Yesterday I had a hot stone massage at Mind 2 Body. The place is a little difficult to find as it is a Bungalow in a residential area. Originally i went to the wrong door but I met Denise and she showed me to the massage room. The studio is decorated in purple and a very relaxing environment. There is an ensuite to get changed in which I have never seen before.
I filled out the questionnaire and had a chat with Denise who offered me a back exfoliation scrub with Lemon and Mango for a discounted price of £10 which I took. This took about ten minutes and felt really refreshing. The hot stones were then placed of top of a towel on my back and I was left there for approximately another ten minutes. When Denise came back to the room she proceeded to massage me with the hot stones, alternating between the two in her hands and two being heated up. I could feel the tension in my muscles releasing as she did so and I was suprised at how fast the time went. This time the whole massage was focused on my back as we felt that would be best for my current needs. I am returning again in a few weeks for another and would recommend anyone who is looking for a balance between a sports massage and relaxing massage to visit Denise. She also offers other therapies such as counselling and hypnotherapy.
