WOMEN, BEWARE. my experience with douglas warrants my first yelp review ever, and i'm writing it to…read moreprotect other women. I had received a massage from him once before, many years ago, and my experience at that time was uneventful. this time, however, was completely different and left me feeling violated. here is a (sadly, non-exhaustive) list of violations and inappropriate behavior i experienced at the hands of douglas: * he almost walked in on me while i was essentially naked. he'd knocked after giving me almost no time at all to change clothes, and i said, "just a moment, please." he immediately opened the door, peeked his head in, and asked, "was that a yes?" * during silence and without any context, he said, "it's good to see you again" -- *as he was pulling down my panties.* * a few minutes after that, for some reason he thought it was a good idea to inform me that he had been accused of sexual harassment -- right after he started heavily massaging my bottom. cringey. * he referred to my body as "a Maserati" -- on two separate occasions. * while he was manipulating and stretching my legs, he said, "it's not every day you get a skinny white guy manipulating your body." (I am a woman of color.) * it gets worse. toward the very end, while he was doing trigger work, he said, "press your body against my finger... *just let it slide right in... just let it slide riiiight in...*" ewww! that's when I went from feeling low-key uncomfortable to high-key icky. I feel disgusted even writing the words he said to me! that was the straw that broke the camel's back. his phrasing and emphasis struck me as wholly inappropriate, especially given that i was in such a vulnerable position. In addition to all of this, he ridiculed me for believing in chiropractic and disparaged me for wearing a mask (in his very hot, humid room with zero air circulation), telling me they don't do anything, and that besides, he won't be able to hear me as well. "well, I don't intend to talk much," I'd said. "I'm exhausted and I'm probably gonna fall asleep!" He responded with something akin to, "Ha! Well, good luck! I like to talk!" or something to that effect. And, indeed, he talked the entire time, which seemed so incredibly rude, given my stated preference. He made it abundantly clear throughout the massage that he wasn't there to respect any of my requests. For instance, he insisted that i spend part of my massage time walking up and down the hallway because he wanted to assess my gait -- never mind that i'd told him i was there for neck and shoulder work and reminded him that i'd specifically selected a massage whose description *did not* include this postural assessment. i kept resisting and he kept insisting, until it was obvious that he wouldn't accept no for an answer. i finally gave in and wasted 15-20 min of my massage time walking for him, to no benefit for myself. Furthermore, I told him before we began about the areas I wanted to focus on (entirely upper body), but ultimately he spent less than 5 minutes on all those areas combined, and even joked that he knew I had specific requests, but he was going to do the massage *his* way. This kind of mentality is dangerous and should raise red flags for all women. Even if you view the possibility of getting violated by douglas as remote, don't expect to get a relaxing massage. Not only will he talk the entire time, charge you for a 2hr massage but only massage you for an hour and spend the rest of the time griping about how little money he makes (!) and making you walk up and down the hall, but, believe it or not, he has an actual CUCKOO CLOCK in the massage room -- not even kidding. a cuckoo effin' clock! how ironic. and it somehow went off multiple times during what ended up being a 1hr massage. Not exactly anyone's idea of a relaxing massage. The next day, I scoured the web looking for other reviews of douglas outside of yelp. I found that another woman also reported feeling totally uncomfortable during her massage, and that he'd mentioned being accused of sexual harassment to her, as well. I had my credit card company reverse the charge because i refuse to pay to be violated. Multiple bodyworker friends, both male and female, are recommending I report him to the licensing agency. I do see that several women here rate him highly. I don't know how he chooses who he will respect and who he will violate. But you've been warned. Book with this person at your own risk.

My husband has had pain in his hand since he cut it a few months back that lead to an ER visit with a few stitches. He also has shoulder pains from an old high school football injury and since he drives a lot, tension in his back he wasn't even aware of until after Stella. He says all the pain is completely gone after visiting her, actually he said she had a magic touch when she massaged his hand and he could feel the pain melt away. It was his first time receiving cupping and hot stones and it was an absolute delight, perfect temperature and not painful as he thought it might be. We're already talking about bringing his grandparents for a massage and having him go for a massage more often. The price is the best in lake county for 60 minute massage with hot stones and cupping. The ability to schedule later in the day was very helpful as we both work full time jobs. We live very close by her location, but knowing she offers mobile massages is great. 100% recommend coming and will be returning. Adding to review: Middletown/Hidden Valley Lake area, she's very nice and quick with her responses. She followed up after I forgot to message her back. The space was clean as my husband would tell me if he thought otherwise, as he comes from a very clean home environment.

Not only did I release emotionally and energetically, but I felt my body release blocks and tension as well. She provided me resources and made sure to check in with me the next day to continue assisting me on this path of healing. So grateful, and a little overwhelmed honestly by how deep it went. I'm still holding it all and will work with the resources given and probably come back for another session. As someone easily prone to anxiety, I couldn't believe how warm and gentle the space felt. I felt like I could clearly and calmly speak without tension or fear. Thank you Lisa! I'll definitely be coming back. Aloha

How does anyone birth a child without taking Kelly's class?? In her empowering and grounded way,…read moreKelly would say you don't NEED the class, you will birth your baby no matter what! But let me tell you, I feel infinitely more confident and informed after taking this class, and much calmer about the process. I can't imagine heading into birth without the wisdom I gained. The content is so relevant, evidence-based, unbiased, captivating... the time flew by. Even my husband, who was a little skeptical heading into it, totally had his mind blown and is a much more informed partner about his role in labor. Kelly herself is a godsend. She has a wealth of knowledge on this complex topic and presents it in the most digestible way. She is a brilliant educator, not just a brilliant birth educator. I wish we all had a Kelly to teach us about this when we were children. Five stars does not do this justice. If you're on the fence about whether you need a birth class, just sign up. You, your partner, and your baby will all benefit tremendously.

I was anxious about taking a birthing class virtually, but Kelly really knocks it out of the park…read more She keeps the class small and conversational, covers a wide variety of topics, and ultimately helped me and my partner feel so much better prepared for the birth of our first baby. After class she sends out some great materials and reading to further prepare. Most of the class mentioned they were doing hospital births, so she was able to tailor her material to the experience we would be having at a hospital. Lots of time for questions and quality things to take away. Highly recommend!
