Rachel was awesome! I’ve been going to some massage therapists for years, and she’s definitely one of the best. Rachel is knowledgeable and knew exactly how much pressure to use to get to the problem areas. And I felt relaxed after the session and slept like a baby at night. I’ve made an appointment already for the next month. Definitely will be a regular customer.
