This was my first time at this place. Taking one for the team, as they say. I knew Fern from Simi Valley days, which is why I went to see her at her new place in the SFV. The place is clean. Regular, (honorable) people seem to use the place which was a bad sign. I'm not that honorable. The Topanga traffic was drowned out by the music's white noise which made me happy. What I remembered about Fern was her awesome massage with a wonderful ending. But times have changed. After LE swooped into Simi, everything went sideways. Many providers left, and I assume some were caught up in the stings and were forced to leave for who knows where. If you do a search of Simi Valley reviews you'll see they're all legit now. Which brings me to Fern. I thought her move to the SVF might have allowed for the old days to come back. Sadly, no. What has continued is the great massage, sans HE. She's gotten stronger and gained a couple of pounds of muscle. Her bodywork is first rate, which is probably why she's working at a legit establishment. Few HE providers have the skills to make the transition to legit. She's still nice to look at and has always had a great personality, so the hour massage was very therapeutic and fun, but lacked the spark at the end. I may go back if I need a great massage. (Yelp discounts available for $45. Totally worth it for a legit hour.) But I'm still looking for a substitute for Fern who has the skills in all areas and is willing to use them.
