I had chiropractic treatments that offered temporary relief (for this condition) and also some initial "deep tissue" PT that began to show some results.. I was referred to Stephen by some fellow pickleball friends and so began my journey/experience with Rolfing.. To start with, Rolfing is painful at times !! Period !! After the 1st session I began to experience relief of my symptoms which included severe nerve pain in my lower back traveling down to my calf muscles and causing numbness in my toes.. The Rolfing treatment process is a 10 session (weekly) treatment protocol that releases the built up tension/stiffness in one's facia layer of tissue through out the body .. Did I mention that at times it hurt like hell !!! Stephen did a very thorough job in each of the 10 hour long sessions and I felt things shifting after each treatment.. I'm fully back to playing pickleball, working out at the gym, living my life pain free and feeling better than ever.. and I made a new friend in the process Thank You Stephen !!!

The body worker, Stephen Howard was professional, and effective, his location is convenient and clean. I would give him a five stars.

I've spent the last four days considering this review and am ready to lay it out…read more There is no question that Sarah has great service, to speak to that; I called Sarah on a Wednesday to see if I could get in on Thursday morning. She double checked her calendar and said she could get me in. After much conversation, Sarah let me know about the Yelp deals and we agreed to an hour and a half, which for first time clients was only $65. Pretty impressive! The office was in a good location and she was sure to make the experience relaxing and comfortable. So one may ask, why four stars... Sarah did a great job listening and also had great technique on the trigger points. The one thing I have issues with is the knots in my shoulder blades. I'm not sure if we didn't have enough time for her to work them all out or if she did not find them with the other stress and strain in my back. At the end of the day, the knots are my biggest reason to get massages regularly. I will schedule another appointment at her office and encourage others to do the same. I'm confident she is my local solution to massage therapy. O

I contacted her and within the hour we set up an appt. I arrived at her home which is in a nice gated community. She greeted me at the door with a big smile and hug, led me to her studio, which was welcoming & beautifully decorated. The energy in the room was well balanced, immediately producing a calming effect and was just what I needed. She showed me to the bathroom and instructed me to rinse off and then lie down on the table when I was ready. Once rinsed and on the table she came in and asked me what needed to be worked on, we talked about my sore spots, the negative energies in my life that were causing blockages and what I hoped to get out of our session. I have had a reiki massage once before and was not impressed, this was not the case with Kellyann. She worked her magical hands all over me, focusing on my sore spots repeatedly, clearing the blockages stress and negative energy had built up, refocusing and balancing my energy and incorporating an amazing full body massage that rivals any swedish/deep tissue massage I've had and I've had plenty. I was impressed and happy that she even massaged my buttocks and chest area, two areas that are sadly over looked but important as they are major muscles and areas that hold a lot of stress and are connected to everything else. As she worked on me we talked about our lives and experiences and I got to see beyond the masseuse that she's an amazing person, full of life, beauty and passion for what she does. A true healer, not just in the sense of massage but also through her energy which she so willingly shares. I left feeling amazing, satisfied, balanced and re-energized. It's a week later as I write this review and am happy to say I still feel great and look forward to seeing her the next time I am in town. For those interested in the financial part I paid $200 for 2 hours which is very reasonable and well priced for the work she did. If you are use to paying $40 for a massage then you may find her prices high. If you are use to paying high end spa prices of $120+ for a massage then her prices are a bargain considering the massage you get from her will rival and surpass any you can get at a spa.

The only thing that keeps me from awarding five stars is the need to go up and down stairs to the treatment rooms.
