What Gina did that I really like was she educated me during my massage and informed of exactly what she was doing and how my body was reacting to the pressure she applied. I struggled for many years with a head injury and Gina has help me release pressure in my neck and head.

Gina is owed all of the gratitude in the world from me. She stayed late to help me after I had a migraine for 8 days. I had tried everything. Less than 12 hours after my time with her I woke up MIGRAINE FREE! She has magic hands and I am so thankful for her skill and her kindness! I cannot wait til my next appointment.

Deep tissue trauma from old injuries compounded by lifestyle habits. Gina did an excellent job of intuitively finding and unlocking my tension patterns bit by bit with very little direction from me. I found great relief from the therapy and will certainly be returning. It is a two hour drive for me, but beyond worth it.

I’ve been going to a chiropractor since June for pain in my neck, back, shoulder and arm. He suggested Gina in addition to chiropractic care. I was a little skeptical because I’ve never had cranio therapy before. I visited Gina for the first time last week and the results have been fantastic. Within less than 48 hours of my appointment, there was a great reduction in my pain level. She was able to pinpoint certain pain points and treat it effectively. I can’t wait for my next appointment!

While waiting, I observed the staff to interact both professionally and kindly with clients and one another.
