I have been seeing Jo Downing Groth ever since I taught her daughter at Stivers and she was so gracious to give me a gift certificate for a free massage for Christmas . My body has been my instrument my entire life. I was a professional dancer with Cinn Ballet in the seventies and have taught ballet and fitness my since 1981. I have had many injuries and therefore many massage therapists over the decades but none like Jo !! She is truly gifted and can find muscle groups that were tight and pulling on other areas and is able to work it out. She recommends stretches for my achy knee that keeps it functioal. My monthly massage with Jo is essentiol for my functioal well being and I am so thankful to have Jo !!! Thank you Jo !! Karen Hochwalt read more

I bought a groupon for an hour massage and it was great. Melinda really catered to my needs and checked in regarding pressure a few times throughout my hour. I'm gonna need to go back soon! read more

This was honestly the best massage I have ever had!! I was warm the entire time - in the past I got cold because the air in other places are too cool! Jo Downing-Groth knew exactly how to help me and even gave me some advice on how to stretch! I will definitely be going back!! read more

I've been going to Jo for years. She is amazing. Always so helpful with whatever new ailments I come in with! I've brought my mother and various friends to Jo. Whether they prefer "gentle" or "rough", they've all been happy with her work. She's helped me with general back pain and something that resembled plantar fasciitis, and helped my best friend with her TMJ. I also really like the online scheduling system. read more

I spent all week getting excited and preparing to be able to come here for a massage. The staff didn't show up, no one answered their phones, and I wasted over an hour of my time. Now I cannot get anyone to call me to refund the money I have already paid for the appointment. Very disappointing experience to say the least. read more

This place will heal you. Jo gave me 60 minutes and relieved me of great pain in my shoulders and neck. Lovely woman , strong hands and a healing soul read more

I've been going to Jo for more than 15 years for massage. She's helped me recover from back pain and several surgeries, as well as the rigor of training for 6 half marathons. She's incredibly talented and knowledgeable - and has attracted other fabulous practitioners into her new space. Highly recommend! read more

Jo is amazing! I've gone to her now for over ten years, and she is always so completely in-tune with exactly what is happening to your body and always knows how to fix it. Her massages are a perfect balance between enough pressure to be restorative and give you long-term correction of muscular/fascial issues, but not so much pressure that it's a completely miserable or painful experience. I am an athlete who has undergone multiple surgeries for several injuries, so I am incredibly picky about who I will let work on me. I live in Cincinnati now so I don't get to see Jo as much as I would like to, but I still always refer anyone in the vicinity to her. read more

I regularly attend the Sunday night "joga" classes for the past year, and have also gotten massages from Jo and had one chiropractic adjustment and one private yoga session at the studio. I can't recommend this practice more. Jo has assembled a team of practitioners who are skilled, client-focused, evidence-based and honest. I have mostly seen Jo, who is an incredible massage therapist with a wholistic perspective and great attention to detail. The small yoga classes means Jo can tailor the practice to who is in the class, and she can always tell exactly what our bodies need that week. Right now I'm in the coaching/wellness program and it's really helping me set healthy habits. read more

Jo is amazing. She is so knowledgeable and has a gift for what she does. She takes the time to get to know you. I've been seeing her for years! My favorite fix for discomfort while pregnant. read more

I absolutely love Jo! She does an amazing job of taking care of your entire body during a massage as well as offering helpful ways to continue to care for your body! I have been going to her for over six years and won't go to anyone else for a massage!! She's the best! read more

Jo is simply the best out there!! Her skills and mindset can change your life!! Trust her and her business.. you wont be disappointed!!!@

If you want your muscles WORKED, this is the place for you. Whether it be from injury or simply over work, She really works tense muscles. Not really a "spa" type of atmosphere, but it's not advertised that way, so you know that going in. Fantastic and I'll definitely be going back. read more

came looking for a Therapeutic massage. Jo NOT only did not give me a therapeutic massage, she did not listen to the type of massage I wanted. I asked for a blanket as I was covered in only a sheet and she had the air conditioner on. She said ok.. and turned off the air but didn't give me a blanket. Her massage was like someone barely putting lotion on your skin ... she SAID she was doing trigger point therapy, which I did not ask for and did NOT like as it was as if she was jabbing me with her finger and just leaving it there with no intention. I highly do NOT recommend if you are looking for deep pressure massage that feels good and calming...I was more stressed on the table then before I came into the room!! read more

I went to Jo when u was pregnant a little over a year ago. She did an amazing job and helped relieve a lot of back pain. We had great conversation too! read more

As a photographer I suffer from a lot of back pain from shooting and editing. Jo is an amazing massage therapist and knows what she is doing for sure! She even gives me tips of what I can do at home to keep my back feeling it's best. I have gone to several others places to get massages before, but now I go to Jo because she is very knowledgeable and thorough. I strongly recommend getting a massage from her. You will feel amazing afterward! read more

I have been taking yoga from Jo for over a year now and see wonderful results in my strength, core and balance! She is extremely knowledgeable about physiology/anatomy and very helpful throughout the sessions. I would highly recommend her classes which are a fabulous value! read more

Jo is the best. She is patient but appropriately pushes you to exceed your expectations of yourself. She is very knowledgeable and uses a no nonsense approach. I have made so much progress physically because of her teachings. I highly recommend her for both yoga (joga) and massage therapy. read more

I purchased the deal through living social and Joga Somatic Arts for a 90 min massage. I scheduled an appt 45 days out. When I showed for the appt, there was no one at the business. I arrived 5 min before my appt and called to confirm. No one answered and I left a message. 10min past my appt time, I called again, still no answer and I left another message. At 30 min past my appt time, I left one final message to call me and reschedule. 3 weeks and 2 emails later, I still have not heard from Jo at Joga Somatic Arts. No apology, No rescheduling options, nothing... not even a phone call or reply to my email. Very Shady!! read more
