I found an online deal for Anna while planning a short trip to Asheville. She had good reviews on…read morethe site where I found her so emailed her to ask about availability for the time my friend and I were in town. She responded promptly and was kind and helpful. On the day of the massage, we were running a few minutes late with our travels. I texted and told her. She was very understanding and was waiting patiently when I walked in. She was attentive, listened to my needs, and asked the important questions. She provided aromatherapy at no extra charge. Her touch was very nurturing and intuitive. I could tell she cared. I was able to completely relax and trust that I was literally in good hands. The music volume was great... it was very quietly playing in the background. The building and her room are also very quiet - great space for massage therapy. Anna herself was also very quiet... she didn't talk during my time of relaxation, and she even moved around the room quietly. Her massage room is simple and attractive with good use of color. She also has a table warmer so that was a nice touch for people like me who run cold even when it's 75 degrees out. Anna just gave me the space to unwind... no judgment, just a benevolent presence who truly cared about my wellbeing for the time we were together. I will also add that I'm a massage therapist myself. Highly recommend.

Without a doubt the best massage I have ever had. Ishvara used the right amount of pressure to get my lower back right. She was professional and polite and gave a great massage.

Dan and Mariana Watson bring their considerable combined training and experience to the table to…read moredeliver a unique and luxurious therapeutic experience. I was gifted a session with them by a friend who was intrigued by the idea of a four-handed massage. At first I was a bit distracted trying to track whose hands were doing what, but I gave that up soon enough and surrendered to the duet. These two are well attuned, so that even when working asynchronously--e.g. one doing trigger points on my neck/shoulders, the other, Swedish on my legs--their energies blend. The quality of their individual and combined touch is informed by caring, intuitive knowing, and skill. Which meant I could relax. As an energy-sensitive former bodywork practitioner, quality of touch is my sine qua non. Bonus #1: Dan and Mariana work from their beautiful home in a wooded cul-de-sac. Their beautifully appointed healing room is the most spacious I've ever seen, and their table has all the comforts--including double-thick upholstery on the face cradle so that one's cheek or brow isn't pressing painfully into the wooden base. I had a hard time peeling myself off that 20- square-foot piece of heaven at the end. Bonus #2: They take the time beforehand to interview their clients about health issues, touch preferences, expectations, and goals for the session. Afterwards, they took additional time with me to talk about their evolution over the years as students of the healing arts. Finally, some days later they followed up with a warm email of appreciation, making additional health-related suggestions and attaching several pages of illustrated trigger point work I could practice at home. Wow. Talk about going the extra mile. So yes, I highly recommend The Massage Duo. In fact, I'm gifting a session back to the friend who gifted me.

I have been receiving massage for over 45 years and I feel that Mariana was definitley one of the…read morebest therapists I have ever experienced. She was accurate with her finding the tight spots and massaging them out. Many massage people just do the standard and slide over the tissue, but Mariana really worked to get the tissue to relax. My neck and body felt so much better afterwards, and I slept really well that night. It was both therapeutic and relaxing. I highly recommend her without hesitation. Truly gifted and I am thankful I found her. She also took the time to followed up with a great email that addressed some things I could do on my own and things that would benefit me. Very caring and generous.

If you've read any of my reviews, you may notice that I'm a sucker for massages…read more Yes, I've given each and every one of my masseuses a 5 star review. But this time I REALLY mean it. No, but seriously, with the magnitude and amount of massage service providers in the greater Asheville area, many of whom offer Groupons and the what not, it should serve as a reference that I am willing to drive nearly an hour to have a massage from Lynelle at Synergistic Bodywork & Massage. I mean, DAMN! Someone told my wife about Lynelle, and after her massage she came home raving about how incredible, how amazing, how enrapturing the whole experience was. A few weeks later when my body shut down with a nearly crippling tension in my neck and elbows, she booked me a massage with Lynelle. I protested! "But I can see one of my other favorite masseuses here, and they're only a 5 minute drive away! Just let me buy a Groupon!" She insisted, and I relinquished. I'm thrilled that I did. Lynelle sat and spoke with me about my needs, my habits, my life. Next we progressed to the massaging. This trip was very much focused on my neck, and after much work, the muscles that were once seized became limber and fluid again. I was saved. Since my initial visit with Lynelle I have made the pilgrimage to Synergistic Bodywork & Massage multiple times. Each time has been better than the last. It's quite clear that she is getting familiar with my body, and working out troubled areas so that they no longer vex me in any manner. All I can say is the work here is worth every penny, and every extra minute it takes to come here. I am lucky to have found her.

I am a hair stylist so my arms and back tend to have a lot of pain, I have some carpal tunnel as well. I've gotten a lot of different massages over the years working in spas etc and it was a very relaxing experience but it would always temporarily heal my knots or pain ect. I do see a chiropractor so I know that this is a long term thing I have to fix but my experience with Erin at haw ridge has just completely blown Me away. Not only is she sweet as pie and made me so comfortable but she's extremely talented she made me feel very relaxed and comfortable during my massage and during consultation but the work that she did was not just relaxing but specialized and unlike my other times with massage. I had cupping done and myofascial release plus swedish massage. I left there feeling like butter, feeling amazing emotionally and physically and because of the specialized work that I had done my entire next week or two at work I did not feel the pain like I'm used too. It really changed my experience in massage for me. I highly recommend erin I will be back to see her now on a regular basis this is not something that I'm used to but when you know you know! go see erin at Hawk Ridge therapeutic !
