Testimonials

Brian was my massage therapist. He was excellent- really identified the issue I came in for and specifically addressed it. He also described what he was doing and why to help improve my discomfort. Not ‘just’ a massage. Rather a skilled massage that really helped me.
I’ll be back and highly recommend. - J.H.

Philosophy on Healing:

Bryan is always present and listening with care, with a healing, understanding intent and calm aura.
