Shelia takes her time to get to know you, your goals for the session, and the areas you want to specifically target. She provides a professional yet soothing atmosphere to maximize your comfort and relaxation. She provides further home instructions for any areas I was particularly struggling with or that she noticed during my treatment. Would highly recommend her to anyone wanting a high quality massage from a caring individual that produces great results!

Over the years I have experienced several different massage therapist. Sheila is a true professional. She is extremely knowledgeable about the human body and brings value to my session by sending me home with suggestions on stretches or exercises to help maintain my health, and ways to reduce inflammation and stress. I have been coming to Sheila for 7 years and she has never gotten complacent. She still does a thorough prelim and asks about pressure and temperature during each session. Sheila goes above and beyond to make my experience comfortable and exceptional.
