Five years ago, while trying to find a massage studio that worked with my insurance, I came across Jenny at Structural Healing. Her consistency and overall approach keeps me returning. The words I used to describe her style is restorative and therapeutic, yet deeply relaxing. I leave feeling calm and on the mend. What to expect: - A brief check‑in about your needs and any sensitive areas (arrive 10 minutes early) - Parking in the neighboor is quick and easy - A calm, shared waiting room - Relaxing music and a warm table - Add‑ons like cupping, hot stones, and essential oils. I recommend trying the all. Her geranium blend is my personal favorite.
I AM SO HAPPY TO HAVE FOUND JENNY! Part of me wants to keep her a secret but it would be a shame if people missed out on such an exceptional massage therapist. I have gotten medical massages for a few years now and tend to not write down everywhere causing pain because I felt previous therapists preferred to just focus on certain areas. Jenny however listened to what I needed in the moment and then went above and beyond to find muscles I didn't even know existed that needed attention. I left feeling better than I have in years. It was a fantastic mix of relaxation and deep tissue. Already looking forward to my next visit! THANK YOU SO MUCH! (Would also give a bonus star for having Lord of the Rings on the playlist)
Structural healing is exactly what happens during a massage with Rachel. I have been to two massage appointments and each time I have left my muscles have been less inflamed and function without pain. I have always thought of massages as a luxury and am now realizing that getting a massage regularly is a necessity to proper body function and well being. I highly recommend getting regular healing massages from Rachel.
I've been seeing Jenny for over a year now and I always feel fantastic when I leave her office. She's such a good listener, her technique is on point, and I love her aromatherapy blends. I've received a lot of massage in my time, but Jenny is by far the best therapist I've ever worked with!
I have been a massage client for 40 years. I have multiple joint/muscular issues. Jenny is a consummate professional with great instincts and knowledge/expertise. She has helped me immensely!!
Lovely comfortable calm space and Jenny is great at what she does. She listens very well to any notes you may have about what’s going on in your body and then addresses those pain points with expert technique to get you on your way to healing. Highly recommend!
Jenny is a wonderful massage therapist. I'm so glad I found her! She checks in with you before each visit to see where you need the most focus and how your body is doing. During the massage, she always checks in to make sure the pressure is on target and your comfort level and will adjust as needed. Her space is warm, cozy and welcoming, too. I always feel amazing after each visit.
I thought no one could replace Dawn but I was wrong. Jenny is awesome and her massages are healing.
Been a couple of times now to see Jenny and she does phenominal work. My visits have been for massage to help with over-use / getting old type injuries. She takes the time to understand what is wrong and applies great technique. I always come out feeling like a million bucks. Looking forward to my next appointment.
I consider myself quite fortunate to have gotten Ryan Kaufman as my massage therapist after being struck in an auto collision. I can honestly say I've only recovered as far as I have primarily because of his quality work. Not only is he really, really good at what he does, but he's very, very knowledgeable, and can always provide a detailed explanation (that is tailored so I can understand) about the purpose behind his approach in helping me heal. I wish there were more stars to give. I can't thank him enough.
