Im so glad to have found Renee. She gives the BEST therapeutic massages in the area. Ive had neck pain for the last 3 years and wanted to try alternative treatments before going to a doctor for an operation which may or may not fix me. My neck was so bad that I had ear ringing and loss of range of motion. Ive tried many massage places from San Clemente to Mission Viejo but could not find a person who could give a really great *therapeutic* massage until Renee. She listens and really cares about your health. I go to her every 2-3 months for a neck and upper back massage and can feel myself

A painful neck after a rough surfing session brought me to Renee late on a Friday evening. She listened and immediately went to work on my neck and back. She has very strong but healing hands! Afterwards, I felt very loose and slept wonderfully. I will definitely return. Thank you very much!

Renee really knows how to work out my most tense areas. It's amazing how she can zero-in on what is giving me the most trouble. She is the best sports massage therapist I have been to and my aches and pain are gone after seeing her!
