As a disabled vet I've had several massage therapists. Alina is BY FAR, the best therapist I've had. Too often a therapist will hear your issue and then go into their standard routine massage. Alina listens to you and what your issues are and customizes each massage to the issues you are having THAT DAY. She "listens" not only to you and what your issues are, but to what your body is telling her. She feels the tension and the tightness and caters every massage to your unique situation. If you were to go in and say "I just want a regular massage", I'm not sure there is such a thing with Alina. Everything is individualized. Like I said, I've been to several therapists and I cannot express how amazing she is. Book your massage with her while you still can, this hidden gem is growing in popularity and YOU REALLY want to be one of her clients before her schedule is overfull.
Alina is amazing, she is strong and able to go deep enough to help my neck feel better, where most therapists can’t/don’t go deep enough. She also offers ear candling, which I have not been able to find in the area. I am sure she is also great if you just need light pressure, but if you are dealing with pain/injury she is a must!
The massage was excellent, comfortable, relaxing room with a fluffy cute dog sleeping nearby. I would say there is only one negative and that is that there is no sitting area outside the room to wait. Just a hallway that leads to other offices. I would suggest waiting in your car until your appointment time and texting Alina to make sure the room is ready. Will be booking again!
