I cannot say enough great things about my experience at Elemental Compass! We recently moved to the…read morearea and I was looking for a good therapist in TC who specifically does Myofacial Release. I booked my first appointment online with Beverly which was super convenient and a must as I usually plan my schedule late at night. Admittedly I was skeptical as I have tried many therapists over the last decade and beyond...only to be disappointed or feeling "meh" about the massage. I'm happy to say my search is OVER! Yay for me..and possibly you too! Bev is AMAZINGLY talented at what she does and very knowledgeable. BEST massage I have literally EVER had in my life! I'm serious...and no I'm not being paid to say this..lol. I already feel so much better and see improvement with long standing back/neck pain. The location is also convenient and is neat, clean and quiet...with a cute shop in the reception area. I have not tried other therapists at Elemental compass, but I am sure they are great too with Beverly at the helm:) I have already scheduled my next 4 massages. Almost hesitate to give this review as I want to keep her..and her schedule...all to myself!

I was set up with a great person who knew what I was dealing with and could apply the right pressure, and move me comfortably through stretches my body needed. I was quite sore that evening despite what would say was gentle pressure, but I knew it was the result of getting good treatment. The next day, I woke up feeling so much better. Sciatica can't be healed over night, but the muscles around the inflamed area were released and allowed my nerves and blood to move freely through the rest of the area. I realize I need massage more frequently through the year, so I will be back.

I was having chronic back pain during my travels in Michigan, so I contacted Living Light Massage…read morefor an appointment. There was a spot that worked for both parties, so I booked it and entered the studio the following morning. The receptionist wasn't extraordinarily pleasant, but I didn't judge the place on her demeanor, given she wasn't providing me the massage. After a somewhat longer wait (about 15 minutes), Allison greeted me and we went into the massage room. She was somewhat matter-of-fact in asking a few questions, but not in any way rude or inappropriate. When she stepped out, I disrobed and waited for her to re-enter. I will say that the deep tissue massage Allison gave in the next 60 minutes was one of the most therapeutic experiences I have ever had- she put her heart and soul into working out the knots and sore muscles that I had. Her strong massaging and stroking of my back, hips, neck, and shoulders nearly put me into tears, but in a very good way. She asked several times if the pressure was too much, and asked me to let her know if she needed to let up a bit- just like how a professional and competent masseuse should always inquire to a client during deep-tissue. In quick summary, when she had completed the massage on me, I felt like paradise had come down and rested on my body- I felt so relaxed and much less sore. It was an almost out-of-body experience. Upon checking out, I made sure Allison was tipped well-beyond what I usually give, simply because she went well above and beyond what most masseuses provide. Thank you again for making this a special experience- I will certainly return to this studio when I'm back in the area!

I went here on a whim due to experiencing some back pain. Upon arrival I informed the massage…read moretherapist that I only wanted to focus on my back, neck and shoulders and to avoid my legs and feet. I was very specific about this which is what I made sure to say something right away. In my mind, I only had an hour and wanted to use the time wisely. Unfortunately for me the massage therapist did not listen and completely ignored my request at all. She spent about 75% of the time on my lower back (which was tight and needed work), 20% of the time on my legs and only 5% of the time on my upper back (which is where my pain was located). To top everything off she used a hand held massage tool on me for 5-10 min. If I wanted that I would have purchased that device for myself. Needless to say I left the office feeling no better than when I went in. I do not recommend and will never be going back. I have had many massages in my life and this is one of the worst experiences I've ever had.
