“JULISSA IS A DREAM OF A MASSEUSE”

“Julissa is a dream of a masseuse. She’s been my go to girl for almost 5 years now, and anytime I’ve been gifted a massage elsewhere or have been out of town, I’ve felt as though I was cheating on her. Since meeting Julissa, I have not been able to find a massage so enjoyable or catered to me anywhere else. Julissa takes incredible attention to detail, cares deeply about her clients, and truly has a set of magic hands. I will be Julissa’s client for as long as she works in massage, and I’m grateful to have gotten to know this wonderful woman as not only my massage therapist, but also as a friend over these last few years. I would highly recommend that you give Julissa a try!”

"To say that Dr. Shulman is a ‘miracle worker’ would not be an overstatement. Ok maybe a little, but he’s the only person who has been able to relieve my neck pain. Beyond that, the office is great."
