REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

by Vicky on Sep 02
She would ask what do you want for her to work on more. For me my shoulder and lower back.
by Sharon on Aug 21
Chris listens to her client's particular needs and addresses those areas. Her goal, short term and long term, is to have her client leave feeling better than when they arrived.

Chris is so good at medical massages! I pulled my neck, and I think a nerve was pinched. I went in to see her and walked out completely pain-free. She is truly amazing!

Worked out the nasty stress knots in my neck.

The most thorough and knowledgeable massage therapist I have had in years. Walked in with pain and left with no pain! Outstanding!
by Karen on Jan 22
Chris always inquires as to my current state before we begin. She centers in on what is ailing me, and usually is able to give much needed relief.
