Would you like to feel so relaxed that your hair looks better AFTER your massage than before? Because I have the solution for you: Heather. I scheduled an hour massage with Heather (from a gift card) and I've had massages for years so I had a general expectation. We did the meet and greet, I filled out paper work. She asked what I needed and since I live in my body every day - I don't always have the beat on what's off.

It's just. how I am. Do I have pain? Or is this just how my shoulders feel? She starts and almost immediately offers a suggestion: she could rush through a few things and get to the whole body (as I had requested) or she could work on my back to get things where they need to be. Reader, I am telling you: it was the best massage I've ever had. So I went back, this time for 90 minutes so she could still focus on problem areas but also have enough time to get to everything and it was sublime.

There are no other words. I sleep the best sleep of my life after a massage from Heather. I feel so blissed out and "right". She is a boss and a master at her craft. Don't take my word for it: try for yourself. You will not regret it.

Tammy is a talented massage therapist, also a genuine and wonderful person. Her massage has the perfect combination of therapeutic and relaxation components to it. She spent extra time on the area that needed attention. I felt light and relax afterwards. Will definitely be back.

So I pulled my back yesterday and my boss called them, left a message because they weren't open that early. She received a call back as soon as they did and I was in by 10 am. The massage therapist did her job and I was able to finish my work day. Thank you I will return soon. Great clean atmosphere
