First - I have to say that I feel very qualified to make this review. I get a 80-in. massage every week and I travel internationally extensively - and try to get 1-2 massages when I travel just to function. I know what a good and a bad massage are like and feel that I can adequately speak to the experience that I had at Sensation Spa.
My massage therapist was Aurelie. She was beyond fantastic. If I could give her 10 stars, I would. While my French is atrocious and she spoke little English - she was able to clearly understand that as an athlete/long-time weight lifter, I needed whatever she could throw at me, and boy did she. I want to interrupt my raving review to say that if you are in need to a relaxing massage, she can absolutely provide that, but I needed something completely different.
I got a mix of Thai massage, Shiatsu, some trigger point work, and deep tissue. She was incredibly intuitive and just seemed to know what my body needed. And on top of being an incredibly skillful bodyworker, she was just an absolute gem of a person with wonderful energy.
If I lived in Paris, I'd make Aurelie my regular massage therapist. She's that good.
