Megan Brooks, CMT

I can’t say enough great things about Megan and her massage skills. Let me start by saying that I am super picky about massage therapists. I have tried other therapists who were very highly recommended right here on Unilocal,only to be hugely disappointed. I’ve tried other places that have many therapists employed — tried a number of them and none of them were exactly to my liking.
And then I found… Megan. I like firm pressure with the occasional deep tissue massage. Megan is so strong and capable. Even though it feels quite firm for me, I’m pretty sure I’m only getting ½ or less of her strength capability. So if you like it really firm or deep, Megan can do that for you too. What she’s wonderful with is her flow. And flow matters with a massage. Her position changes are never abrupt and her hands are like melted butter on your body. I don’t like to talk AT ALL when I’m getting a massage and she is perfectly silent. No grunting, no noise whatsoever.
What I really, really appreciate about Megan is her knowledge of the human body and its anatomy. She seems a step above the average bear when it comes to this. She is the only masseuse I have ever gone to who pays attention to the buttocks. Most of the time, other masseuses would skip right over the buttocks. Not Megan — and for me, it makes a huge difference. Megan’s approach is a holistic one. She views the head, neck and back as all being connected and aligned through the hips. If the hips are out of kilter, the back will likewise be messed up.
I highly, highly recommend her. She’ll do whatever you want her to do, but somehow is so intuitive about knowing what it is that you need. When I come out of my massages with her, I feel like she’s taken me apart and put me back together the right way. She’s that good. I have trouble walking for a couple of days afterward, but once the soreness subsides, a lot of my ongoing aches and pains are put right until the next time. I will never see another massage therapist again.

I’m certifying her as one of the best! :) She’s intuitive, friendly, warm, knows what she’s doing, clear, patient, and is definitely an expert in her field. She’s able to modify, she’s open, and has the ability to press really deep in a controlled manner (without slippage) if that’s what you need, her flow is smooth and relaxing. If you don’t talk, she’s right there with you. If you’re in a talkative mood, she can be too. I’ve seen her many times and I can’t wait to see her next week! :)

I’ve seen Megan a number of times for massage and always leave happy. Megan is not only one of the ablest and knowledgeable therapists I’ve seen, she is also a student of her field, constantly improving and tweaking her practice and technique. I appreciate that Megan can pinpoint trouble spots and has the strength to apply deep tissue pressure to release the tension and scar tissue in troublesome muscles. She can really read the body with her hands. It’s impressive.
