S F2024-02-16Dora does an amazing job. She listens to you and addresses your needs. She helped my shoulder and neck pain. So glad I found her. Wish I found her sooner. I will return.
Giselle Laiton2024-02-06Dora has healing hands. She got rid of my lower back pain, tension in my trapezius and accumulated stress. I left her practice breathing and feeling better. Best massage ever!
Polly Cornelius2024-02-04Dora is a healer!
Joy Scott2023-12-07Phenomenal experience!! I’ve received biweekly massages since 2008 for chronic pain management. My original therapist relocated this year & I was in need of a new therapist that offered the wide verity of pain management techniques I need to include cupping. Look no further. Dora is wonderful. You will not be disappointed. It is rare to find a specialist that can apply firm pressure and cupping without causing pain for fibromyalgia patients. My session was simply perfection.
Ralph D'Ambrosio2023-10-21Dora is excellent at addressing your areas of concern before the massage. She then customizes it to treat those specific areas. I would highly recommend Dora for those looking for a complete massage treatment.
Adreonna Coley2023-09-02Amazing experience! Great atmosphere and relaxing massage.
Ivan Canada2023-07-12Dora is a skilled and talented massage therapist; you can tell she knows the body, muscles and tissues. I'll be back and will continue to go on a regular basis.
C W2023-04-17This massage was well needed. Dora has healing hands. She’s informative and professional. Her energy is beautiful. I’ve experienced several different masseuses and she’s by far the all around best. Thanks Dora!
TheNerveofNeraa_2023-02-03I just love Dora. I try different massage therapists to see who does the best and I have found my person! I will be back
