At Healing Kneads Massage Therapy, all of our massage sessions are customized for each client’s specific needs. No two clients are alike, so no two massages are alike either! Before your session, your therapist will do a quick consultation to assess your wellness goals. Each of our licensed massage therapists are experts in a number of specialized services.
