“I've been going to Cindy for almost 2 years now, and I basically refuse to go anywhere else. We moved out of Olney, and I still drive an hour back to see her. I have dealt with trigeminal nerve pain and TAC headaches for the past 4 years, and seeing Cindy once a month has helped immeasurably. Every massage therapist I had been to before was either only used to doing "self care/spa" type appointments (not necessarily meant for actual pain relief) or were extremely "heavy handed" despite me explaining that my nerve pain makes me more sensitive than others to things like trigger points.
Cindy does an amazing job paying attention to things like my breathing and my tension level, and does not hesitate to back off when I'm in too much pain. She makes sure to either be talking or keep a hand on me at all times during the massage, so that I always know where she is. She also tailors every massage to fit my current needs, and suggests things that might benefit me but I might not know I need. I have seen many places offer things like hot stones or gua sha, but they are always "add ons" that you have to select when you schedule the appointment--you have to know in advance that you want them. Cindy offers this, but also will just DO them sometimes if she thinks you could benefit from them because not everyone knows what they are or if they will help.
She also pays attention to whether or not it seems like I'm in a talkative mood. She loves to talk and listen to whatever I have going on, but also has no issues going silent if it seems like I just need a quiet, relaxing atmosphere.
I started scheduling appointments here because it was the only place in the area that I could schedule online and manage my own appointment. It seems like such a little thing, but when one of my kids gets sick in the middle of the night, and I know I need to reschedule, it's so much easier to be able to do it right then, not having to wait for business hours and not having to make one more phone call on top of work, school, bus barn, doctor's office. I can just go through the link in my email and shift my appointment to another date/time that Cindy has posted. The thing is, though, if calling on the phone is easier for you, you can do that too! You don't HAVE to schedule/reschedule online unless that's what works for you.“
