I had a massage this afternoon from Marcia at New Moon, and it was easily one of the best massages I have ever had! Marcia has a light touch, but it magically relaxed all of my knotted muscles far better than any deep tissue massage ever could. I visit this area from Pittsburgh about four times a year, and you can bet that a massage by Marcia will be on the agenda every time from now on!

Phenomenal massage with Marcia Renne. Her complete therapeutic intuitive session gave my body the rehabilitation it needs. I am looking forward to my next session in 2 weeks.

Friendly, professional, skilled and thorough. Great communication for appointments, too! Hundreds of massages over the years, these folks are doing it right. As long as you communicate your troubles, they'll do their best to help. Sara is great at her craft.

Shout out to Holly. I didn't go to get a massage, but to learn Holly's story. She is very gentle, quiet, and humble. I purchase several products. If you're looking for a local massage therapist definitely give Holly a buzz.

I was given a gift certificate to New Moon by my supervisor. I scheduled an appointment and went for services today. They were all very inviting and friendly! My massage was relaxing and definitely a stress reliever. I would HIGHLY recommend you checking out this little gem located in LaPlata. They also have soaps, oils, and other handmade skincare items that you may purchase. What a way to begin my workweek!

Melanie is uh-mazing! You know how they say there are baby whisperers.well Melanie is definitely a masseuse (massage therapist) whisperer. Her business is very professional and organized. I arrived for my afternoon appointment about 15 minutes early to fill out some paperwork. Melanie was very friendly and I loved the storefront setup. There is an array of oils, soaps and medicinal vitamins and supplements.
I scheduled a 90 minute therapeutic, deep tissue massage. Melanie was so thorough with the questions she asked, to ensure you feel comfortable and throughly enjoy your massage. I was in heaven. The massage was magical! No kidding. I enjoyed the back and foot massage the best. She definitely knows what she is doing and her hands should be insured! I highly recommend her and will definitely be back! You won't be disappointed.
