Professional STAFF
Several of our Licensed Therapists prefer not to be on our website.
Each Licensed Massage Therapist is trained in various modalities and all can provide firm to medium deep pressure. Some therapists also offer deep tissue massage. "Deep" is very subjective. Occasionally, clients request considerably more pressure than usual. Although we do not charge more, we suggest a more generous tip for your Therapist.
