"I had an amazing 60 minute massage by Sierra today. I told her my shoulders and neck were tight and she spent so much time working on them with just the right amount if pressure. The room was quiet and peaceful and I felt relaxed the minute I arrived. When I realized the hour was almost up I almost started crying because I never wanted it to end. I love massages and have had many in my life but I have to say this was one of the best! And 90 dollars for an hour massage is such a steal! I can't wait to go back!!"

"Puumba was great, very professional and in tune with muscles and tension. She found some aches and pains I never knew existed. My body was a bit jacked up before coming here. I would love to come back. Next go around I will spend more time on mid to low back more than feet. Thank you"

"CJ was super professional and so kind and caring. She was attentive to my needs and listened to the problem areas I was having with my lower back and shoulders. The office is really welcoming and intimate. She offered to put the table warmer on or not and was always checking in to see how I was doing. My husband had gotten a massage from her the week prior and he had nothing but good things to say about her and so I went ahead and booked with him as well. Definitely want to go back to her in the future!!!"
