My Massage with Nick Marrs
July 2019
Overall Experience
I was very comfortable being in his space. He is a great person intent on improving himself and continuing to learn new things about massage therapy.
Making the Appointment
He has online booking and is also approachable for any questions
Parking and Arrival Instructions
Parking is easy. His building has a parking lot attached. Once parked, you enter the building and find his suite.
The Pre-Massage Interview
Nick is very easy to talk to, and you know he cares about giving you a great massage experience. However, I did request more time spent on my lower back and I think it may have slipped his mind, or we should have discussed further what I was really expecting as far as what I wanted for my lower back. Maybe he did spend more time on it than he normally does, but it was different from my expectation. I should have been more clear.
The Massage
I appreciate the amount of pressure Nick provides as well as his pacing.
But I felt he was a little too aware of my breathing – it seemed every deep breath I took made him pause and wait for me to exhale. That made me feel self-conscious about how I was breathing.
When I turned over to be face-up, we left the sheet over my face. I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to leave it like that or not. It’s not something I had ever experienced before, and while I felt silly leaving it over my face, I decided it was intentional on his part as an effective way for me to not worry about any facial expressions and cover my eyes.
His draping is very secure and I particularly enjoyed his leg and neck work on me. I found the music to be a bit on the boring side, but this is when I was really focusing on music in sessions and I’m not sure I would still think that a year later. Overall I really enjoy his work and I hope to see him again.
