    I have been in two car accidents this year and I have never had so much upper body pain, especially in my neck area. Having a massage today was a life saver! I haven’t felt this great in a long time! Yissi was great and asked me many questions about my injuries to make sure I had a fantastic experience! Will definitely be coming back!

  • -Beth H.

    “Yissi is amazing! She has helped me so much with my migraines. Highly recommend.“

  • -Lexi W.

    Yissi is incredible! I have never had a professional massage - Yissi made was very welcoming and made me feel so comfortable. She worked on my problem areas with so much attention.

  • -J. Rose

    “She responded intuitively and with skilled therapeutic pressure to areas of tension but blended that pressure with flow and Grace to make the therapeutic effect subtle and relaxing.“

  • -Brian B.

    I have seen many massage therapists over the years for my scoliosis. Yissi's skills are a rare combination of art, skill, and strength. I joke saying she is a muscle enchantress because she finds the source of the pain and irons it out with her knowledge and intuition.

  • -Jessica G.

    Yissi is incredibly skilled and made me feel completely at ease. I’ve never been more relaxed after a massage, and she worked out a stubborn kink in my neck that had been bothering me for a while. I left feeling refreshed and pain-free. Highly recommend!
