REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

by Anonymous on Aug 05
Maurice is a professional with an excellent background and skills. He worked on my neck and shoulders with his deep tissue therapy technique and it opened the painful areas. As the day went on I could tell the therapy realigned and stretched the areas and my neck and shoulders were 100% better and pain-free. I am grateful and look forward to the next session!
