Would recommend her to anyone who is suffering in chronic pain! She knows what she is doing and how best to serve your needs based on your own situation. Her work is tailored to what is going on with her client. Her staff is kind and friendly as well. Great experience for me as a new client. As another reviewer stated......."Gail is amazing"..............and she is!!!!!

The best massage I've ever had was on my honeymoon in Montana by a gal who was living at the resort…read morefor the summer only and returning to Florida again in the Fall of 2009. I wish I knew her name and I'd recommend her on here, too. Anyway, Gail Bauer of Essential Kneads almost pushed that girl off my pedastal... but now she just sits up there with her... and probably because the first girl has sentimental value associated with her being it was my honeymoon. Gail is an amazing massage therapist! She listens to what you want, is very knowledgeable, makes you feel comfortable, and knows how to apply pressure! I met Gail when she did a demo at a Belk Department Store event in mid 2011. She won me over when she about knocked me out of her demo chair! I knew right away that she wasn't timid about working tight muscles and could get in there and work out those kinks. I booked a full body massage at her introductory rate which I thought was very reasonable. Her facility is a little tricky to find, but once you get there, the lobby is spacious and comfortable with her massage room down a short corridor and behind substantial noise barriers. There was a party going on at another tenants office, but I wasn't disturbed by the occassional belly laughs that filtered through the walls. The music was soothing, the room was decorated nicely and was very clean. There was plenty of space for Gail to easily move around the table as she worked without bumping or jarring me in any way. Her lotions smelled nice without being overwhelming. She is polite and communicates whe she is doing/about to do without being annoying about it (i.e. tell me, but I don't need a play by play). I feel like for the introductory price (which I think was $49) and for the level of pressure I received, I got an amazing deal. I like a LOT of pressure and she delivered. I highly recommend her, even if pressure isn't your thing. She massaged my husband a few weeks ago, and he's not as in to deep tissue as I am. He loved it. Thanks, Gail!!

I spent the weekend at Barnsley Resort with a group of friends for a birthday celebration, and I…read morewas looking forward to using their spa services while we were there. I got a manicure and a swedish massage. The massage was great. The massage therapist asked me about any medical issues beforehand, and she did focus on the areas that I described as my problem areas. My manicure left a little bit to be desired. I thought the manicurist was really nice and the experience itself was pleasant and comfortable. But I wasn't really that happy with the quality of the manicure and the polish started to bubble and peel up around the edges on the 2nd day. My polish lasts longer than that when I paint my nails at home. But the reason I gave the spa 3 stars out of 5 is because of the facility itself. The changing area and waiting room are way too small for how many people were coming in and out on a Saturday. A group of us made appointments together and the locker room was so crowded between the 5 of us and other guests that it was uncomfortable. There was a line of people waiting to use the restroom and the staff told us that was the only bathroom available. I had to stand aside waiting for 2 people to move so that I could get to my locker. The layout of the locker room is lacking privacy as well since I was changing towards the front of the room where people coming in and out walked right by me. The robe seemed especially thin, particularly in the upper chest area. The loungey waiting area is co-ed and almost every seat was taken when I was waiting for my massage. It would have been nice to use the steam room or enjoy a cup of hot tea after my massage but I really just wanted to change and leave so that I could be out of the way of others. As for the massage room, I wish the room had been darker and more quiet. You could clearly hear what was going on out in the hallway at the very beginning of the massage and it made it hard to relax. Maybe if you came during a weekday when it is less crowded then you may have a completely different experience. I was expecting a "spa experience" given the pricing of the massage, and overall I felt disappointed.

I have probably only been impressed enough after my first session to leave a positive review after maybe 5 or 6 of them. 2.

For reference I am a man in his late 60s with arthritis in his neck and most of his joints, and generally sub-optimal circulation. Monica was the amazing therapist who worked miracles on all my aches and pains, and did so with great deep-muscle massage technique as well as more kindness, compassion, and good humor than any other therapist I remember. She is amazing, and I will be coming back weekly!! Terry

The last massage was rather bad, she spent a very long time massaging the bottom of my feet? I think she did this because she was able to sit on a stool the entire time. I asked her twice if she would please work on my hips and back. Also, she asked me how about the pressure when she was using her elbows to work on my back, I said fine, but then the pressure just stopped, did not work on target points. Just a lot of rubbing. Did not work in requested areas. I left disappointed, with a lot of tightness in my back and hips. I do not know if I will go back.
