Giselle is a skilled therapist, she focused on my tension areas with the perfect technique and pressure. Thank you!

Giselle was able to figure out what to do about pain I was having around my right ear. I thought I might have needed lymphatic massage but she discovered about 15 minutes into the massage that it was not the therapy I needed. She then used several other methods to address the pain. For the first time in 10 years, I am hopeful that I may be able to eliminate some of this pain.
