More Greta's Testimonials

"Greta is an amazing massage therapist! She is very knowledgeable about anatomy and her deep tissue massage technique is perfect, as it targets the knots and muscle tightness with the appropriate amount of pressure for each muscle group. I feel rejuvenated every time I have a massage, and given I work on the computer quite heavily it's becoming vital to have this type of therapy to maintain a healthy posture. Greta cares a lot about the patients and goes the extra mile to ensure the therapy doesn't end at the end of the session but will advise on proper posture and at-home stretches to make sure the patient maintains good health between sessions. Thank you Greta for being a caring therapist!"

K. Meliani

I found Greta based on her wonderful google reviews and ratings. I was looking for someone in the area to perform post surgical lymphatic drainage massage and I am so glad I found Greta! Her experience and knowledge is truly top notch and she made me feel very comfortable. Her lymphatic drainage massages are always tailored to my specific needs at the time. I leave every session feeling wonderful and I am confident it helped aid in my healing process. I even sent my husband to Greta when he was having back and neck pain. He received an orthopedic massage and he said he felt even better than when he goes to the chiropractor. I highly recommend Greta to anyone needing lymphatic drainage, orthopedic massage or any type of massage services.

J. Carney

I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in Oct 2019. After my bilateral mastectomy, I experienced some nerve damage and shoulder damage. Following my initial surgery I had 4 more, totaling 5 surgeries in 10 months. With my arm constantly by my side for a year, the damage continued. I started Physical Therapy in 2020 and continued going for almost 1 year with no progress. I saw an Orthopedic surgeon who wanted to "explore" my shoulder. He couldn't guarantee any results. That's when I sought other means of therapy and found Greta. In just 3 sessions she has been able to make MORE progress than a year of PT did! She's great at explaining what she's doing, why I'm feeling the pain/stretch/limits I'm feeling. She explains the process of how she's going to treat my shoulder in different stages. Currently I'm in the Orthopedic Rehab stage. Once we have this completed, she will move to the next phase of treatment to include prevention of lymphedema as well as releasing the webbing that has occurred under my arm. She is very gentle and never pushes too hard or causes pain. I HIGHLY recommend Greta!!

L. Hamby

Greta is amazing, she is very attentive and professional. She is working with many clients recovering after liposuction, so she knows exactly how to help them to recover. I took one MLD session with Greta before liposuction, and 10 sessions after lipo. I am so happy, because after treatment my legs and flanks have no issue at all. I highly recommend Greta."

Anna I.

Geta's hands provide a healing touch. I've been going to her to receive lymphatic drainage massage as apart of my detox and WOW have, I noticed a difference!!. I typically have swelling in my legs and ankles and since having several sessions with Greta the pain from the swelling has started to decrease. She consistently provides great education on how I can continue to heal my body. She has a positive vibe and healing hands! Thank you, Greta.

C. Ferguson

Greta has more knowledge and experience than I have ever seen! She knows how the human body hurts and why and then knows exactly what to do. She shows compassion and genuine kindness the entire time. She is a lifelong therapist to have.

Lauren E.

Mrs.Greta is AMAZING! She is professional, knowledgeable, sweet and caring! I am seeing her for my lymphatic massages after cosmetic surgery. I developed horrible fibroids after lipo and she was able to bring them down tremendously in a month. I am so happy I found her, she is a life saver. If you are looking for a licensed experienced person for lymphatic massages after your surgery she is the person to go to!!!
