I cannot say with all certainty what this provider's "authenticity" is, however I can say that the service provided was exceptional. Going into this I was under the impression that she was legit, had I thought otherwise I may not have gone. Nonetheless, after going I really have no apprehension to visit her again. She is a genuinely nice person who loves what they do and does a great job. If your focus is on a high quality massage with a great release, then it may be for you. Should I go again I will try to get something more definitive.
