Be Healthy Massage at 61 Orange Avenue in Mildura is a straightforward local shop, formerly known among regulars as Angel's, with results here depending heavily on which therapist happens to be on that day.
Communication and customer interaction

- Being upfront about wanting something extra isn't always welcome everywhere in town, so it pays to feel out each shop rather than assume they all operate the same way.
- Extras are typically raised on the flip rather than at the counter.

- More than one therapist can be in the room at once, with a four-hand massage happening unprompted on at least one visit.
