I visited Deb 3 times. The second visit took care of pain that I have had for several years. I certainly will return and would suggest anyone to set up an appointment with her for massage therapy.

If you care about covid exposure be sure to negotiates precautions in advance. I made clear when booking mask and distancing was important. I was disturbed when Deb suggested at our initial meeting we could remove masks because we were socially distanced. I said no as we were no more than 5 feet apart in a small poorly ventilated room. The massage, focused on my neck, was great but I was horrified when I rolled over and saw her nose was out over the top of the mask and realized she had been hovering right over me for 30 minutes in that state.

This is not your typical quiet massage experience. This is a learning experience in how to care for yourself and learn to begin ridding yourself of pain. Deb is full of energy and talks through the entire exam. She seems very knowledgeable and explains everything she is doing and why. She was also very thorough in explaining to me what my role is in managing my pain. This was my first visit but I am definitely going back.

Report
I'm a sponsored, competitive marathon runner. I was dealing with a foot injury that had me on the couch for 10+ weeks! I had been doing PT appointments twice a week for weeks, I went through two pairs of custom orthotics, and even saw multiple doctors/specialists about the tendon in my left foot. Nothing was getting me back to running. I then saw Deb, and a few days after our appointment, I was running again. Every visit, some other part of my foot, ankle, and/or calf is fixed, and I'm able to run more and more! 100%, I would not be where I'm at with this recovery without Deb! I highly recommend
