Testimonials

"Linda does wonders. She's personable, professional and a highly skilled massage therapist. I have neck, shoulder and back issues and every time I see Linda whether it's a 15 or 45 minute chair massage in the middle of the work, I leave feeling refreshed, relaxed and pain free. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to bring in a corporate massage therapist. She would be a wonderful 'perk' for any employee."
-Endeliza H., Client Manager at Barney & Barney, LLC

"Linda is great at knowing what parts to work on the most. She always comes in with a great attitude and creates a pleasant and relaxing environment in the office. Most of all, it is awesome that she continues to learn and obtain more techniques to add on to her skill set, which makes her a well-rounded, excellent and knowledgeable massage therapist. Everyone loves her in the office and looks forward to her chair massages every time!"
-Erika C., Administrative Assistant at Tidemark

"Linda is the most effective, versatile, responsive and perceptive massage therapist I've ever had, and I've had several.  If you are want immediate improved performance in athletic activity or relief from chronic tension, I can't think of anyone better.  She actively uses your breath and hers to make progress, and will respond faithfully to requests for micro-adjustments.  She smoothly blends multiple massage styles as appropriate, mixing relaxing strokes during a warm-up, deep yet tender massage for sore and tight areas, and an energizing and relaxing close.

Major limitations in my yoga practice, connected to chronic tension (that several massage therapists barely noticed or were able to work with), began to melt away after the first session. Now, after four sessions, I've moved past walls in my yoga practice that had lasted for a year."

"Linda knows what to do when it comes to tight muscles. I am a Bikram Yoga Teacher and know a REALLY knowledgeable massage therapist when I encounter them. Linda is one of these. She intuitively understands how to knead out tight spots and knots in muscles. I was very impressed by her keen sense of body awareness using an intertwined method of Swedish and Deep tissue massage during my last session with her. I highly recommend Linda. She knows her stuff :)"
-Jay W.

"Linda is probably the most excellent massage therapist I've had work on me. I pre-existing back problems and also tend to do high impact sports. Every time I've been to Linda, I feel almost like I'm getting another workout in during the session, but feel more relaxed and cleansed afterwards than I have with anyone else. Linda has incredible hands and excellent intuition into where my pain is truly originating (and it's usually somewhere I never noticed). I recommend Synergi over any other massage therapy business."
