I am supposed to have the hip replaced in October. I decided to try a massage just to see if it would help me walk better. I went in for an hour massage and was lucky enough to get Lina. She concentrated on the knee and hip, as requested, but did the full body massage so I was totally relaxed. When she was finished my leg felt 100% better and my limp was almost gone. The results were amazing, so good I booked 90 minutes a week later. Once again, Lina did her magic and my hip and knee pain continued to decrease. My limp getting better and the aches at night diminishing. Today was my 4th time with Lina, this time 2 hours. I am walking without a limp and considering canceling the hip replacement surgery. Lina is a true professional. If you need/want a truly great massage do your self a favor and book 60-90 minutes with Lina. You'll be glad you did.

Please take a look at The Park Hotel in Lafayette. They seem to provide luxury, and not completely turn off your their customers with rudeness and No service. In fact, The Park Hotel now after their renovations, reminds me of "The Plaza" in NYC, and gives those same bougie vibes.

But she also asks questions at the beginning of a treatment, so she can get the full picture of how you're feeling and what you need. She is physically very strong, but can also sense when she needs to "tread lightly". I saw her every week when I was in my last trimester of pregnancy - she knew how to position me on the table so that even at my bulkiest, I was comfortable. And her treatments helped enormously with the joint pain, swelling, and sciatica I was having. Now that I have a small child, I find it hard to make time for myself. But when I finally do, and am reminded of how tremendously talented Christine is, I never regret it! Her studio is warm, quiet, and very conveniently located.

Leigh is really kind and a great listener. She's always paying close attention to what I need and makes recommendations for what I can do to improve my self-care.

I've had a lot of work from massage therapists over the years but she's the best I've ever worked with. She's such a lovely person, has a great touch and really knows what she's doing.

Laura has a warm and healing presence that is a balm for my stress. Her touch is highly attuned and intuitive.
