I will gladly be the first person to review Deborah of Deborah McGarry Massage Therapy. In one…read moreword: Amazing. I have chronic neck and back pain so my doctor recommended monthly deep-tissue massages to help ease the pain. I found Deborah though my neighborhood association's website. Her office is in Oakhurst, walking distance to me! I decided to give her a call. I cannot tell you how happy I am to have found her. She is amazing. So far, she is the only person who has been able to find the exact spot in my back that pains me on a daily basis. She knows how to release the pain and always uses the right amount of pressure (I like it really deep!). Deborah seriously knows her stuff. Also, because she is a one-woman show, she gets to know you on a personal level and remembers your issues. I've been to places where I feel like just another random client. I'd recommend her to all my friends!

I have had my fair share of massages over the years, relentlessly searching for the perfect massage…read moretherapist. I mistakenly tried the "high end" places where you pay for ambiance, rather than a skilled therapist. I tried some on the opposite "no frills" end that left me desiring a more welcoming, calming space. Then, I found the perfect in between - Teresa Wiles. Very skilled, with a perfectly decorated, calming space complete with soothing music and aromatherapy. I had never gone back to a practitioner more than once, until Teresa. I started seeing her on a regular basis beginning a few years ago. First, the medical part - I had been having shooting pains, and occasional numbness in my right arm for months. I went to an orthopedist and a neurologist - neither could find anything. I then went to my regular doctor who told me the issues were due to an enormous knot in my shoulder. She told me I needed deep tissue massages to alleviate it, which would then alleviate my arm issues. I didn't really believe her that the answer could be something so simple, but used it to justify getting regular deep tissue massages and continuing my search into finding the perfect massage therapist. I explained all this to Teresa when we first met, and she knew exactly what to do. I must say, after the first few sessions, the pains were gone. No more numbness. Now, the general awesome massage part - Teresa is great. She spends a few minutes before each massage to go over what I need, and plans my massage accordingly. She can read my body well. She incorporates so many things - bamboo, ashiatsu, lomi lomi, etc. The woman even does cupping! I haven't found another massage therapist that does. Teresa is also just a sweet, down to earth woman with a calming presence. She goes above and beyond to meet your needs. One time, I even called her on her day off. I was a few hours away from going to the airport for over 11 hours of international travel and my shoulders were killing me - I was dreading flying in this discomfort. Teresa came in on her day off BEFORE 8 AM to fix me! You can't really ask for someone more dedicated.

I was in the market for a masseuse that specialized in Ashiatsu massage therapy, and I chose Teresa…read morebeing very glad that I did! Today I had my very first massage with her, as well as my very first Ashiatsu massage, and I left there feeling absolutely wonderful! I have a stressful job, and my neck, shoulders and back usually stay pretty tense and knotted up. I was impressed with Teresa'a ability to immediately find all of my stress areas and knotted up muscle tissue. Teresa is a very skilled massage therapist, and worked wonders for me today! Not only was I very impressed with her superb massage therapy abilities, but I also found her caring nature, knowledge and thoroughness very impressive. Lastly, although Teresa is super friendly, after the initial introduction, going over the paperwork, and her explaining what was to expect in the session, she didn't really talk that much. I've had a massage therapist before that was really personable, and liked to talk a lot, which sometimes doesn't allow you to truly absorb and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere while being massaged. While Teresa was massaging me, I was able to enjoy the techniques she used, totally soak in the soft music, relaxing environment, and a clean comfortable surroundings. I highly recommend Teresa, and will be going to her on a regular basis. Thank you Teresa for a wonder much needed massage therapy session, and providing me with an awesome first the Ashiatsu message experience! Tim

I been getting massages since my early 20s and from across the world, and wow, this has been…read moreprobably the most impressive massage I have ever had (tied with my hometown therapist in Brooklyn). After a week of hard skiing, and getting ready for mountaineering trips, I needed someone to really prep my body for life, and Elyse was a godsend. Very rarely do I find someone with the combination of strength and body awareness to really give me the deep pressure and the right bodywork. Basically, I felt like a brand new person after walking out. Real talk - I might actually visit my sister in Atlanta more just so I can come back for an awesome massage. If you are do a lot of physical activity, and need recovery, Elyse is your answer that you been waiting for!

I booked the "first time customer" special online, which was $85 for an hour massage. To me, that's…read moredecently reasonable, but definitely on the high end. The regular prices are way too high for me. But I figured I would give it a try because it's right by my home. It was my mistake that I arrived a couple minutes late, but I did have a bit of trouble finding the space. When I got there, it looked to be closed. I called the number on my confirmation email twice and got no answer. I was about to leave when Elise walked up and greeted me. She did give me a full hour of massaging anyway, so no complaints there. I definitely should have arrived at least 5 minutes early, though! About the massage. The website indicated that deep tissue would cost more, but it was plenty "deep" and rough, as is. Elise did, of course, ask me to let her know if it was ever too much, but I don't like to give alot of critique during massages; I like to let them do their thing as much as possible. But I did have to speak up when it felt like she was repeatedly kneading a softball into my neck!! Some people may love massages like that, but it was honestly far too painful for me. She had some moves where it felt like I was being choked and when she kneading into my scalp, I was wincing in pain. I get that I'm tight and she was just trying to loosen it, but it was just way, way too much pressure! And I am usually one to love deep tissue massages!! When I had no choice but to say that it was too much, she came completely off of my neck instead of just going lighter, which is what I was afraid would happen. Another thing that didn't really jive with me was how much heat and oils she used. I don't really need all that stuff; I'd rather the focus be more on the massage, itself. I was relieved when she finally removed a pile of heating pads that she had stacked onto my back! Even though most of it was not my thing, I think Elise is very nice and caring and talented at what she does! It's also a really nice, private setting. And lots of people will appreciate how strong she is! And yes, I could have taken the time to keep telling her it was too much, but again, I don't like to interfere too much with the therapist's flow.

Before the session begins, they are sure to take their time and make sure you, fully, understand the experience. From beginning to end, a safe and comfortable environment is maintained at all times.

She understands your skeptism and welcomes it because beyond the actual practice she talks you through everything she is doing, She makes the atmosphere condusive to allowing a healing process to take place with a soothing background music and nice aromic oils and candles. She doesn't push you, she talks to you. You always feel like you are in good hands. I have also had the pleasure of going through a yoga class with her and again she uses the same philosophy there. You feel like she really wants you to get everyhting out of the experience but she never pushes, just guides. Ultimately you get the general feeling she gives a crap about you and your well being, instead of just sanctifying the purity of the process. Literally I have been to some Hilter-esque yoga classes and felt like the red headed stepchild but never with Chris. Don't get me wrong she cares about the process and it's purity too but she also understands that on your first day you may not be able to do the Straight legs side crow.
