about massage...
Massage is the practice of applying structured pressure, tension, motion or vibration — manually or with mechanical aids — to the soft tissues of the body, including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, joints and lymphatic vessels, to achieve a beneficial response. A form of therapy, massage can be applied to parts of the body or successively to the whole body, to heal injury, relieve psychological stress, manage pain, and improve circulation. Where massage is used for its physical and psychological benefits, it may be termed "therapeutic massage therapy" or manipulative therapy.

a testimony...
"I was diagnosed with Bells Palsy a year ago. Bells is thought to be caused by the herpes (cold sores) virus attacking the 7th cranial nerve. Symptoms include partial paralysis to one side of the face, as well as extreme weakness and exhaustion. Symptoms manifest themselves quickly, within 3-5 days. Typical recovery can take several weeks to several months or longer. I was diagnosed with Bells Palsy on Day 3 of my symptoms. I went to TC on Day 10. The right side of my face was droopy, my right eyebrow was 1 inch lower than my left, my right eye did not blink, and I could not smile. She did a combination deep tissue massage, acupressure and gently worked my face and neck. I came home feeling energized for the first time in over a week. I saw and felt changes immediately. I was so excited I made two more appointments for the following week. I wish I had a picture of the look on TC’s face when she saw the remarkable change in my face! The rapid improvement was truly miraculous.
I am so very thankful for incredible health care professionals such as TC, who use their art of touch for healing. TC is extremely knowledgeable in not only massage, but also nutrition and cleansing. She is quick to share a variety of tricks anyone can do on their own at home.
A year later, I continue to prioritize regular massages with TC and highly recommend her to all. Thank you, TC, for your loving and professional care! " -S.
