Without a doubt the best place in Jacksonville to receive a "real" therapeutic treatment. What do I mean by "real", well you'll be glad you asked. I have been to most, if not all, of the "franchise" massage places over the last 10 years and through that experience I can you that you're really wasting your money for a cheap massage that will keep you feeling good for about 12 hours. At Caring Palms I found uniqueness, a place that really cares about you, and cares about the long-term effects of their work with you. I found such skilled people there, people who understand the human anatomy, and who discuss treatment options with you instead of saying "Now serving #234 for the deep tissue special." They actually consulted with me first to understand where my physical pain was and applied years of experience to recommend the best treatment option for my wife and me. I've built customer experience organizations across the globe and I understand what the difference between customer satisfaction and customer experience is. Caring Palms understands the difference too. They don't want you to be just satisfied; they want you to take home memories of a wonderful experience. That folks is unique and something you will not find in Jacksonville unless you visit Brian and his Team. My experience has shown me that the effects of a physical and spiritual healing session from Caring Palms last me often times for weeks and even longer. There is no pressure to sign up for another massage right away, because they know you may not need one right away. That's how good they are and how good you will feel. Try them once and you'll never look back. read more

You have two choices when deciding where to go for a massage or energy healing. You can choose to go to a franchise or you can choose to go to Caring Palms. I have been to both, many times actually, and no franchise has ever been able to compete with the therapeutic skill set offered by Brian and his staff at Caring Palms. Brian is skilled in at least 5-10 different forms of massage techniques from all over the world and he and his staff take time to understand and analyze what form of treatment they would recommend for you. In the end, it's still all up to you, but it has been my experience that the years of experience and care offered at Caring Palms gives them a huge edge over any other massage locations in Jacksonville. I drive 45min each way to go to Caring Palms for a reason. They have set the bar so high in terms of technique, professionalism, and knowledge that I don't trust my body, mind, or soul anywhere else. read more

Like the previous reviewer, I've been to other independent practitioners as well as franchises. None compare to the genuine healing offered by Caring Palms. Brian is extremely intuitive and takes time to assess your needs. His pricing is very reasonable, especially considering the level of care he offers...he'll get you set up, make you feel comfortable, figure out what you need, then STILL give you a full hour massage. You won't find that elsewhere. The facility is spotless, calm, and inviting, and I love being able to choose my oil from his selection. Make an appointment...you won't be disappointed! read more

Finding Caring Palms was a such a blessing. I meet a friend who had just had a massage with Brian and she had a look of bliss on her face. I said "I need a massage from this guy." That was over two years ago. I have since taken all three levels of Reiki training from Brian and he takes teaching to a whole other level. His teaching skills are outstanding, he loves what he does, and it shows in the passion he has for his art. Forget the "Walmartesque" budget massage places. And visit the pro's at Caring Palms!!! read more

Cheryl has this uncanny ability to find exactly where to work to relieve pain and tightness. Though she may not look like a body-builder, don't be deceived into thinking that a therapist has to have 6 pack abs to release recalcitrant muscles. It's not about brute strength, but skill, intuition, healing ability, and technique - which Cheryl's got in spades! Without exception, I leave stoned with wonderful relief. No wonder that I've chosen to receive her work for 20 years! Shirley read more

I went for a massage in particular to relieve pain and occasional numbness in my left shoulder blade to arm. Brian was the first therapist to put a dent in this issue in a meaningful way. The trigger point therapy and myofascial work were just what I needed. Some people need the soft relaxing touch...I needed the stretching and pinpointed deep pressure to relieve my pain. He knows his stuff!! 2 enthusiast thumbs up!! Go here...you'll thank me later read more

Brian, the owner of Caring Palms does a fantastic job. I have been to just about every type of massage, chiropractor, physio you can think of and he is among the best. I like that he has experience in many different forms of massage and does not take a cookie cutter approach. Also, he's just a nice person who is easy to talk to when I sit there complaining about all my problems LOL. read more

I have been to Caring Palms for both the massage and the Reiki services. Brian is a very talented healer. My very first Reiki session completely healed my plantar fasciitis that had been extremely painful for months! Definitely check this place out! read more

Wonderful attention to sore spots. Very nice rooms and staff. The tables have a comfortable place for the arms to rest while lying face-down - Neat! This place really gets the job done and I plan on going at least monthly for maintenance. read more

Monique was wonderful - I really felt better after my reiki session with her. The work she did on me was really effective. Everyone is accommodating, the atmosphere is so peaceful and the staff is really talented. I'll be back! read more

I always have a great experience when I come here. Whether I have Brian or Christine they are both extremely gifted and intuitive massage therapists who understand what's going on with me and always get me sorted right out. read more

I had a very nice experience at Caring Palms earlier this week. I have upper back and shoulder problems and both Victoria and Brian seem very knowledgeable. I booked my second massage by Victoria for next week. read more
