Cat, the proprietor and masseus, is a godsend. I get theraputic massages with her to alleviate some serious damage that using my hands/arms/wrists for all my work and hobbies causes to them as well as my shoulders, back, etc. Her massages alleviate the pain and restore mobility for me. She is also just super friendly, knowledgable, and professional. She has given me advice on stretches and other self-care techniques that help in between visits.

Also, the space (room, bathroom, waiting area) is all lovely, relaxing and v.v.v. clean.

She custom tailors each massage to suit your needs. I typically use her skills to relive muscle spasms and tension due to a chronic condition, but could easily see myself enjoying a more relaxing spa-inspired treatment as well. Booking and payment is easy & digitally aided. Her location is clean,... read full review
