Our Hands For Healing

Amazing experience. Alana is professional, sweet, and the best massage therapist I have ever been to. She works magic, focuses the perfect amount of attention in trouble areas, and leaves you feeling incredibly refreshed.

What a treat! I love getting massages here. Alana is professional and makes me feel very comfortable and relaxed. You can tell she is passionate about helping others feel better with the use of massage therapy. I would come here every week if I could!

I went to Alana at Our Hands for Healing for a 90 minute hot stone massage. I’d been given a Groupon for the massage as a birthday gift and was a bit unsure of how it would go as some businesses do not treat Groupon customers well, but I had a great experience using it at Our Hands For Healing.
Appointments for regular massage can be booked through the website, but hot stone massages have to be booked through phone or email. I sent Alana an email on a Monday evening, received as reply on Tuesday afternoon, and went for my massage on Wednesday. Her office is relatively easy to find, although there’s no sign for her business outside — go in the left-​hand door and up the stairs. Parking is shared among many businesses so arrive early to make sure you can find a spot (it was pretty crowded when I went).
Alana was very kind when I came in. I filled out a quick in-​take form, she told me a bit about the hot stone massage as I mentioned I’d never had one, and she confirmed areas I did/​did not want massaged. Her massage room is very quiet and peaceful! She had some music playing (piano/​strings) which was nice, and she had me choose an aromatherapy scent to get started.
The massage started off with hot stones placed on a towel on top of my back. While they were warming up my back muscles, Alana worked on my legs — in all areas, she started with quick, light strokes before building up to firmer strokes. I had said on my form that I prefer medium pressure, but Alana is definitely capable of very deep pressure — a few times I thought I might ask her to ease up, but the firmer pressure ended up feeling very good and was exactly what I needed. She spent a long time on my back as I indicated I had some pain, but also didn’t skimp on massaging other areas. Her use of the stones was really amazing — I am definitely a fan of this form of massage!
All in all, I had a wonderful experience at Our Hands For Healing. I would absolutely visit Alana again, and given that she has a nice discount for students, her services might actually fit into my budget. I would fully recommend getting a massage from Alana.

Excellent massage today with Alana. It was a 90 minute hot stone massage and it felt wonderful. I can’t say enough good things about the quietness of the office and the peaceful serene vibe that Alana gives off. A great massage in a clean, quiet and nurturing environment. I will certainly return.

A wonderful peaceful relaxing and rejuvenating massage. Alana does a great job and provides a peaceful atmosphere.
