The only thing i'd have different would be the temperature in the room. my skin was exposed quite a bit, so a warmer room would have been ideal. Otherwise, it was pure awesomeness.

I absolutely loved it!!! I will be booking another one soon. Rachel got into the spots where I needed extra attention & worked the knots out. She is a fabulous masseuse & very professional.
This was my first time getting barefoot massage, ashiatsu. It's not choppy, she can go the whole distance of your body with her feet. It's amazing!!

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!

My first massage which she made very comfortable by giving me information before and during the massage. After being recommended to her countless times I went, I can certainly see why it has brought up in conversation so many time.

Rachel did an amazing job!! I’m a larger guy (6’7, 340 pounds) and she was able to get to my problem areas without causing me any unnecessary pain. She’s a very accurate therapist who actually listens and caters to her clients needs. I would definitely recommend her to anyone, especially athletes and weightlifters!!

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.

If I could give Rachel 6 stars, I would. I left feeling better than I have in quite some time. The only thing that disappoints me is that the Ashiatsu experience has now ruined a standard Swedish massage for me!

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 like the fact you keep learning. I love that you involve me and ask what I like and didn't like about the previous massage keeping me involved in my healing and maintenance therapy. Now that I have found you I really don't know how I managed life and everything it is throwing at me without your magical heart and hands.

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.

I would tell anyone who wanted to know how great Rachel is when she gives a massage. She continual goes back to school to learn the latest treatments to help each client with whatever they needs are. I have always has pain in my neck, shoulders and back and the massages help so much. Rachel has helped me to continue my life with less pain.
