Lymphatic Massage

by 11291971 at Citysearch

I don't write many reviews but this is an exception. I was diagnosed a few months ago with autoimmune disease. After months of misery and chronic illness and pain, I tried a lymphatic massage with Ali at Therapeia. It changed my life, and that is not an exaggeration. I was suffering from severe edema in the lower half of my body which was accompanied by debilitating pain in my legs. Going from doing Bikram yoga every day and being exceptionally healthy and active to barely being able to get out of bed without intense pain was crushing for me emotionally. I began to immerse myself in research on autoimmune disease and found that my lymphatic system was not functioning properly. It was allowing the fluid to build up in my legs, joints and abdomen. The pain was unbearable. Ali met with me, took time to learn about what was going on and went to work. She explained what she was finding as she did the massage and was educating me on how to manage it on my own at home. She was so knowledgeable and compassionate. Her touch was truly healing. After months of pain and agony, I walked out of her massage feeling like a new person. She also sent me a video on dry brushing so I could learn techniques to manage the condition myself when I needed to. It has been a week, I have been dry brushing and I feel amazing. I was overwhelmed with gratitude....she really was my saving grace. I highly recommend her! She's amazing.....Thank you Ali!

• Pros: Changed my life...literally
• Cons: none

Great massage

by mcrocket at Citysearch

Had a great massage here, but since then have been to two other spas in the city and I have to question the rating of best in city. Makes me wonder if something sneaky did not go on with the voting process. However, I love the comfy seating and spacious feeling. I loved the sweet girl, just wish she did not talk so much and could get some of this dang knots out, but she just did not have the touch.

Would love to come here and hang out after a massage with my honey though, very inviting.

• Pros: lovely sitting area with comfy couch and pillows YUM
• Cons: Therapists quality not as advertised

Great Massage for the Office

by smithy11 at Citysearch

We had Stephanie come into our office for three hours and she was the bomb! I wish she could come every week. She gives an excellent chair massage and I am looking forward to going into the studio for my Hot Stone massage. She listens to your needs and goes deep in the areas that really need it. I would definitely go back to her.

• Pros: Deep, great hands, strong massage
• Cons: Too Short!

I received a massage from Stephanie and she was absolutely amazing! Very understanding of my needs and really focused on my problem area. I felt extremely relaxed, comfortable, and confident that I was in good hands. I am definitely going back to her. I feel 10 times better! What a massage!
