Our beauty director has a massage moment

I like my body massages simple. Don’t rub me down with hot rocks, wrap me in tinfoil or make some bird-boned 60lb person walk across my back. And I’m not keen on the soft touch and tickle approach either. Massages should be the tension relieving, sleep inducing deep-tissue treatments typically found at specialty clinics, not spas. Or at least that’s what I thought. Unable to book an appointment at my tried and true Sutherland Chan massage clinic (sutherland-chan.com), I found myself lying atop Lily’s massage table at Concepts Spa & Salon (massages from $45, 60 Bloor St. W., Toronto, 416-922-2823, conceptstoronto.com). Her deft touch combined with the perfect amount of pressure worked out my knots and kinks and had me softly snoring within 60 minutes. Amen.
