REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

by Stephanie on Feb 06
I booked a 2 hour session and got off the table feeling the best my body has felt in a long time. AJ's questions and dialog around my needs and goals translated into an effective combination of techniques and pressure. One of the best 2 hours of body work I have had. Highly recommend booking a session, especially if you are looking for a therapeutic massage.

My massage was awesome as usual. I haven't treated myself to one for a while and after this one I wonder why. AJ is a kind, caring & skilled massage therapist. I left feeling relaxed and re-grounded. Great experience!!

Exceptional. Beyond his knowledge and skill set, AJ's compassionate and intuitive approach to massage and bodywork raises the bar. I woukd encourage new clients to invest in longer sessions for truly healing and restorative experiences.

10 out of 10. AJ really listens to what you and your body need. He understands the full physical & spiritual/emotional experience of body work & holds amazing space. He is also very strong & attentive. Highly recommend!

If there was a "Best Hands in Asheville" award, AJ would win it! Knowledgeable, professional, attentive. I came to AJ with a recent injury stemming from a nagging issue. He listened carefully, asked insightful questions, and made sure the session met my goals throughout. I can't recommend AJ highly enough.
