Massage in Franklin

“I rarely write reviews, so when I do, it's because I truly believe someone has made a meaningful difference in my life.

For more than three years, I've been seeing Sarah Shuler for traditional Thai massage, and I can honestly say she has become one of the most valuable members of my personal wellness team. Recently, Sarah traveled to Thailand to continue her training and study with experienced instructors. I didn't think she could get any better, but somehow she did.

At 74 years old, staying active and maintaining my mobility is one of my highest priorities. Over the years I've invested thousands of dollars in quality nutrition, supplements, food sensitivity testing, and medical care to manage the effects of osteoarthritis and inflammation. Combined with regular exercise, healthy eating, sunshine, and good sleep, Thai massage has become an important part of that routine.

Traditional Thai massage is unlike any other massage I've experienced. It combines assisted stretching, movement, pressure along the body's Sen energy lines, and techniques that leave me feeling looser, more balanced, and re-energized. Whether you view the Sen lines from an energetic perspective or simply appreciate how the body responds to skilled therapeutic bodywork, the results speak for themselves.

Today, at 74, I genuinely feel better than I did at 60, and perhaps even better than I did at 50. I hike, stay active, and enjoy life with a level of mobility I never expected to have at this age.

If you're looking for someone who is passionate about her craft, continually improving her skills, and genuinely cares about her clients' well-being, I recommend Sarah without hesitation. Her dedication to learning, including her recent advanced training in Thailand, is reflected in every session.

For me, investing in my health has been one of the best decisions I've ever made, and Sarah has played an important role in that journey. She has my highest recommendation.

“Amazing and professional. I definitely recommend to everybody! Really spent the time to make you feel at ease and made sure your needs were addressed.“

“Best massage ambiance in Franklin NC: Quiet, low lighting, soothing and a no-stress environment. The massage experience exceeded my expectations.“

“As a massage therapist myself, I have pretty high standards when it comes to bodywork and I truly cannot say enough good things about Franklin Massage. I’ve had sessions with both Kelsey and Lily and they are both incredibly skilled, intuitive, and professional.

I’ve received a lot of massage therapy over the years for injuries and chronic tension, and their work has genuinely helped me. You can tell they really understand the body and care about their clients. Every session has been therapeutic, effective, and deeply relaxing at the same time.

The space itself is also absolutely beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels calming and welcoming. It’s one of those places where you can truly exhale.

If you’re looking for talented therapists who genuinely know what they’re doing, I highly recommend Franklin Massage. Such a gem 🤍“

“I was skeptical about chiropractic care, but Dr. Barnes at Barnes Wellness changed my life! After years of shoulder pain and sleepless nights, he fixed my shoulders in just TWO visits! I'm talking full nights of sleep, pain-free. Dr. Barnes is friendly, knowledgeable, and truly cares about his patients' well-being. Five stars isn't enough - I'd give him ten if I could!“

“Gabi did an amazing job transforming my hair of blonde, brass and dark roots to an outstanding Ashe blonde. Have found my hairstylist for sure. Last time I went to a hair salon was 17 years ago and Gabi made my birthday rememberable with a great cut, color/highlights, toner, and hair mask. Definitely recommend.“

“I came off trail suffering from a bad overuse soft tissue leg injury. Kim went above and beyond to get me back on trail much sooner than only RICE. Her efforts were invaluable. Terrific deep tissue massage!“
