OVERVIEW:
I've had the good fortune to be a client of Kristen's (Physical Language owner and therapist) while she was still finishing her massage therapy designation. She is wonderful and has provided some of the best massages I have ever had. When I get a massage from Kristen I know I am going to get treatment that is attuned to my body's physical needs (tight/sore areas) and personal requests (deep vs. myofascial release etc).
LOCATION AND AMENITIES:
The treatment is done in a private room in her home. It is up a flight of stairs and the room has a massage table and area to hang and store your belongings during the appointment. In this sense, do not expect a fancy spa experience with bells and whistles like access to a steam room or shower. The price, however, reflects this AND you can get a better massage with her then you often would in a hotel or spa anyway! The location is about a mile away from a couple of metro stops (red, yellow, green lines) and although I do not drive, I imagine finding street parking isn't be a problem during the day.
BOOKING:
Easy to use online booking system. Kristen requests answers to a detailed new student intake questionnaire so take some time to complete this form because it is ultimately for your benefit. She asks these questions to tailor your massage treatment to your needs and goals. There is no cookie-cutter treatment here - this is what makes her such a good and unique massage therapist. She listens to not only what information you provide her but also feels for what your body may need, e.g., trigger points.
OTHER:
Kristen is also enrolled in a course to learn Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy. Kristen is an avid learner and is always looking to strengthen her knowledge of the body and the mind to ultimately improve her treatment offerings. She is currently providing a discount for those in the service and entertainment industries. Kristen is very friendly and I highly recommend visiting her for a massage treatment! read more
