Wanted to update that over the last few years as Alison has done deep spiritual growth her massage has grown with her. The travels and experiences have increased her knowledge and depth. Can't wait to see her again! read more

I would definitely recommend either of these two practitioners. I was in the area for extended work so I was able to have massages from both. This will be my place to go when I return. read more

I've been seeing Alison regularly for six months now. Her presence is grounding, she always listens to my needs and tailors the work to what's going on in the present moment. She's a gifted therapist and I highly recommend her. read more

Michael is wonderful! He is a body healer! My back and neck pain is almost completely gone! I am hoping to continue! Very wise insightful healer. read more

Allison and Michael are both amazing! I look forward to my twice monthly massages, as Allison knows exactly how to undo all the knots and stress I build up between seasions. She uses a wonderful mix of modalities (myofascial release, deep tissue, Thai massage) to target all the problem areas we discuss in our 10-15 minute pre-massage conversation. The best self care ever! read more

I just love Alison. Her energy is supportive of rest and restoration, and her healing massage takes that even deeper. She has offered very targeted type massage and overall relaxing massage. I continue to book 90min and 2hr sessions and am so grateful to find her. My husband now sees her too! read more

I had my first massage with Michael and I will definitely be going back. Not only is he a SUPERB massage therapist but he is a wonderful, intelligent person. His kind presence and caring attention to my physical needs was so refreshing. As he moved along my body I felt a profound sense of overall relaxation and peace. I have scoliosis and my spine looked and felt much better after the massage, as did my overall sense of wellbeing. Towards the end he utililized some crancial sacral therapy on my neck and head and it brought tears to my eyes. I will also be going back for more cranial sacral work. I would highly recommend Michael. read more

Alison is an incredible massage therapist! I'll be back ! I used to be a massage therapist so I know what I'm talking about.

Alison is an exceptionally intuitive body worker. She employs several modalities to address the needs of her clients, whether it be relaxation/rejuvenation or healing a specific injury. I find Alison to be very professional and conscientious, and often leave with a tidbit of spiritual wisdom to contemplate in addition to feeling generally refreshed. read more

What a wonderful experience! I live in Los Angeles, and spent years trying to find great massage therapist to help alleviate the painful tightness that exists in my lower back, legs, and hips. I finally found my go-to person in LA about a year ago, but because finding that person was so difficult, I am usually pretty skeptical about trying new people, especially when I'm out of town. I was SO pleasantly surprised by my visit to Heart Waters Massage. The massage that I got from Alison was definitely in my top three, if not my best ever. I left feeling like I got the best of both worlds - a relaxing massage, but also one that worked out my tight spots. That's hard to do. Alison spent significant time listening to my "wish-list" before we got started, and then executed the massage in a way that was even better than what I had requested. She is not only knowledgeable about body work, but also has this magical calmness that, in and of itself, prompts relaxation. I wish I were staying in Ashland for a longer period of time so that I could visit again. I will certainly be back for another massage next time I am in town. Thank you, Alison! read more

This February I met Allison for the first time and my experience with her was incredible. I have had many massages so far, but hers was the best. Allison presence and the way she listened to what I told her I needed and hat my goal was - and the way she also listened intuitively to what my body's needs were - and then put all that together in a soothing, calming, refreshing and rejuvenating 90min session, was amazing! Her gentle and slow movements were the exact speed in which my inside moves. And after 90min I wished I had booked a 120min session. I live in CA so I don't have the ability to see Allison as often as I would like and if I could, I would give myself the treat of her gifted essence every two weeks! I can highly recommend her for anyone looking for a deeply nourishing, soulful & heartfelt massage experience. read more

Phenomenal massage experience from Allison. It was everything I could hope for, and more. I felt incredibly relaxed though the entire massage, and am looking forward to my next one. Thanks you so much! read more

I normally don't give 5 stars on Yelp but Alison's Thai massages are the best I have had in 30 years of many styles of massage including Thai. Alison is a wonderfully highly sensitive person, and this is bestowed into her special touch. Her stretches are very slow, thoughtful and intuitive, deeply relaxing in a similar rhythm of the earth. I had a knee injury that she worked on that no one else stretched so expertly. I am referring my husband who had a mid-brain stroke, knowing that she will be able to handle the paralysis and prickles in his body. Thank you for your service to Ashland, Allison! read more

I recently made an appointment for last week with Allison for Friday morning. I received a text the day before from her that claimed she was not in town and had to cancel. I then heard back the following week asking if I wanted to reschedule. I said yes, she asked if Friday at 11 AM was fine, I said sure. She had mentioned that she is not taking clients in the building but rather now house calls or we come to her. I had texted over three times trying to verify where I am going, and she assured me she would let me know. This morning was supposed to be my appointment, I canceled other engagements for her appointment, not only did she not let me know where I was supposed to go, she never texted or contacted me at all. A half hour after my appointment what's supposed to happen, I texted her, and yet to have an apology for basically just standing me up and wasting two weeks where I could've made an appointment with somebody else. I have never seen such unprofessionalism Like this. This was just outrageously rude! I would never in 1 million years recommend this facility. read more

Allison is wonderful. She listened to my requests and provided just what I needed. She did not have her own agenda. I needed special attention to my thighs and back following mountain bike adventures. Allison delivered a firm but bearable pressure level. I was lucky to book her the day of our session. If you need therapeutic recovery I strongly recommend Heart Waters and Allison. read more

Wonderful! So much better and more thorough than a spa massage. Anna targeted all of the tough and tender points. The building was easy to find, and her web page has spot on directions for parking and entering the building. The waiting room is quiet and bright. There was a glass of water and a health form waiting for me when I arrived. I booked my next appointment before I left. read more

I've had two Alison massages and I can't say enough wonderful things about her. She's extremely calm and nurturing. The space is nice. She listens carefully to both to verbal and nonverbal information. It's truly a blessing to have her in Ashland. read more

Alison does great work! She has a very gentle touch, yet goes deep. I was able to release such tension with such little pressure. She really knows the body. She has a lovely energy and provides a beautiful safe place to work in. Due to the space that she holds I really could let the tension and the pent up emotions go. She truly listens to the body an moves a lot of energy. It was a great experience and I will definitely be going back. Thank you Alison. read more

Alison is a wonderful bodyworker. She is a warm and caring person who brings a gentle presence to her work. Her massages are deep and slow so my nervous system really gets to relax and let go. I have received massages from her for the past 4 years or so and I love them more and more. Plus the space is very inviting and relaxing, and the price is very reasonable. read more

I've seen Alison at Heart Waters several times now. She is really great. I've had massages from many different providers over the years and I'd put her skills and the overall experience right up at the top. I recently had a two hour massage session which was awesome. I was just immediately relaxed and had a sense of trust and safety throughout the session. Alison really paid attention to my neck area which had really been bothering me and I felt so much better afterwards. I'm definitely going go see her again. read more

What gift Allison is!! I am beyond grateful as a practitioner myself to have such a wonderful Massage Therapist! Allison truly knows how to help you when you are in pain all the while making it a nurturing experience!! read more

I am a massage therapist myself and can surely say Anna is very skilled with her hands and techniques as well as being super nurturing. I recommend the full 90 minutes. Being very stressed out from moving when i walked in, I left feeling rejuvenated and clear, and like my body and energy was completely attended to. read more

I'm a happy camper. Best massage I've had. Allison was gentle and strong, perceptive, and completely present. I recommend that you breathe and relax and let her do what she does best and go for the longer massage! read more

I had a great experience at Heart Waters Massage and recommend highly. Anna is a gifted Massage Therapist and is very mindful of your reasons for coming and takes extreme care to focus on areas you point out. I walked out a new person. She is very strong yet delicate. Best massage in Ashland! read more

I'm so fond of Heart Waters Massage! Anna is truly skilled in her work and easily pinpoints areas of need with perfect pressure and therapeutic touch. She is very present, focused, and professional. The best massages I've ever had...a beautiful and calming environment...and very healing hands. Thank you Anna. read more

I can't recommend Anna Duval and Heart Waters Massage enough. The environment is lovely and relaxing, and every moment from start to finish was rejuvenating. Anna's attention to detail and concern for her client's comfort and preferences is pronounced and very affirming. I drove from a neighboring town for my session and will have no qualms about making the trip again in the future. read more

My dearest friend gifted me with my first massage with Anna, at Heart Waters Massage. Anna has put intention into every aspect of her space, and does the same with her massage. I used to work at Ten Thousand Waves Spa in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and can say, from experience, Anna is a highly professional, deeply skilled, naturally gift massage therapist. Her sincere presence is a gift and creates an environment conducive to the deepest levels of relaxation. I look forward to recommending her to others, and to receiving massage from her again in the future. read more

I have received many, many massages, but Allison is truly the best! what I love the most about her is that she genuinely cares. She devotes herself to provide you with the very best massage she can bless you with, this is how I felt when I received her massages sessions, the hot stone is my favorite. I would highly recommend her all day long! Allison, you are a blessing in this world! read more

Back again, had a break as travelling. Had forgotten how great this women is. ironed out some serious kinks. what a great masseuse. Highly recommend for relaxation or to fix problems. read more

I recently had two massages back-to-back by Alison at Heart Waters Massage-- mind blown! I can easily place Alison in the top five massage therapists I've had the blessing and pleasure of working with. Truly, she is one of kind. She is strong, but her strength is accompanied by and tethered to a deeply felt connection to and empathy with your body. Her ability to intuit what is needed is top-notch, and her willingness and desire to communicate throughout the process about how you're doing and what's needed is exceptional. I came in with a badly swollen ankle and she did magic on it. As a bonus, she helped relieve every other little bit of tension throughout my back and shoulders as well. She even cupped me, which, if you never had the opportunity to experience, you should absolutely get on. To top it off, she is genuinely a beautiful person, whose relaxed, loving presence simply radiates. She is a joy just to be around. I highly, highly recommend her. read more

Finding a good fit for a massage therapist is a very personal thing. I had been a very satisfied client of Anna at Heart Waters Massage. Recently, Alison Miller took over Anna's practice. I had the pleasure of experiencing a massage with Alison and have to say, I'm VERY IMPRESSED! Alison is an insightful, therapeutic, skilled therapist. I left feeling flexible, relaxed and completely pain free. Alison has a gentle professional demeanor, and magic hands. She intuitively knew where to apply more pressure, and which areas benefited from a lighter touch. I really can't recommend her enough. read more

If you've read through Alison's reviews, you'll have a very good idea of what to expect in a regular massage. All of those qualities talked about are also present in her Thai massages. In addition to the intuitive and relaxing pressure work, her Thai massages maneuver the body into simple yoga-like poses for some delightful stretching. Those tight muscles disappear and the result is much greater flexibility and mobility. Thai massage is done fully clothed on floor mats so wear clothing which your body can move in freely. Each pose is gently and sensitively done as she stays in tune with what your muscles need. You don't want to miss trying a Thai massage. read more

A lovely addition to my trip to Ashland. I drove to Ashland from California last week. I knew my back would be in knots after the drive so I called ahead and booked an appointment with Anna. It was just the ticket. The place is easy to find - about a mile from downtown, the price was totally fair (and better than the Bay Area where I am) and the 90 minute massage was relaxing, spot on and quite helpful. Anna herself was nice to be around, inquired about the pressure and adjusted based on my comments and wasn't a chatty person - all what I needed. Thank you Anna for helping the rest of my trip be better. read more

Anna is gentle and sweet, naturally nurturing and sensitive. Her space is lovely and calming. A real treat to get a massage from her! Very glad I found her. read more

I scheduled a massage with Anna during my yearly visit to Ashland. The massage was fantastic. The massage room was relaxing and extremely comfortable. I'm a deep tissue massage fan and Anna was expert in working out the tension in my neck, shoulders and feet. My only regret is that I don't live in Ashland and won't be able to reschedule until next year. read more
