After honing her kneading skills in an upscale spa setting, licensed therapist Vanessa Andrews made the entrepreneurial leap with her very own massage studio. At Tender Touch Massage, Vanessa practices relaxing Swedish, prenatal, and hot-stone techniques to help relieve mind and muscle tension. To further stimulate the senses, aromatic scents such as lavender, rosemary, and eucalyptus can be added to massage oil. Other add-on services include a skin-sloughing brown sugar scrub for the feet or hands, and paraffin wax treatments that moisturize the skin while easing aches related to arthritis, bursitis, or bites from the abominable snowman.
