“I have spent many years searching for the perfect massage—on ships, at spas, and through private individuals. What I was really looking for was the perfect massage therapist. I have found her—right here in West Palm Beach. Anita Dean appears to be a very slight woman, hardly likely to perform a massage worth its weight in gold, but looks can be deceiving. Anita’s touch is not too hard and not too soft. Capable of great strength, she is exquisitely gentle (when delicacy is called for) treating each person individually, according to his or her specific aches or pains (both physical and emotional). Anita has had extensive training in her field and it shows. Initially, I thought I would have an occasional treatment—now see Anita every other week. I heartily recommend her to anyone and everyone.”
