For the past three years, I have been receiving massages from both the professional staff and the students at the Center. I have been extremely pleased with all of my massages. The students are exceptionally well-trained, and each is unique in how they approach massage and healing. And only $35 for 50 minutes for a student massage! Very highly recommended.

The Instructors and therapist not only helped me with preexisting lymphedema and neuropathy but also my current pregnancy at 32 weeks. They all made me comfortable in every position that they put me in and… addressed every pressure points that I have been dealing with in my body and I was able to be relaxed the whole time. I will be returning during this pregnancy for another prenatal massage! Thank you Center for Massage & Natural Health
