I finally used my gift card from my birthday last year. Livy is superb! She worked my problem areas, and found a few spots that could use attention. And I learned some ways to keep my hands from hurting regularly...looking forward to trying them! So nice to meet you,🙂

I've been going to massage therapists for more than 25 years. I've gone to massage therapists at luxury spas and students still working on their certifications. I've learned that some people definitely have an innate talent for bodywork. Libby is one of those people. She's one of the best therapists I've ever had.

Awesome experience! My husband and I decided on a last minute couples massage and she made it happen. We are from out of town (Syracuse, NY). Joe and Libby were great! So relaxing and we felt extremely comfortable. Next time we are back in town we will be scheduling with them again!!🖒🖒

Libby does a great job. Her goal is to truly help you feel well, not just for an hour after you leave, but for the long term.
