Julie is amazing. I just got home from my massage and I already want to go back…read more I called Julie to book a next-day appointment, and she was very accommodating and quick to respond. To be honest, I was drawn to the $20 discount that's offered when booking online. Even though I didn't book online, Julie was kind enough to honor the deal. A regular 1-hour massage is $80, so the discount brings the price down to a very reasonable $60. Credit card is taken, but cash is preferred. Julie has managed to create a very relaxing environment in a small and humble space. The place doesn't look like much when you first walk in, but the massage rooms are well-kept. There is a small, partitioned area where you can change, which thoughtfully has a hanger, hair ties, and even some candy. As for the massage itself, it was perfect. Julie used the exact amount of pressure to loosen my knots without putting me in intense pain. I asked her to focus on a few specific areas and she definitely followed through. She was careful to always make sure that the pressure was ok and that I was comfortable. I especially loved the scalp massage! Some additional perks: FREE aromatherapy and hot stones! For aromatherapy, you can choose from scents that include lavender, eucalyptus, jasmine, lemongrass, and more. Julie then mixes the essential oil into your massage cream. Overall, I had a great experience here. Julie is kind and skilled and the price is right. I'll definitely be coming back.

I explained to her that I have scoliosis and she knew exactly what areas to concentrate on without me having to tell or show her - not only that but she is STRONG for sure - this is the type of treatment that works on my body and may not work for others. As a client, I always voice when something is too deep to the point of pain but therapists do not know our threshold - it's important to be communicative during treatment. Some areas I couldn't tolerate so Annie moved on but in the areas that deep pressure was required - she spent more time on. Also - don't let the exterior fool you! The massage parlor is in an area that felt a little sketchy to me but as soon as I opened the doors, I was comfortable and super excited for the thai massage experience. Slept like a baby after the treatment and will definitely be back

She gave me helpful tips on how to make the most of the massage as well. Excellent work Colleen. My wife will be reaching out and see you in April for our next session!

Kept reminding me to breathe-take deep breaths (why do we hold our breath sometimes during a massage? lol). Her studio room is so peaceful, lovely, smells great, is uber clean and very zen. Peaceful music playing. She has very strong but gentle hands if that makes sense. She was able to get all the kinks out and also stretched me at the end. I felt so relaxed afterwards.

The session started with a brief consulting session for you to circle your pain areas, followed by selecting your preferred aromatherapy. The message started with softer touches and full relaxations. Once knots have been identified, you will start feeling firmer presses. Very gentle cupping will be used (after your consent) if very stiff areas identified. Even though the goal was getting knots out of the way, the entire session was very relaxing, and of course a good night's sleep.

She has an exceptional understanding of the body and energy flow, creating a session that is not only rejuvenating but also deeply healing. Her ability to help release stored energy and foster a sense of balance is nothing short of amazing. After each session, I leave feeling lighter, more centered, and completely refreshed. If you're looking for more than just a massage--a truly transformative experience--I wholeheartedly recommend Laura.

Laura Williams is competent, dedicated, knowledgeable, attentive and kind…read more I came to Laura in January, 2024, principally to work on lingering pain in both my right and left lumbar area; the right one being an old problem and the left one quite sharp and very new. The left one was the remnant of a slipped disk that created an uncomfortable amount of burning pain for several long months in the left leg and leaving the muscles atrophied and weak. Since the right lumbar almost always hurt in one way or another and my neck was always and repeatedly stiff, I finally decided to go looking again for a therapist. I contacted a number of therapists, but Laura's response was so simple, direct and pleasant, I decided to try her services. Good Choice In the first session the sharp residual pain in the left lumbar was gone within days and by the third session I realized I had made the right choice. Laura has an uncanny energy and a clear ability to connect to the human organism, allowing her to perceive and understand its needs, quibbles, defects and problems; no doubt supported by her manifestly impressive knowledge of the musculoskeletal anatomy. She has a light touch, but also a powerful force where needed--and I have certainly often needed her energy and her force. Because I complained about a unhealthy level of prolonged stress developed over the last five dreadful years, she also began a sensitive and effective method to moderate this stress; quieting my organism and better preparing me to deal with, construct and tear down, what has yet been left undone.
