My arm has flexibility that it hasn't had in years. I'm very excited about progress overall, even beyond that. My muscles were in a very difficult place and I have continually made progress because of my help at Holden Hands.

I was quite pleased with my first visit. Jacqueline was very knowledgable, professional and passionate about her profession. The table was very comfortable and the room was also very nice. It was a nice relaxing environment and i also enjoyed her conversation. I am looking forward to my next visit and setting up a regiment with her.

Office/reception moved to a different part of the building, and office building does not have good signage, so it wasn't entirely clear on where to go. One of the fellow businesspersons in the building was able to direct me.

Jackie was amazing, polite and knowledgeable. This was my first time with Jackie and let's just say she was able to move things that haven't been moved in ages. Her ability to locate and treat a problem area without even asking blows my mind. Day two and have noticed a great improvement with my shoulder, traps and back. An improvement I didn't get with months of physical therapy. Can't wait to see what else her magic hands can do.

Got to tour the entire place. The couples room makes you feel like you're actually escaping with the atmosphere--"magical" remote control lighting, a forest-like curtain design, and more that you just have to see. Jacqueline put a lot of effort into making the best out of her room space, and anyone with an office can relate to how hard that may be.

I had been dealing with increasing pain in my back and arm for about 5 days before i reached out to Holden Hands Massage. At that point in time, I was in severe pain. I was able to get an appointment right away. Jacqueline was extremely professional, asked a lot of questions, and exhibited a great understanding of the human anatomy and how our bodies function. She was able to relief much of my pain during the first visit, but was cautious enough to eliminate any further inflammation by overworking any areas. Prior to my appointment, i was unable to use the computer, and combing my hair or applying makeup was painful. Post-massage, i have followed Jacqueline's suggestions, and am feeling more relief each day. i will definitely return.

I was always VERY nervous about getting a massage, even though I was told by my husband that I desperately needed it. Now I am addicted. Especially after becoming fairly active I NEED the massages in order to keep my muscles in working order. Once a month I add in the raindrop technique where Jackie adds in essential oils to my massage and oh my gosh...there are no words for how amazing that is... Jackie is very knowledgeable, professional, compassionate, genuine and truly enjoys her work. It's too bad we can't take her with us when we move because I don't think there is another massage therapist out there like her. The office is very clean, welcoming and relaxing.

by christie on Mar 2016

It was just all great. The office is in a very convenient location, but is sheltered from the hustle and bustle of the main road nearby. Entering the office already creates a relaxed mood. Miss Jackie has magic hands. I've had many different massage therapists in the past several years but she has a talent that goes beyond what is learned in school. In this area, I only recommend Holden Hands!
