What a wonderful adventure! I have never gone to a Tub and Tan before but last time I was in Portland, on the advice of many friends, I visited and it was the best experience of the year. I am a rather shy and reticent person but John is such a kind, non judgemental, considerate person, he greeted me with real warmth, helped me to feel safe and as if I were a precious person instead of a 50 plus woman with physical challenges! He visited with me long enough to help me choose exactly the right private room theme for me. Not only is he an honest businessman but very creative with tremendous attention to detail, right down to the color selections for the Tubs, the wide variety of music , and the wide variety of themes. I felt so safe as I relaxed into the Tub, enjoying the little glass of wine they allowed me to bring in, indulged in deep relaxation and the beauty of the painted scene enveloping me and the luscious notes of esoteric, relaxing music in my headphones It's been such a difficult year but I felt every ounce of stress and sorrow just melt away and sink to the bottom of the Tub and flow away! I even indulged in a tan, something I rarely do, and it left my skin glowing, warm, and full of vitamin D- no burns, no errors, no worries, just a beautiful warming experience on every level. Next spring when I visit Portland again, I look forward to enjoying an outdoor tub! I think it would be fun on a fresh spring day with a Portland rain falling. I wish John and his staff all the best and I hope that they and this establishment remain to bless Portland and visitors for a very long time. Visiting Portland Tub and Tan is good and refreshing for body soul and spirit and in this environment, where I felt nurtured and protected and valued, I had the opportunity to reawaken my own sense of self care. I hope everyone has a chance to visit many times.
