I have been to SLOCO Massage & Wellness Spa twice, and am on my way this week to visit for a third time. Although I have not been someone who is confident with getting massages, my husband thought I needed one and gave me a gift certificate for my birthday. When I finally redeemed the certificate, the experience was so warm and caring that my usual awkwardness melted away.

Catherine researched my condition (which includes hypermobility and ridiculously sensitive skin) and truly helped the areas that needed work without creating problems; I have moderate to severe chronic joint pain, but each time I have had a massage I have left pain-free (what's that about?) and stayed that way for a couple days. That is unbelievable in and of itself, but it gets better -- now that I know what "good" is supposed to feel like, I can better care for myself between visits.

The experience is body-positive, modesty-preserving, totally comfortable, and relaxing. I think it is fun to pick my own soundtrack, and feel supported, cared about, and respected at every moment. I practically had to be pushed in the first time -- now, trust me, they could not keep me away.
