I recently moved to Ashland, and am looking for a place to develop a standing massage appointment…read more Recently, I have had to work from an office again, which as we know is counterintuitive to our biology. At present, I felt a (for me) special need to receive massage therapy. I communicated prior in consultation my body's needs, and also early during our session that I needed a deeper, more systemic massage, but my communication did not impact the modality. The response I received was, "We'll see." I was not listened to. I wanted to wait a few days to monitor my biofeedback before formulating an opinion, and as some time has passed, I feel no therapeutic benefit was received. There was no felt toxin release or muscular physiological shift. My body just needs a modality that utilizes deeper pressure for systemic benefit. This would be a fine experience simply within the context of a relaxing afternoon, or if the cost was not aligned with local market rate, which is well above national averages. Unfortunately, I am going to have to continue searching for a massage therapy nearby. I only hope that this was simply an isolated experience, and not representative of the school, otherwise I feel a need to seek external influence in finding a massage therapy of value. I will not be returning to Ashland Institute of Massage, as I received no value for what I paid, which is disheartening coming from the region's education center.

Finally was able to get a massage (from RoseAnn) and I am so much better! She made the time to extend my 60 minute massage appointment to a 90 minute one in order to work on my body pain as needed.

Expect it will come back, but I have already scheduled more massages with Chrysalis Massage Clinic and RoseAnn!

Ariel's massage definitely stands out as slow, strong, and steady. Her intuition, patience and thoroughness made her massage almost like an art form. After she worked on my neck and shoulder, I was surprised to feel 100% better! Usually, a masseuse will start to work out the knots but in the end the knots are not completely gone. But she took the time to work out all of the knots. So refreshing! Plus, speaking of thorough, she used aroma therapy, big soft cushion for the knees, and hot towels at the end. She has a calm, patient presence, and I felt I was in good hands. I'd recommend Ariel to anyone. I wish her well. And I'll be back!
