You would never know it was their feet. If you hadn't booked it. if you've never had your back walked on. I would say, try it here at the Nola Bliss first.

I found Bodywork by Kelly via an Amazon Daily Deal. The offer was $49 for a 75-minute massage but Amazon sweetened the deal by offering an additional $10 off...how could I resist? After calling twice on Friday, once on Saturday and again on Monday and leaving a couple of massages, I wondered if I was going to have to call Amazon to request a refund. But Kelly got back to me early Tuesday morning and my appointment was scheduled. Bodywork by Kelly is located inside a nail and facial salon and I was greeted immediately by the other ladies working there. When we met, Kelly's down to earth personality immediately made me glad I hadn't requested a refund from Amazon. She was very friendly yet professional and came across as someone who knows what she's doing. What's more, she worked on the area I complain about most, my neck and traps. Kelly has very strong hands and she was sure to check in every once in a while as to whether or not the pressure was too deep. It was damn near perfect! And while Kelly was concerned that there may have been soreness the next day, I was fine. Of course, my neck and back are like bricks, so it takes a lot to hurt me...LOL I left her office feeling like I had actually had a massage. As a matter of fact, I rescheduled another massage before leaving. Unfortunately, there was a scheduling conflict on my part and I haven't had a chance to reschedule. But make no mistake, I will definitely return for some more Bodywork by Kelly! read more

I have experienced back problems my entire life and have pursued natural treatment as opposed to injections and surgery. I have pursued chiropractic and massage treatment along with acupuncture. I can honestly say the most effective results have been with Kelly. She takes time to understand your issue and adjusts treatment accordingly. Not only is she flexible and effective with her treatment but she has also suggested a few additional exercises and stretches helping in reducing my discomfort. She spent additional time with me after my session to demonstrate and gauge effectiveness of her suggestions. Awesome is all I can say. I highly recommend her and will continue my sessions with her. read more

As a former massage therapist, I know the difference between a good massage and an okay one. Kelly is the only one for me. She goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable and she creates a relaxing, calming environment for massage. She makes a point of "checking in" with you while you're on the table. She can deliver serious pressure when it's needed. But, she can also perform a soothing, relaxing massage. Additionally, she is very knowledgeable about various therapies. I won't waste money on an inferior massage with someone else again. I just hope she stays in the area. If she moves I will literally be hurting. :-) read more

Kelly is an amazing massage therapist who is able to determine just the right style and type of massage to help whatever happens to be ailing. As a competitive athlete, I find that my needs range from heavy duty athletic/sports massage to relaxation therapy.

Well Body Studio

BEST MASSAGE IN NEW ORLEANS! I've been going to Tam at Well Body Studio for massages for 5 years…read morenow (Swedish, Therapeutic, and Prenatal), and I count my lucky stars every day that I found her. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I refer all my family and friends to her, and they continue to have nothing but glowing reviews. Here are some things I love about massages with Tam: 1.) Tam eases you into a massage. Instead of diving into the most painful knot or problem area first thing with full force, she reminds you to breathe and guides you toward a place of relaxation first so that your muscles are more primed to receive more focused pressure. I struggle with anxiety and cannot tell you how important it is that I feel relaxed and safe BEFORE i can enjoy or benefit from a massage. Tam knows how to do this. She is thorough, she is deliberate, and she takes her time so that you never feel that anything is being rushed. This allows you to actually relax and get the most out of the therapy. (She also gives very calm and clear guidance on what to do: when I need to roll over, or adjust my positioning, or what to do before the massage starts, or when it is over. This helps you relax further by limiting opportunities for confusion and awkwardness.) 2.) Tam is a magician with pressure. She is strong, but adapts her pressure based on the area of the body and the body's muscle response. She's always keenly attuned to me and how my body is responding, and i've never had to ask her to adjust her pressure. That said, she also verbally checks in with you to make sure that the pressure feels right and encourages you to speak up if anything needs to be changed or addressed. 3.) Tam doesn't talk through your massage. She lets you relax into your bliss and detach. That said, if you WANT to talk or have a question or concern, she is happy to engage in conversation. She lets you guide the talking piece. 4.) Tam is both confident and humble in her work. She is highly skilled, highly perceptive, does a thorough intake before the massage, and quickly makes you feel comfortable. And she ALSO listens to what you need and how your body/situation may be different. She adjusts based on your needs and is open to your thoughts. 5.) I feel SO rejuvenated after a massage with Tam. It's as if i've also been through a meditation, Reiki session, restorative yoga, deep stretch, and blissful sleep all at the same time. Don't waste your money at the fancy spas in town. Trust me, i've been to them all. Tam is the only massage therapist you'll ever need.

I needed super deep treatment and she really focused on the the 2 areas I told her were in pain. My issues aren't completely healed - I'm beyond an hour of work, but WOW...
