“ I felt completely comfortable and safe with Nancy from the start. She quickly found areas in my body that were tense and unknowingly contributing to my pain. She was always very responsive to the level of pressure I was comfortable with. Nancy’s work left me feeling much better physically and emotionally and I would highly recommend her. In addition to getting an excellent massage therapist, you will gain a warm and compassionate friend. She’s fabulous- try her out!”

"Nancy is an excellent massage therapist: skillful, conscientious, and caring. Her fine interpersonal skills are a great asset enabling her to establish a therapeutic atmosphere and maximizing the benefits of the massage therapy. I have referred colleagues, family, and friends to her and all have been pleased with the results."

“... I was so chronically tensed up and in pain that feeling good for a change was an exciting discovery -- the more I felt better, the more I could see how much I had been suffering, and the more I could see that traditional modern medicine alone would not give me with the optimum health I was determined to achieve.  Nancy's therapeutic massage skills provided great relief to the pain in my neck, shoulders, back, legs and ankles.  She helped me to see and understand the inter-relationship of mind and body issues and offered other insightful suggestions for lifestyle and diet improvements and effective ergonomics for my job. Today I feel better, have more energy and strength, both physically and mentally, than I did 25 years ago!”

"Before I use to think of massage as a frivolous activity reserved for vacations and getaways.  Since my work with Nancy, I see her treatments as a critical and necessary component  of my health and well-being strategy."
