Thoughtful attention to ambiance issues- visual, temperature, music, comfort on the table, etc.
Listened carefully to my specific needs and desires for the massage.
Skill, skill, skill- in so many ways- skillful hands, skillful intuition, skillful movement. Wonderful massage, the very best.

Lisa is a wonderful massage therapist! The energy flowing through her body and out through her hands was phenomenal for me! It might not be that way for everyone because I felt a special connection with her like she was a spirit guide. My session with Lisa helped me open up more to the power of touch as an expression of love! Thanks Lisa!

Lisa has studied several modalities intensively, and though my session was ostensibly an "Esalen" massage, her other knowledge and skills were also present and active. As a retired licensed massage therapist, I can easily say that the two-hour session with Lisa was the best massage I have ever received or given. If I were an Asheville resident, I would definitely see her more frequently.
Business response:
Chaz, I am honored to receive such a fantastic review! It means a lot coming from you, another MT! I hope you have a chance to come back whenever you visit Asheville next. ~Lisa

Lisa was friendly and informative. Her skillful technique and body knowledge were evident. I appreciated the recommendations for things I could do at home (homeopathic creme for my swollen ankle, YouTube video for my shoulder). I’ll schedule another visit when I can. ????

My office is located upstairs at 338 Merrimon Avenue, at the NW corner of Merrimon and Spears Ave. Park in the back, off Spears, then come up the wide staircase and enter the back door to the vestibule . Now, head to the right and up the stairs. Upstairs you will notice a waiting area to the right, through an open door. Please make yourself comfortable there. I will come find you as soon as I'm ready. Text me if you have any difficulty finding my office.

Moonjata's massage work is incredible. As an athlete and fitness enthusiast, my body receives a lot of wear and tear and requires maintenance. It's honestly much more than just a massage, it's restorative and healing on many levels.

Thanks Kevin! It's great working with you! I love helping you reach your peak performance.

Lisa is so incredibly intuitive, she communicates telepathicly basically. She has the strength and tons of skill to get the knots outs, incorporating stretches, movement and the signature characteristics of an Esalon massage. I sometimes easily get in to that in between awake and dream state or sometimes completely pass out for a minute or 5.. ???? Best massage I've ever had, no doubt about it.

Hi Brad, Thanks so much for sharing your experience here! I love to hear you got into an altered state during your session. :)

Lisa's knowledge and skill in The healing arts is impressive. I never really used to think massage was worth paying for, never felt like it did much for me. But After experiencing Lisa's work, my perspective has completely shifted. When you book with her, expect much more than a typical massage.
