On a scale of 1 to 10 Mary Helen rates a 20. Everything she does is superb, from a personal greeting as you come in the door, sitting quietly and discussing problem areas that need addressing, to the actual therapeutic massage. She is, in my opinion THE BEST massage therapist I have ever had treatments from. She never fails to find "OH MY GOSH" spots that I had no idea existed. Her hands and feet are magic.

Mary Helen not only listens to where you tell her you feel tension or are having trouble, but she intuitively finds other “root problems” that contribute and addresses them for better outcomes. Each session is unique.
