Ginger changed my life. Before I came to see her, I was suffering from a severe case of sacroiliac dysfunction. The muscles around my left hip had gotten so tight that, when I stood up straight, they pulled my left foot off the ground. The several visits I paid to MDs had left me frustrated and almost hopeless, for none of the physical therapy exercises they prescribed worked. Fortunately, I found Ginger, a crano-sacrial massage master. In one session, she did what those doctors could not: relax the muscles around my hip. When I got off the table, I couldn't believe that my foot now touched the ground. Jaded as I was, I was convinced her work would not stick, so I decided...read full review

Cranial/Sacral So here we are on day 5 after the Cranial/Sacral treatment. I really feel great, and I've been upbeat and positive all week. More expansive somehow. Ginger gave the treatment after one of the heaviest emotional weekends I've had, she was right on time. Ginger did a type of muscle/energy treatment that has cured, so far (I feel a certain amount of stress or lifestyle expression could bring it back) my neck, but more importantly, I've been skippidy do dah since that day. She did my ankles, and feet and I could feel the warmth of her energy go through my legs and thigh, almost to my pelvis. From there, a slighter warmth up my spinal column. She asked if it was pleasurable, and it was not really pleasure, but warmth. I was aware of the work. At this point I actually had to stop myself from analyzing the energy work and just enjoy it. When she began to work my neck under my skull it was like she was tucking my muscles back in, not really "massaging them" like I do, but she has strong hands and accurate pressure points. Now, I've always had tension in my neck, and could crack/pop it at will, any time of the day, for decades. That has been gone since that day. So, it was a repair of sorts, for sure. When she held my head I was so relaxed I almost fell asleep a few times, or... faded into daydreaming, but I didn't let myself for long, I felt I wanted to be aware and "recieve" the therapy. It was soft and emotionally releasing, this work. Something special is with Ginger and this therapy. I can't quite put my finger on it. The amazing thing is from that day I have felt lighter and happier. My body tension is gone. I have to wonder, how much body tension causes mental anguish rather than the other way around? I've felt more in tune and awake. Now... correlation doesn't imply causation, but the positivity has stayed with me since the session, and my body feels open, and my neck doesn't hurt or pop. I really appreciate it. If you have neck/back issues, request this therapy, Ginger is wonderful!

Ginger is one of the best massage therapists I have ever been to, and I have had a LOT of massage! She is extrememly powerful yet gentle. I relax the moment she touches me and she has helped me through some very difficult times! I highly reccomend her as a massage therapist! You won't be sorry!
