Massage Therapists

GardenWalk massage therapists take a holistic approach to massage and bodywork, each with their own style, personality and specialties. It’s important to us that you feel comfortable with your massage therapist. Please feel free to request a particular therapist, and on return visits, to request the same therapist again, or to try a different therapist. Also, each therapist has a range of styles. If you prefer a certain type of massage, or would like to try something different during a given session, please feel free to ask your therapist about options.
