I have been a client of Carol's for about 13 years now.  Not only is she an excellent massage therapist, but she is a warm and caring person.  She adds the little things that make my sessions with her extra special.  The eye pack to keep out the light, soothing scents on the face pad, hot packs for my back and for my feet also.  She always has soothing music playing and a wonderful personal waterfall in the background.  Each experience leaves me feeling relaxed and soothed.  I recommend her highly.
