So sad how the employees are treated. I spoke today to the owner, and she denies how she treats them. I have been there many times and I gave great reviews on their services. But when I asked how my daughter who is 7 months pregnant is treated there, Juanita the owner was very combative. My daughter came in for work when other employees had Covid. I called Juanita the owner because I respected her because of previous interactions. I don't feel that way today.

I saw Matt. He did an excellent job with being calm, trauma informed, and therapeutic. First time having trigger point massage and it released a lot of toxins. He did a thorough job in the massage work, and used consent language throughout. However, he is very fluid in his concept of time. Rather than watching the clock, he attends to body needs. I didn't have anywhere to be and thought originally I was getting a 60 min massage.
He asked to expend to 75 mins and i consented. The massage lasted much longer and though I had nowhere I had to be (which I communicated), and am appreciative of the gift of time which benefited my body greatly, I wasn't sure how to process my views on such a long massage without knowing how long it truly was until afterwards

I did research this company in search for a place that did professional couple's massage. They offer a large variety of massage types and therapeutic services. I do plan to book an appointment with them for its going to be my boyfriend's 52nd birthday . I WILL ABSOLUTELY LEAVE ANOTHER POST ABOUT OUR EXPERIENCE! I have my hopes up for a wonderful time. So fingers crossed that I will not be disappointed. I did see that it is expensive but it would be worth the services if things go as described.

L.D. was awesome, and took care of some shoulder issues I have had trouble with for some time. Perfect pressure, and super professional. He also has got a funny sense of humor, and even though it caught my tired brain off guard at first, it was appreciated. If you got muscle pain, L.D. won't disappoint!

Matt is an amazing therapist. I am impressed with his deep tissue massage and attention to pain points. I very much enjoy his massages and our conversations. The facility is also very clean and inviting.
