Outstanding experience! Everything from the relaxing, classy ambience to Jillian's warmth and professionalism exceeded my expectations. As far as how I felt after treatment? Indescribably better! My body feels like a new machine, and I slept like a baby! Really looking forward to feeling what Jillian finds and fixes next time! Ahhhh, bliss.

Jillian was a miracle worker with her hands (and magic tools!). She made me feel extremely comfortable and at ease as soon as I arrived to the space. The treatment room was very relaxing - from the lighting, to the music, to the temperature of the room. She was very receptive to my body and talked me through various techniques she was using, or drew my attention to areas of tension she was noticing. She was also very receptive to when I wanted to talk (as if I knew her for years!) and when I was relaxing into the massage. After my treatment, I felt significantly more relaxed and released tension in areas I was wasn't even aware I had been holding onto. Can't recommend Jillian's services enough!

Jillian has the magic touch! I have been seeing her for 3+ years and I won’t go to anyone else. I love my 90-min monthly massages. I add cupping to get a deeper massage. Jillian knows her stuff and I recommend her to all my friends and family. I always come out of my massage on cloud 9.

I unequivocally recommend Jillian for your next massage therapy experience. The treatment room was beautifully decorated, warm, and comforting. Her knowledge of western and eastern modalities blended seamlessly into a 90 minute massage that was both relaxing and effective. I left feeling balanced in body and mind. I will absolutely be coming back and am already booked for my next one!

I was very pleased with the whole experience. Jillian is very professional. She made sure she understood my concerns and the areas that needed work before we began. The massage was excellent. Finally, she made it really easy to schedule my next appointment (but wasn't pushy about it). I will definitely be returning

Intelligent hands, I have done body work for 6 years and have been worked on by many practitioners, but finding a practitioner who listens to your body and customizes each portion of the massage to the level of tension is far and few between. I will definitely be re-booking with her.

Love it !! I have been getting massages since 2003. From 20 an hour to 150 an hour . Those massages are usually predictable. I have a 12 hours day schedule and getting older is not helping so I need the best to keep doing what I want to do . So what was amazing with Jillian is that she investigates my body first and then maps my treatment based on what part of my body needs the most love and then maps her way around my needs. Maybe that’s the doctor part her, hey did I say she is going to school to be a doctor !! Never had I had a masseur/doctor before, another cherry on the cupcake here. Jillian explanation on what went wrong with my body and what I need to do to be better is her gift and kindness in loving people and wanting them to have a pain free day. Jillian is very professional, strong, focus, and committed. After a massage from Jillian, I feel educated, body awaken, and looking forward to being a better me. Thank you Jillian for caring what you do ????

Jillian is an incredible massage therapist. I have two hip replacements and knee issues. She knows the anatomy of the human body so well making sure all my knots and painful areas are taken care of, while being cautious of my metal hips. I see her monthly for a massage with cupping! I don’t go to anyone else because she is “that good.” You will not be disappointed!!

I am so excited we found each other! I love working on you and watching your continual improvements and growth! See you next month, cups will be ready!

I love how personable Jillian is and how she knew exactly what type of massage I needed for my particular ailments. She was attentive, kind, and checked in with me regularly to make sure I was ok and the pressure wasn’t too much. She explained different aspects of the massage to me and what to expect so I wasn’t surprised especially with the deep tissue. It was so relaxing, i wished I had booked 90 minutes instead of 60. I came in with pretty bad neck pain and walked out feeling great. It has been nearly a week and the pain hasn’t come back! I would highly recommend her!
Business response:
It warms my heart to read this! I am THRILLED that you are pain free a week later. I can not wait to work with you again. Next time we'll do 90-min for sure!
