I received a massage from Shannon. And she did a wonderful job. She didn’t only take care of my body physically but also mentally; she is truly an amazing and caring person. I had a wonderful experience. She is going to go far in the massage therapy world; and I can say that with confidence as my mom is a licensed massage therapist. I didn’t feel like I was getting a massage from a student I felt like I was getting a massage from a professional and I cannot wait to follow her. She has such an amazing personality, soul, aura and energy that is just so open and inviting. Highly recommend Shannon for your massage needs!

I had a massage with Shannon and was very impressed. Not only was her pressure perfect for the issues going on with my back but her flow was smooth and professional. I will definitely be back to see her!

I had a Dermalogica PRO facial with Gigi this evening and it was such a great experience. She took great care to make sure the temperature of the towels was just right, avoided steam because she knew I was using retinol, and had such a gentle touch. She thoroughly worked in each product and incorporated very thoughtful massage to the head and shoulders area. I will definitely be booking with her again!
