Gail gave me one of the best massages I've ever had last week! The space is lovely and she shares it with a red light therapy business that is also wonderful. Prior to my massage she asked about any problem areas or places I'd like her to focus on and if I had a preference in oil or lotion and then left me to get on the massage table. When she came back a few minutes later she offered to do some dry brushing first. I'd never had it before and I loved it. Great for exfoliating and for the lymphatic system. When she started my massage she noticed my hips were uneven and by the middle of my massage, I felt like two people stitched together. One relaxed and pain free and the other one still tight but by the end of the massage I felt amazing and when I stood up I felt a little high but also like both of my feet were solidly on the ground! I had no idea I was so miss aligned until I felt what it should be like. I will be quietly breaking up with the other massage therapist I've been seeing because Gail is the best. Pro tip:Do a red light therapy session first and then get a massage. It's a real game changer.
Gail really provides a relaxing experience with her massages, using aroma therapy and skilled finger-work throughout her sessions. Her touch is gentle but effective and won't leave you feeling sore. I fell asleep several times during my massage. After the session she provides feedback about what she notices in your body, which helped me gain a better understanding of tension I didn't even realize was there. I'll be back for more & highly recommend her work.
I've had the privilege, and pleasure, to receive bodywork sessions with Gail for over 5 years. Simply put, Gail is awesome! I appreciate her exceptional therapeutic skills, her compassionate and positive attitude, and her warm and intuitive touch. Gail checks in before, during, and after the session. I love how she blends styles and techniques, and tailors each session according to any specific needs and desires. Gail clearly loves her work, and it shows! She is a true gem... a warm, kind, and nurturing healer. Thank you Gail!
