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 back story: exhausted from working every day non-stop with no complete rest as a live-in…read morecaregiver since Oct 12, 2022, because we are short staff, and it is very challenging finding the best match. 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.

She always asks if I have an area I want to focus on but is also adept at identifying areas to focus on as needed throughout the massage. She is able to adapt to the style and pressure you need (I like strong pressure, which she is fantastic at achieving). Jess is great at creating a relaxing space and environment, and I always feel wonderful after my massages. She has an in-depth knowledge of anatomy and what may be causing issues in different areas, and is always willing to suggest exercises and stretches that will help with pain and tightness I am feeling. Communication is a breeze as she is super responsive, and she always sends me a reminder text the day before (very much appreciated). I can't recommend Jess highly enough - everyone should see her!
