"Jackie is a healer. I've experienced her healing reiki treatments several times. Most recently I had to have a spinal tap. Following that were headaches. After Jackie's treatment, they were gone,"
"Jackie is empathetic, a wonderful listener, and very willing to adjust her approach to my changing needs. The studio at Inner Bliss in the beautifully restored historic Stockade Inn building, where our massage sessions take place, is a lovely haven from the cares of the world, airy with high ceilings and full of natural light. Relaxing music, delightful aromas, and a wondrous warm bio-mat complement the luxuriously restorative experience"
"I recently was blessed by a beautiful and healing massage with Jackie. Her attention to my body’s needs were so intuitive. The setting was peaceful and allowed for an escape from the everyday stressors that we all have. When I arrived she greeted me with her warmth and smile. I thoroughly enjoyed her knowledge and have already scheduled my next appointment. I’m looking forward to more self care at Thrive. I can’t think of a better way to start 2024!"
"Jackie's touch was a flowing dance of gentleness and strength, refreshing and especially relaxing. Her careful selection of skincare products gave me a healthy glow not easy to find in February!"
"After my massage I feel like a new woman. So relaxed and calm. Jackie will be seeing a lot of me down the road."
"Awesome facials and massages in a truly relaxed environment!"
"I've known Jackie for some time. She always gives her best!"
"Jackie magically materialized at a very challenging point in my life last winter, when I was suffering from excruciating muscle pain, compounded by stress from caregiving for a medically fragile relative, and sky-high blood pressure. My first few sessions with Jackie were a lifeline as her strong and capable yet gentle hands offered me desperately-needed relief and precious hope."
"Before becoming a client of Jackie’s, I had only gotten massages as a treat on vacation. I was nervous to go to a local place but I’m so glad I did! Jackie made me feel so comfortable right away and she provides more than just a massage, it’s really a whole experience! She is great and I recommend seeing her!"
