I loved my masseuse she was very helpful, provided guidance of what she was doing and overall was a great conversationalist! She must have had magic fingers because once I left there smiling ear to ear feeling like a new person! She taught me so much about the body I was not aware of.

I’ve had two massage therapists as partners, so I really know what a good massage is, and I have to say that Justin gave me one of the best ones of my life. Like most people, I have varying tolerances for pressure on different parts of my body, and Justin did a great job of not only communicating and asking what pressure I was looking for in problem areas, but also did an excellent job of being present in his massage work and noticing and flinches or tenses in my muscles and responded quickly and appropriately each time.

Both are great listeners and understand the body. I aim for a massage every two weeks and will be a regular forever! Highly recommend!
