I had been searching for a good massage therapist for a few years now, ever since a friend of mine…read morewhom I had been going to retired. I had tried several places around town and would pretty much always end up with the same results; I'd feel better for a few hours or maybe a day if I was lucky. The problems seemed consistent no matter where I went. The therapists would always have either too soft of pressure or painfully inconsistent pressure as they struggled through their set list of pre rehearsed strokes. I felt like I had finally given up when a friend of mine called me to ask for a ride home from a massage appointment he was finishing up at. I asked him about the therapist and he had a lot of good things to say about Holly. Skeptic as always, but still very open minded and willing to give it a chance I called and made my first appointment. From the moment I entered the clean, well-kept office I had positive feelings about it. Holly greeted me with her warm smile and an energetic, yet relaxing positive attitude. Right away you could tell she had an enthusiastic passion for her profession and was here because she enjoyed it and not just because it was her job. Much to my surprise after entering the massage room instead of the usual 60 second check list about prior massages/medical history she actually talked in great detail about what I wanted to get out of the session and what kinds of things were causing me trouble and pain and needed to be worked on. Her responses were incredibly intelligent, while not talking over my head or making up facts to sound more impressive, and was able to anticipate a lot of the problems I've been having based solely on my responses to her questions. The massage went great. Her pressure was firm, while not being painful and even better she was always amazingly consistent with it. Every muscle seemed to receive the same amount of pressure. Instead of just rehearsing a series of practiced moves on my back for an hour I felt as if she had tailored the massage specifically to my needs and attacked problems head on instead of simply massaging around until the session timer beeped so she could punch out her time card and go home. It was easy to see after the first session that Holly was a rare find in any profession, but as a massage therapist she truly goes above and beyond to help people who need it. Amazingly, the usual "couple hours of feeling better" had turned into several days. I don't have any serious medical conditions to the point that I severely need the massage, but I do have horrible posture and I've played guitar in a band for years now and over that time the task of wearing a 10 pound Les Paul over my shoulder every day has caused me a lot of shoulder and back pain. I have now been receiving massage from Holly consistently for a little over a month or so and in that time my posture has improved tremendously. I'm able to stand up straighter and my shoulders don't hunch forward nearly as much. I never ever leave a session feeling like she left something behind to work on next time to keep me coming back in. My mother, who had somewhat recently broken her arm and has been having serious tissue damage in her arm and shoulder from the accident, has also been seeing Holly on a regular basis now. She also has nothing but great things to say about her experiences as well and has found major improvement in her arm's mobility since working with Holly. Another issue I've had with other places I've gone to in the past is that many of them almost seem like they're trying to book me for my next seven appointments the moment I walk through the front door for the first. I have never felt like Holly is trying to pull a salesperson-like pitch on me just to get me to come back next time. She is serious about being there to help and not just out to make an extra buck off someone or sell you something extra that you don't need. Whether you're a first timer or experienced massage goer, just needing to relax or in serious need of good therapeutic massage; I seriously cannot recommend Holly enough. Her knowledge, skill and experience as well as her calm, caring and therapeutic demeanor will leave you hooked after your first session.

I don't know how good she is but no one is good enough to disrespect other people' schedule. I find this extremely rude.

I was able to get an appointment with her within the week, and she usually responds quite promptly to texts. Julia's place and her attitude are both no-frills. She asked me in which area I was feeling pain, and took over all the rest. You can tell from the way she treats your body that she knows exactly what she is doing - somehow, she manages to work at the spots that you didn't even know were sore! I love going to Julia because it feels as if I go in with a body that is all twisted and crooked and she slowly straightens every piece of it out. She is absolutely amazing and has a true gift. Julia is also funny, friendly and straightforward, and I feel cared for and better after each visit with her.

Tanya is incredible! She improved my range of motion, and the results have stuck!…read more My body was a mess from my desk job. Hip pain, tightness, mobility issues. Tanya focused on my legs which seemed odd, but said that's how to release the rest of my body. It hurt (deep pressure) but my god it WORKED. Each appointment removed an area of soreness/tightness. I no longer felt my body gripping when I move in certain ways - my body now feels fluid. I think my range of motion improved?? Also the results stick! I space appointments out a few weeks, and the tension doesn't return in between appointments!! (In past massages, the release only lasts a few days.) Highly recommend Tanya. Trust her process. P.S. Her studio is in Salons by JC. The front door is sometimes locked so you have to text her to buzz you in (her cell phone is on the website).

I had never experienced a Thai massage before this, but this was by far the most therapeutic massage session I have ever had. She was able to reduce pain and tension that I have felt in my body for years, and I absolutely cannot wait to go back. I am going to try the Thai therapeutic massage to see which I prefer, but I appreciated that the deep tissue was a full body experience. One thing is for sure, I don't see myself ever booking less than the full two hours because I want to give Tanya plenty of time to work her magic. The care and effort that she puts into her work is undeniable, this is someone who is deeply passionate about healing her clients and I am so happy to have discovered her.

She has a rare gift -- her hands are incredibly skilled and intuitive, finding exactly where the body holds tension and knowing how to release it. I have scoliosis and long-term tightness, and she immediately understood what was happening. She explained each step, released fascia with precision, and even gave me simple at-home tips to keep the progress going. It was true therapeutic bodywork -- yet I left so relaxed I fell asleep as soon as I got home. Professional, kind, and highly experienced, Natassia is a rare find. Book her now before her schedule fills -- I've already booked two months out and have been telling all my friends about her.
