For those who are thinking of engaging Naini for the post natal massage - think again!
She's absolutely crap and totally not worth the exorbitant rates she charges. I totally agree with the feedback given by Passing Guest on her post in 2005. And to think that she was actually that crap since 2005! Since she was recommended by a friend - I didnt bother checking out the forum for reviews before engaging her. Big mistake!
As for those who thinks Naini must be good just cos a mediacorp artist engager her before - did you actually verify when the said artist used her services? As far as I know and from Naini's own admission - it is only once ie after delivery of her 1st child.

Ya.. mdm katijah..
Pls think many times before you want to engage her service..
Late, always change appt, always talk on the phone which makes the massage very disruptive, and yes, always talk about family problems.
For some reasons when i wanted to terminate her service, it took me really VERY long to get back the balance of my money with lots of excuses. And i've already agreed to pay a penalty fee for early termination.
Once, made me waited for her to collect the money then when she didn't come, gave reasons got client last minute change appt so she didn't come. Then she should have the courtesy to call & inform me right? She even quarrel with me it's not her fault that she has to go there!!!
Very tedious to get back my money. Pay in many instalments, agree to pay on this day then didn't.. Agree to transfer then didn't. Say no money, dont't know how to transfer, daughter will scold her if she transfer $ to me.. etc.. In the end i got the last payment thru a bank transfer. Then call me and ya ya say she has transfer $ to me !! I slamed down the phone!!
Ok, the more i think of her, the more i poo huei..
Just to share, Auntie Khatijah (as mentioned previously in this thread) did prenatal massage for me and my postnatal.
i personally find her good. even recommend her to my fren who jus delivered this yr May.
my fren enjoyed auntie khatijah's service so much tt she extended her package.
i tink 1 thing we must all understand is tt her work is 'freelance', it's normal to hv changes in appt, etc. even when i give tuition, i also need to entertain requests for change in timing and such. and sometimes i need to reschedule other students to accomodate. i tink we need to give her some understanding when she change appt with us. if u hv something on n cant wait, jus inform her and work something out, dunnid to get upset over it
actualli i tink she has e 'worst' job ever dealing with mummies in confinement. cos hormonal changes very great, some of us might be quite 'mean' and 'nasty' with our words/attitude also. she gotta deal with this everyday!
i tink if we step back and tink of her situation, u'll understand her better
btw, i dun like ppl talking during my massage, so i did tell her and she din tok to me much

I think majority of the ML are like that..they don't finish on the dot..some will eat 5-15mins..very seldom you see exactly at 1hr or 1hr 30mins type. Maybe have but very rare.
I tried pre-natal massage through some recommendation in the forum and I must say they don't finish exactly as they promise.
One case worst, her service was supposed to be 1hr 30mins but she finished in 45mins and have the cheek to tell me, ok finish. I was like "har? Your service 1hr 30mins right?" She said yes then I told her but you started at 7pm and now its only 745pm? And she will say oh...ok...she will re-start the whole cycle again..but yet she still finish less than 1hr 30mins.
I told myself that's it lor...no matter how much she boast she can help me slim down within few days for post natal, i won't be getting her anymore.

Hi, I just completed my 5 days with Zaria. She is excellent, passionate about her work and very details. Also don't mind giving extra time, as she wants to 'correct' the position of my body/joints.
She also shared a bit on herbs and gave an extra session of yoga to teach me how to correct my problem area.
I would recommend her. PM me if you want her contacts.

Hi Loves,
does Mdm Khatijah do normal massage? I am keen to try someone else for massage. I used a Mdm Lathifa previously and it was good but just want to try and compare. Do you have her contact?
THanks.

I think you are abit harsh. I have used origins and the ML that the Rebecca (the biz contact) was pretty kind and had good advice. My massage lady,Her name is Mdm Lathifa and another forum member has posted good comments about her. Same thing, Mdm Lathifa, was telling me that I was too stressed and should relax during my confinement and Maternity and that me being stressed made my body stiffen up so it was harder for her to help me. And she helped me to get rid of my blocked ducts in my breast and it helped me to breast feed better. She did not push me to buy anything, we talked about common interests like appreciation for teas and stuff and I enjoyed my sessions with her throughly. I even asked her for her contact if I wish to continue with normal massage with her after and she charges about 45-45 per hour session and she works on Sun too.
Alot of these ML are free lancers as well, there are some black sheep amongst them as well but do not forget about the good ones. When Mdm Lathifa was honest with me about my body being stiff, I knew she was good. I have a background in muscle, strength and body anatomy, I have a fitness and spa background(she didn't know). And I already knew she would have problems but she still told me nonetheless so she was just being honest and giving good advice
I also surfed many websites before deciding. These good ML may charge cheaper but that does not mean that they are no good. Like Origins was just someone who was pooling her knowledge on these ML and helping busy mummies like us have a one-stop location to get confinement massage w/o the high costs. Like the biz owner was a SAHM who was doing home based business.
I am not from any of these places but also sharing my 2cents worth.
By the way, Mdm Lathifa's contact is 90622189 and she is good.. Very knowledge and also open-minded. You don't have to worry about someone who has many opinions and nothing useful to share.

Oh yea, i heard from Mdm Lathifa about being late was cos, they sometimes meet mommies who have to take care of babies on their own and when they go to their houses for PN massage they could be breast feeding so they can't possibly interrupt. Or sometimes babies might cry while you are having massage and want cuddling. They cannot tell these mommies to ignore and don't bother right. They will allow the baby to be next to you during the massage and I can't say the same for others though. My ML told me I could, but I told her I rather not la.So I always made sure I had someone to take care of my bb while I do my massage.

No doubt I may sound harsh. Go surf other forum yourself and you will understand. Not only me who think this is so, many others too...
I may be wrong, but I said I "find it fishy" but I did not say I confirm...
Hope you get things right... Thanks...
mich, i noe wot u mean. i saw the same thing at other forum which i find suspicious. very good comments within short span and if u notice carefully, mostly new members who barely posted anything else in the whole forum. would u register a nick in a forum jus to say how good ur massage lady is without participating in other topics in a motherhood forum when u got a baby???
we r not judging whether the massage lady realli good in her skills or not. but when u resort to such 'marketing' techniques, consumers will be wary and it'll result in alot of unnecesary 'negative vibes' about the massage lady.
for me i'll choose to trust my fren's recommendations. and i'll also trust 'regular' forum member's recommendations (those who often chat in other topics, share their experiences)

hi, is Rosita strong?
I prefer the firm massage kind, cuz the soft soft kind, not sure anything working or not. hahaha

I tried 3 MLs recommended in the forum for my prenatal until i use this one.
Her charge is $60 for 1.30hrs. The other 2 though they are slightly cheaper, they always cheat my time which I don't like.
This one I am using, her stroke is firm and strong and I really enjoy like normal massages...
