REVIEWS for my Bodywork or Wellness services

by Anonymous on Jun 07
When I arrived, Erika was there to greet me. Friendly, professional, and knowledgeable person who made me feel comfortable for the entire time I was there. I informed her of my recent shoulder surgery, my back and neck pain, and she knew exactly how to proceed. By the time Erika finished, I felt complete pain relief in not only my shoulder, but my entire back and neck also. I highly recommend EMT Massage, and I can't wait for my next visit. Thanks Erika!

Erika is the best! She knows how to pinpoint the cause of my pain, releases the tension, and has helped manage the frequency of my headaches. I always (a word I don’t use often) feel better when I walk out the door!
