REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

by Lisa on Jan 21
Giselle was great! Very professional and got me in for a last minute appointment
by Linda on Jan 11
I was referred to Giselle by a good physical therapist, so I anticipated that she would be highly skilled. I wasn't disappointed! She seemed to know exactly what to do for me. I had hip replacement 5 years ago and am now having some trouble with the hip. She is not only very skilled but is also very nice. I had a relaxing, enjoyable massage as well as needed work on the hip. I would recommend her without reservation.

Giselle has been wonderful. I initially bought one lymphatic massage session for my post-lipo recovery, but I immediately bought a full package after our first session. Unless you're very tender and have a low pain tolerance, you need to get the Lymph Drainage massage WITH cupping. It really makes all the difference. Giselle is so kind, knowledgeable and I always leave feeling 10x better!

Very Good rather than Amazing.

I have been a client of Giselle as long as I can remember. She understands what my mind and body require on any given day. I love the combination of massage and cupping.
