Targeting deeper muscle layers, this therapy addresses chronic pain and physical injuries. Techniques release toxins, improve circulation, and restore mobility.

Talya is very professional and has the technique to give a deep massage if that's what you are looking for (and will lighten up if you just ask at any point). She always asks beforehand if there is anything she should know regarding injuries/conditions or preferences and she keeps notes and remembers the next time. She is comfortable with music, silence, or conversation. I know Talya is quite experienced with seniors, but I believe she's comfortable with all ages. Highly recommended!

Talya does a great job in finding all of the tight spots in your muscles and I recommend all of my friends to her. She truly cares about her customers and makes them feel comfortable and relaxed. She is the best!

Amazing massage therapist! I have been dealing with sciatica for a few weeks now and it has tightened up lots of different areas of my body. After the massage I was able to get some stretching in and it was the most comfortable I've felt in weeks. Thanks, Talya for helping me out! I will most certainly be back! 10/10 recommended. Relaxing setting and amazing massage skills.

Talya's massages are the best I have ever had! She works on entire body, including hands, feet and neck. She always seems to find those muscles that need it the most to concentrate on. You can't go wrong with Talya!

I always look forward to my massage with Talya. Her space is inviting and calming. I leave feeling relaxed. My muscles sing from their new found lack of tension.

Report
Went for a massage for the first time and Talya made the entire experience very comfortable. I appreciated the client intake form where you can circle what areas you need focus on. She also adjusted the pressure as needed. She makes sure that the massage time is an hour and the form filling is not part of that time. I appreciated the client focus and the personalization. Despite being a home based massage studio, the ambiance was very comfortable and professional. Talya also follows COVID-19 protocols and has her mask on for the entire massage.
Most importantly, Talya is very compassionate and came to help me out when my car battery died and I was stranded outside in the 14 degree weather post massage. Will definitely recommend Talya to everyone I know!
