REVIEWS for my massage services

by Anonymous on Nov 14
The best, you know it is good when you wake yourself up from snoring.
by Rose on Nov 12
She did a lot well but I appreciated her really working the hip area as this seems to be a neglected area with most massage therapists.
by Meghan on Nov 07
Kari is super thoughtful and makes my massage very personalized. She remembers every request and detail every time I see her.

Kari is AMAZING! She listened to my needs and worked hard to help me relax and get some real soft tissue work done on my injuries.
by Nick on Sep 19
Great massage, good advice and a genuinely nice person. Felt awesome afterward and feel great this morning. And, slept way better last night than I have in the last month or two. I.e. not waking constantly and trying to adjust my position. Awesome.. Highly recommended!
