A review from a Yelp user, Pat B, wrote on 2/10/19 a top-rated 5 star review for Becky. It does not show on our Yelp site, due to her being new to Yelp. She wrote:

Becky gave me a massage last Friday and it was fabulous. I have a low back injury to the QL, and she really found it, and her massage helped the muscles relax. She is strong and has a ton of knowledge and experience. She helped me understand the difference between the benefits of icing and using heat, and how long and where to apply, also showed me how to get up out of bed, and good stretches to do. Finally, she worked on my hip flexors, and let me know that tightness there really leaves me vulnerable to injury in my low back. Loved it all! Highly recommend. Thank you Becky!
