Nice relaxing atmosphere. Ashley does a wonderful job. She's very professional and you can tell she loves what she does.

It was great as always. Really knows how to get me relaxed while really digging into some of my muscle issues.

The experience was great and Ashley knows how to work the kinks out. The only thing I would prefer is that it be slightly darker in the massage room.

Ashley is a true healer who has done more to help me recover from an auto accident than all my doctors and PTs combined. I would probably be addicted to pain medicine at this point if it weren't for her. She is incredibly perceptive. I am a large muscular male and she always applies the correct amount of force in exactly the right places. She is strong but never painful. Ashley is friendly and personable but maintains good professional/client boundaries. She employees sound business practices and accurate records-keeping. I tried several LMTs before I settled on her and she is, quite simply, the best.

Excellent massage. The back walking really gets to the tight knots and loosens them up.
