As a Physical Therapist I am very critical of whoever works on me and probably notice things others don't. I have to say that Rita is always professional, yet personable and very good at what she does. I would recommend her to anyone.

From her voice to her hands, Rita soothes and heals the body with mindfulness; I leave feeling renewed and the beneficiary of her gifts.

I have had many massages over the years with very experienced therapists and I can honestly say that Rita is the best. My aching muscles are always 100 percent better when I finish a session with her. She is very professionsal and a lovely person as well. I would send my friends to her any day!

I've been to many massage therapists over the years, many have come and gone. My loyalty is to Rita. She simply knows how to read my mental and physical states, bring all of my elements together and place them into a higher place.

I met Rita when my neck was totally in spasm. She was able to work out the kinks within 1 hour and I've been hooked ever since. Since that time, she has become licensed in Acupuncture which she used to relieve a terrible muscle pull in my back. I highly recommend her style of combining Acupuncture with Massage. She's just the best!!!

I was amazed by how much better I felt after an acupuncture and massage session with Rita during one of my frequent stiff neck/back episodes. When she was finished, the pain was gone and I had complete ease of movement. I have tried numerous remedies over the years to combat the major discomfort I feel and nothing has ever helped in the way the session with Rita did. Perhaps the best part was that I remained loose and pain-free for months after the session – the longest I have ever gone without any back or neck issues. My only regret is that I live in Florida – too far away for another session!

I had a frozen shoulder for over a year that would not respond to physical therapy or cortisone shot treatments. Rita very quickly identified the problem and used Gua Sha. Following only one treatment, I regained significant movement in my shoulder and following a second I had nearly full range of motion. In two one-hour sessions, Rita was able to relieve my pain, return movement and restore normalcy to my life.

Having come through a battle with cancer, I found myself riddled with neuropathy as a side effect of powerful chemo treatments. My hands and feet were numb and almost useless. My sense of touch was shattered and being a musician by trade, my life as I had known it was over…I couldn’t play a guitar, couldn’t play a piano, couldn’t hold a pencil or pick up a quarter from the floor. Rita approached my neuropathy with a calm, confident and very pro-active attitude. She used several different therapies with me and we approached every treatment as a team In a few months time, I’ve gone from being almost paralyzed to having a good percentage of my movement back. Most importantly, I’m able to be a musician again…my hands, which couldn’t function for all the neuropathy, can play some guitar and piano again, I can button my shirts and tie my shoes. My feet, having improved, I can now walk like a man again, not waddle and stumble. Many doctors and nurses saved my life from cancer, Rita has saved my life a second time. Her attitude is straightforward, upfront, gracious and friendly. It is also inspiring that when I was depressed and full of anxiety for my future, she almost single handedly kept me afloat…I’m very lucky and grateful we crossed paths.

I have known Rita for 15 years and in that time have had dozens of massages and acupuncture sessions with her. She is guided by her extraordinary intuition and years of training which allow her to focus on your individual needs. Her approach is holistic and personal. A session with her is more than relaxing and therapeutic massage, but she also offers guidance on posture, functional movement and nutrition. Her warmth and approachability puts you instantly at ease. After a session with her, I feel physically relaxed, balanced and have an overall sense of well being.

Rita provides a holistic approach to help heal physical and emotional needs of her patients. I myself am a cancer survivor, and have benefited greatly from the treatment program she designed for me, from Reiki and expert massage therapy, as well as changes to diet and exercise to improve my health. I highly recommend her.

I call Rita the Miracle Healer. I used to think of massage as a luxury, but when Rita cured a stiff neck that had been bothering me for several months, I began to change my attitude. I am over 60, and I like to exercise. I now think of massage as essential preventive care that keeps me from injuring myself and treats problems that would limit my activities. Just this week, I called Rita in a panic. My shoulder was very sore and I was taking ibuprofen and trying not to use the shoulder at all. It was still quite painful, and I had to skip my classes. Rita responded immediately and treated my shoulder (and the other “usual suspects”). It still hurt when she finished, but she assured me that the muscle would relax by the following morning. The next day, I sent her this e mail message: :) :) :) :) , then went off to exercise class.

Rita gives the most incredibly relaxing massage experience one could ask for... everything about the experience is ZEN. The aromas & sounds in the room, her firm touch and gentle manner all combine to melt away stress and tension; you feel like a new person when you leave and that feeling lasts a long time afterward.

The sentence, “One tick bite can change your life forever” rings all too true for this 39 year old mother of two little boys. I did not understand my symptoms at the time; I just knew in my gut that something was very wrong. After seeing countless doctors and specialists in all areas of medicine, I finally tested positive for Lyme disease and began the journey to regain my health which took close to two years. Six months of different antibiotics and a weakened immune system started to bring to the surface more health issues that lasted for months at a time. It was taxing on the body, physically but also mentally. I hit a plateau at a certain point of my recovery. I felt as though I only reached the 85% better mark consistently. I felt hopeless. I started to realize, that if I wanted to return to good health, I had to rely on more than doctor prescriptions. There are three things that got me full recovery and I am so very grateful that at that moment in my life, they entered as if planned by divine intervention. First, I had to get back to a good place spiritually and mentally. Reiki and meditation really helped with this. I had never been a believer but after this experience, I realized the very important role this played in my recovery and still does today. The second was eating well and sticking to it. The third and most surprising to me was massage. I remember feeling tired for almost two days after my first massage session. I could almost feel the toxins leaving my tissues and muscles. After three months of weekly massages, I reached 100% recovery. I couldn’t believe it but I would highly recommend it to anyone who takes medicine for extended periods or has stress from an illness. I am forever grateful and thankful to Rita for her help in my recovery.

My 17 year old daughter has been in chronic pain since having surgery for a scapular bone lesion 4 months earlier. Each time we returned to the medical doctors the only solution they would offer was additional medication, which did not work. At my wits end, we searched for alternative pain relief. Before this experience I was quite skeptical of acupuncture. It was AMAZING! After the first session with Rita, I had my happy child back.
