She is extremely knowledgable about her craft, and she genuinely enjoys what she does, and it shows. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend giving her a try.

I initially heard about MAT from my cousin after complaining that I was frequently pulling my…read morecalves while running. He has gone to an MAT practitioner in Kansas City and raved about it. After investigating a bit more, I found Rachael and Root of Motion and decided to give it a try. The results, while gradual, were undeniable. Since starting MAT I haven't had a single calf pull during any of my runs or sprint workouts. Rachael is friendly and fun but a master of her craft and a true professional that takes pride in truly helping her clients. As an example of this, she often opts for 90 minute appointments; this is much more of a physical burden on her -- MAT is often a lot of work for the therapist -- yet she is willing to do it because she believes it yields better results for her clients. She also provides massage work as well; the combo of the two is fantastic. Of course MAT won't solve every problem. But if you've been suffering with injury, pain, or inflexibility, it may be worth a shot. If you're curious, I recommend giving Rachael and MAT a try.

Michelle at Body WorX is a fantastic massage therapist! I started coming to her a few years ago…read morewhen I began training for my first half marathon. I knew that I wanted someone who did more than the standard relaxation massage, with knowledge on sports massage and recovery. In addition to the massage, she gives helpful stretches and exercises to help problem areas. I really don't think I would have survived my half marathon and full marathon training without regular visits! I switched from distance running training to weight and strength training (I'm very happy for regular marathon runners, but I think I'm sticking to 10ks and shorter from now on!). Michelle was very knowledgeable on the changes my body and muscles would experience with this change. Post-massage she gave great advice on stretches to do to help my muscles endure the exercise switch up.

I am a former powerlifter now turned triathlete and cyclist; I still have a lot of muscle mass…read more Michelle digs in and does the work necessary to get at my muscles. She also incorporates range of motion movements which I appreciate and loosen me up. She is attentive to your aches and will address them, which is to say she doesn't follow a routine if a muscle group needs attention. Many times I have left her studio feeling like a wet noodle. Just simply wonderful. I've had many massages over the years where I was told I was getting a sports massage. Many have failed. Michelle exceeds.

Jodi is the Absolute BEST physical therapist around. I'm in my 20s and have had plenty of injuries…read moregrowing up, never needed PT. However, I was injured at work and healing independently was no longer an option. Every worker in this location is absolutely amazing and became family. I spent 3x a week with them for approximately 8 months before I was comfortable enough to leave personally. But that's to no fault of the location, I just wanted to be safer than sorry later so I stuck to it for longer. PT kicked my butt DAILY. And right when things were starting to feel easy, Jodi changed the workouts and made me feel like I was back at square one. She was also able to read her clients well. I've seen her be the sweetest person to an old lady who needed motivation to keep doing. But me? I was challenged. I got the attitude and the push she knew would work for someone like me. Things that seemed so small like standard squats were the only reason I was able to use a bathroom on my own again because you never realize how low toilets actually sit until your knee doesn't work. I could go on and on about how beneficial it was for me to be hear and I was not originally happy to be there. I didn't want PT, didn't think I needed PT and felt a pride hit being there. But now I know the benefits of going and hopefully I'll never have to go back but if I do, I'd never look for a different location or therapist.

I work out a lot, and on top of that I also have a sedentary job so I get the double whammy of…read moretight muscles that comes with both. I had Marija, and I could tell that she takes massage seriously and works on her skills. She knows what she is doing and can tell what part of your body needs work and how to release the knots. She is very intuitive and knows just how much pressure to use when she is massaging you. She also has good customer service and communication, which unfortunately not all LMTs have. Let me also mention that I've been looking for a decent massage therapist in the St Louis/Belleville area for like 3 years since I was stationed here. I've tried like 10+ different places and they were honestly mediocre with the exception of like one other independent massage therapist, who I believe moved location. So I kept looking for someone local and found Holistic Massage and Reiki, and this place is a gem. I've had a lot of massages across the states for like 6 years so I am very aware of what constitutes a "good" massage. I feel like a lot of LMTs in the St Louis region got into the business because they thought it was easy money and all they have to do is go through a routine of "pawing" at people, and they have no intuition or deep knowledge of anatomy. Even a lot of LMTs and chains here with "good" reviews were mediocre because no offense but most clients in this area never had an actually good massage. So, understand my frustration. But then I find Marija and not only is she competent and know what she is doing, SHE IS ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD. I am not going to list all the mediocre places in the city and the other side of the river before I found her (since this review is for Holistic, not them) but seriously, don't even bother with the other places, just go to Marija.

She takes a very special and holistic approach to healing. She uses a variety of tools to help; chiropractic, acupuncture technique, muscle testing, and so much more. She has a gift of really listening to you, and will treat according to what your body AND soul want. There are certain things I just don't like, acupuncture needles near my toes and thumbs. She gets it, listens, and finds another way. She is so patient and caring, and she makes sure that I am comfortable 100% of the way. I have been to many chiropractors, and she is hands down the best I have seen. Her chiropractic technique is effective, and simply sensational.
