TESTIMONIALS
“Massage Therapy with Tasha has changed the quality of my life. Her attention and commitment to helping me overcome chronic pain by getting to the root of my muscle tension and posture dysfunction, while helpfully suggesting any stretching or exercise that is beneficial to regaining my strength and mobility is always supportive and constructive.”
“Tasha’s experience in dance and her commitment to her own education exploring new techniques and therapies ensures her approach is consistently holistic and balanced and allows the mutual trust and consistent care that I look for in a RMT. I feel very lucky to have found Tasha and recommend her highly to anyone needing an experienced, attentive and compassionate Massage Therapist.” – Bobbi M.
“When I contracted frozen shoulder on my left shoulder a few months after my recovery from the right shoulder, I decided to treat this one in a different way. Although, the physiotherapists did a great job for my right shoulder, the process was long and painful. So this time, for my left shoulder, I went to see Tasha. After the initial evaluation, she detected what was going on, she started a series of massages under my armpit and muscle around it. She was patient and treated it with strength and gentleness. This time, the treatment was not as painful and the recovery was much faster. I am really grateful of and impress by her attention and her professional treatment. ” – Sharper Shoai
