Amelia has a very calm, relaxing, and smooth style, finding areas of tension and addressing those very effectively. Her skills are at the level of a professional, if you can schedule an appointment with her while she is student, or wherever she moves on to, you will find a therapist who provides a very relaxing and therapeutic massage.

The therapist was most friendly and professional. My massage was with perfect pressure and hit all my knots and tension areas. She made short comments during the massage and didn't talk. And worked with me on my breathing. I plan to return and work with her again, and would recommend her to anyone.
