The word can not express my gratitude to Diane. I was visiting a friend in Florida and had a flare…read moreup of muscle spasms ( entire left side of my back), which will lead to elevation of my left shoulder. I saw a chariopractor first, but with no good luck. I contacted her by text and within an hour, she replied with the availability in her schedule. When I saw her, she great me with the warm smile. After short interview, I was directed to the massage room which is the best room ever I have been to. The bed is so comfortable and warm. She took her time to assess and massage each area. I never left either chiropractor office or massage when I have this issue and my shoulder will be level except this time. She taught me couple of exercises to do to prevent the recurrence of this issue and so far thing are going well. I will definitely see her again and have no issue at all to travel to have another heavenly massage. Thank you Diane and keep up the good work.

Easy to find the location and it was a very relaxing atmosphere going in, it smelled relaxing! The sheets on the massage table were so nice we snuck a peek at the tag so we could get our own. I felt like the massage I received was the best massage the therapist could give. I told her the areas I felt that I needed to have extra attention to. She did a full body 90 minute massage, got all the areas I requested and wrapped it up with a scalp/cranium massage. It was a full 90 minutes and very thorough. I can honestly say it was the best massage I can remember having. I left feeling relaxed, stretched, and released. We definitely got our money's worth and plan on returning in a few weeks!

And as a personal trainer I can tell that Melissa has an amazing understanding of the body, so I can be sure that I'm getting just what I need. Often I come to her feeling really tense after a long day of working with clients and sitting at my computer and she knows exactly how to make me feel relaxed, calm, and actually nicely enough a bit taller (which is a big deal for a short girl like me!). I've come to her a dozen or more times and have even sent my husband and a few of my clients there. They all come back to me raving at how amazing she was and how great they feel. They now see her regularly too. The best part about all of it though is Melissa herself. She has an amazing working knowledge of the body, can do many different types of massage, and she really gets to know you and understand what you're looking for. I feel so at ease with her and she makes me feel very cared for. You can tell she loves what she does and truly believes in it, because you're never just a number with her. I never feel rushed and she always takes it one step further by giving me a little tip on my way out the door, like a stretch that I can do to alleviate some of the tension I'm feeling in my neck. I am now a massage devotee and will continue to send my clients to her.

When my husband and I look forward to coming to our time share we look forward to our massages with Melissa. Melissa gets it right. The pressure, the room temp, the bed is amazing. She remembered us and our conversations we had a year ago so we feel like we are visiting an old friend. She is so good that she books fast so make sure to make an appointment in advance!! Can't wait for next years massage already!!

Shocking Treatment: Disabled and Black at Glengary Massage Center…read more I don't have video evidence, but I got the full Karen experience. As someone who respects the challenges of small businesses, I waited a full month to calm down and speak directly with Ed, the owner, whom I've known for over 30 years, before posting this review. I wanted to determine if my experience was a one-off bad day or something more systemic. After discussing it yesterday with Ed and his wife, Sara (not sure of the receptionist's real name), it became clear that Ed did not share my concerns about his business's reputation. His advice to me, a patron, was to "get over it because racism no longer exists in this country." Yes, he went full TRUMP MAGA. I find Ed to be completely spineless. To summarize my experience: A mutual friend who used to work there recommended Ed to treat some of the chronic effects of my Parkinson's Disease. I called to make an appointment but stopped by the place I remembered as a safe space in Sarasota. I am a 6'2", 255 lbs (down from 310 lbs over the last six months) African-American man and a graduate of the FSU/Asolo Film Program in 1992. I am relatively well known as a cultural activist, serving many roles over the last 34 years. Living in Bradenton, it was a long drive for me to Sarasota, especially with Parkinson's. I now know my weight loss was creating sudden drops in my blood pressure, also known as hypotension. Large drops can be life-threatening. In fact, hypotension contributed to my mother's untimely car accident that caused her death. Thankfully, my cardiologist has now reduced my hypertension meds to level me out. As I pulled into the parking lot, my phone rang. It was the receptionist. I confirmed my appointment for 7/11, but something about her tone made me uneasy. She seemed upset because my speech was slurring as I struggled with severe Parkinson's symptoms at that moment. I was experiencing tremors, a sudden drop in blood pressure, excessive sweating, drooling, muscle rigidity, and bradykinesia. (Bradykinesia means slowness of movement and speed, or progressive hesitations/halts as movements are continued.) I had the presence of mind to ask if she was calling from the center, but she lied and said she was off-site. Racism is like the Supreme Court's assessment of pornography--you know it when you see it or, in this case, hear it. If I had known she was at the center, I would have left immediately. However, I felt unsafe driving, so I went in to relieve myself and get a cold drink of water. It was like an oven outside. As I walked into the patio area, I heard a disembodied voice yell, "We don't have any openings today." Realizing she had lied, I replied, "I know, ma'am. I just called," and continued towards the entrance. As I opened the door, the receptionist suddenly appeared and snatched the door out of my hand. Bewildered, I tried to adjust my pants, which had started to sag. It's better to tighten my belt than let them drop. Remember, I, like many people living with PD, have bradykinesia, so all my fine motor functions are slow and difficult. During my meeting, Ed made much to do about me struggling to keep my trousers up. Apparently, trying to re-notch my belt is a massage center no-no--an unwritten rule I didn't know about. Can you imagine what would have happened if my pants had dropped in front of this rude white woman? Yes, I was scared and desperate to keep my trousers up. In physical distress and unable to stand or walk, I sat down to gather myself. I could hear the receptionist saying something was wrong with me, but she offered no help or concern. I sat for a few minutes before pulling myself together and leaving. I then went to Massage Heights in the Landing, where I received professional care. On my way to Massage Heights, I received a call from a Sarasota Sheriff Officer. Instead of asking if I needed help, the receptionist had weaponized the police. The officer, who had seen me leaving the center, apologized, saying he didn't believe I was a threat. He even suggested I might want to file a civil complaint. Ed and his wife offered no apology. Karen even doubled down, criticizing my behavior. She clearly should not be in a public-facing role in a healthcare environment. If I had collapsed on the scene, she'd have to talk to a judge and not be so snarky. Karen, please learn this lesson: not every Black man is a threat, especially paying customers. When in doubt, try to apply basic humanity first before locking doors and calling the police. Try something like, "Are you okay? Do you have a medical issue? Can I help you?" Lastly, it is clear Ed is a spineless man. During the encounter, he popped out of his massage session and said, "I know him," to Karen before she called the police Karen rules the house and business. He did not have the courage to stand up against her. No, I won't be going back. They must post a sign: "Beware of Spineless Owner's Karen Wife."
