Eat, spa, relax!Hi:
My name is Katherine Xie and I live in Singapore - a busy and bustling country in Asia. One of my favorite hobby is going for a spa, massage or reflexology session whenever I have the inclination and time. I really enjoy the peace and calm that a spa or massage session can bring to the body after a hard day’s work. In my opinion, nothing in life beats dipping into a bubbling hot tub or putting your body under the skilled and soothing hands of a well-trained masseur

I love spa and massage so much that whenever I travel for work or pleasure, I will try to weave a local country spa or massage session into my visit. I am lucky to be living in Asia - where spa and massages are relatively inexpensive, easily available and a time-honored traditional skill.

After years of visiting spas and massage boutiques, I have long realised that it is not how big or how well advertised a spa is for the quality of it’s service, masseurs or facilities. Oftentimes, the smaller or obscure spa may provide even better service and quality.

Hence, one of the purpose of my spa, massage and wellness blog is to discover the small and obscure spa and massage boutique palor as I make my way around discovering the best of Asia’s spa and massage experiences!

I also like to do research into the various forms of spas, massage, detox, fitness, therapeutic and wellness treatments and products and I will share my findings in this blog here as well.

All my articles are original (credited where not original) and I give my views and opinions as fairly as possible and will not hesitate to pass negative comments if I feel a service is not up to mark. Many spa reviews in magazines and websites are really advertorials - in other words, the spa owners paid the magazines or websites for a non-partisan review. I want my blog to reflect the real consumer angle stripped of any form of advertising.

You may want to contact me if you have comments or advice. You can also email me at: info(@)best-spa-massage.com - remember to take away the brackets.

Do join me as I share my experience and I really hope to hear from you wherever you may be in the world about your own spa and massage experiences as well!

Attention: Spa Owners looking for write-up

I will accept complimentary spa or massage treatments and I will write a review in this blog in return. However, I will be fair and neutral in my reviews. That means I will include negative remarks if I feel it is warranted.

If you cannot take a negative review, please do not bother to offer complimentary treatments. However, a long-term looking spa owner should certainly look forward to a fair review, warts and all, in order to improve further! Many reputable large companies will in fact pay mystery shoppers to get honest and un-bias reviews of their shops.

You may want to contact me for further discussions on a spa or massage review.

Attention: Corporate advertisers for health, wellness and spa treatments and products

I will accept advertisements on this blog. There are not many spa or massage blogs/websites on the internet. There are a few large spa websites but their attention is more towards spa owners than consumers. If you are interested in reaching hundreds of targeted spa and massage readers and consumers a day, please talk to me about advertising on this blog.

Advertisements on this blog will not be expensive but I do need to cover some expenses for my own spa and massage sessions. In turn, I can write even more reviews from these sessions which will attract even more readers for your advertisements!

Advertisement formats include: Banners, Link Images, text-links and video links.

    Hello,

    I stumbled on your site because I saw that you had stumbled on mine. I think it’s great. I’ll visit often. You have lots of informative tidbits and I will collect spa data for my next Asian visit. Yes, you are fortunate to live in a place where there are so many spa choices.

    See you around spa land.

    Hi Kat, I am very happy to come across your blog, to know someone who do appreciate foot reflexology, and actually researched and write about it.

    A little bit about myself, I fell in love with foot reflexology when I received my first treatment in 2006.

    There onwards, I took up a 2 days basic course at Rwo Shur Health Institute at Far East Plaza, and practised it on my family and friends.

    I continued to learn under an experienced reflexologist while pursuing my studies.

    Hope to read more interesting articles from you.

    Take care!

    Hi David:

    Glad you like my blog. Rwo Shur foot reflexology tends to be a bit painful and I prefer the more therapeutic Chinese version.

    Please feel free to contribute articles about your learning experience with reflexology.

    All best to your practice!

    Hi Simon:
    You are right. The link is broken but I wonder why? The last I checked it was working fine. Anyway, you can contact me at info(@)best-spa-massage.com directly - remember to take away the brackets.
