Fenny is by far the best massage therapist I've ever been to. Her knowledge of how the body works and functions is far superior to even my doctor at times - or so it seems. :) She continues to help you work on the parts that are giving you the most problems. And even goes above by making suggestions for outside of the therapy sessions... I've been going to Fenny for almost 10 years now and have recommended her to many friends to also love her and highly recommend her to others. She's really incredible. The stones, hot towels, aromatherapy, meditation music, the table is so comfortable with the blankets, it's just amazing! And she even does cupping and Thai Massage!
