Lmt for 15+ years. I have received a lot of body work and Rhiannon is thorough and capable to the extent I trust her for anything I am experiencing. Friends and coworkers comment a noticeable difference. To anyone who will listen, make the appointment today for when you can.
I give Rhiannon my full-throated recommendation. I had intense back pain when I started seeing her that I couldn’t manage to resolve through other means, and since starting to work with her, my back has improved tremendously (I hardly notice any issues anymore). She also has a great demeanor. She is very friendly, and will talk you through exactly what she’s doing and why, and will answer any questions you have along the way. I highly recommend you see her if you have discomfort you need resolved.
Rhiannon was recommended (highly) by a friend of mine that also experienced lower back pain and had trouble addressing it through various treatments and therapies. After my first session, I could already sense a difference in how I felt physically as well as emotionally. Importantly, I was also given tools for mindfulness, meditation, and breathing so that I could continue my work between sessions. I am very grateful to Rhiannon and continue to look forward to our sessions.
I am thrilled to share my experience with Rhiannon, who has been nothing short of amazing in my journey towards personal growth and self-discovery. After engaging in traditional CBT and exploring various aspects of spirituality, I have found that the breakthroughs I’ve had during Rhiannon's sessions far surpass any progress I made before. I cannot recommend Rhiannon enough. She is a wonderful, caring, and supportive practitioner who has played a pivotal role in my healing journey. I am truly thankful that I found her and her practice, and I look forward to continuing this transformative journey with her guidance. If you're considering seeking support, I wholeheartedly encourage you to reach out to Rhiannon—you won't regret it!
I came to Rhiannon looking for some pain relief. I have been dealing with a torn adductor for two years now which has severely impacted my ability to workout and play sports. I have been working with her for about a month now and i have seen dramatic improvement in not only my pain levels, but in my mobility as-well. Along with the traditional massage techniques she has helped me with breathing patterns, relaxation techniques, and biomechanical issues that were unknown to me. I can’t recommend Rhiannon enough! She has me on the right track for the first time in years!
My experience at Philosopher's Stone Massage with Rhiannon was exceptional. She made it a point to understanding my specific concerns and goals. She took the time to listen attentively, and asked thoughtful questions to make sure she fully understood my issues. Rhiannon has a great combination of expertise, empathy and a genuine desire to help.
I experienced my first ever massage with Rhiannon and it is an understatement that she is knowledgeable in the areas where the human body experiences tension and stress. Rhiannon was even able to detect where I had experienced a previous injury. A truly educated and warm spirited holistic healing massage therapist. Rhiannon is one of those skilled therapist that truly wants to help her clients during and post session. Strongly support taking a visit to her cozy and welcoming studio, she just earned a regular customer. Thanks Rhiannon!!!
My doctor recommended I try therapeutic massage for my back pain so I contacted Philosopher's Stone. Rhiannon is wonderful. I started getting monthly massages and it really has been a life saver. I have scoliosis and Marfan's Syndrome. I started out with Rhiannon with a pain level of almost an 8 some days. Now most days my pain is around a 3 sometimes a 4. Rhiannon is great because she teaches and checks in to find out if you are improving. I sense a subtle change in my posture, I feel that I am more even and less off balance. I had a lot of tightness in my neck and my hips and that is much less. My massages have really improved my quality of life. I recommend the service to anyone. If you have back issues this could really help.
I've had 2 recent appointments with Rhiannon and I can't say enough positive things about my massage experience. I have various joint pains throughout my body, including back pain and a serious knee injury. Prior to the massage, Rhiannon listened to my concerns and was able to directly address my problem areas. The pain relief following my session has been amazing and far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a great, professional massage experience. I know that I will be back!
I had such a wonderful experience at Philosopher's Stone!!! Rhiannon took her time, was very thorough with her every moment, and instructed me on how to do my own pelvic massage (for self care). Her massage gave me the physical and emotional release that I need to heal properly and naturally from female reproductive issues (fibroids). Thank you Rhiannon for being a part of my healing process. --Monika
