Finally saw Maria last week.
Bottom line: A good experience for the money.
It was my first time for a hot stone / hot oil massage, and she really helped ease a sore neck and shoulder area. The massage was very nice. When it came to the sensual part, the teasing was good, not great. And the HJ was good, not great.
She's short (maybe 5'-0" ?), blonde, bubbly, and I'd guess 50+ (years, not chest size). She's very conscientious, has an immaculately clean work space, and although small, the massage alcove is big enough for its purpose. It doesn't feel cramped. The shower facilities are immaculate was well.
She's been compared to Sally due to similarity of rates and services. I prefer Sally, but it's fairly close. Both are very nice people and give value for money, and that counts with me. I think they are more comfortable with the rub that the tug.
Sally's boobs are nicer (shape, firmness, nipple color and definition) in my estimation, and I like the strength of her massage. Sally's HJ technique seems a little better, but maybe a second visit with Maria will bring out some added details that have been mentioned here but which my first session lacked.
I prefer Sally as a conversationalist; Maria seems to be slightly uncomfortable with English. (She's from Poland, is Polish and Swedish by parentage, lived in Montreal, and may have made a stop or two along the way.)
It's been said that Maria is shy about breast exposure, but will do it in a limited way (out of the bra, but using the underside of the bra as support, and shirt remains on but is raised}. My hunch is that she's saggy, and wants to present them in the best light. She also seemed a bit uncomfortable with gentle nipple play.
It's also been mentioned that through sign- and body-language she suggests that you do the HJ yourself. I'd interpret this a little differently -- I think she wants you to get involved in the process (she did that twice in the session), but will do 95% of the work herself. Maybe it's a fetish of hers, wanting to watch a guy stroke himself a little, even though its mainly her show. For my first visit, she did not rub my willie on any part of her body or head, as other have experienced. How common is this with her?
Time was a little short. I booked for an hour, but was on the table between 45 and 50 minutes -- about 80% of the stated session length. She didn't end abruptly though -- she did a some transitioning into the real world after the happy ending. She also picked up the phone during the hands-on-Mr. Happy part of the process, and even though she was quick about the call, I'm not sure that this was the best thing to do. She took another call during the body massage; that didn't really bother me.
People have noted that she sticks her tongue out, in a charming way, while she works your wang. I found that cute, and it reminded me that when I played basketball as a kid I used to unconsciously stick my tongue out before taking a shot. She also expressed a mild surprised delight and approval at the
conclusion of my ejaculation -- a little corny and overdone perhaps, but surely meant in a good, ego stroking way.
I think she may be just a little conflicted about the sensual parts of her service, but nevertheless works to overcome that in the interests of good customer service.
Obviously YMMV, and a second session may be different and a little better than the first.
Does anyone know how long she's been in business in Vancouver?
No complaints, and will repeat if time and travel schedule permit.
As people have noted, she's a nice lady. I think she takes great pride in doing a friendly and professional job.
