Back and Shoulders Massage

Fantastic, vigorous but relaxing massage by Serena! Part of a 3 for £40 offer (or £28 individually), the Transition masseurs really listen to you and follow your needs and preferences regarding body area and pressure. I like my massages firm and for getting the knots and tension out but if you prefer gentler pressure, then this can be easily done too. In a sound-proofed, comfortable, dark room with a suitably ambient, calming soundtrack played quietly in the background to fully succumb your senses, the massage was both a invigorating, healing and relaxing experience so I've booked my next one already!
