If you want a down to earth massage do not come here. I feel like she rely on the stones too much. I was in an excruciating deal of pain for days after. Had to take pain meds , visit ER and visit chiropractor. It's day 5 after and still in so much pain.

I don't normally write reviews, but because Roxanne offers such a unique (to me) massage and some might be caught off guard by it, I'm motivated to write one. My wife arranged the massage for me as a surprise birthday present. She mentioned a little about it, but basically I went in blind, prepared for a few off beat (to me) things.The dominant thing I recall was the strength of her fingers and hands. They reached places in me that I never knew I had, where the pain was both intense and welcome at the same time. I could feel her reaching places no other masseuse had before, and had the feeling that it could be very helpful. Roxanne did not ask how much I wanted of the stones and gongs, and she didn't use too much with me. But what she did, I found intriguing, and next time I would ask for more. It's now two weeks later, and I still feel a looseness and sense of well being from the hour plus we spent together. Further, a nagging pain I had in my shoulder--which I did not tell her about--was gone. Two earlier masseuses elsewhere had been directed to work on it without beneficial result, so it's doubly remarkable. Great work, Roxanne!

She tries hard to make a good experience but I prefer a good solid Swedish or deep tissue massage. She used the hot stones to push into me as a way to massage vs. her hands, the whole time. I am used to hot stones being used for just a portion of the message. She also spent some of the massage time putting Tibetan bowls on my back and sound therapy. I prefer just a good solid massage with hands and not interesting twists. If you are into all of that then you would probably like her. Also there was a snafu with her needing an intake form but no paper copies and no wifi or cell coverage and needing masks but no extras.

Massage by the Sea has a lovely atmosphere, with mermaid iconography abundant, and the vibes you get when you're sitting in the lobby, reinforce the level of care that Roxanne (the owner) displays toward your body. She utilizes hot stones, essential oils in ayurvedic fashion, Tibetan Singing Bowls, Tuning Forks, and a wonderfully heated massage table to relax you and de-toxify your body. I frequently request her services, because she makes me feel good, she is knowledgeable about the human body, and has over 20 years of experience with massage. I think she is a unique masseuse because of her level of expertise, and her ability to utilize all of these tools to make sure your pain goes away. Drink plenty of water afterward! I will forever employ her services! Due to COVID-19 Pandemic Protocols, you will have to wear a mask, have your temp checked at the door, and go through a check-list to ensure safety, She also wears a mask when she performs massage. The environment felt very safe and clean!

We got a couples' massage for our anniversary. We're old massage hands, but these folks had some interesting twists we hadn't experienced before, like vibrating Tibetan bowls. They also used aromatherapy, tuning forks and hot stones. Very relaxing, and pleasant people.
