I found out about this place via Groupon, and felt it was worth a try because of how cheap it was. With all other places offering massage, the lowest is $60/hr and that’s the rare exception, the rest are $70/$80/$90 or more for an hour. So I say, if you’re worried about not getting massaged every single minute of that hour, just go elsewhere and pay the higher fees. Even though she does like to talk for a bit, and yes leaves the room for about 5 minutes twice while the oils and heat dome work through your body, I felt like i got my monies worth. Especially as each time I was there longer than the hour, as was each person that I know that had also gone there- so the time evened out. Both times I’ve gone so far I felt very relaxed, and left feeling so energized it was like I’d guzzled several espressos or energy drinks, and was able to get a lot done because of it- that’s huge for someone with chronic fatigue disorder. The process is different than other strictly massage places, yes, but it works (at least for me and the others I know that have tried it. Everyone has different preferences and expectations, so you can’t expect everyone is going to feel the same about everything). And I’ve never had any problems getting ahold of Nadine… but then, I pay attention to the business hours. She doesn’t live at the building the business is in! No matter where you go, every person is going to have a different technique based on thier education, trainings, abilities, etc. Hers just happens to be more reflexology based so, yes, it’s going to be a lot on the feet and back. But I’m thinking a lot of the people complaining about this place didn’t look into it at all before going, didn’t ask questions before/during booking, and didn’t speak up during the process…. Because she’s very up front about her technique and explains the process well. And each time I told her a specific concern, like my neck and shoulder area, she did cover that area. But then, I go into a pastry shop with no prior knowledge, don’t say a word and just think about a donut when I say ‘give me what you got,’ I’m not going to freak out and complain because they can’t read my mind and give me a cupcake instead. Words matter. That said, the Facebook page may be pretty personal and alarming and a lot of stuff has no place being put on a business page (it seriously needs a lot of re-working), but to play devils advocate I’m sure a lot of service/business people have similar shocking beliefs/attitudes and just don’t advertise them… I’m a realist. Her political beliefs and etc. doesn’t effect the service, not a single bit of it was ever brought up, and it was a clean, professional and enjoyable experience- so I felt that was all that mattered at the time. I don’t need to know who my barista voted for to enjoy my coffee.

I was skeptical after reading these reviews. They couldn’t have been more wrong. This woman was great! She spent almost 2 hours rather than the 1 hour that I paid for. I felt so much better when I left! Definitely booking more appointments! She really cares & wants to help u feel better! I agree with the other post, if your vaccine works so well, what does it matter if she got the jab?
