I have been seeing Elayne for almost a year now for issues surrounding my hip and some other areas. I can put your mind at ease if you are wondering if she is really that good because she is Amazing. To give you some perspective, I am a middle aged male who works in IT and is very physically active. I coach wrestling in a nearby school as this was my sport throughout most of my early years through college. I am used to pain and enduring through stuff but as I get older things just don't bend and twist like they used to - Pretty sure this sounds like most of us - Aging! Well my hip has been a problem over the past few years and was at a point that I was debating just stop coaching but the kids didn't want to hear my sob story. I reached out to Elayne and she agreed to see me at the spa she worked at. My first impression when I saw Elayne was how is this tiny woman ever going to get through and make a difference. Like most therapist, she talked to me in great detail about the problem and issue I was having. After that first session, review is on Yelp under the Blue Spa in DC, let's just say Elayne made a huge difference. I setup another appointment a few weeks later, had to take some time to let what work she did, work into my system and as well have to work and coach. Our next appointment was at her home office, where I felt more at ease versus being at a spa. Elayne again remained focused and attentive to my body's response with the pressure she was using. Again, after this appointment more relief but not 100%, 100% better than when I before I saw her. It's just the injury and being in the middle of the season, we both agreed that once the season was over she could stay in front of the problem versus right now is just providing relief. I saw Elayne a few more times before the end of the season and each time the issue was getting better. The season ended and I have been able to see Elayne a few more times so she could stay in front of the problem. I just finished another appointment with her and let me say that here in a few weeks our season begins again and this coach is 100%. As I said in my previous review, Elayne hands are truly a gift that she is blessed with and is able to tune in your body so it is in harmony. Elayne is heading out to California after the summer to attend a course to better her skills and provide more services options to us - out of tune people. I don't just recommend Elayne, I would say that if you are able to get an appointment you are blessed. She is very professional, never rushed, not overpriced, and really has a gift with her hands. I know many of you are thinking, magical hands or she is attentive to how your body reacts - big deal. Elayne is as I already said very professional, attentive, focused but she does have a gift in that tiny body of hers that honestly her hands do make you feel better. Still wondering if Elayne is that good, I recommend that you call her and schedule an appointment and see for yourself. What you will find is that you now have a therapist who will actually listen to your issues and concerns and focus on those as well help with other things. Elayne is not good, she is simply Amazing.

Please, I beg you to do yourself a favor and book a few massage sessions with Elayne at the very least! I had been suffering from stomach issues for years. It got to the point where I would have a hard time digesting food once a week. This was incredibly debilitating, I couldn't work, study, sometimes I couldn't move. Constant headaches were in there as well. I went to quite a few doctors and they couldn't figure it out, until I did a very expensive endoscopy and the doctor told me it was stress. I thought this made no sense, I am very busy but my life is great, it can't be this stressful. The opportunity to visit Elayne presented itself and it couldn't have been more of a blessing. No more headaches, no more stomach issues, I have more time to work, I can move easier. Even driving became easier due to the facility of moving my neck. Elayne knows what she is doing extremely well. Her goal is to promote health and well being. This is NOT A LUXURY, ITS A NEED. especially for people like me who are very busy. Elayne is able to explain why there is tension, what it means, how she will get rid of it and what you can do during the week to have a healthier lifestyle. I would say that my health is PRICELESS. If your health is priceless as well, you should book an appointment right now and stop suffering, like I wish I had many years ago. read more

I haven't had a massage in a long time, and due to a low back/knee sprain, I decided to get one. I came across this therapist through my search on google. And I'm so glad that I went to Elayne's massage practice. She asked the right questions and educated me on the tingling that I had been experiencing in one of my legs (pinched nerve). Everything she said made sense. Elayne was very professional and kind. As for the massage.... wow all I can say is I slept well that night, she is skilled! She even found areas that needed attention, that I forgot to mention to her. And the sleep I mentioned earlier was such a deep sleep that I could still feel the effects of the massage the next day lol. I shared my experience with friends and family immediately after my time there. That's how awesome Elayne is! I'll be back. Go see for yourself. read more

Elayne is amazing! Knows exactly what she's doing and focuses on every single part of your body. She knows how to pinpoint your problem areas and works her way into fixing it. I've never been the one to like deep tissue because it's extremely painful to me, but she gradually worked on me to the point where I can actually handle the deep tissue massage (in my problem areas). I always tell everyone that her hands are literally made of love and magic! I absolutely recommend her! I go every 2 weeks, but am considering to now go once every week. I highly recommend her, you won't be disappointed! Also, the ambiance and setup is so peaceful, clean and beautiful! I love every bit of my experience! From beginning to end! I am so grateful that I found her. read more

I have been practicing dentistry for 24 years now. As time has past, I started to develop lower back pain from improper posture. The pain had been getting progressively worse until it was almost unbearable. My primary doctor and back specialist recommended surgery. I did not do it. I tried a chiropractor but the pain continued. Finally, Elayne, with her healing hands, worked on my back and right away my back was feeling much better. I have continued to go to her religiously to the point where I don't feel hardly any more back pain. Not only did she relieved me of my back ache but she has released my mental stresses. She is an overall healer. Anyone, that goes to her will not be disappointed. She truly is a total professional, The Real Deal!! read more

I can't recommend Elayne enough. She is truly exceptional at what she does. I've been seeing her for lymphatic and therapeutic massages for years, and I feel better every time I leave. I've also noticed visible changes. I look less bloated and more refreshed. What really sets her apart is her deep knowledge of health and wellness. She shares helpful, realistic tips on habits and practices that support your overall well-being, so the benefits go beyond the session itself. She also creates a calm, welcoming environment that makes the entire experience feel restorative. You can tell she truly cares about her clients. If you're thinking about booking, do it. She's the best. read more

I rarely write reviews, but I wanted to take a moment to provide my sincerest recommendation for Elayne at My Willow Care. I met here about 3 years ago during my search to locate a therapist that could help relieve back pain that required quarterly steroid injections. After the first couple of sessions, Elayne identified the true cause of the pain and implemented a treatment plan that not only eliminated the source of pain but also stretched and strengthened the area allowing me to return to exercising and other outdoor activities. Elayne has a gift and a passion for helping people and I am grateful our paths crossed, and I was able to benefit from her gift. read more

Elayne offers therapeutic massages that is filled with warmth, compassion, and healing. I have tried other massage therapists in DC and MD but none came close to what Elayne offers. She has helped me work through unprocessed trauma and grief. Each of her massages has helped in my healing journey and I look forward to the next massage. I have also recommended Elayne to a Bethesda Chevy Chase wrestling coach who experienced tremendous back pain during practice in 2019 who shared his healing experience. I would highly recommend Elayne to anyone who really wants to heal!! read more

I can't stop saying good things about Elayne and My Willow Care! When I arrived for my massage I knew I was in for a treat! The warm welcome and friendly conversation made me feel at home. I was welcomed with a delicious therapeutical tea. The massage session is in a warm and peaceful private room. Elayne's knowledge and professionalism are top notch. When my session was over I felt nice and relaxed. My experience at My Willow Care couldn't have been better. I can't wait for my next massage session! read more

I can't say enough good things about Elayne. I'm extremely picky - I once had an inappropriate practitioner, and it made me feel on guard with everyone after that. However, with Elayne, I always feel safe and in caring hands. She is genuinely considerate as well as physically intuitive. I have started having weekly massages for the first time in my life, something I wouldn't stretch my budget for if I didn't like Elayne so much. Her massages are the perfect combination of body work and indulgence. read more

Elayne is ah-mazing. She has the most positive energy and you truly feel the difference when you go to My Willow care vs others places. She is a one-woman show and takes incredible care of each and every customer. You feel so especial when you go in there and are not just another number. I have gone to other places where they usher you in and out and the results are just not as good. Elayne gets to know personally. I highly recommend My Willow Care Spa. I love her hands magic amazing soft. read more

Elayne is the best massage therapist I have ever gone to. I have been to a many places and use to work at a spa, she is by far the ONLY person who has focused on the needs of my muscles. She is dedicated to fixing your body to the best of her ability. I tried one other place after going to Elayne and I regretted that ever since. I will be a loyal patron until she retires! Thank Elayne, you are literally the best! read more

Elayne has healing hands!! She was extremely caring and provided me with much needed relief! Right now I'm going through a package for lymphatic massages (After surgery)and it's unbelievable how your body heals faster and reacts with such help from it (Elayne's hands)!! It helped eliminate fluid around surgery area and the swelling was greatly reduced!! Very grateful for everything! Thank you Elayne! read more

Elayne is exceptional in every way! after moving back from SoCal, it has been hard to find a well-rounded, highly experienced, and passionate therapist in the DMV area for the right price! Finally!!! Thank you again! after my first session yesterday, I slept like a baby and already pain-free today. I will be a regular going forward :) read more

I have NEVER left a business with tears of joy. It was a 90 minute experience. I asked myself a couple of times, "Where am I?" To be in the hands of a fellow dedicated care giver is a huge blessing. Ms. Rosa is extremely gifted and the first gift for my BD. I feel great! read more
