Carla is very knowledgeable and qualified in the application of therapeutic massage. I came in with a few issues regarding numbness in the fingers and tightness in lower back and she managed to find the areas that have caused me significant distress. Post-massage, I was able to sleep with no numbness! I set up a series of appointments as she is exactly what I need and want in having a therapeutic massage. Thank you Carla!

Carla was so wonderful and full of information. She helped me tremendously with telling me what I can get at home to aid my pain until I come back again. She also is not one who keeps completely quiet during the massage and I absolutely love it! She talks you through what shes doing occasionally and what shes using on you as well as ask you if there is any discomfort in an area shes working on that you didnt mention. She covers every aspect of your body. I have chronic back pain and she knew exactly what products to use in order to eliminate the pain so she could massage it more. Carla is wonderful!

The best massage I have received was from Carla at Balanced Therapy, and I have had many. She is skillful with her technique and worked deeply on neck and shoulder issues that are from working as a dental hygienist. She really understands body mechanics and repetitive motion injury. -- Her massage was so good that I cancelled a chiropractor appointment I had scheduled for the following day. Definitely see Carla!!

Good massage but the legs were left untouched. Also some relaxing music would have added to the experience instead of silence.
Business response:
Music is always on not but super loud. And since your needs were very specific, I mentioned to you that time was better served on the areas of attention. Its a promotional voucher that allows you to get a sample of what I do. If in that hour I address your specific needs, I have done my work. But I am glad you left a review in any event. Be well! :)
