There is no better way to learn than from someone who is not only an expert, but also passionate about what he is teaching. Joe Lavin is an excellent massage therapist, who cares deeply about what he does and about the people he works with. In addition, he is so easygoing and relaxed, there’s no need to feel intimidated or nervous with him. Our workshop was on Valentine’s night and it was just the perfect way to spend the evening. There was no pressure to chat or mingle (which was fine for me, naturally shy….) but everyone seemed friendly and nice. We had plenty of space to ourselves — Joe provides it all, from tables and sheets to lotion, hot stones, etc. My husband and I both felt that we received a great massage and I felt like I learned a lot. Thanks Joe!
