Starr is really in tune with how the body works and is interested in what my needs are; she applies that knowledge to give a relaxing and therapeutic massage. I feel like she is sincerely invested in giving me the best experience she possibly can, every single time, and goes the extra mile with suggestions to address issues in between massages. Highly recommended!

Starr has an in-depth knowledge of pain referral patterns, biomechanics and soft tissue anatomy. She can pin point problem areas and fix them within one or two treatments! She truly loves what she does (which is her gift) and frequently seeks to enhance her bodywork by attending workshops and translating her new knowledge into practice immediately. She is also very personable and genuinely cares about her clients. Highly recommend her as a massage therapist!

I have to say, my experience here was great! I can't say enough good things about Derek. He did such a great job. I've had other messages but, it seemed like they worried more about signing you up for a membership rather than listening to the reason your there. Derek listened to what I had to say and he went to work on me! The guy does wonders. Not to mention, hes a super cool and nice dude! If you're on the fence about going here, just go. You won't be disappointed.

I loved my visit with Circle of Light Massage. I had a Swedish massage and it was perfect and relaxing. Lacy was my massage therapist, and was amazing. The room I was in was Harry Potter themed, which was a fun dose of whimsy thrown into the whole experience. I'll definitely be back on a regular basis.
