Client Testimonials

Here's what our clients are saying

It was a very fine experience. Can't think how it could be improved.

I will recommend Terri; she was awesome!
A very relaxing experience. The combination of light level, music and temperature control were perfect.

Great massage
The best massage I’ve ever had

Great ambiance... professional, warm and welcoming. Great location. Beautiful space. Skilled staff. Best in Aiken and the CSRA.
Uma is very good at what she does. Very pleasant to talk to .

Massage-Ology is a fabulous place to visit for a fantastic, wonderful and relaxing massage and to have some quiet and peaceful time to your very own self. It has the most peaceful and soothing atmosphere and music. And the warming cushions on the massage table were awesome. But the best part was meeting Terri and getting a fantastic massage from her. Terri must have “magic” in her fingers!!
Unbelievably awesome. Deep muscles that haven't been hit before. Makes all the other massage therapists...well, regular. After consultation, focused on all the areas I needed instead of just a normal massage. Then got the rest. Highly recommended. AAA++++

Forget the pain meds and get yoself to massage-ology for lasting relief from pain!

Ahshiatsu/Barefoot Massage

The deepest, most luxurious massage on the planet. With all the benefits of a Therapeutic Massage, this type of massage is a slower, more forceful application of compression using foot pressure. It releases trigger points and unwinds connective tissues, and has myofascial benefits that relax and stretch contracted muscles. Full Sessions are 75 or 90 minutes. A condensed session can be done in 60 minutes.

Thai Massage

Often described as “lazy man’s yoga,” done on a mat on the floor with the client fully clothed. It is a cross between acupressure, yoga and shiatsu. The therapist uses their hands, feet, elbows and forearms for slow, deep, rhythmic compressions along the body’s energetic lines. Working to unwind tension, the therapist moves the client into yoga-like positions gently rocking rocking the body to open the joints and facilitate more flexibility. Thai Massage leaves you feeling both relaxed and energized.

An Asian modality gaining popularity in the US, Bamboossage is an exceptional way to relax tight muscles, release stress and tension and improve sports performance. Using solid bamboo of sticks of different lengths and widths warmed to a comforting temperature, pressure is applied giving deep, long massage strokes to breakdown tension and stretch tight muscles. As with all of our treatments, this innovative modality is combined with our repertoire of skills to meet the specific needs of each client.

I have had a passion for this work my entire adult life and have been a licensed, practicing massage therapist for 30 years and a Yoga teacher for 28. Yoga and bodywork are the 2 things that have had the most profound impact on my life, and I have dedicated my work to sharing them.
I studied massage therapy at Educating Hands School of Massage in Miami, Florida and hold a long list of certifications in allied modalities. As a bodyworker, I specialize in Deep Tissue Massage, Neuromuscular Therapy, Myofascial Release, Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage and Bamboossage. Additionally, I am a licensed Rollologist. I have a kind heart and strong hands.
I was certified Teacher of Yoga at the Sivananda Yoga Ranch in Woodborune, NY in 1992. With continued study of different styles and the deeper aspects of Yoga, I was led to India where I studied, practiced and taught Yoga. My extensive bodywork background gives my classes a therapeutic approach. My deep Yogic roots merge meditative flow with structural alignment, allowing a safe and positive environment for students explore and develop their own Yoga practice.
I created Massage-Ology with a passionate desire and lofty objective: to inspire and educate therapists so that we can soften the rough edges of the world by healing one body at a time.

I was a stay at home mom and working out with a personal trainer in 2002 and in 2004, I became a Licensed Personal Trainer myself. I discovered I enjoyed working with clients to help them rehab after knee and hip replacements. This was the beginning of my journey to alternative health and would eventually lead me to Massage Therapy.
When my step mother died of cancer in 2005, I became interested in nutritional healing. I started seeing a chiropractor who specialized in Applied Kinesiology. His care for me and my family changed my outlook on traditional medicine. After I suffered a head injury in 2007 that left me with vertigo and short term memory loss, his drug free treatment with adjustments and muscle testing literally changed my life when all traditional medical treatments failed!
Then my path got a little bumpy, but I recovered with Yoga. After divorcing Satan (FYI: not the father of my children, and not his real name), I went to Yoga Teacher Training at Asheville Yoga Center in NC and healed happily in my 3 week “yoga bubble.” It was a submersion in yoga, meditation and breath work that opened my mind and my heart to a whole new approach to life! I am deeply moved by a quote from Buddha, “What we think, we become”. My new direction of self-care and self-love inspired me to share my gift of mindfulness and healing with others.
I began with studying Naturopathy and Nutritional Healing. It is my belief that health is determined by how we take care of our bodies, the food we eat and the lifestyle we live. It was years of experiences with people and practices that made a profound difference in my quality of life and well being that lead me to Massage Therapy. It created a desire in me to share my “healing touch” in a mindful way.
In 2020, I joined Massage-Ology to train and work with Uma Seaman in Ashiatsu Barefoot Massage and several other Eastern modalities. In Michael Angelou’s last words “Ancaro Imparo” - “And still I am learning “

Excellent massesuse, senstive to my conditons; skilled and understanding.

by September on Apr 18

Terri was very nice and personable. She asked if I wanted her to focus on the areas that were bothering me. I am very happy with the massage. She was able to give me a full massage after focusing on my neck and back. I am grateful and will recommend her.

by Russ on Apr 05

Terri is attentive and talented. She listened to my “maladies” and addressed each one during the course of the massage. Her use of hot stones was an unexpected bonus!

I came in with neck pain and a headache and left pain free and happy. Terri’s skilled hands and knowledge of the muscles are impressive. I will be back!

I broke my left arm on November 27th, 2020. My entire left side, especially my left shoulder and back have been very sore and hurting for 12 weeks straight. Of course, I’ve been going to my doctors appointments, taking meds, getting x-rays and doing Physical Therapy to regain use of my left arm and my range of motion. But the soreness and hurting has not left for 12 weeks. I went to Terri on Friday 2-19-21, and when she finished I felt like a different person. For the first time in 12 weeks my left shoulder and back did NOT hurt. I wondered how long this good feeling would last?? Well, I’m writing this on Saturday 2-20-21, and Praise God my left shoulder and back are still pain free. I just can’t thank Terri enough for getting my left shoulder and back free from 12 weeks of pain and soreness. Praise God and Terri for being able to relieve my pain and help me to feel so much better!! Terri was truly a God send to me
