I’m very happy with Marnie and how she has helped with my mobility. The at home exercises are a great way to help with strength and balance.

I first came to Marnie for a massage to help with pain from a knee injury. The massage was unlike any I've had, and felt wonderful. It solved my issue. Marnie has so much knowledge about how all of the body is interconnected, and it manifests in her work. I'm very thankful that she was recommended to me.

Marnie practices bodywork like no one I've ever experienced in my 25+ years of receiving massage therapy. She knows the interconnected workings so well, senses what needs extra attention, and exactly how far to go. Truly, she's exceptional, highly skilled, and my go-to I trust most.

My initial visit was absolutely amazing. Clara knew exactly where to find and release muscle tension and joint pain. The hot stone treatment was a nice bonus.

Marnie is a very talented, strong and intuitive massage therapist. Your tired body feels invigorated and alive after her sessions. Her follow up exercise instructions also aid in repairing sore backs, etc between appointments. A valuable decision well spent on her massage tale. Highly recommend.

Marnie is easy going by nature, thoughtful, organized, and efficient. Marnie is flexible and considerate. Marnie has a unique style, and encourages the client to let go and simply receive/trust in the healing work and release that her therapy can provide.

5.0

This was my third visit to Marnie and she continues to have a positive effect on my hip/thigh/lower back injury and pain. She provided me with some exercises to help in my healing which I think will be quite beneficial. I appreciate her holistic approach as well as her care and attention to not aggravate my injury while I am on the table. She is aware of my limited range of motion as well as knowing which manipulations may cause me pain (and she avoids them!). She is certainly expediting my recovery. Thanks Marnie!
