You might know Tele Raack better as local Twitter maven @BIGstLittleCity or @WomanWifeMomMe. Funny enough, Tele and I didn't meet on Twitter: we met in the real world as hospice-volunteers-in-training. Tele is an amazing person: wife and mother of six, hospice volunteer, prolific Twitterer. She even sells crafts on Etsy! Tele also has amazing hands: she's a licensed massage therapist. She recently opened her new massage studio in a cozy office on the corner of Plumas and Plumb. Her studio is in an office complex built to resemble little cottages, so for those uncomfortable with the idea of letting their guard down for a massage, her location conveys a solid sense of professionalism yet isn't the least bit cold or clinical. From the moment you walk in the door of Tele's studio, say "aaahhh." The walls are painted wasabi green -- that's literally the name of the paint color. She has elegant Asian-themed wall hangings, bubbling fountains, soothing music and extra-soft sheets. Tele truly has great hands. I marveled at all the different hand movements she did, and how gentle she was. (At one point she asked me if I wanted to try harder and I said yes, but after one or two moves I couldn't take it!) It was a VERY thorough massage, and I still feel great a day later. I just wish I'd done my usual yoga first so I could get maximum benefit. Tele has a specific interest in massage for hospice patients, as well as geriatric patients. If you need healing hands for someone who's older and not well, she can help. If I were you, I'd book your massage with Tele tout suite. She knows a lot of people and is an excellent marketer. I bet you won't be able to get time with her in a year. read more

Tele Raack, LMT - Tele Raack LMT - Massage Near Me - Reno, Nevada

From the first visit, I noticed Tele is a very warm person, very caring, and has an intuitive touch. It was easy to forget about the day's stresses once my massage began. Also, the atmosphere in her relatively new studio is perfect and subtle enough not to distract. It is very tastefully decorated. If you are in need of a true escape and total relaxation, you need to schedule a massage with Tele. If you need a deep tissue therapeutic massage focused on one area, you need to schedule a massage with Tele. In short, she is totally responsive to what you need, no matter what it is. If you are looking for a quality, professional massage, I cannot recommend her enough. read more

Thank you Tele, for changing my pain to comfort, once again. You are very skillful and caring,a and always seem to know just what spot to hit! read more

I have gotten a few massages from Tele with the same result: pure relaxation! Tele takes extreme care to make the entire experience relaxing and comfortable. The lighting is soft, the music soothing and there is always a sweet smell in the office. It's so relaxing, I have actually fallen asleep once during a massage :) As for the massage itself, Tele has the right balance of soft and firm. Enough pressure to work out the kinks but not to much that you walk out feeling like you got beat up. Every appointment she asks me about my problem spots and makes sure to work them out. I have not gotten a massage from everyone in Reno but I would bet that you won't fine anyone as sweet and caring as Tele. read more

I went to see Tele a few weeks ago, and was not pleased at all with my experience. She did not provide a variety of massages(seemed she only knew one), and didn't get the area that I was having the most pain in, even though I told her about it. I found her through Yelp reviews, but she did not meet the exceptional standards that the others had claimed about her. It seems her reviews are a bit over glorified, either that ,or they're fake. I would definitely not recommend Tele to anyone that needs a therapeutic massage, if you want an overpriced relaxation massage, then help yourself. read more

Tele gives a first class massage, and she is a first class person. Very professional yet warm and caring. Tele made me feel very comfortable. She had a few techniques I've never gotten before from a massage (e.g. abs). An hour with Tele was a tremendous stress release. Highly recommend! read more

I flippin adore Tele! :) Honestly! I'm pasting a part of a piece I wrote about Tele for my newsletter and I hope it helps you understand how truly great she is! Thanks!: "Everyone deserves to take a little "Me" time. Everyone. Unfortunately not everyone knows how to do this or what they should do with that time. I am one of those people! Every day we clean, we cook, we work, we plan, we organize, we spend time with our families... and while this is what we do and what we love, some forget to take time out for themselves. What we do is important and a vital part of our lives, however we can't do this if we are getting burned out. Personal time, relaxation time is important to each person and, believe it or not, incredibly vital to our physical and mental well-being as well. ...Tele Raack, LMT understands the mind and body's need to relax and feel at peace. ...From the moment you meet Tele, you'll feel how kind and caring she truly is. Personally, I'm one of those people who can be very self conscious and the idea of lying down on a table and getting a massage from someone I'd just met was nerve wracking. I know that sounds terrible but can honestly follow it up with saying that the moment I met her and shook her hand, I started to relax. Not only is she professional, but her warm, kind and incredibly caring personality is so strongly evident by her friendly greeting. It is more than obvious she is an individual who takes the time and effort to ensure her clients are calm and comfortable." read more

Tele is a warm, wonderful, kind individual. You are in good hands when you get a relaxing massage from Tele.

this women has magic in her hands. I felt energy coming out of them the moment the massage began....go see her!

I am not a regular consumer of massage but can report 100% satisfaction with my recent experience with Tele. The result was the wonderful relaxation and calm I sought. Tele was as professional and effective as I can imagine. Her "office" was as pleasant and tasteful as it could be. Overall, a terrific experience! Highly recommended. read more

I went to see Tele Raack while I was in Reno due to a death in the family. I tweaked my sciatic nerve and was in a lot of pain but didn't know anyone in Reno so went by Yelp reviews. Having received many massages over the years, I'm sorry to say that I was very disappointed in the massage. Tele was nice but she seems to have only one type of massage - somewhat relaxing but definitely not therapeutic. I kept hinting about where the sciatic pain was but she didn't seem to get it. Even as a relaxing massage I would rate it as only mediocre. Also, some people might think this is a minor point but she didn't have a table warmer so instead used a room heater that made the room really stuffy. After that massage, I found another therapist through Yelp (you can see my review there) and he was excellent - really help me a lot. read more

Tele's professionalism and manner with which she conducts business is so impressive. She balances this with genuine concern and caring for other people. That's really a quality of a massage therapist that is often overlooked but so very important. I have the utmost respect for her; highly recommend! read more
