Had my first therapeutic massage with Mary today. She is new to Cedar Walk and the massage therapy industry, yet she still provided a valuable and relaxing hour long full-body massage. The environment at Cedar Walk is conducive to relaxation, and Mary was a mindful listener during her intake questions and also provided guidance about her techniques and what to expect. Years as a chef have given Mary the strength to produce effective pressure throughout the massage. I look forward to returning for future sessions with Mary, including testing out her energy management techniques that we didn't have time for during this hour long session. read more

Susannah Perry at Cedar Walk gave me possibly the best massage I have ever had in my life. She catered her touch to my needs and had a great flow to the session. She prepared me for how it would go ahead of time and encouraged me to communicate during the session about pressure, etc. This was a helpful reminder and resulted in amazing care for me. What a strong professional! read more

My husband and I are on a scouting trip for a new home (we're from Chicago). Our realtor suggested that we check out Hillsboro and while walking in the quaint historic side I saw the Cedar Walk Wellness Center. It's centrally located and offers a variety of wellness options from massage to energy work to acupuncture to counseling. Massage is an important component of body health for me, and finding a great therapist, whose style and personality matches mine can take some time, so I figured I'd get a head start on the search (just in case!) Later I went on line and read a couple of reviews and saw amazing things about Rendon. I took a chance and surprisingly was able to schedule a massage the next day. There was a slight scheduling snafu but Rendon not only called and emailed, but we easily found a new time and it gave me a chance to experience the great customer service that I was about to receive. Once I booked, I was sent an email and some information to fill out which took only a couple of minutes. On the day of, I arrived 5 minutes early. Rendon was waiting for me on the front porch and immediately took me in. Cedar Walk is a gorgeous and cozy place! Hard wood floors, welcoming rugs, large rooms and lots of light (but privacy as well). We discussed how I was feeling, if there were any areas to focus on, etc. MASSAGE TIME!!! Rendon checked in on pressure and how things were felling a couple of times with genuine care and concern. She did some techniques that I had not had done in the past (and I've been getting massages for 30+ years) - but were very effective. She spent extra time focusing in on my area of discomfort (my knee) and her expert fingers found the knots and soothed them. Rendon mentioned she'd check in the next day to see if I had any questions or soreness and she absolutely did (which was a first for me - to have someone check on me). I was expecting to have the full body 'hangover' from the massage as I usually do, but I only had a tiny bit of soreness and not even in my knee where we spent a lot of time! BOTTOM LINE: Great location, great space, great customer service and great massage! If you are looking for relaxation or relief, go and see Rendon (just be sure you leave some time for me to see her again too!) read more

Wow. Amazing. Hillsborough is so lucky to have Cedar Walk Wellness, and in such a convenient downtown location, too. I had the best massage of my life there. The building was clean, peaceful, and the staff was so friendly and helpful. The massage therapist I saw (Rendon) asked me all of the right questions to assure I had the best experience possible. I felt truly cared for before, during, and after the session. Although I've had massages other places in the past, I never felt inspired to make massage therapy a reoccurring type of healing experience in my life, until I found Cedar Walk Wellness. I would highly recommend this business. read more

Something very beautiful is going on over there in Hillsborough at Cedar Walk. I live in Cary, so it is a bit of a drive to get there, but it is so worth it. Some background on how I found my way to this place of loving kindness: About seven years ago, I was looking for therapist to help me with some very upsetting things that had happened in my life, including but not limited to, a. mistaken/incorrect diagnosis of a potentially fatal condition. When a doc says "brain ... could be fatal" most of us are going to have a lot of trouble coping with that. The diagnosis was later found to be incorrect, but it took five weeks to find that out. Even after the correct diagnosis (I'll live to fight another day and probably a few decades more), I was in rough shape, mentally and emotionally. It was a long, long year, searching for the right person. I saw Julia Corley's profile somewhere, though I do not recall where now. It took me some time to finally contact Julia, and by this time, she was working on her LPC, I believe in Boone NC, no longer practicing massage. I read her website over and over again--could someone really be THIS good, this loving? Really? One other person, someone in a related field told me, when I brought up that I was thinking of contacting Julia Corley: "She is a very special person." So, yes, my hunch had been correct. I saw Julia a number of times when she was in Durham. I knew she was, just as I'd been told, a very special person. If you need this kind of care--to feel not just welcomed but cared about, really cared about, you should look at her website and see if she can fit you in. I cannot say enough positive things about this beautiful spirit. She practices loving kindness, oh yes, she does. ****** Now, this year, 12 months into covid, I felt desperately in need of a massage. I had not been touched by another human being in a year--that is not good for any primate, including human beings. I contacted Julia via email to ask if she could recommend someone--because there are so many massage therapists and places with special package deals. But I knew that Julia, by this at Cedar Walk, where I'd last seen her, with her first/early career in the field of human helping, would know who is good--who is a skilled and kind massage therapist, who would care--not just welcome me as a client, but genuinely care. And this is how I met Rendon Foy. I had my third massage session with Rendon yesterday. I'm not sure I believe she is a mere human. I suspect she is one of those angels who live among us mortals. Every single time I have had a massage with her, when I leave, I have not even made it to the curb on King Street, when my thoughts tell me this: My gosh, what an angel. Rendon is gentle in her demeanor, a calm, quiet caring voice asking questions--how can she help make this feel better; telling me not to hold back if something does not feel as good as I'd hoped, or if she should adjust anything, anything at all. Yesterday, I saw her and I was, unfortunately all triggered over the mothers day drama, and I was not feeling my best mental and emotionally and even spiritually. Rendon was amazing. She asked if I would like to try some grounding exercises, and by god, she did it, she got my heart rate back down to 60-ish, from close to 90 due to stress. I feel like a pig who has fallen into mud? Is that the saying? It is not adequate all to describe how much this talented, gifted, dedicated hard working beautiful spirit has helped me. I am incredibly grateful, and I will be headed back soon. The best massage I have ever had, in a beautiful room too in n historic building, with artwork that is perfect for the setting, the big pink salt stone in the fireplace of this historic building, and Rendon. How fortunate I am. Cedar Walk has something very special, unique, positively glowing with helping energy. Thank you, Julia and Rendon--so much. read more
