I was recommended to T by a physical therapist I was seeing for rotator cuff surgery, which I…read morethought was pretty impressive. I've worked with T on my rotator cuff, and then after when I needed labrum and tenodesis surgeries. My surgeon gives credit to the work I did and also to T. She is extremely intuitive - she can touch my body and tell immediately where I am tight or need work. Her wrok is amazing, and I feel incredible when she is done. There is a spirituality to her work which leaves me with a centered and calm as well. I highly recommend T to anyone who is in pain or discomfort. I gave a massage to my husband for Christmas - he said it was the best one he got :)

Wow! I've been getting regular massages for about 10 years now, with a variety of well trained,…read morecertified masseuses. All have their own styles but there is something fundamentally lacking - they all typically take a one size fits all approach - working from the back down to the legs, then front for a bit and then wrap up. This is even with masseuses I've used many times - I'm guessing the massage establishments just train them that way. However, Karalyn combines massage with PT, really working problem areas and going hard at it. The result - you get the therapeutic benefits of the massage and the science of PT, which drives rapid recovery where you really need it. As only a rare and excellent massage can deliver, I ended light-headed and felt like jelly. As only great PT can deliver, I felt lighter on my feet afterwards with a cleaner posture and wider range of motion (and less pain and injury risk). All this from the convenience of home. Thank you Karalyn!

My whole being was neglected by self love. I can feel the heaviness of suppressing myself. I usually go to places to get a massage, but I cannot leave my situation, and since covid, the thought of being around so many people at once is negative. I found Karalyn on Yelp! I knew I wanted someone like-minded, mobile, well-rounded, and spiritual. When I saw Karalyn's pictures of her travels and the Esalan pic, PLUS the beautiful reviews. I knew I had found my HEALER. *Karaylyn* You accommodated me and made me feel safe. You were professional and respected my privacy and home. You are a great listener and know how to balance our conversation. You knew when it was time to let me rest as I fell asleep intermittently. Your hands are strong and amazing; you helped me jump-start the healing process I neglected. I am forever GRATEFUL! I am still feeling the effects of your visit. This may be TMI, but I want to let the folks know this is proof of how much of a healer you are. I started drinking water as soon as you left. Your healing hands hit all the pressure points needed to move my bowels and help relax my nerves. This was such a relief and I felt lighter and more relaxed than I have in a while. I am pleased that I chose you to assist me through my healing and looking forward to my next session with you. May you have many more blessings this lifetime gives you and so the next. Love, MAT.

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.

Being an athlete, I don't have the same mobility as I do after seeing Jasmin. I am much more flexible and much more able to stretch after her massage. She will seek out tension, pain points and knots and work through those areas accordingly. The tightness and painful areas I come in with are not always the areas she spends the most time on, but it ends up being just what I needed because those areas have the most relief afterwards. I attribute it to her knowledge of physiology. During the last session I felt deep tension released in my hips and then some nausea due to releasing stored toxins. She used amazing smelling organic medicinal oils and it took me right out of feeling sick. She's very intuitive about the work she's doing and knows when and what oils and medicinal scents to use. Her massage is very fluid. She's great at using her elbows. In fact, it's definitely the best elbow work I've ever had. She will help you relax your body through the deep work. She helps work through it with breathing and other techniques. Sometimes tricking your body with movements from her other hand while her elbow releases a trigger point somewhere else. I would not be able to relax my body without her guidance. I haven't cried on the table with her work, but if I was more tense I probably would have, so I really value the ability she has to relax the body through words and other techniques. With all of the different modalities used, tied together with a great presence, pressure and touch, it ends of being a very effective and therapeutic massage every time.

I prefer deep pressure, and she applied the perfect amount where it felt comfortable and still strong enough for me to feel something. Rung was very attentive to my needs for the day and provided a well-rounded full body massage. I was deeply relaxed at the end of the session, and I also had a better range of mobility in my neck and shoulders. I'm so happy that I was able to find a massage therapist that offered Ashi to my standards. I look forward to coming back and having Rung as my primary massage therapist here on out.

This one was the best massage of my life and I'm super picky after being in the massage and healing arts field for over 30 years. Having been a massage therapist since 1991, and working in the industry as a therapist, in massage studio management and the owner of my own body work studio... I have come to realize that not all body work is equal. Sometimes, you get touched by an angel and sometimes it's the exact opposite. Being someone who doesn't trend to get deep massage, (because of being badly beaten up in the past) I was weary to take a chance on a deep massage session. After falling down some stairs though, I was desperate for someone to get in deep. So I am very moved to write this review as Courtney provided one of the best massage sessions of my life. Ashiatsu is not just massage; it's an absolutely stunning healing art form. It's like no massage I have ever experienced in my life and EVERYONE who loves massage will be delighted to have this incredible service. Courtney provides a very comforting and warm environment, I felt comfortable, safe and her ability to feel all the tight spaces is done deftly with precision of a master body work technician. I cannot recommend her any higher, in fact all other massage pales in comparison. Thank you Courtney for blowing my mind on how amazing body work can be.

Before booking I text Courtney with questions. She couldn't have been more friendly and approachable. It was easy to book a session off her website. When I arrived and met her in-person, I could tell she was serious about her work and desire to help you. Everything about the massage was super professional. She was really good at balancing small talk while allowing me to relax. She checked in about the pressure periodically. The room was very comfortable and welcoming. Sometimes it takes me a while to get relaxed with a massage therapist I'm not familiar with. I have to say I felt pretty comfortable and relaxed the moment I laid down. That's the kind of environment she creates. As far as the massage, the best way I can think to describe it is if you like deep pressure that really works the knots and muscles, this is the way to go. It feels like really broad/wide even-pressured massage strokes. I could literally feel my shoulders and hips unlocking. Very much worth trying, if you're thinking about it!
