My time with Brooks was great. A bit tough for parking (on Newport Beach) but I was able to eventually find a spot and walk over. He was very welcoming and nice to chat with.
The massage itself was fantastic. I was comfortable from the get go, and I can tell Brooks was being considerate with the pressure of the massage. When I told him that I could definitely take a bit more pressure, he acquiesced and the pressure from then on was amazing.
Once he flipped me over to massage my chest and torso, he had a definite sense for the rhythm and pressure I was looking for.
There were a few surprises here and there, and the massage did end a little early, but I walked away with a smile on my face, and the pain in my back completely erased. I plan on seeing him again
