Donna's Heavenly Massage

Jan 2024

I started getting massages from Donna because I had some physical issues. I was referred to her by a friend. I was told she had very unique training and at the time, I didn't know what that meant. But I do now. She was taught by a Sister Rosalyn that is very well known. Donna also uses some techniques in her massages I've only heard Chiropractor's offer. Graston I think it's called. She uses tools to release histamine and work the muscle. My issue was first polymyalgia. A horrible ailment that strikes after 50. My joints and muscles were in pain. My body hurt so bad and Donna helped my body through deep tissue. She'd massage an area near my neck and shoulders and because my body was so toxic, she had to be very gentle. Eventually she was able to work with my body more deep than originally. My second issue came out later. I had numbness in 2 of my fingers on my right hand. I hated it. I couldn't feel anything. Donna explained to me it was due to some injury over time from my radial and ulna nerves. She showed me where they were and began to work on them. It got better! I no longer have this issue! One time I could barely get up off the floor, I had a pulled muscle in my back. I called Donna, she worked me in. Wow, did I feel better. It takes time to work out these issues with your body. I learned lots about essential oils as she uses them in her practice. The first time she used lavender on me, I was so relaxed I don't think I could have driven a car safely. I can't say enough about her hands. She goes under to your neck and very lightly massages the hair...it's healing because it's loving massage.

I discovered "Donna's Heavenly Massage" from a GroupOn special. It's not as convenient of a location for me but I was attracted by the GroupOn deal and was going to be in the relative area later in the week so, I google mapped it and jumped on the GroupOn. I was in need of a deep tissue or sports massage. The relaxing Swedish massage are great, but I usually go for the deep tissue. Scheduling was easy, and I found out that Donna was trained by Sister Rosalind Gefre. She's the lady that does massage for the Saint Paul Saints baseball team. She even has a figurine made in her likeness. I was even more excited to have my massage with Donna, after knowing her training by such a famous expert in massage. Donna's deep tissue massage really fixed me well. She even added in some great reflexology so I felt like I got the deluxe treatment. I had a pinched nerve that she was able to make go away, and I felt great afterwards. Donna incorporated a number of different techniques based on what I needed and was looking for. It reminds of of Bruce Li's Jeet Kune Do, where he takes the best techniques to develop his own most efficient and effective style. I have made repeat visits to Donna's Heavenly Massage, even though it's a less convenient location for me (I'm located way West past Eden Prairie). I've had Donna focus on more legs or more back, depending on the week and my aches. She's gotten busier because word of mouth is getting out. Fortunately, I still have been able to schedule and get great massages from her. As I stated earlier, she has many techniques, but I really gravitate toward the sports massage, reflexology, deep tissue, and I did do a relaxing Swedish massage, after flying in from a trip. I recommend Donna's Heavenly Massage. She's located in Century Office Park, an office building right off of 94 and Century (it's near Green Mill and you can see it from the highway -it's on the frontage road). One last sidenote, she uses Organic Unrefined Coconut Oil. I never itch from it like I do from the cheaper massage oils. It makes my skin a lot more hydrated (better than lotion -I have really dry skin). Her price is the same! Good deal. I know that she also includes aromatherapy if you request it, and she doesnt charge extra (I asked). Donna's Heavenly Massage is better than a "5-Star". GREAT VALUE.
