Imagine meeting the expert body magician you need at the precise moment your pain-addled shoulder…read morerequires it. Kathryn's good like that. After a spontaneous chat at a local restaurant, I learned the woman across from me is a 20-plus-year veteran of bodywork. Who has an office four minutes down the road. With exactly one available appointment the very next day. My ailing shoulder screamed in fated anticipation. Roughly 18 hours later, I arrived at her calming, welcoming space in Lakewood. We started with a thorough consultation, where I informed her of previous masseuse attempts to fix my shoulder situation (resulting in multi-day muscle spasms--fun!), and then I settled in for the best massage I've received in a long time. Like I said, body magician. She knows how to find what ails you and ever-so-gently coax it to recover. After an hour of deep Swedish, I sat up feeling at least 70% better in the shoulder and 100% relaxed, soothed and devil-may-care everywhere else. Then, it got better. I woke up to a beautiful blank slate the next morning: no pain anywhere. Kathryn is incredible at what she does, with storied bodywork knowledge, a relaxing bedside manner and the kindest of personalities. Enjoy feeling wonderful, friends!

While the waiting room and massage room were very inviting and even she was very friendly and personable, I couldn't justify rating the overall experience higher than three stars. As every therapist has their own technique and style, I'd encourage you to take advantage of a discounted deal and try it for yourself. Will I be returning? No. No one was in the lobby / front desk area to greet me when I arrived and I was unsure of I should wander around to locate someone or perhaps knock on a random door. My therapist's technique felt sloppy and haphazard. She spent an inordinate amount of time of one side and then rushed to finish the remaining side and lower half of my body. I wondered if she lost track of time, maybe. Her pressure wasn't even and she repeated many strokes almost to a point were it was painful. Her intentions were there as evidenced by her demeanor and approachability, but I've had too many massages in my life to rate this one any higher.

This is a real professional massage place. The shop owner is a trained masseuse. She knows reflexology, deep tissue massage, kneading, etc. And also, if you visit a massage shop, please be generous with tipping because it is such a strenuous work. (Generally speaking, over $20 is recommended) One caveat is that the shop owner's doesn't speak fluent English, so please use tools like google translate when you want her to know your problem : )

That was not the best start to what was supposed to be a relaxing massage. The place was much more rundown and dingy than the photos online suggested. I was also left waiting on the massage table for a while before the treatment began. When the massage finally got underway, the pressure was very light, too light, to be honest. I'm surprised by the five-star reviews here. Overall, it was a mediocre experience for me, and I don't think I'll be returning.

It was an older (cuuute) building, so as another reviewer said, there was a lot of ambient noise when another person came into the office.

The office was full of great products, local tea, etc, and they had a bookshelf full of books like "Birthing From Within." They asked thoughtful questions and tailored the experience to my needs. Amazing massage - Kate did some great muscle work and my "mom shoulders" had all the tension released.
