Great experience with Angelee. Got the knots out and loved the supplemental heat to loosen up tight areas.

My experience was excellent. The visit was insightful. I was able to learn about my body and especially about my journey to conception. Crystal was knowledgeable, pleasant, made me feel super comfortable. I am looking forward to my follow-up appointment. The massage was great. I felt so light afterwards

Angelee is fantastic -- I highly recommend her! I was uncertain about finding a massage therapist as good as the one I had back home in Florida, but Angelee has met and far exceeded my expectations. She has given me tremendous relief from scoliosis-related discomfort and pain. Thanks to her, I was able to travel overseas for 2 weeks without any problems in the plane.

I had a bad experience with the Teal Center. It is conveniently located so I was hoping to use it as my regular go-to place for massage, but it's not that easy to get in. The first time after spending quite a bit of time filling out different forms and paperwork and being charged 50%, I got declined right before my appointment because I mentioned I was traveling within the past 2 weeks. Second time I booked an appointment later in a day to allow time for a gym workout after a work day and get my muscles relaxed after that.

I had to finish my workout earlier to get there on time only be be waiting for 10 minutes in front of the closed door, filling out the same questionnaires, then I called the salon so that someone let me in and a receptionist showed up only to inform me that a masseuse was not here, he just didn't show up and no-one else was available. Unprofessional. Disappointing. Time waste.

I have had a fantastic experience working with Kim Derrick, who does lymphatic drainage and therapeutic massage. She has been very helpful at both soothing my back pain and giving me tips on holistic health. I feel more energetic and better all around. Kim goes the extra mile to check in on me and offer moral support. I'm very glad that my doctor referred me to the Teal Center and that fate led me to Kim.

I've been going to the Teal Center for eight years, and it's been life-changing. Amanda's massages have helped with my chronic muscle tension, neck and shoulder spasms, lower back/SI-joint dysfunction, foot pain, and more. Her expert work has kept me functional, kept my pain in check, and enabled me to enjoy a vigorously active life. I always felt that massages were a luxury (and I am certainly lucky to be able to get them!), but I've learned that they are a top-priority health necessity for me when done right. The Teal Center--and Amanda--do it right.

I would give the Teal Center more than 5 stars if I could. I started coming to the Teal Center years ago for massages for relaxation and for pain relief, and now I come for cranial sacral sessions with Crystal that are amazing! I always walk out feeling extremely relaxed and grounded. My body actually does involuntary unwinding motions during the sessions - I feel like my whole body is being unwound from the stress I've accumulated over a lifetime.

I also love going to workshops at the Teal Center (e.g. Biofield Tuning and Akashic records) to become more knowledgeable about the field of energy medicine. I'm looking forward to trying Crystal's online meditation session next. Everyone I've met at the Teal Center is very loving and deeply caring and so the Teal Center has a special place in my heart.
