Update*
Reducing this to one star due to lack of professionalism. Inviting a stranger into your home - sharing personal details about your health - which are requirement for mobile massage leaves you feeling vulnerable. To be ignored after sharing this information feels creepy and sketchy.
Avoid.

I spoke to Octavia last week about scheduling a in home massage - aka mobile massage. She was one of four therapists I communicated with (found them searching abmp.com, amtamassage.org, massagefinder.com and Google).
I was impressed with the fact that she a) has an actual website with firm prices, b) she has an online scheduler and c) she responded to my texts.
When I asked about references - she referred me to her 3 Google reviews - so I decided to create a review here to give the business more of web presence. Google notoriously doesn't validate their user reviews - so maybe more of her actual customers will chime in here with their reviews.
These mobile therapists have it kinda tough - because they have to carefully vet clients to make sure they're not sketchy or looking for 'illegal' services. But conversely, customers have to be safe as well because some people advertising themselves as massage therapists simply aren't - they're looking to provide illegal services or rob people.
She did 'ghost' me after we spoke on the phone - so I honestly don't know if I skeeved her out or if she simply felt like we wouldn't work well together. On Yelp, 3 stars means A-OK, and even though I would have sincerely appreciated the promised follow-up - I simply can't rate her less than three stars. read more
