  • I have to say that you are just a pleasure! You are so knowledgeable, so kind, intuitive, and have a great personality. I felt so comfortable with you every time I saw you and needless to say, my body and soul thanked me afterwards. Even though I didn’t see you as often as I liked to, I’ll miss you tons. Your new clients are lucky to have you. I wish you all the best!!

  • Mercedes, the RMT was very in tune to what I needed. She was easy to get along with and I felt completely comfortable! She took my pain from a 6 to a 1!

  • At first, I was hesitant that Craniosacral Therapy may work for me, but it works incredibly well. Every time I had an issue, it was resolved within a treatment or two. I have more energy and felt good and very relaxed after each session. I also learned a lot from Mercedes. Will miss you.
