Review: Chang Holistic and Anne

[Aliza]

This was originally posted at MBB and is here now for those who may be interested...

I had read several reports about this place and was intrigued. Although I have been to many massage establishments over the last several years, I have never had what I would call a "Real" massage. It's only a short drive from where I live so I hopped in the car and headed up there. Contrary to what I've since read, it is possible to walk in without an appointment and get a session. I did, one hour with Anne.

Changs Holistic is in a very professional looking industrial plaza. I found the place and walked up the stairs to an open-concept sort of area where Anne was sitting. I met her and another Chinese lady who I assumed was Shirley, I didn't ask her name. I was asked if I had an appointment, how I knew about the place. I told them that I had seen the website. They were very friendly and showed me to the room and the shower. I took a shower and returned to the room, which was quite large and bright with anatomy diagrams on the walls.

Anne returned to the room before I had finished drying off. She motioned for me to get on the table, which I did. She placed a towel over my lower thighs. I'm not quite sure why. The lights were dimmed and the massage began. She checked with me too see what type of massage I wanted, medium please and Anne began her work. I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed her massage. This was by far the best massage I have ever received. She used her hands, arms, legs, knees and I'm not quite sure what else because to be honest, I was in la-la land for the most part. This was great. This was a full-body massage from head to toe with ample time spent on fingers and toes and arms and legs and forehead and neck and nose and eyes and all parts in between.

I left feeling invigorated. Anne gave me a cup of tea to take with me. Shirley asked me on the way out if I had enjoyed my massage and of course I answered that I had. She told me that I was given Chinese Ginseng tea and that it would make me feel better and give me energy. I think the massage did that for me.

This place is a definite repeat for me. Anne was quite quiet through the most part while she was performing her magic but opened up for some conversation towards the end of the session. Nice girl and very skilled at what she does.

revolver,

I checked out Anne based on your review on MBB, and I gotta thank you! It was the best damn massage I've ever gotten. She walked on my back, used every part of her body on mine and really took relaxation to a new level.

I met Shirley when I first got there, and Northred, if you say she's better, which I don't doubt cause Anne looks like the student and Shirley looks like a professor, I gotta check her out.

I'm from the States and I thought we had bad ass traffic, but driving on the 401 past the airport during rush hour, I just needed a damn good massage and this did it for me. This will be my first stop from now on, then hit the MPs after a nap, finish the weekend with my fave SP. What a weekend.

That is, in fact, true.

As was said in another thread by Chivas Regal, you have been CHANGed, my friend!

I too have recently had the pleasure of checking out "Chang's"

It seems to me that this is starting out to be a phenomenon!

I also had the pleasure of enjoying a massage from anne.

She was great, I had the combination of massage styles myself, she used arm's, knee, elbow, feet (while walking on back) etc... as you have read from other posts.

The only not too cool thing is the common room shower, however they do provide some robe's etc... so it wasn't too bad for me.

I will definately return again, and try "Shirley" she definately has the "Professor"look about her.

Thumbs up says it all.

Although I don't review this place anymore, it is by FAR the best therapeutic massage in the GTA, booking the same day appointment.

A very, VERY satisfied customer!

I am an MP newbie.. do you get the 'release' at this place along with a massage or do you get a good massage without the release? No one mentioned this in their ratings...

 

[DanC]

I opted not to go for the release, no real eye candy there and after a massage of this caliber, my whole body was limp.

Anne is sweet and cute, but there's Danielle @ Allure among a ton of others if I'm looking for a great release.

There's plenty of places for the "eye/hand" coordination, for me Chang's serve a different function. RELAXATION.

IMHO,

I had a session with Shirley, the massage was the best that I have even had... and she tried very hard to make sure your enjoy. well... spartan5782 is right ... this is not the place for release. but to enjoy a good massage. If I am horny, I would go to HFH/IT to look for a fine looking girl..

 

[satori295]

so.. bottom line. ... no 'release' at all at Chang's?
I was under the impression that was the whole point of MPs.. otherwise why not go to an RMT?

 

[Toni Nicholas]

it is included.

And it's damn good too. Nice soft fingertips. Slow gentle caresses. No rush. Very good skills.

Fact is... the massage itself is worth the money. But the finish was provided as part of the service. But that's it. Nothing more. I would have left satisfied with the thorough massage. Can't say that about too many other places or MPA's.

This kind of spa is very rare. I wish other operators would clue in to the popularity of this place and offer the same kind of service.

Thanks.. I misunderstood that as a sort of purposely misleading moniker.

But I have heard that a release is possible.. I would love to get a professional massage finished with a professional release.
hmmm..

Shaithis,

The whole point of going to a restaurant is to eat, but if you want a great steak, you don't go to a sushi bar....

I've been to RMTs here in the States and they don't utilize the skills that Anne has learned, and on my next visit, Shirley has taught.

Yes, there are a gazillion MPs in Toronto that hire gorgeous young ladies that couldn't give a decent massage for life, but you'll hit the ceiling with your release!! That's their purpose. I love them and attend often.

Chang's is for a unique and totally relaxing massage. Not everyone has a need for this. If you're young, limber and going to live forever (I used to be) all you may want in life is the "release". Nothing wrong with that. If a 95 lb girl walking on your back does you good, this is the place.

If you can find a combination of the two, put a ring on it cause that's marriage material!!

Cheers,
Sparty
