Bellaroyalspa / thai tara
I had a very packed day since it was the first time I could get out since things started to reopen. Early in the morning, I had an appointment with ambermari (bellaroyalspa) who is an independent, massage only provider that works out of her condo near dtla. I found her ad on rr and cross ref'd with reviews on ter to find that she moved to LA a few months ago from oceanside. She advertises deep tissue cmt as well as nuru, but opted for deep tissue. Pics are lightly photoshopped but not too far off. Massage was a little better than the pity massage that you get at the FS places but the finish was above average. Amber has a very nice body and was easy to communicate with. $$ for 60 was a bit steep considering no FS, however the fact that she was independent and would see me at 8 am made up for it. I will probably repeat.
Since I was actually in need of a good massage, went back to see one of my ATFs vicky at thai tara. Not much has changed there other than the MTs wearing masks and scrubs. Looks like they're pretty strenuous about changing sheets, sanitizing and taking temps on entry. I will always go back there.
