About Us
Tired of being disappointed with a massage therapist that doesn't listen or understand your concerns, and then fails to deliver a good massage? Here at A Great Massage, licensed massage therapist Sheila Franklin will focus her ten years of therapeutic expertise on hunting down the root cause of your problems and taking care of them as efficiently and pain free as possible, bringing you longer lasting relief while promoting overall relaxation. You should feel renewed, restored, and revived--absolutely ready to face the rest of the work week. After all, when you've finally set aside a little time for yourself, why settle for just a "good" massage when you could be getting A Great Massage!
I can't say that I'd ever had a true 'deep tissue' massage before. Sheila was amazing! She gives new meaning to the phrase 'hurts so good'!
An excellent experience with an excellent clinician. Felt very safe and comfortable during COVID and every time!
Always a treat! :)
Very relaxing experience felt like I could take a nap. ☺️
This is a wonderful place to get a massage.
Sheila is amazing and completely worth going just to see her!!
Sheila is extremely good at her job! She knows exactly how to work the areas that need worked. She cars so much about her clients & takes the time to explain why she's doing what she's doing. She even gives them tips to sustain the results at home. I highly recommend her for any of your massage needs.
I love it you are the best

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!

Shelia provides an out-of-this-world massage experience. She listens to what your needs are and formulates the perfect massage tailored to you. She provides an extremely warm, comfortable, and welcoming space for your massage. She’s an incredible person as well. She’s empathetic, funny and kind. I couldn’t ask for a better experience.

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.
