Adam Lacki: So far I've had two massages here at Blue heron academy and both times I was pleasantly surprised by the skill and knowledge of the student massage therapist with them exhibiting different massage techniques while addressing all of my problems directly without issue focusing on my lower back and my upper back as I am recovering from a state of bed rest after back surgery with talitha showing a lot of enthusiasm throughout the massage making for a very positive experience.... And both showed surprisingly strong hands for a student massage therapist! I will be coming back again for more treatment

theguy brah: Great place, friendly staff and nice facilities. I lift furniture, building materials, concrete, etc full time. After about 2 months of constant discomfort after one massage session it felt like the reset button on my shoulders and back was clicked. Literally felt brand new and will be going here often from now on!

Sandra Griffin: Blue Heron Academy is really an awesome place for my aches and pains. Megah T did a great job. I am inclined to refer my friends to your academy. I had a wonderful experience. Thanks for taking care of my problems.

Thanks to her, the quality of my life has greatly improved. I highly recommend Gaiane.

Erin Heavilin: Great experience! Highly recommend. Katie Brown was wonderful and I will definitely be going back!

Lo: I have never had a bad professional massage, or so I thought! I just left my massage with Gaiane Cherpes and I can't remember ever feeling so rejuvenated AND relaxed after a session. My session was only 60 mins so I can only imagine how amazing 90 mins would be. Great communication from start to end. I like deeper pressure and store so much tension in my hips and neck. It was all at once great deep tissue, but also soothing. Everything used smelled so good and the atmosphere/ambiance all around was very natural. Just what I like.I recently started a search for somewhere to go for massage regularly, and found Medical Mile Massage and Wellness online. I had read a few reviews from google. Some had negative mentions about Gaiane. BUT she had a time slot open that worked exactly with my schedule, so I booked online. I'm so thankful that I didn't let any other reviews deter me. My experience was amazing. I'll be back to see her as regularly as I can.

tony poynter: If regular doctors fail you then go see this group of great people. They are real healers and will set you on a path of recovery.

Sheriana Kasim: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,QualityBest massage I have ever gotten is from Gaiana. I felt so relaxed and enjoyed the whole experience. I will definitely return.

Alyssa Abdelnour: Had my second massage here today. My first was with Katy and she was absolutely amazing. She went way above expectations and I felt extremely relaxed afterwards.My second today was with Gaiane and was absolutely HORRIBLE!! It was clear that she did not know what she was doing. At times, she wasn’t massaging me at all, other times she was scratching her hair and then directly touching my face (I’m extremely grossed out).Gaiane basically drenched me in oil and “massaged” in an extremely unorganized (never equal on both sides), choppy, and either no pressure at all or in an extremely painful way.100% recommend Katy, but do NOT go to Gaiane!!

Margaret Pierce: A-MA-ZING!!!! My friend found this place for us to get massages while we were on a weekend away and we are so glad, both of us had wonderful massages and everyone that worked there was so nice! Would be back next week if it wasn’t a 2 hour drive.

Kaytlin Speaks: Always have a fantastic massage experience here!

Steven: My girlfriend and I got a couples massage and it was absolutely amazing! The environment is very nice and relaxing. The beds are comfortable and heated (optional). The massage was one of the best I've ever had. She got in deep to all of my sore areas and I left feeling so loose and relaxed. I recommend to anyone looking for a great massage!

K Lapham: Massage was awesome. Felt so much more relaxed and flexible when done.

Nicholas Nevseta: Went in today with my fiance for a couples matcha massage performed by Rachel & Katie, if you are searching around for a place to get a good quality massage like I was, stop right here.

I will be going back for one on one visits with Rachel and I highly, HIGHLY recommend you go in and get a massage. You will only thank yourself and want to come back.

Jennifer Crampton: Great place for massage! They are very caring. They listen to your concerns and help you heal.

Cody Dykstra: Great place to get a massage. Friendly staff as well.

Kelly Brown: I can't say enough good things about my deep tissue massage with Katy! I was coming off of a week walking on concrete floors at a tradeshow and being cramped in an airplane. My knees, feet, hips and shoulders were so tense and I felt like I was walking crooked. I am extremely picky when it comes to massages and like someone who can do great deep tissue work, stretching and help with alignment. Katy did all of those and then some! She used techniques I've never experienced and I left feeling much better than when I came in. I highly recommend her.

Tim G.: I herniated / ruptured my lower disk and after years of rehab and chiropractic care, I still could not do many of the things I once enjoyed. Woke up sore and would go Into back spasm easily and often. So bad, it would buckle my knees I tried a masseuse but it didnt really helped. A few years later, I received a membership for massages and tried over a dozen different people. I quickly learned the difference between a proper back massage and a back "rub". This is when I ran across Pete. He was different right off the bat. He asked and listened about my pain. He was able to explain what was happening and created a customized routine with stretching and a targeted sports massage. Within 6 months I was golfing again and doing other things I thought were gone forever. I haven't had a back spasm since the third treatment and no longer go to the Chiropractor. I wish I had learned this years ago. Masseuse are like artist and all VERY different. Pete is a master at his craft.

Sandy Nuismer: Takes the time to find out what your needs are, and to help the best. I highly recommend Pete.

Sarah Miller: Amazing!!! It has taken a long time to find someone that know and understands the mechanics of the body to help w injuries to the piriformis as well as IT band. Pete is solid!! Amazing.

Zach Betts: Peter was more than professional. Was able to explain everything that was going on with my body and made me feel more than comfortable throughout the massage process. I would not consider going anywhere else.

Ricardo Valverde: Thanks Pete, you got me race ready!! Appreciate the help 💪🏼🚀

Mitch Monnin: From the warm greeting, to the time spent to truly understand my goals and the clearly demonstrated knowledge of physiology and how it relates to my issues, Pete was a marvel. I left feeling better than I have in months and I immediately signed up for a full year subscription plan! I can't recommend GR Sports Massage and Pete highly enough.

Country By Terrilyn: If you are an athlete and have niggles/injuries/tightness/mobility issues this is the place to go!

Whitney Phillips: GR Sports Massage is the place to be! Pete is extremely knowledgeable and willing to take on the challenge of caring for your delicate body. He has the degree & experience to walk you through the process of why your body is feeling the way it is & to elucidate this process for us. Being a trauma patient survivor I have had experience with many types of rehabilitation & needless to say I think Pete just might be my favorite! He is quick to respond to your inquiry & definitely took the time to get me back up & running full steam. Take my word for it, you won’t regret it. Plus…. a massage should be on everyone’s bucket list as they truly are amazing.

Lindsey Lilley: I was highly impressed with Pete’s understanding of the body and body mechanics. He went above and beyond to listen to my concerns, explain his approach and treat my issues. I’ve been struggling with a nerve issue the past few months, During and after the massage, I noticed an improvement. Also, Ad someone who puts their body through a lot of stress, I’m looking forward to working with Pete on a proactive basis. I HIGHLY recommend Pete as a massage therapist.

Nate House: Pete was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. After only a half hour session, my hip/leg pain was significantly diminished. I'm certain I'll be back, as I'm a forty-something distance runner with new aches and pains just about every day. If you want a great straight forward massage experience, GR Sports will be your new favorite spot. Thanks Pete!

Kate Jack: Pete did a great job addressing my problem areas and I learned a lot while I was there. Would definitely recommend!

Lauren McNabb: Jamilah is absolutely the best. I have had major issues with TMJD and also finger numbness and I know she can always help me out.

I even set another appointment up for next week . Thank you Shelly for a life changing journey!

M Lind: I injured my shoulder and was having a very difficult time doing the most basic of daily tasks. Beth was very knowledgeable and gentle as she worked on my shoulder. At the end of my appointment I was able to raise my arm above my head -something I had not been able to do without excruciating pain for several days. I'm so thankful for her and would highly recommend Beth!

Lyndsay Stevens: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,QualityI had a great experience with Beth and would highly recommend healing touch.

Sarah Chudy: I had my first massage with Jamilah for craniosacral therapy for headaches last year. I have since had several for “knots” in upper back and shoulders, she even found some new ones!😉 Jamilah is very kind and calming and most of all, gives a wonderful deep tissue massage, hitting all the right trigger points!
