problem is that my schedule is always packed and I usually end up trying to get a massage the same day I realize I need one.&nbsp; Often times, there are no openings or the therapist that is available may not be the best. &nbsp;I recently found out that for massages, there&#8217;s an app for that! &nbsp;It&#8217;s called&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.soothe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Soothe<\/a>&nbsp;Massage, which&nbsp;offers 5-star quality massages to be scheduled in as soon as a hour, in the privacy of your own home!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #800080;\">How it Works<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The process is simple &#8211;&nbsp; You can sign up online at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.soothe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.soothe.com<\/a> or download the app on your smart phone.&nbsp; The Soothe Massage app is available on both the <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/soothe-in-home-massage-delivered\/id811054908?mt=8\" target=\"_blank\">App Store<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.soothe.client&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\">GooglePlay<\/a>. &nbsp; Here&#8217;s how it works&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color:

100vw, 599px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Let me start by stating that I have had amazing massages as well as some not-so-great massages.&nbsp; The best I have ever experienced was a couples massage on our honeymoon trip to Costa Rica.&nbsp; I have been in search of that high quality massage ever since.&nbsp; On the opposite end, the worst experience was when a massage therapist put his fingers inside my ears.&nbsp; So, my hope for my Soothe massage was somewhere in between.<\/p>\n<p>My massage therapist arrived about 15 minutes early.&nbsp; I wondered beforehand if I should get my Pandora music ready, or if there was anything I needed to provide.&nbsp; The therapist brought everything; the massage table, linens, candle and used her phone to provide the relaxing music.&nbsp; I honestly felt so relaxed.&nbsp; It was raining so, I even had the sound of nature!<\/p>\n<p>The table set up was complete in just a few moments and the therapist asked me about the type of massage I wanted along with any injuries or medications I was taking.&nbsp; She stepped into the bathroom while I was able to undress to my comfort level.&nbsp; The massage was a 90 minute one &#8211; the therapist said that is a good time frame to really work out the muscles and that 60 minutes can often be too rushed.<\/p>\n<p>I must tell you, this 90 minute Soothe&nbsp;massage rivaled that one in Costa Rica.&nbsp; It was clear that my therapist was well-trained.&nbsp; I had taken a fall down the steps a few days earlier, leaving my left knee very tender and my lower back in pain.&nbsp; She took the time to very carefully work around my injury and worked the muscles that were tight.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When the Soothe&nbsp;massage was done, I was relaxed and my muscles felt less tense.&nbsp; Even better, I didn&#8217;t have to go outside get in my car, and drive with a bunch of crazies on the road after a relaxing massage.&nbsp; Since the massage was at my house, I was able to stay relaxed&#8230;at least until all the kids got home!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #800080;\">Pricing, Payment and Availability<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a

replied that she has not had any bad experiences.&nbsp; She also noted that she was a veteran and a former fire fighter and was well-trained should any situation arise.<\/p>\n<p>On a first visit, you are not able to choose your therapist, only your specific needs\/ gender.&nbsp; After you have had your first massage, you are able to request the same therapist, which reduces the nervousness about who is coming into your home.&nbsp; For me, this was a great experience, one that I would welcome again!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>*I was given a complimentary 90 minute massage
