Ann is absolutely, positively amazing. This is coming from a fellow (15-year veteran) massage therapist, too!

Ann is an unbelievably skilled massage therapist. Her work is intuitive and healing. Whether you have chronic pain or a recent injury, or you just need to relax, you will not find a better practitioner.

This is more than a massage, this is a life trajectory changing experience. I've never had a practitioner adjust a massage to my body's emotional needs. I leave feeling free and "unstuck"!

Ann is so good at what she does. Knows exactly what I need and the spots I need it done in. And she’s an awesome person to talk to!

thank you for being so wonderful. also, very respectful about the suction cupping being something I wouldn't like. And whoever that nice woman was that asked if I had everything I needed while I was waiting for my mother's appointment to finish
