We miss her... but our loss is your gain! Taniya's work is slow, deep and muscle specific. She is a massage detective and strives to get to the root of a problem. Her knowledge of the body is extensive as she's also very into fitness and nutrition. I'm a massage therapist myself and very picky about the work I receive and sadly, often underwhelmed. Taniya won me over immediately when I mentioned a chronic back issue and she said she'd like to work on my Psoas! Yes! Get ready for some great Massage Therapy! She'll educate you on how to feel your best between massages as well. You're in very good hands with this woman!

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.

I bought a Groupon from this business 3 years ago and tried to write a review but this business was…read morenot listed here.. so glad that it finally is up. I made a mistake when I purchased this coupon. Well two mistakes.. The first mistake i made is i left a negative review here against the another massage business that shares the same building as this person not realizing they were 2 totally different business!!So Sorry Have since had that review removed. The second mistake i made was purchasing a Groupon from this business. When I called the voice mail was always full so I could not leave a message to book a appointment and i tried for months. Then when I finally did get through to leave a message (2 months of trying) it took another 2 weeks for anyone to call back. When they did call back I was told the person that owns this business had broken her foot and was not taking any appointments, but there was another massage therapist that was willing to honor my Groupon but it was my choice if i wanted to wait, get a refund or see a different massage therapist. I said i would wait, but i did not receive any other calls from this place so after fighting with Groupon I finally got my money back.. So i wanted to set the record straight here

I met Altranise through local moms when she donated her chair massage services to a wonderful…read morefundraiser for a family in need. That defines Altranise--giving. When she started Anise Moon in Latham, I couldn't wait to book an appointment, but my mom was visiting and I wanted to treat her first. She had a great experience, but I'll let her share her own story. Months later I was finally home and in a place where I could take a little time for pampering. Altranise was easy to book with and very nice when I got there. My only complaint is that the location is a little hard to find (it's super easy to drive to, but the address wasn't visible), but while I was there, the landlord was installing a sign for The Wellness Cottage now that all of the rooms are filled. Voila--fixed! Altranise made me feel very comfortable and I could tell she was genuinely interested in my past and current health to inform her work. The room was really comfortable and my 90 minute massage was heaven. She knew the exact areas I needed more attention on and I felt like she had the perfect amount of pressure. I only wanted a normal Swedish massage--I'm wimpy and can't handle deep tissue, but I know she would be great working however her client needed help, she really listens. I will definitely go back and my company is talking to Anise Moon about hiring her to do chair massage for the team at the office!

I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a high quality message.
