I have no intention to wait for half hour in a parking lot especially that I have some plans for after the session. So I cancelled and she sent me another text to say we would not be a good fit as she is very flexible with the appointments! I guess people time is of no concern to her. I don't know how good she is but no one is good enough to disrespect other people' schedule. I find this extremely rude.

As a patient with chronic neck and back pain, I have sampled quite a few massage therapists over…read morethe years and Julia is probably the best one I've ever seen. I was able to get an appointment with her within the week, and she usually responds quite promptly to texts. Julia's place and her attitude are both no-frills. She asked me in which area I was feeling pain, and took over all the rest. You can tell from the way she treats your body that she knows exactly what she is doing - somehow, she manages to work at the spots that you didn't even know were sore! I love going to Julia because it feels as if I go in with a body that is all twisted and crooked and she slowly straightens every piece of it out. She is absolutely amazing and has a true gift. Julia is also funny, friendly and straightforward, and I feel cared for and better after each visit with her.

I had been searching for a good massage therapist for a few years now, ever since a friend of mine…read morewhom I had been going to retired. I had tried several places around town and would pretty much always end up with the same results; I'd feel better for a few hours or maybe a day if I was lucky. The problems seemed consistent no matter where I went. The therapists would always have either too soft of pressure or painfully inconsistent pressure as they struggled through their set list of pre rehearsed strokes. I felt like I had finally given up when a friend of mine called me to ask for a ride home from a massage appointment he was finishing up at. I asked him about the therapist and he had a lot of good things to say about Holly. Skeptic as always, but still very open minded and willing to give it a chance I called and made my first appointment. From the moment I entered the clean, well-kept office I had positive feelings about it. Holly greeted me with her warm smile and an energetic, yet relaxing positive attitude. Right away you could tell she had an enthusiastic passion for her profession and was here because she enjoyed it and not just because it was her job. Much to my surprise after entering the massage room instead of the usual 60 second check list about prior massages/medical history she actually talked in great detail about what I wanted to get out of the session and what kinds of things were causing me trouble and pain and needed to be worked on. Her responses were incredibly intelligent, while not talking over my head or making up facts to sound more impressive, and was able to anticipate a lot of the problems I've been having based solely on my responses to her questions. The massage went great. Her pressure was firm, while not being painful and even better she was always amazingly consistent with it. Every muscle seemed to receive the same amount of pressure. Instead of just rehearsing a series of practiced moves on my back for an hour I felt as if she had tailored the massage specifically to my needs and attacked problems head on instead of simply massaging around until the session timer beeped so she could punch out her time card and go home. It was easy to see after the first session that Holly was a rare find in any profession, but as a massage therapist she truly goes above and beyond to help people who need it. Amazingly, the usual "couple hours of feeling better" had turned into several days. I don't have any serious medical conditions to the point that I severely need the massage, but I do have horrible posture and I've played guitar in a band for years now and over that time the task of wearing a 10 pound Les Paul over my shoulder every day has caused me a lot of shoulder and back pain. I have now been receiving massage from Holly consistently for a little over a month or so and in that time my posture has improved tremendously. I'm able to stand up straighter and my shoulders don't hunch forward nearly as much. I never ever leave a session feeling like she left something behind to work on next time to keep me coming back in. My mother, who had somewhat recently broken her arm and has been having serious tissue damage in her arm and shoulder from the accident, has also been seeing Holly on a regular basis now. She also has nothing but great things to say about her experiences as well and has found major improvement in her arm's mobility since working with Holly. Another issue I've had with other places I've gone to in the past is that many of them almost seem like they're trying to book me for my next seven appointments the moment I walk through the front door for the first. I have never felt like Holly is trying to pull a salesperson-like pitch on me just to get me to come back next time. She is serious about being there to help and not just out to make an extra buck off someone or sell you something extra that you don't need. Whether you're a first timer or experienced massage goer, just needing to relax or in serious need of good therapeutic massage; I seriously cannot recommend Holly enough. Her knowledge, skill and experience as well as her calm, caring and therapeutic demeanor will leave you hooked after your first session.

I've been seeing Wendy Harrison for several years now. She used to be at Mid Town Natural Heath,…read morebut now has a new office on Lytton, just off Middlefield. She does a thing called Marma Point Therapy, which is part of Ayurvedic healing practices. Honestly, I don't know what any of that means, but she sure does and it works! Wendy has an amazing knowledge of the body and how it responds to different things. She is an excellent teacher and has shown me not only better posture and movement, but has also helped me become more aware of my body and how it "talks" to me. I'd have to say that 90% of my pain is gone, which I think is absolutely amazing. My range of motion, especially in my neck, is normal now, and when I used to have regular headaches, they are now gone. YES!!! During one session, I mentioned that I was feeling a bit of a headache. I assumed it was from my neck and shoulders. She merely touched a few places on my back, felt the tension, then informed that the headache was coming for a spot much lower on my back. She worked that spot for a few minutes and wham! Headache gone. Amazing. Her rates are more than reasonable, she can work with insurance companies, and she is really very professional. She's also very sensitive to how much pressure you can handle - and wow, she can use a lot of pressure and go very deep when she needs to. Every time I go see Wendy, I practically have to be poured into a bucket and carried out, I'm so relaxed. Good Stuff.
