Some things people have said about us!

I went for my first massage today and came out thinking how I would sleep REALLY well tonight.  The massage room is in the basement of the building, with a nice solid massage table, pleasant soft music, and indirect lighting– so no distractions of road noise or anything like that.  Lee has strong arms & hands, and uses a variety of massage techniques, some stretching, and hot towels, in order to relax muscles.  He was able to advise some breathing exercises to use when the massage pressure was more intense.   After the massage was done, Lee made sure I was comfortable and let me take my time getting dressed and ready again.  I also like that Lee’s encouraging local artists to exhibit their work in the waiting-room space– that’s a neat bonus.

I really appreciated the very deep work last night.  I had a workout with my trainer this morning and I could really feel the difference in my strength and flexibility.

I really like the location of your new studio and how it feels when I walk in.  The art and jewelry you have on display make a very nice addition.  I was impressed with the quality of the jewelry and the very reasonable prices.

I liked the massage space and found the table incredibly comfortable.  I just sort of sunk into it.  Your draping methods maintained modesty without feeling confining.  I liked how you enlisted me in holding the drape under my arms at times – it gave me a feeling of control and participation.

The depth of the massage took me to the edge but really challenged me to breathe.  You seemed to be right there with me and always know when the muscle was about to release.  You are incredibly strong and confident.  I would like to try some other techniques soon, perhaps stone, for a little more of relaxing and less challenging time.  For last night, it was just what I needed.  My sleep, which has been a challenge, while not “perfect” was certainly better after the massage.

Thanks for sharing your work with me!

My Partner and I have had Lee as our massage therapist for over five years. Lee is conscientious and dependable and we look forward to seeing him weekly as part of our physical health regimen. He always knows the right amount of pressure to use and intuitively what area of the body needs work.  His massage never feels routine.  It is great to see him in his own richly deserved salon – It’s warm and light filled waiting area has both a calming and spiritual welcoming quality. He is a kind soul, a friend, a wonderful body worker and we love him

Artifex Manuum Spa & Gallery is a comfortable space.  I like the art scene support they show by offering local artists work for sale in house.  My massage therapist is Lee and he is very professional and does excellent work.
