A little-known fact about your business?
We have a tradition of bringing each other chocolate to brighten each other’s day.
What did you want to be when you grew up?
A postmodern dancer or an architect.
Three things in your bag right now?
My wallet, an Awareness Through Movement CD for the jaw, and my bookkeeper’s business card.
According to the Valentine’s Day gift-giving rule book,* cards are for co-workers, chocolates are for yourself, and massages at The Spa Room are for just about everyone.
Mary Szegda founded the boutique wellness studio to provide a five-star client-centric experience. Inspired by her work as a dance movement therapist, Szegda encourages self-expression and a whole-body experience. The rest of her team is just as attentive and skilled — some hold graduate degrees and have taught at the university level.
Which means you get quality instruction in a host of classes, including Romantic Massage 101. If you prefer to get your kicks outside the classroom, a couple’s massage that includes Garshana silk-glove exfoliation and a wild rose facial is the modern man’s alternative to a dozen long stem roses. Everyone’s skin will feel supple and fresh thanks to ancient ayurvedic techniques.
Which totally rules.
*No such thing.
