Echo of Joy

Thai massage

Thursday, May 5, 2011

Every once in a while I like to treat myself to a massage. I hadn't done this for three or four years until I went last fall to Gam's Thai Massage in Northfield. I just went back last week, as a post-Easter splurge to unwind after the crazy weeks of Lent.





On both visits, I've had a 90-minute basic Thai massage, which involves stretching and twisting, hot rice packs and cool washcloths, as well as more familiar massage techniques.

Anything that lets me begin by soaking my feet is off to a good start as far as I'm concerned! (Those are the super-comfy drawstring pants Gam provides for the session, along with a soft t-shirt.)





Hot tea to enjoy while I soak my feet, and a glass of water for after the session. Beautiful hospitality in a serene environment makes it easy to relax.





Gam is very talented and committed to her work. Even with my birthday long past, she gave me a gift card for a free massage, because she normally sends a buy-one-get-one-free coupon for birthdays. So I have another 90-minute Thai massage to look forward to sometime soon!
