Very serene atmosphere. Convenient online booking and intake. The RMT I was with targeted the areas that were giving me trouble, but also relieved tension I wasn't even aware of. Very positive experience.

If I could leave a 100 out of 5 review, I would! The BEST DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE OF MY LIFE Wow wow wow. I just had a 60 minute deep tissue massage with Shawna. She found spots in my back and neck, that I didn't even realize I was carrying tension in. My body feels like a trillion dollars now. I carry heavy camera equipment all day and have had back issues slowly creep up on me for a few years. I have had several other massages in my life (deep tissue, thai and relaxation) and none of them have been as attentive or got to my problem areas the way this massage with Shawna did. Also, I love the way the space looks. The lobby area is clean and peaceful and the massage room I was in was dim, quiet (no outside noises), with soft music playing. It is a very soothing and relaxing space and experience. I have already made another appointment and from now on, I will only be going to Shawna for massages. She really knows what she's doing and put my needs first. She made me feel like she really cared about me and truly wanted to help with my back problems. She even took the time to show me how to correctly do specific stretches for my needs and emailed me an exercise plan. Shawna, you have magic hands, knowledge and intuition that I am very grateful I have found. I am in awe of the work you did on me. Thank you.

Our zen paradise at Duke and James. Rachel, Kim, Dara, and Shawna are all wonderful RMT’s and certainly have their craft honed. Very knowledgeable and consummate professionals. Highly recommend.
