It may not be possible to share my experience of a massage by Vladimir in words. You really have to experience it. The man is a healer. Vladimir knows bodies.
Intuitive and strong (though no pain - which is amazing since, at times, he's going so deep into muscle, tissue - I lay there wondering why it doesn't hurt!) - he listens to your body; it's not a scripted session - Vladimir concentrates completely on you and finds his way to what your body needs to feel at ease and pliable.
An hour and a half goes by in a languid blink.
I've had massages before and they have been pleasurable experiences. This goes beyond that, it stays with you, in you, like the release after a good therapy session - only Vladimir does the work for you.
For someone like me, who fragments herself in a state of constant activity, overlapping appointments and projects, I need a place like Haven, and the helping hands of Vladimir to focus on what I neglect, remind me of what balance can feel like, and gel me back together.
Side note: the receptionists are sweet and attentive.
Pros: relaxing atmosphere, pleasant reception, quiet
Cons: not a one
