  WOMEN BEWARE! Be careful if you are a woman booking here. I really tried to give the male therapist, Marco, the benefit of the doubt, but I left this massage feeling sexually harassed and taken advantage of. From the beginning, I told him not to move my underwear (the thin paper thong provided), yet he continued to lift and move it even after I told him not to touch it and became rude and impatient when I told him that I was not comfortable with him touching that area. At one point, he pulled it up toward my stomach and snapped it and said, “What, you want it like this?”—implying I was being prudish. When I said no, he then asked if I wanted to remove it completely, despite my clear boundaries. Throughout the session, he continued lifting and moving the thong, which I later confirmed with friends and family is absolutely not standard or professional practice. His comments were equally inappropriate. He joked about being gay, asked if I had a boyfriend, and when I became visibly uncomfortable, he told me he had checked my age and that I was “too young for him.” That kind of behavior is incredibly unprofessional and unsettling to hear in such a vulnerable environment. I also felt unsafe because he did not drape me properly. He adjusted the coverings in ways that allowed him to sneak peeks, and even insisted on staying in the room while I undressed. When he told me to “open my towel” to get on the table, I refused and said I was uncomfortable. He became visibly irritated and reprimanded me for getting under the blanket on my own. At one point, he offered to end the session early, and looking back I wish I had left, but I felt trapped because there were no other staff in the entire studio (front desk included) and my clothes were in another room behind a sliding door that didn’t lock. I went along with to avoid escalating the situation. This was one of the most uncomfortable and unprofessional experiences I’ve ever had. Women especially, please be cautious when booking here and owners please do a better job of training your staff on boundaries, consent, and professionalism.
