My trip was coming to an end and I wanted one last visit to the spa to complete it. My husband had the Thai Massage the day before and loved it so I thought I would give it a try.

I didn't fork up for the water rituals so I arrived right on time to
begin my treatment.  My therapist greeted me and introduced herself,
then brought me to my room.  It was much smaller than all the others I
had visited but it was warm and pleasant.  After I changed and was on
the table my therapist began the treatment.

She started out with
the dry brushing and then moved into the poultices, starting at my feet
she moved upward, towards my hips in a rolling motion with the warm
lavender filled, cheese cloths.  She then massaged each foot and leg
with a lavender oil.  The treatment was divine.  After working my legs
she moved to my arms and back. This was where it all came together, the
warm compresses felt perfect on my sore, well traveled muscles.  It was a
perfect combination of heat and pressure.  After I flipped, my
therapist placed the compresses under my shoulders to help loosen them
up.  After massaging the front of my legs she went back to my
shoulders.  Between the warm heat and massage I felt like I could
stretch my neck better than when I started my trip.  It was such a great
treatment I wish I could find someone here in Monterey that offers it! 
So amazing.  They gave me the poultices to take home and reuse in a hot
bath soak.  Unfortunately they didn't fit in the suitcase... so they
stayed in Rome.  The perfect way to end my journey with the Norwegian
Jade.
