Can I just say WOW!! I came into the office with pain and tingling going down my arm to my fingers. My forearm and hand were so tightly bound. The trigger points were numerous. I feel good today. I have had zero discomfort . I'm so proud of myself for making the time for me. I needed this appointment. I'm making more. :)

Cheryl is very talented. She finds tightness and soreness where I didn't know it existed and works it out. In addition to a great massage, she is happy to talk or allow you to drift off during the session. She also provides great follow-up after to ensure you're feeling good after.

I would recommend this place to anyone that has muscle pain as I do. I was nervous going on thinking this would cause my back & hip more pain then I wanted by Debbie put my mind at ease the whole time and the session felt great. I’m hoping a couple more will heal my muscles and I will back to normal. I’m looking forward to my next session tomorrow.

I have been seeing Deb once a week for a good month now. I came to her with frozen shoulder. Each visit my range of motion increases and my pain decreases. I am no longer taking Advil and have packed away the ice packs. I follow all of her recommendations and together we have made huge progress. I also find her to be kind, empathetic and very flexible with scheduling. My quality of life has much improved--so grateful for Deb!

The office feels a little clinical walking in but I'd rather have that than some wacky entrance covered in crystals and homeopathic items. I like calming sounds and aromas in the massage room, not an immersive hippie commune experience, so the more simple format is appealing. The size of your massage rooms are spacious, having 2 rooms to accommodate possible same-time appointments with my fiancee is great and the team mentality is refreshing. Other places I've been were only interested in securing clients for individual massage therapists, regardless of their skill level for unique client situations, making for an awkward experience.

I became a client at Change Your Pace after my previous massage therapist moved to the west coast. I was dreading having to find someone to fill her shoes, but CYP made it such an easy and comfortable transition, and I'm now laughing at my anxiety. The owner even personally contacted me to help me find the right fit with a new therapist - how's that for service?! The facility is easy to get to, and it's even easier to book a session. I'm so thankful for the relief and ease that CYP has brought, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in the Annapolis area and beyond looking to address any of the myriad of issues that massage magic can bring to you!
