I had a 90min Hot Stone Massage with Leah and I cannot recommend it enough! I was in heaven. Very relaxing and great to relieve tension on my muscles. I left the treatment room floating, in a beautiful meditative state, and excellent mood. I will definitely book again. Excellent treatment and therapist.
