“Marsha is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and so knowledgeable about the body, injuries, and therapeutic care. In every aspect of the process - from booking to actually getting the massage - Marsha was very communicative and tailored every step to ensure that I felt comfortable and safe. I've been dealing with complications from chronic illnesses and while I've tried more conventional methods (such as sports PT, etc.), one session with Marsha already did far more for me than any other treatments. I left feeling safe, affirmed, and cared for, and she also gave me great advice and additional stretches I could try at home on my own.” - Rachel P.

“Marsha's massage methodology just makes sense for dancers and physically active folks. She provides constant communication to make sure you're comfortable and bases her practice in consent. In other massages, I always found myself leaving a bit more loose but always longing for more, like my problem areas were just short of being fully addressed. With Marsha, I felt like my areas of focus were given the full attention they needed and I left feeling like some progress had actually been made! ” - Sinnamon

“Marsha creates a safe space to be exactly where you are at the moment. Through slow and gentle movements, she encourages you to reconnect with your body’s wisdom. Tuning in this way, I find the tight spots and weaknesses that I often ignore in faster paced classes. I come out of her class with my body relaxed, and with a deep sense of calm.” - Andrew S
