The massage never feels hurried even though she covers a lot of territory! She understands that the source of tension may be on the opposite side or end of the body. Her hands are like detectives, sussing out the sources and connections that need different kinds of touch and pressure to facilitate release.

So pleased with my first session with Deb. She was very thorough in discussing all my history and my expectations. The reason I chose Stress Waived was because I felt confident Deb could help me with my areas of pain. I was not wrong, she did an amazing job tending to all my painful issues and explained along the way. I look forward to more treatments and less pain.

It was a teaching/learning session. Much talking, questions, etc. regarding how I currently stretch, exercise, sleep, etc. it’s not a “close your eyes and relax” massage, but, I feel that Deborah was learning my body and how to treat it with therapeutic massage. Different massage experience, but, she did loosen some muscles and give me some relief.

Liked the clear descriptions and information both online and in person of what to expect and why. Liked Deborah’s close attention to my specific issues. Liked feeling at ease. Liked the education and professionalism along with the personal exchanges. Liked feeling that I was in the right place at the right time. Liked knowing that Deborah was willing to work with my limited time frame. Didn’t like that I said no to the bed warmer! Next time...!

She really works to make sure her clients are getting pain relief!

I went to See Deb with a pulled shoulder, I had been babying for 2 days or so not able to lift heavy items with out some discomfort . Deb worked on the shoulder for half my session of a hour so (30 min) .. getting up of the table I noticed instant relief.. upon waking the next day it was like i hadn't even hurt the shoulder at all. this is one of the many times Deb has been able to help me with back pain and other random stuff i do to pull or strain muscles..
Thanks you so much, you are much appreciated!!
