Dawson's Stress Reduction

Jun 2024

I've been a client for over five years and highly recommend Vanessa. I've had a good number of massages over the course of my life and Vanessa is a very skilled massage therapist. I enjoy deep tissue/firm massages and she's great at getting out the knots though can use lighter pressure if you prefer. Her studio is clean, cozy and inviting. Book a session, you won't regret it!

Hands down best massage ever! I'm 8 months pregnant with my first child and it's been a stressful year (I broke an arm after getting struck by a car, my dad passed away, and I had to up and move suddenly while pregnant). It's safe to say my third trimester came with a fair share of body aches, foot pain and overall stress and anxiety. So, I decided to treat myself with my first ever prenatal massage. I found Vanessa at random and took a chance at Dawson's Stress Reduction because it was affordable and had good reviews. The massage far exceeded my expectations! Vanessa really does have a magical touch. She found all these nooks and crannies where stress and tension had been building up over this past year. I've had about a dozen massages in my entire life, and they've all been just ok or fairly nice. But Vanessa's massage left me feeling truly relaxed, renewed, and exclaiming "Omg, I NEEDED that." No cap, she is amazing. In addition to the fantastic massage, I also just really enjoyed talking with Vanessa. I genuinely find her to be a fun and interesting person to talk with, and it was nice casually discussing pregnancy, parenthood, and our passions. I left not only with my body feeling physically rejuvenated, but my spirit feeling emotionally calm, connected and replenished. Before leaving, I immediately purchased a gift certificate for my husband to book a 90-minute massage from Vanessa. He's a large man with a physically demanding job and it's hard for him to find a massage therapist that can really work out his knots and kinks. I know he'd love a massage from Vanessa. I am so grateful that I stumbled on Dawson's Stress Reduction! I've never met a masseuse that I actually want to return to and plan on supporting over the years. Vanessa's massages are worth more than she charges. Do not sleep on this opportunity. Do yourself a favor and book a visit today!

Thank God for Vanessa Dawson's Stress Reduction! Honestly she got me through the worst of 2020! Her 90 min. massage or combo massage reflexology is my idea of pure heaven and a life-saver during such stressful times. I like slow deep tissue work and Vanessa has the strength, the training and many years of experience to know just how much pressure is right. Because I've had neck injuries, clear communication is essential. Vanessa is a great communicator and I feel at ease at all times. I trust her to work on areas of my neck and back that no one else can touch. Her studio is peaceful, Covid clean and totally professional, the free parking is off street. Give yourself the gift of Vanessa's healing hands! I cannot recommend the experience more highly!
