PHILOSOPHY

CLIENT REVIEWS

"Stephanie was awesome. Before starting, she went over my profile, going over where it hurts on my body to get a better understanding of how it happened. Let's just say once my massage was done, I felt very relaxed and my pain on my lower back was not as bad. She worked it in. My whole body feels great. I will most definitely return. Thank you so much."

- Beth

- Melissa C.          

 

"Stephanie did an excellent job paying attention to the areas that needed attention including areas I didn't even know required help. She quickly figured out a variety of problems I had in my back and adeptly addressed them. I like a lot of pressure and she was able to oblige. I'll definitely be back soon." 

- Daniel M.
