It was my first EVER massage. I had the Ashiatsu massage done by Rachel. It was amazing. She asked which areas I wanted her to focus extra time on and hit those spots well, especially sciatica. The bed was heated, lights were low, shades shut, and quiet relaxing music. I recommend everyone go get one!!!

Rachel's cozy little studio was nice and warm on a cold January day. She is very friendly and is quick to make sure you are comfortable and well informed about ashiatsu. It was my first barefoot massage experience and it will not be my last! She did a great job working on my problem spots, the pressure she can do with her feet is amazing!

If you didn't know what she was doing, you'd never know it was her feet doing all the work. I've had back pain for many years after trauma. I left her table feeling better than I have in many years and today... today I feel even better. I will continue to see Rachel from here on out. Amazing work!

Rachel is really dedicated to being the best at what she does, and it shows in her work! The suite is cozy and she even has essential oils there to add to the experience. She also makes an effort to ensure you're comfortable and that you are properly wrapped with sheets so you don't feel exposed.

Rachel takes the time and effort to research and find to root of my pains. She is one of a kind in this profession, and has skill beyond her years. I would hire her as my own personal ashi masseuse if I could. Booking with her is so easy and she takes care of and remembers every one of her clients and makes them feel like they are at home. I highly recommend her.

I really enjoyed the new ROM technique. My body felt like absolute Jell-O yesterday. Today I can definitely feel that there was stretching going on, which is amazing to me since all that happened was I layed on a table and got squished. I look forward to each and every time I visit. I can't wait to see what new skills you continue to bring into your passion. Barefoot massage is the ONLY massage that should be around. I'll never go back to hands on!

I've been seeing Rachel for well over a year for massage, and I've always been very pleased with my services and results, but since she started offering Ashiatsu, and I've had a few of the 90-min sessions now, all I can say is this is the best massage I've had, hands (feet) down! The long, fluid strokes and the deep pressure I prefer are the perfect combination of what works best for me. The results last for weeks, and I feel phenomenal afterwards every single time. If I could do this every week, I would in a heartbeat! Do yourself a favor and give this modality a shot, you won't be disappointed.

I got in a car accident 20 years ago and have lived with pain everyday since. I've seen multiple doctors and therapists over that time but nothing really helped and most of them just wanted to medicate. I went to see Rachel because of an unrelated back issue several months ago and have been going back every 2 weeks. My general stress level has gone way down and my leg has never felt better at any time since my accident.

I received a FEATHER-LIGHT massage when I asked for deep-tissue. Lotion was cold. Didn't appreciate having to walk naked past the window facing Grand River, because the blinds were open.
Business response:
As with all sessions I’m sure I checked in to be sure your pressure was to your liking, in the future I would recommend letting your therapist know if you would like more pressure when asked. The shades on the windows on the 2nd floor office space were open, but the curtains were drawn; blocking any view from the outside. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
