The first session with Mia caught me by surprise because it was unlike any form of massage I'd experienced in the past. Being naturally lazy, I never do any "body work" on my own - basically Mia put me through a strenuous stretching session, with no effort whatsoever on my part! Not surprisingly, my muscleature is quite rigid, and I could feel spaces inside my body start to open up as she worked. Even more astounding was the effect on my mind. I was going through a particularly anxious period in my life at that time; during the session I could actually sense myself starting to "let go". I began to daydream...and it felt like my mind was opening up as well and floating upwards...to a place where things were not so fearful, where I had a broader view of my life, and where all things seemed possible again.
