Kathleen is BACK!!!…read more My search for an LMT that is professional, listened, and knew how to treat the aches/pain/stiffness ended when I found Kathleen years ago. Then she took a break and my journey to find a new LMT was very difficult. If you've had a few bad massages, you know the pain isn't just physical. It can also affect you mentally/physically. I felt like I could get no relief and had to start acupuncture and PT (both are great) but always felt something missing (and my achy neck/shoulders/back is a constant reminder). So I was overjoyed (to tears amidst childlike giddiness) to stumble on Kathleen's reopening of Simple Gifts and in my fave little Old Town EC. Kathleen takes the time to understand your specific needs, comfort level, preferences, and any quirks. She takes the time to get acquainted thus giving you the best massage experience. And when I say that she takes the time, she does NOT take it out of your scheduled massage time! You get the time you booked. No one else has helped me feel so relaxed, sleep better, fall asleep while getting a massage and even have a wonderful emotional experience while being massaged. Pure bliss and enjoyment of letting all that -ish go. You know that knot that you just can't seem to get to and no one else seems to hit it either? Kathleen pinpoints it and all you can do is let out a wonderful sigh of "Ahhhh, that's the spot". The new location is the old Quiet Time Hypnosis, so it is comfortable and quiet in old town EC. So it is across the hall from the previous location if you've been years ago. There isn't heavy scents to cause allergic reactions, excessive oiliness, eccentricity or any of that. It is a cozy, simple, relaxing, and comfortable environment. If you like it warmer or cooler; dimmer/brighter, etc, simply ask. Kathleen is truly an expert and has the most skilled talents to get to the knots and work them out. And she listens!!! I highly recommend Kathleen as she is a truly gifted LMT and wonderful human!

Plus, she's also a very nice person who takes great pride and happiness in knowing that what she loves doing is so very helpful to others. Added bonus: if you have a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) you'll be happy to know that (if your benefits manager is like mine) your FSA card payment to Electa will go through with no problem and none of the bothersome requirement to submit documentation of her services rendered. Thank you, Electa!

TL;DR: 12/10 stars. BY FAR the best value I've ever found. Take care of yourself - call Erin…read more Erin is the most professional and capable massage therapist I've ever been to. I'm still trying to figure out how a person of her size & stature could manage to produce the amount of pressure she does (I mean this in the best way possible). It's uncanny. She seeks and destroys tension & knots more immediately and affectively than anyone else I've ever experienced. And she somehow does it in the most calm & relaxing manner. A few things jump out at me every time I visit. 1) it feels like she genuinely cares about her clients' well-being 2) she takes pride in her practice; her office is clean, cozy, and chic 3) she's an actual expert/true professional; she employs techniques that make me think she knows things others do not. Lastly, my wife and I both go to Erin regularly. Her and I have very different body types and different needs. We both agree that no one compares, and we both enter Erin's office with knots and aches, and leave feeling reassembled and deeply relaxed. Provided we're in the state of Md, we'll never go anywhere else.

My issues were addressed and I left feeling relaxed, much looser, and virtually pain free. She is one of the few massage therapists I know that pays attention to how much your body can take and is right on the mark with her pressure. After the massage I felt like I was standing up taller with much improved posture. I get a lot of massages and I can honestly say she is the best in the area.

Julie #1 in the Maryland area for me and ranks in the Top 3 of anyone I've used. If I had the choice of getting a massage from any practitioners I know in the Maryland area - I'd choose Julie. I highly recommend her reflexology as well. She's one of the only massage therapists that's able to put me to sleep as well - and the massage is so great that when I wake every so slightly I say to myself "stay awake - I want to be awake because this feels so amazing"! I leave feeling completely refreshed. By the way - her prices are also amazingly low.

You can book and alter on her website which makes things very easy. I adore my massages from her and always look forward to my next one.
