Review from Tabatha Anne Y.

I'm not used to such fancy-shmancy treatment! Absolute Spa does a great job of making you feel like you're on a tiny little relaxation getaway. This is probably due to the fact that most of their clientele are staying at the resort and ARE on vacation, but I'm just a local shlub who needed to see their RMT.
I was at a loss for where to go for registered massage therapy, downtown hails similar prices to what I paid at Absolute and aren't necessarily in a spa setting. There are more economical choices but the locations aren't always great and their hours are usually my working office hours so I can't fit an appointment in. I threw in the towel and called Absolute because they are located centrally and open 7 days a week. I made a Saturday appointment to see Doug, and I'm not going to lie, the thought of a male masseuse made me uneasy but my visit was great. Doug was friendly, professional and didn't make me feel awkward at all. He has been an RMT for (I believe) 14 years so he knows what he's doing and it shows. I left my appointment feeling relaxed and not like I'd been tenderized like a slab of steak (as I had with some other times I'd gone to see an unfamiliar RMT, I was too afraid to speak up and had been worked too hard)
I made a follow up appointment and plan to return as long as I am able to.
