I've been to Therapeutic Retreat 3 or 4 times for massages and every time I am impressed.  Everything is top notch.  Marie listens well and is very knowledgeable.  I have persistent (read: EVIL) knots in my upper back that most masseuses are unable to work out (or only able to work out by inflicting a lot of pain).  Marie is capable of working out the knots, stretching the tight areas, and doing so without being overly aggressive.  I appreciate all of that very much!  If I splurge for a 90 minute massage, I know that not only will the knots be gone but I'll also walk out of there in a relaxed zen-like state.  Ahhhhhhhh...
