AN AWESOME MASSAGE IS AMAZING BUT…..

Finding a wonderful therapist to give it is hard! I had the most amazing Therapeutic Deep-Tissue Massage & HAD to pass along the info. It was like nothing I have ever had before but it sure did make a sore and tense body feel good! Samantha knows exactly where the body needs to be worked and is extremely talented in finding the pressure points to elevate the knots that have built up. Starting face up, she works from the feet, towards the heart and no ounce of skin is left untouched! It’s nothing close to a “Spa” massage, but it definitely was money well spent. A 90 min. massage is ONLY $100 AND she comes to YOU!!  I HIGHLY recommend her. One try and you will be HOOKED! You can call or text her at 727-408-4401or email SamanthaVictoriaMassage@gmail.com
