I spoke with Elmira (owner), and she was able to schedule me two days later. Elmira is A-MAZ-ING!! She does an excellent job listening to and assessing client needs. Her touch is firm, but gentle. Elmira worked out my knots without leaving me sore -- a true indicator of a great therapist! The numbness in my hands is also gone and strength has returned to my right arm. Elmira incorporated CBD oil (non-psychoactive Cannabidiol for anti-inflammation and pain relief) and Blue Tansy oil (for anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and antifungal properties) in my treatment. I purchased a bottle of CBD a week prior in Oregon, but I didn't have the time to research and try it. The products Elmira sells have a higher concentration of CBD per ml. I was glad my first experience with CBD was with Elmira, since she is extremely knowledgeable. The CBD tincture I also tried enhanced my visual perception and mental clarity for several hours after my treatment. CBD didn't impair any of my faculties. I'll definitely schedule future treatments next time I am in town. My parents also indicated they want to start attending MIRASPA -- this will be their first massages in 80-something years. The fact that l've referred my parents (and they're eager), says a lot! DETAILS: * Location = 4 stars MIRASPA is conveniently set right off of East Washington St, prior to the Route 8 intersection. I just wish MIRASPA was closer to where I live. :) * Environment = 5 stars MIRASPA is located in a house that was built in 1908 and tastefully covered to a therapeutic practice. It is warm and inviting with early 20th century charm. * Equipment = 5+ stars Elmira's massage tables are the most comfortable I've encountered. They even have breast indentations! * Price/Quality = 5+ stars MIRASPA is very reasonable considering the quality of services and products provided.

When I was finished with my session, I had the most peaceful feeling inside..a feeling I don't think I have ever felt before. I am not experiencing anxiety at all. My mind feels very clear, and my body feels lighter. Overall, I am thoroughly impressed with my 1st session. I will be returning in the near future. I recommend it to anyone needing peace and balance in their lives.

On a recommendation from my favorite hair salon, I decided to try out Lisa to pamper myself with a facial for my birthday and after going once, I've found my newest monthly expense :-) For only $50 for a regular facial with massage she pampered me with all organic materials (HUGE plus), and because its just her, I was the only client there, so it truly was a personalized quiet and relaxing experience. She spent the time to go through a consult and understand what I currently do to take care of my skin, and talk to me about what I could do better. As a result I got a more personalized facial and I can't wait to go back. I've tried the Pumpkin Masque (smells amazing and is a natural enzyme peel) and Dead Sea Mud Mask (which I think I like best!) She currently only accepts Cash or Check so be sure to hit the bank or ATM first. I'm totally going to change my expenses around so I can get this special treatment once a month!

My ONLY complaint is that you absolutely cannot book last minute because she's all booked up. Over the years I've attempted to go to other salons in the area when I can't get in with Lisa and always regret it. Don't you regret it too!!!

There wasn't anything that called my name, though. They have a lot of herbs and whatnot, if you're looking for that sort of thing. I had stopped in because this is the type of shop that often has sterling silver and/or silver + gemstone jewelry and I can't help myself. But luckily for my wallet, they didn't really have much. Didn't receive any acknowledgment when I entered from the woman working at the store, so I didn't feel quite as bad as I sometimes do about leaving after a few minutes and not buying anything.

First off, the place she works out of is really cute. She's in an old building in Orangevale and you have to take your shoes off before you enter. It's so peaceful inside that I could literally feel my energy junking things up. I guess that's a good thing though! I've done lots of groupons, but the problem is that even during massages I can't relax, and I never really find a good reason to go back. Kathleen paid attention to my shoulders like everyone does, and it hurt like it always does, but for some reason the room and the oils just helped my mind wander. I was shocked by how refreshed I felt afterward--very unusual for me! Needless to say, I'm definitely going back for her raindrop therapy. I'm still curious about reiki, but I think she is trying to ease me into the heavy-duty energy treatments and I'm not going to argue. I can't really comment on her healing powers since I just got a massage, but if the massage was any indication, she really does have something my previous therapists didn't.
