As a bodyworker myself, I have received a LOT of massage in my time. Trevor and Miriam are two of my all time favorite practitioners to receive from. I always leave there feeling heard, held, and with so much more ease and openness in my body. Their depth of knowledge and attention to the individual goes above and beyond. They are the real deal. I can't recommend them enough.

Amber is an amazing massage therapist! She knows her anatomy and was able to help me with a chronic hip and knee problem that a physical therapist and chiropractor weren't able to help with. She's so pleasant and her room is very relaxing. She's the best but I hesitate to recommend her only because I don't want her to get too busy for me!!!

Miriam really helped me with some rehabilitation work I desperately needed on my recently broken arm. She does a great job working with me thru my pain, informing me as to what is going on with my body and doing it in a kind and peaceful way :D

Miriam was calm, warm, and welcoming when I arrived. I received a wonderful Thai yoga massage and felt great afterwards. I highly recommend. This one was a gift for my birthday, and I look forward to going back.

I've tried many massage therapists in the US and other countries and Trevor is one of the best. He's very intuitive and knows what areas need attention sometimes without me saying or even knowing myself. He also takes a holistic approach and considers what is going on in the body as a whole that could be affecting a localized area.

I have been seeing Miriam for massage for over a year. She took the time to get to know my body and can figure out what needs attention every time I come in! She is able to tailor the massages to how your feeling that day, or if you had a recent strain. Her massage room is comfortable, quiet, and clean. Her knowledge of the human body is fantastic! Highly recommend.
