My update has a lot packed in here. First of all, I have been to many well reviewed massage…read morestudios from the North, way out in the West end, eat side past Olde Towne Beverly, and all over South Side Edmonton. I've only met one other therapist in Edmonton who comes close to Jel and her therapist teams. She trains them fresh from their receiving their ticket as RMTs, tears down their fresh out of school mindsets, with all of their inexperience and bad habits, and teaches them how to properly help her clients, with her level of customer service, her efficiency, her techniques, her sales, her overall attitude, better and more effective skills... She molds them into very effective RMTs she can trust, which is saying a lot about them as RMTs of they have get approval. There are top notch.
Take that into account when you book, her therapists are mini versions of her. Jel is the myth, the legend, the one I trust 100% with my awful bulged discs, sore shoulders, neck cramps, ruptured achilles, my left leg atrophy, the list goes on, so book here with confidence.
Be up front with what you need, don't be afraid to request more pressure or less, chatty or quiet, scented oils or no. Some times she will advise you that 'you may need to put up with some discomfort while I get this [medical Latin muscle name gobbledygook] to release, and here's why...' I trust her not to leave me in pain or unable to move. I've been to several places where medium pressure left me bruised and unable to sit back in a chair for a couple days. I've been to a place that tried to manipulate my lower back when I went in to treat severe back spasms, which gave me more back spasms on the table screaming in pain, I've had therapists barely touch me, leaving me oily, still store and $100 poorer. I've been to some good places that are just too hard to get in unless you book several months in advance, or who stopped taking new patients. Soul 2 sole won't leave you stuck, if they are booking months ahead Jel pays attention and looks at taking on more staff to cover the demand, you know like a business is supposed to do.
She has a second location downtown with a steam room, I haven't been yet but plan to visit soon. South side location is ready to get to, free parking and word has or they are going to look at offering massage technique classes at this location as well! I'm all over that, I'll be there on opening day.
Book here with peace of mind. Call if you're in a bind, so to speak, snd they will not turn you away if you're suffering, they will do what they can to help.
Go here, you don't need to go anywhere else, and if you have this covered by your insurance you're wasting the dollars every year! It makes your whole life so much better when you're not cringing at shoulder, neck and back pain (and legs, arms, hands, feet). Worth every-single-penny spent here.
Also, I absolutely love the end of the massage when Jel gives me tea and a couple candies to send me out into the world feeling like a million bucks. Love you Jel, you and your team are phenomenal at what you do, you're a great business person with a brilliant mind, excellent sense of style, perfect customer service skills, very high standards and you always have your eye on the big picture, looking forward to your next step. You will have great success and many satisfied customers talking about you for years to come.
