I like that the massage was deep and pleasantly intense. She responded well to the indications given by my body. The results were immediately apparent to me.

Taylor asked what was bothering me and listened carefully very carefully to what I had to say. She tailored the massage to focus on my specific complaints and I left feeling much more relaxed. I will be back.

My first time receiving massage cupping. It was encouraged due to some pain I had in my shoulder. The pain is gone now! I felt that Taylor applied more pressure than other places I've been, which is what I need and want. I usually leave other places relaxed but not really relieved. I felt good leaving here and even better two days later!

Taylor is very pleasant. She knows what she is doing and is very professional. Her healing skills are amazing. When I first chose Better Body Massages, Taylor was the first therapist I had there. I've kept coming back to her because of her skills and professionalism.
