The Jade Gardenia

On Saturday afternoon I had an excellent 75 minute prenatal massage with Carrie. She is very intuitive and knew just what my body needed to relax. I carry a lot of tension in my shoulders and even though I was lying on my side (as prenatal massages go) she was able to massage deep into that tension. That’s no easy task. I felt like I was walking on clouds afterwards. All the stress had dissolved from my body.
Carrie’s space is conveniently and centrally located on S 1^st St. There was plenty of off street parking even on a Saturday afternoon. The space was clean and very quiet. I was extremely comfortable and had a wonderful experience. She offers Reiki, too, and had some cool Chakra sprays and other products from the nearby Herb Bar, as well. I highly recommend The Jade Gardenia for massage.

I’ve seen Carrie several times for Reiki and massage therapy. For anyone looking for a first-​time Reiki session, she’s perfect! She’s quite gifted in explaining Reiki and what to expect.
I usually get a relaxing massage from Carrie; she has a very nurturing and intuitive technique. She has done more therapeutic (Deep Tissue) into my chronically tight shoulders and sore low back, as well. I found her work to be very helpful!
Her new studio is in a great location! Lots of potted plants! Also, she has a huge collection of essential oils, which is a treat!

This was my first experience with Reiki and it was a calming and enjoyable experience. Carrie was immediately welcoming and set me at ease. To be honest I wasn’t expecting much– I have had severe joint pain over the last few weeks– but a quarter of the way through my session I felt waves of energy from my lower back to my upper chest, almost like when you shake the dust from a rug, and I immediately felt a decrease in the pain and even now feel more fluid than I’ve felt in a long while. I would highly recommend Carrie– she provides a very soothing environment and provides intense relaxation.
