Well Roland, I'm not too sure a professionally trained masseuse would agree with your reasoning. You quote..."A low level manual non academic skill". I think that shows your lack of true understanding of what a real massage is all about.
If you wish to receive a firm rub down then yes I fully agree with you that almost anyone could provide such an experience. And many working girls do exactly that. However, it isn't a true massage from a qualified therapist.
Paula IS a qualified massage therapist and is a very good one too. As such I think her charges are very reasonable. Finding a professionally qualified therapist who offers the little extra that most people on this web site are seeking isn't an easy task in my experience.
I have visited her several times and have always been very pleased with the massage combined with a wonderfully delivered and very pleasurable ending.
For what it's worth, only my opinion I know but I think Paula is a very attractive lady with a lovely friendly personality. Fredhiggins says she looks like Judy Davis. I can see his point but I don't think that comparison does Paula justice. All things considered I am more than happy with the standard of service I have received during my visits. That's why I am a repeat customer.
