REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

by Leslie on Jun 23
I travel back and forth from Colorado to Arizona for our business. I always make sure to schedule an appointment to see Kathleen. Her knowledge and experience far surpass anyone that I have gone to for a massage. The manual lymphatic massage has made me feel so much better, leaving my legs feeling lighter, having increased mobility, and reduced pain. The infrared sauna is a great complement to any massage. Thank you, Kathleen, for providing such a comfortable and welcoming environment. I look forward to seeing you on my next trip out to Arizona!
