Flanders House - Suzanne Staples LMT, Portland

Suzanne does good work! Her hot stone massage was wonderful - soothing and relaxing. It was also therapeutic as I had lots of tight spots which are pleasantly loosening. Also? Incredible sense of wellbeing.

Suzanne was very sweet and very knowledgable, but very chatty. I usually prefer not to talk during my massages. Her fingernails were also long enough to be noticeable during the massage, which was uncomfortable. However, the massage itself was okay, and Suzanne has a very bright, open soul.

I misplaced the coupons I had for 2 massages and didn't schedule until early Dec. She only had time for 1 massage on the last day of her deal and we booked it . When I arrived, she she insisted I give her personal information I did not chose to share with her. She said it was required. (I've been massaged for years and no one ever demanded this information.) She scolded me, saying I was rude and uncooperative and that she didn't want to massage me. I didn't appreciate being scolded and I agreed to not having her give me a massage because I didn't want the negative energy she was directing at me. She said she would contact Groupon to tell them to issue a refund for what I had paid.

She did a great job and was accommodating when I showed up at the "main" location rather than where she has her office, so was late for my appt. But, had I known that her office was located up three flights of stairs I would not have purchased--or shown for the appt. I think it is imporant that a massage therapist have an accessible office. Or at least let people know that it is not.
