I... wish this place had opened sooner when my kids were little, but no matter, its still a great place to go to even without kids. The place is very clean and relaxing.

I was super stiff and sore in my upper back, neck, traps, lats and lower back after a week with my three huskies pulling me and sitting on a plane... for 8 hours as well as family stress. Jasmine assessed me in minutes and asked my permission every time for using a cupping technique on the back, hot stones, hot towels and dug right in checking in with me on pressure the entire time. I have never felt better! Thank you so much Jasmineread more

Cathy C.

I heard about this a week ago and thought it was an amazing idea for busy parents. Today I had my first appointment, it will not be my last.
From... the moment I walked up to the door with my 2 year old daughter I was greeted with a friendly face. The owner even opened the main door for me. Introduced us to the Tot/Child area and welcomed my daughter into a fun cheerful child minding area.
I was seated in a relaxing waiting area with soothing music and a water feature. My RMT introduced herself and brought me back to a massage room that was relaxing and also had soothing music playing. The massage was great. I could relax knowing my daughter was having fun doing crafts and dancing around with the staff. She loved the child sized sinks in the room. She was happy when we left and I was happy to get some "Mommy" time. I will be back for sure.read more

Been visiting mama for over a year now and never looked back. Every massage therapist I have had has been fabulous. I started seeing a psychologist... as well and she is also great.

BOOK WITH NIA! I have been seeing Nia at Mama Massage regularly since being pregnant last year. She is incredible! I have searched for years to find... the perfect massage therapist and I am relieved to know that I’ve found her! I always leave feeling refreshed and relaxed after each massage. I saw Nia biweekly up until 36 weeks during pregnancy and felt comfortable and in the best hands, given her extensive prenatal knowledge and experience. She is truly an expert - very professional, kind, and ensures that the massage is tailored perfectly to your needs. She is always using new techniques, which I love. I look forward to my next massage! I will never go elsewhere!Thanks!Carlieread more

I am a regular client at Mama due to proximity to my home, but what really brings me back time and time again is Sonia D. She listens to your areas... of concerns and treats them accordingly.

She even does facial and jaw massages which I found helpful in reducing the pain I had from teeth clenching/grinding. I would recommend her and Mama to all my friends and family.read more
