What a Heavenly Experience!

I can't tell you how much relaxed I felt after a soothing massage yesterday. It felt like heaven! :) My good boss and associates at work surprised me with a gift certificate for a prenatal massage at Mario Tricoci. They set up an appointment date for me, and even took me there and picked me up as well. The massage therapist was so warm and friendly, and she seemed so skilled at what she does. The room had low lightening and the background music was soft and almost hypnotic. Initially, she asked me to lie down on my back with a pillow underneath my knees. Then, she started massaging my head down to my neck and shoulders. Oh, that felt so good! After that, she did my arms and legs. I felt a little bit tickled on my feet though. :) Lastly, she asked me to lie on my side and hug a full-length body pillow for support. She gently rubbed my back, focusing on the lower part. Since my belly has been getting bigger, it also has been putting much strain on my back. I have been suffering from backaches for a couple of weeks, and the massage surely helped relieve the discomfort. At the end, she told me to drink lots of water to aid in the release of toxins from my body. After the experience, I felt so renewed, and I almost didn't want to get up! In short, I loved it! :)
