MASSAGE PHILOSPHYSuzanne believes there is great benefit in the blending of both relaxation and therapeutic massage techniques. Time is taken to warm-up your muscles and tissues, thereby allowing for deeper work without your body feeling attacked and "guarding" or "armoring" against the work we are doing. Suzanne works with your body instead of bullying against it. She works up to your level of comfort and not past a "hurt so good" feeling. Suzanne offers presence based massage, tuning in and attending to your whole being: mind, body and spirit. She will address your concerns and work with you toward your goals, but will readily refer to you another health care provider if your needs outweigh her abilities.
BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY
Suzanne is a stickler for client satisfaction. She respects and appreciates your time. She will strive to always be on-time for your appointment and will return your phone calls at her earliest opportunity. Suzanne values your business and provides a variety of special pricing situations. See the SERVICES page for more information about referral discounts and package plans!
