Abhayas Garden L.L.C. — Massage therapist in Louisville, KY

Rita carries a rare gift: she doesn’t just “do” massage -she listens with her whole being. In her sessions, I felt her gently sensing the movements my body was already whispering for, guiding me back into alignment without force. Each encounter became an invitation to move in ways I hadn’t realized I was longing for. What unfolded was more than physical relief—it was a spacious, healing experience that left me feeling attuned, renewed, and deeply cared for. I am grateful for the subtle wisdom and presence Rita brings to her practice.

I’ve worked with Rita on and off for over a year. Her offerings are custom tailored to meet you where you are the moment you arrive on her table — for me, every session has felt unique. Her work has been integral in supporting me through life transitions. I highly recommend making Rita at Abhaya’s Garden part of your holistic support system.

Rita provides a very enriching, positive, and caring experience; stemmed from her compassionate and sensitive nature. She provides a very peaceful and safe environment, while working to provide the right treatment for her clients. The shiatsu therapy I've received has been profoundly impactful in taking care of my mind and body, providing mental clarity and tension relief. Her therapy goes beyond typical physical support, I recommend for all looking to support their body and mind.

Transformative. I visit Rita for many reasons, but we focus a lot of our time on Bach Flower remedies and craniosacral therapy. Rita has the unique gift to tap into the unknown and the things she has shared after our sessions have been eye-opening- even leaving me speechless at times. I always leave feeling grounded and restored energetically and emotionally. There is a unique magic at Abhaya’s Garden that you must absolutely experience for yourself.

Rita is very in tune to the body. She is good at utilizing different techniques in order to meet my specific body needs. I always look forward to her massages and walk away feeling more relaxed with less tension.

I went to see Rita for a massage, not knowing what to expect, and it was amazing. After the massage, the feeling of wellness was amazing—a huge change. The feeling lasted for several days, as I noticed a big help to my sleep. Rita is an outstanding healer.

I have been thrilled with Everyday Shiatsu. I have used the service regularly for years and am always delighted with the results. Rita is a gifted and spectacular practitioner of the art. So whether I am there for a healing touch or just relaxation, I always get what I came for.

Rita is an amazing massage therapist, healer, and body worker! I would suggest her to all my friends. I have been her client for 2 years and my body is always relaxed after my sessions and her healing touch helps to relieve emotional and physical stress that I carry.

Rita Danis is an incredibly professional and talented body worker. I received shiatsu from her for the first time about a year ago and it was absolutely a lovely experience. I felt refreshed and relaxed and would definitely go again. She was able to give me a concise reading of my energy. I highly recommend her as a therapist!

My experience receiving Shiatsu from Rita was immensely positive. Rita brings a presence to her work that creates a safe, nurturing and supportive space for true healing. I have come away from these sessions feeling deeply replenished and balanced. Rita also worked with my 10 year old daughter when she was healing from an injury and I was really impressed with the gentle yet thorough support she brought to that treatment as well. Our family has been so fortunate to access the beautiful care that Rita offers. I highly recommend her work!
