I'm giving them two stars instead of one because the front desk people were very friendly--one of them was very helpful with all my questions about deep tissue massages.
My appointment was with Amy, who appeared normal, friendly, and professional at first. It wasn't until about fifteen minutes into the massage that she started talking to me about the Bible. First, she told me a story about Noah and why homosexuality is a sin, and that she thinks the US is going to be destroyed because gay marriage is legal now.
I'm a very nonconfrontational person, and given that I'm half naked with her digging her fingers into my spine I didn't feel comfortable arguing with her. I don't know, I'm not great at handling weird situations.
I tried to redirect her to talking about pressure points, problem areas, etc. She kept returning to Christianity. At one point she said the government is trying to put chips in our heads with the antichrist in them. I can't help but laugh typing this out. I mentioned my dad is Hindu and she told me I need to accept Jesus Christ into my heart, that he is the "one true god". Later on, we were talking about stretching exercises, and I asked about yoga. She strongly suggested I against yoga, saying it's a way of worshipping Indian gods, and that strange things happen when you do it.
Amy even told me there have been multiple complaints about her in the past. How is this woman still working here? Her comments made me feel like I was being worked on by a crazy woman, and that if I said something against her religion she might actually hurt me.
I complained to the receptionist when I came out and she was pretty surprised and apologized. Offered to get the operations manager for me, but I just wanted to get out of there.
So here I am, sitting at the Starbucks across the street from them writing this. I don't know if their other massage therapists are crazy, maybe the rest of them are great, but it definitely says something that they've already talked to Amy about this behavior multiple times and she's still working there.
