Touch of Gail, what a pleasant surprise! I purchased a Groupon 3 pack of 70 min massages (60 min…read morerelaxation + 10 min scalp massage) and man am I glad I did! Gail gives, hands down, the best massage I've ever had, including the massages I've had in resorts and in Asia! With that said, it's not the nicest place I've ever received a massage, but her modest room is comfortable, clean, and very relaxing. You'll enter into a small receiving area and led into her room (kind of like a bedroom). The room itself has the massage bed in the center, is dark, and has a nice candle and little waterfall thing where you can hear running water. The massage - the woman's hands are magic! Great pressure and she really works out all knots. She spends the first half of the massage on your back and then moves on to the backs of legs then flips you over to get the fronts and arms. The scalp massage isn't my favorite and I usually opt for an additional 10 mins of massage elsewhere. Most of all, she is a sweet and hard working mother. Very professional, very courteous, and made me feel very comfortable and valued.

Gail is an amazing person and a terrific massage therapist. She really gets to know your needs…read moreahead of time so that once she begins, she knows exactly what to do. I always appreciate when a therapist doesn't ask me a million times during my massage if the pressure is good, if I like what they're doing, etc. I told Gail at the beginning that I was a relaxer and liked the quiet, and she said "as long as you let me know if you don't like something, that's fine with me". I was able to just relax and enjoy. The only problem is that I wished it had last 2 hours longer, and that I could afford to go every week! I will definitely be visiting again whenever massage therapy is in my budget.

Longer Version: I've been thinking for a while that a massage would be helpful in relaxing and removing the tension that builds up with my daily computer and desk work. After surfing around, I found "The Massage Artist" DeVeer Chappell. There wasn't much info on the internet about his business (which I learned is because his current location and set-up are fairly new for him, though he's been a LMBT for a bit) and I decided to give it a try. I set up my appointment through the online booking system, which I found very convenient. I actually had to re-schedule my original appointment due to a last-minute trip but the system was easy to use with automatic confirmation and reminder emails. I adore when businesses have online booking, so this is a serious plus for me. I arrived and was welcomed within 2 or 3 minutes by DeVeer who walked me back to the massage room. He asked why I was there, if I had any problem areas and listened carefully to my answers. During the massage he chatted a little at first, I think to let me know that if I wanted to talk I was free too, but he let the conversation fade when I trailed off into relaxation mode. I found his style - a combination of Swedish and Deep Tissue to be delightful as it allowed him to concentrate on specific areas and knots in my back/shoulders but not ignore everywhere else. He was professional and knowledgeable the whole time, occasionally asking questions or requesting that I move one way or another so that the massage could continue and I was able to completely relax which was exactly what I needed. The background music was good, not too loud and went well with the atmosphere. Once my appointment was finished, he gave me ample time to regroup and redress and was courteous and businesslike when I was on my way out and paying. Overall it was a great experience and I will certainly be back again! Tip: As someone briefly mentioned on a different site, the place is slightly hard to find. This is because it appears for a sec that you can't go any further on Faringdon Pl., but keep going into the entrance of "North Bend Office Park" at the end of the cul-de-sac (the sign is low and on the left). It looks more like a row of townhouses than an office park, but you're in the right place. DeVeer's space is located in the row to your left when you enter, about 2/3 the way down. The buildings/doors have very visible numbers so once you're in the complex it's easy to figure out. Once inside, go in the door on the left for "Oasis Beauty Boutique" and you're there.

I am elated to say I was extremely impressed with DeVeer. I bought my massage off LivingSocial and…read morewasn't sure what to expect since he didn't have too many Yelp reviews. He has installed an online booking tool in order to sign up for appointments. He fills up quickly, so be sure to sign up asap if you are redeeming a voucher. I learned after my massage that he only holds a certain number of spots each week for vouchers, so he has more availability the second time you book. When I arrived I was pleasantly surprised to find his space in a row of townhomes-turned-business-park. His space was clean and provided a relaxed and calm atmosphere. First, I filled out a form and talked to him about any pain I was feeling and talked to him about where I wanted him to focus. He was both professional and attentive throughout the hour-long massage. Soothing music played in the background while I enjoyed an hour of bliss. I feel like I got the bang for buck with DeVeer. I felt so relaxed and calm when the massage was over, and I will certainly be back again. Thanks, DeVeer!

Shere used the right amount of pressure, worked the right areas, and spent time focusing on my "problem areas" to get the blood flowing. I felt great after I left and can't wait to go back again. The location address is different from what is listed above (1110 Wake Forest Rd. is the current address), but I think it is the same business. She may have moved since this listing was originally posted on Yelp. At any rate, the massage space is clean, comfortable and easy to get to from downtown where I live and work.

Since recovery, I've still enjoyed visiting her for various reasons: stress relief, muscle memory trouble, or back muscles needing some reassurance. Lindsay is solid and seriously the best to see in Raleigh or in North Carolina, for that matter, since she has worked all over. She has a way of reading muscles and target just the right spots, is a really good listener, and can also send you home with tips from her expertise as a physical trainer. Not only is she giving you sharp treatment and advice, but she genuinely cares and her scheduling is flexible and accessible with online scheduling options. I've also given sessions with her as gift cards and those I've referred have really enjoyed the treat. Highly recommend Lindsay Riggsbee and Dilwork Bodyworks.
