Agreed with other reviews,…read morethis session is like no other; it's multi-disciplinary- part therapy, part Reiki (?) and reflexology and sports massage. It's painful at times, for sure but cathartic in my case. From one session, she was able to give me a sense of clarity, both mental and muscular. I started the session with my left side much tighter than my right, evidenced by my left leg about half an inch shorter. By the end of the session, she worked it out so that they were even. I hope to come back yearly to see her. She's a national treasure!

He has tried everything from corrective surgery and cortisone shots to acupuncture, rolfing, muscle stimulation, and physical therapy, and was understandably skeptical when I booked him a session, but walked out completely pain free! Mary took the time to understand his injury history, frustrations, and goals, was able to identify the underlying sources of and contributors to his pain, and use pressure points to completely alleviate it. I highly recommend Mary for anyone looking for real relief from pain!

Thank you, this was what we wanted while being on vacation!!

The location itself is beautiful and rustic, with a stunning view that sets the tone for a deeply relaxing afternoon. And then--the massage. I honestly don't think I have the words. My husband worked with Michelle, and I had Noel, and both were incredibly knowledgeable, intuitive, and responsive to our individual needs. They checked in thoughtfully, adjusted as needed, and made us feel completely cared for throughout the experience. We will absolutely be back--specifically for Noel and Michelle.

They both ask you which areas to focus on and how much pressure to apply on your body. Classical music and scenic views created a relaxing ambiance. Noel taught me breathing techniques during the massage experience, especially the tight areas in my body, which was very useful. Pro tips: the place is located on the left part of the driveway and looks like a home. Bring cash as this is the only form of payment. Noel texts you prior to the appointment to give you additional details such as directions, confirmation of appointment, and to wear a mask.

I was gifted a 60 minute Swedish massage Groupon and my husband scheduled my appointment with…read moreRandy. Parking was plentiful on a Saturday afternoon and the small location easy to find. Randy did mention that they are moving locations next week, however. Intake form was standard. Randy reviewed the form and asked a few questions before allowing time to get on the table. Small touches to the amenities were very nice, such as hooks for bags, a bin for glasses and keys, hair ties provided should you have forgotten your own, and peppermint oil on the face cradle. Randy managed to work on my noted problem areas while completing a full body Swedish within the 60 minutes. He was not chatty, but checked in a few times which I appreciate. He has a good sense of pressure and corrected for some bilateral imbalance in tension, which many massage therapists do not do. Towards the end, warm towels were used on my back and legs to remove excess oil, and I was given a cloth after to remove any excess massage oil. After getting dressed Randy debriefed me on aligning my hip and gave some recommendations about switching sides while carrying my son to avoid imbalance. Overall I was very happy with the experience and would return. Massage is not something I often make time for, but the experience was both relaxing and physically therapeutic here. Well worth the time and expense. I would definitely recommend trying this place out. The only unfortunate part was that my husband was also given a Groupon and was told he could not use it because they moved locations. He had to have his sister call Groupon to reimburse.

The full-body massage was deeply relaxing and worked out tension I didn't even realize I was holding. The hot oil hair treatment felt like heaven.

I could feel it working out the puffiness and tension in my face, and I honestly looked more refreshed walking out than I did walking in. I left the session feeling lighter, clearer, and incredibly grounded. If you're looking for a full reset of body, mind, and spirit, this is the one. I can't recommend it enough.
