I made an appointment on the recommendation of a friend and I am so delighted that I did. Elaine is magnificent! She has a magical touch that kind of makes you forget that you’re back has been hurting for the past ten years. Her lobby is a little spartan at the moment, but I think that’s because she just moved into her new location at Merritt and Elsie and hasn’t completely finished unpacking. The massage room is pleasantly appointed with plants, music, dim lighting, and a heated massage table and there are no funky smells that sometimes turn me off at spas. Her technique is fantastic and she’s willing to give extra attention to problem areas, unlike at some big-name spas I’ve gone to in the past. I’ve had massages all over the country and she’s right up there with the best of them. The only drawback, as I see it, is that her place is a little small so there’s not really a place to just chill out and soak up all the awesomeness after the massage. She has to be the best massage therapist in Marshall because I can’t imagine anybody better.
