Virginia’s overall approach to care and comfort is unrivaled. As a Disabled Veteran, she helped me to find relief from pain that I have had for over 25 years. The smartest call that you can make, is to schedule an appointment!

Virginia is a really great masseuse I felt pretty good by the time I left. She did a great job beginning to loosen the scar tissue on my back. I'll definitely be back. Thank you kindly!

A masseuse who is also a RN. She is highly intelligent and knows how to treat. Highly recommended.
by Angie on Sep 15
Virginia makes me feel comfortable & forget about the stresses of the day. She always "finds" & gets the knots out. If I come in with a tension headache, she's usually able to get rid of it within a few minutes for me. I've been to many massage therapists over the last 30 years & she's one of the very best!
by Amanda on Sep 04
Her massage technique, her knowledge of the human body, and her attention to my level of comfort are exceptional.
