This review is from: The Royal Treatment (Paperback)

I work as a massage therapist and do a lot of spa treatments and I found "The Royal Treatment" to have wonderful information, clear directions for everybody to understand, and the author Steve Capellini puts out the positive healing energy that is so important when going to a spa or creating one at home. I recommend The Royal Treatment to everyone. :)
