Report
I was referred to Aubree in 2018 through a chiropractor that I was seeing after being injured from a car wreck. I'm someone who doesn't like to be touched by really anyone much less strangers, I shared this with Aubree & from the beginning she was so respectful & understanding of this. I only wanted her to focus on my back because that's where my injury was & I wasn't comfortable with being massaged anywhere else.
From the moment I met her Aubree was so welcoming & kind, she's one of those people that you can tell she genuinely cares. She always asked if I wanted a silent session or if I wanted to chat & she was always up for both. The environment is so warm & welcoming, she uses the best oils that aren't heavily scented & don't irritate my sensitive skin. Now let me tell you about those hands! She is so talented & is amazing at massaging.
She's got the hands of an angel! I am happy to say that I've been pain free since 2018 due to the help I received from my chiropractor & my weekly visits with Aubree. I will always refer people to her! P.S. you only get under the first set of sheets not the second set, I did this for about 3-4 visits before I finally figured it out.

After a serious auto accident leaving me with painful injuries to my shoulder and back, it was suggested I call upon the services of Aubry and Chiedu owner of Hurt So Good Therapeutic Massage. They worked with my insurance company in billing their services to and accepting payments through my no fault accident insurance coverage. During my 2+ years of treatments from Chiedu, I have benefited immensely from his knowledge and understanding of the human body and nutrition.
The genuine concern Chiedu and Aubry have for the health and welfare of those they treat is unlike few I have ever known. They are both kind, caring and humble individuals whose service I highly recommend. If a 10 star rating would qualify them as the best, I would rate them above a 10.

My masseuse Chiedu is amazing! He understands more about my back and shoulder issues than anyone I've ever been to, including my chiropractors and physical therapists that I'd been seeing for the last 25+ years. I had all but given up ever lifting my arm all the way up over my head to shave under it properly, now I'm able to not only do that, but use it for yoga, play with my 8 yr old, and soo many other things. We are still working on my tight upper back, but stress and age has caused that to be an ongoing thing I would, and do recommend Hurt's So Good to anyone looking for a real massage!
