We'll be celebrating our 30th anniversary on Bonaire in January and I'm thinking I'd like to give my wife a day of pampering, massage, etc. I have NO clue what this stuff is about (this is kind of new ground for both of us), but I thought it might make a nice (and completely different) gift (plus I might have to dive the "wild side" that day......bad old me). Does anybody have any experience or anybody you might could direct me to.

thanks
joe

Mary and I second Linda's positive recommendation of Nubia.

Hi Joe,

My name is Ann Johnson and I am a massage therapist. Below I have posted some general information that might be helpful to you in learning more about massage.

I have applied for a license to work as a therapist on Bonaire and will hopefully start working there in mid-January. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Why Massage Therapy?
The history of massage is widespread and ancient. It has been used since the ancient civilizations of Greece, Rome, China and India. It was popular during the Middle Ages in Europe. Massage therapy as it’s known today began to emerge around 1800 in Europe and the United States. Swedish massage is a popular type of Western massage widely used today to actively manipulate muscle and tissue to produce various benefits. Massage therapy is recognized as a valuable tool in natural promotion of health and fitness.

What are the benefits of massage?
Massage has the potential to cause physical, mental and emotional changes. It promotes improved general health and can be used to address specific issues.

Physical effects include:
General Relaxation
Reduction of Pain
Improved Blood Circulation
Muscle Relaxation
Healthy Skin
Improved Immune System Function
Connective Tissue Release
Increased Joint Mobility and Flexibility

Mental and Emotional effects include:
Reduced Anxiety
Emotional Release
Stress Reduction
Increased Mental Clarity

Thanks for the info and for the references, I have since emailed Nubia for info leading, probably to a reservation for the Missus.

You guys (persons?) sure make shopping easy
