If you point her to the tense areas, she zeroes in on them and doesn't let up until they're loose. Even if you don't direct her, she seems to have a supernatural ability to find your trouble spots. Definitely recommended.

Note- the pictures posted are old. She now has an addition on her home where she does the massages, but it's very nice

I purchased a groupon many moons ago...has it been 9 years??? It was for a "True North Massage" and…read morethat's when I met Karen. I've been a loyal client of Karen's since that first massage and have literally followed her wherever she has been practicing. Karen has extraordinary instincts as a massage therapist and has expanded her practice to include cupping, Reiki and other specialized healing arts. Since she knows me so well, she understands exactly where she needs to focus and spend time. I'm usually an absolute mess by the time I can finagle my schedule to see her and need serious deep tissue help. My neck and back are a disaster and I always feel so much better when I walk out of there! Karen is REALLY strong....so if you require firm pressure, you'll get it!! (Sometimes I do tap out...seriously...but that's what this bundle of stress needs). We usually have great conversations about all different kinds of stuff since we've known each other for almost a decade. Absolutely and totally recommend a True North Massage.

I have been to many different massage locations in the past, even massage therapy that took place for many months and Lindsey stands out as one of the best.

She understands the body and genuinely cares about her clients providing thorough consultation, even recommending exercises and stretches to alleviate pain and discomfort.

She is reasonably priced (especially if you become a member) and very flexible. She never seems rushed and really gives it her all. Highly recommend to anyone in need of massage!

The pressure of the massage is always the perfect amount, where you feel like it is going to be painful, but it never gets to that point. She also does an incredible job of listening to where you may have issues and will spend additional time focusing on those areas, which is perfect. I don't live near Jackie (about 3 hours away), but go to visit family and friends in the area every couple of months. Whenever there is the opportunity to swing by and see Jackie I do it without hesitation. Serenity Massage and Facials is a really comfortable space with plenty of privacy, a private restroom in the massage area and a beautiful waiting room. The moment you step in you feel a sense of calm and your stresses melt away. I cannot speak highly enough of Jackie and her abilities. She is incredible at what she does and all you can do is leave happy!
