Heather truly is at the top of her game, unmatched in skills and types of therapy a person might need. i had a devastating spinal injury long ago. pinch disc, 3 missing disc, arthritic bone spurs and on it goes. It takes a very well trained and especially good listener as a Massage Therapist to help me. Heather is so strong and if you need deep she'll listen and go, but for me, by others I've been hurt. BUT not by Heather her strong hands are gentle, yet break the cycle of spasm and i'm renewed. Tom A. Hawk
