Amazing experience - I had an appointment with Marissa for lymphatic drainage due to a lingering…read moreankle injury (4 weeks out and still puffy in some areas). This was my first experience with lymphatic drainage; it'd been recommended to try and reduce some of the swelling that wasn't resolving on its own, and I came across Marissa's site. Her space is calm and welcoming, and she instantly puts you at ease. She explained how the entire lymph system works, what can happen with an injury that can cause the lack of drainage I was experiencing, and the flow we'd be using during the entire process. She was very focused on comfort levels - temperature of the table, any pressure the drape might put on my ankle, and any areas that might be sensitive for me (physically or mentally/emotionally). Marissa is incredibly knowledgeable, competent, and intuitive. We worked through the flow, and much to my surprise I could feel it working - I could actually feel the sensations she had described *could* happen in several instances, and the amount of pressure needed for the drainage was incredibly light - far, far less pressure than in a Swedish massage, so no discomfort at all, even on injured tissue. At the end of the massage, when I looked at my right ankle, I was stunned to see it had symmetry again with my uninjured ankle - it had been swollen for 30 days. The area at the joint that was warm to the touch and felt "full" to me was completely flat. My only regret in this process is I didn't take before and after photos to show the difference. 24 hours later, the swelling remains 90% diminished from before the massage. I have a much higher range of motion, as the swelling had been prevented rotation. Things that caused my ankle to ache - like crossing my legs and having the injured ankle unsupported for more than 90 seconds - don't hurt. I cannot believe the difference this made; if it had been 25% as effective as it was I would have considered it to be a wild success. I would not hesitate to do lymphatic drainage (or any massage) with Marissa again, and would recommend her to any friend or family member.

I just had my second massage with Marissa. My body feels so good! I walked in with a knee issue and…read moreI walked out healed! My chronic back pain has dissolved for now, my range of motion has increased. I can do spinal twists more comfortably. I also added a hot oil scalp massage because it sounded delightful. I didn't even think about how dry and itchy my scalp has been this winter. My scalp stopped itching and my hair smells amazing from her premium selection of essential oils. Also love the warm, rolled up neck towel, the weighted heating pad, the peppermint oil foot massage, the ambience, and her attention to detail. Can't wait for my next appointment! Thank you Marissa‍
