"Hope is absolutely THE BEST therapeutic body worker around. I found her by chance but continue to see her because she has been the only massage therapist able to relieve me of several different painful issues. No two sessions are alike. After I strained my lower back by bending over the wrong way, she worked my muscles through the stiffness, and after several sessions I was walking without pain. When I pulled something in my upper arm, she focused on my shoulder and worked the pain out. It's amazing to feel how her fingers start in one place but are inevitably drawn to where the problem lies - often she ends up at the attachment points which seem to be crucial in fixing my problems. Her thumbs are like steel for those rock hard places, yet she always uses very soothing long strokes to give the muscle some TLC after she has finished the tough stuff. Moreover, Hope conveys an interest in her clients that goes beyond just giving you a massage - one that shows she cares about you as a person and truly wants to do all she can to alleviate your pain. In addition, she uses a very simple yet skillful draping technique that leaves you feeling comfortable and secure while on the table. I've been seeing her weekly for more than 10 years - and I intend to continue as long as I am able. Hope is a gem."
