Review #1006 2026-076…read more I found Massage By Jaqu & Cait shortly after my car accident. My physical therapist suggested acupuncture &/or massage along with PT to help with the recovery process. I'm not a fan of needles & uncomfortable with massage (personal boundaries & extremely ticklish), though the latter is more tolerable. I did various key word searches & jotted a few on a list... while Massage By Jaqu & Cait was not listed as a top 3 on any of the searches (probably because there's only a handful of reviews), they were responsive to my inquiry about their services. I mentioned that my physical therapist suggested massage to help with my recovery, but I'm sensitive to touch & extremely ticklish. Jaqu says she can work with me & adjust accordingly to my temperament. I booked with her since she answered my call & had first availability. I liked that she always sends a confirmation text the day before my appointment. To book an appointment, go to their website: jaquandcait.com to search for availability. Following the selected date, there's a detailed booking form that requires your contact info, massage type, massage pressure, & injuries disclosure with an optional message section; it also allows you to pay immediately or pay in person. I always pay at the time of booking, so I'm not sure what happens to your payment if you have to reschedule or cancel. On my initial visit, I was warmly greeted & surprised to see a large, friendly dog beside her! He's a guide dog because she's visually impaired. After the quick intro, she showed me the bathroom & led me downstairs to her therapy room. It's spacious & clean, decorated in soft neutral, earthy colors with an open bookcase opposite of the bed to store your belongings & clothes. The room temperature is always just right, I never feel chilly while undressed on the table, or too warm if it's hot outside. From the get-go, Jaqu applied perfect firm pressure & broad strokes that I never laughed. Though we usually start randomly chatting, I find myself feeling drowsy/sleepy from her seamless flow that melts away my pain & physical tension. She seems to know exactly what's wrong & how to break that tightness & pain, particularly where I injured my back & shoulders. Jaqu is so good that I get "massage drunk" because I'm so relaxed afterwards my blood pressure is lowered & I'm dehydrated from fluids moving; I'm also deeply relaxed that I need a post-massage nap. I always hydrate just before my session & carry a water bottle to immediately drink after. I'm really reactive to her massage because my face is also flushed for a couple of hours thereafter, though my kids think I have (blush) make-up on; apparently, my skin is "glowing" according to my youngest. My husband says I look more youthful. ;-) Services Offered (as of 03/2025): Deep Tissue, Swedish, Thai, Lomi Lomi, Stretch Therapy, Neuromuscular, Cranial Sacral, Lymphatic, Sports, Cupping, Prenatal/Post Partum, Seniors.

How does massage help in my recovery? It relaxes muscles (easing the tension around my injury), boosts blood flow (I typically feel lightheaded, like I'm floating after the session), breaks down scar tissue (maintaining flexibility for PT). While I feel some soreness, it's a good pain; I'm generally more flexible for a few days & can work a little harder in my PT sessions. Massage By Jaqu & Cait has great hours, open 7 days/week. I've only worked with Jaqu, & booked mostly after work & on weekends. Jaqu is an amazing masseuse... professional, friendly, intuitive hands, & superb physical stamina!! She's a mom of 3, & works from her basement unless she's on call for a home visit. What makes her so great is... her technical skills in knowing your anatomy & applying adaptive pressure without it being jarring on your body; actively listening either by voice (when I say I'm in too much pain) or by touch (when I flinch because my body can't handle the pressure), & adjusts accordingly; superb physical stamina from start to finish (the ending fades in a slow down finish, switching to slightly lighter pressure to calm & relax my body). If you're looking for a professional & intuitive expert masseuse, I highly recommend Jaqu at Massage By Jaqu & Cait!! She'll help you disconnect from the outside world, physically relax, & detox your body!

I've been getting bodywork from Jaqu, and what I appreciate most is her decompression series and…read morethe focused work she does on my upper thoracic spine. I have a habit of rounding my shoulders forward, and I tend to develop some kyphosis through my upper back. Between driving long hours and working in a warehouse, my posture really takes a hit. Her work doesn't just feel good in the moment -- it actually helps correct the tension patterns I build up from daily life. The decompression work opens my chest, restores mobility in my upper back, and gives my shoulders the reset they need. It's become crucial for me to stay functional and keep up with the physical demands of my job. Bodywork isn't a luxury for me anymore -- it's maintenance. And with Jaqu, I know I'm getting targeted, intelligent care that keeps me moving.

I've experienced both and have experienced both with tremendous effect. Her body work is more than just a massage, but she uses effective mechanisms to manage chronic pain that goes deeper than "rubbing muscles". Her energy work is also very transformative in unobtrusively addressing emotional trauma that is generated into physical pain we find in our bodies. It's healing on a 360 level. She's kind, thoughtful, generous, and effective. I couldn't recommend her more.

My mobility has increased in several areas, certain stretches feel much better, and I overall feel less stiff and more balanced after sessions.
