Rave Review!
Linda R says:
Mary-Claire was great! This was my first visit and I was really impressed by her professionalism, the overall appearance of the office and relaxing feeling I got from the moment I walked in. I loved the fact that I was the only one there at my appointment time...not the busy, noisy, corporate atmosphere of a Mitchells. Mary-Claire was able to pin-point the exact area of my pain and give me tips on how to help alleviate the pain in between visits. She is clearly a therapist who knows what she's doing. I will definitely be back and plan to book an appointment for my husband as well!

I plan to return.
Pamela N says:
I have had massages before, but never one like this. I did the 75 minute Ashiatsu - it was fabulous! Great pressure and she knew right away where my trouble spots were. And the massage is so great - I would forget sometimes that she was working with her feet! I plan to try and return more often!

I recieved a bamboo - fusion massage and it was great. The heat of the bamboo was very relaxing and the pressure was perfect. Mary - Clair was very kind and answered all of my questions. I am looking forward to recieving a Ashiatsu massage Joy Rovno

Recommend M-C wholeheartedly.
 
CK P says: Mary-Claire provides me just the right combination of soft and firm, pain and pleasure, talk and peaceful silence. I am a person who has to practice deep breathing during the massage so I do not tense with anxiety. Her willingness to work quietly, with just the drum and flute CD in the background really works for me. We talk at the beginning of each meeting (with clothes on), and she really listens and asks good questions about what I am hoping to achieve. Therefore the massage is different from one meeting to the next, depending on what I am seeking.

So Relaxing
 
Lizzie B says: It was so wonderful to get a massage! I had never had one before, but my husband got me a prenatal massage as a gift. It felt so good... I sure hope to be going back during my pregnancy.

Ruth B. says: My massage was awesome! I fill def go back again soon.

Treat yourself!
1/15/2011
 
Denise C. says: Yesterday I received the 90 minute warm bamboo massage from Mary-Claire. It was wonderful! Mary-Claire was professional and I enjoyed our conversation. The session was very relaxing and the deep muscle massage was beneficial, esp. for my shoulders and back. The foot massage was the icing on the cake. I will be back!

Best Birthday Present Ever!

Rebecca M. says: My husband treated me to an hour+1/2 massage with Mary-Claire for my birthday. Wonderful and professional. I told him that this is what I would like every year.

Hip/Thigh/Back
1/12/2011
 
Rachel D. says: This was my first massage to help overcome pain in my hip due to gymnastics. We found knots that I didn't know were there, and Mary Claire was great in helping me understand what I can do to help myself stay loose in those areas. I wish I could have watched her work on my legs and back with her feet,but it felt wonderful and like the right approach for my body. I'm coming back. Rachel - Level 9 gymnast

UNREAL
12/30/2010
 
Raquel P. says: I wasn't sure what to expect, but as soon as I walked in I was instantly put at ease. The natured music, and sounds of water put me to sleep while my whole body relaxed. I had the BEST sleep of my life that night after my massage, I got to experience the bamboo massage, HIGHLY reccommend it! Whole body felt unreal!

Seriously good
12/23/2010
 
Suzie J. says: The Ashiatsu massage is better than any muscle relaxer or pain reliever you can try. Mary Claire found and kneaded away knots in my back that I thought were there to stay, and I left feeling limber and renewed. I only wish I could get a massage like this every day!! Mary Claire ie a joy to be around, and she has magic feet!

Wonderful!
12/22/2010
 
Amy D. says: I highly recommend Mary-Claire and the Ashiatsu massage! I wasn't sure how I'd like a barefoot massage, but it was amazing! I'll definitely be back!

Truly Heaven!!
12/22/2010
 
Ann O. says: When my husband gave me the massage for a Valentine's Day gift, I thought, "What was he getting me into?" I finally got the courage to use it and now I am thinking, "What took me so long?" It was heavenly! I received the bamboo fusion and can not tell you how wonderful it was! Mary-Claire has the perfect touch! I didn't want it to stop!

Much better Marathon!
10/17/2010
 
Diana N. says: I saw Mary-Claire this week before running my marathon & she totally loosened up all my really tight muscles! I felt awesome today while running my 26.2 miles... and I know it's because she was really awesome about getting to all my trouble spots! Thanks for helping my race day a much smoother & less painful day!

Genuine Suprise
10/1/2010
 
Nicole M. says: A friend of mine bought some massages on Groupon and a few of us went back to back to celebrate a birthday. My 2 friends had the Bamboo massage and loved it. When my turn came up I went in to receive my Bamboo massage. Mary-Claire discussed my pain and issues and asked that try the Ashiatsu instead. She felt it would give me more of what I needed. I was a little reserved...I mean a massage with someone's feet? OK, 5 minutes into the massage I was not even thinking about feet...or anything except for the deep and wonderful massage I was getting. Genuine suprise at this technique and now can't imagine paying for any other massage than this one. Deep and relaxing. Comfortable. Bliss. Anyone who has reservations about this unusual tecnique needs to let it go and give it a try.

Nothing Will Keep Me From Returning Every 2 Weeks!
 
9/15/2010
 
Lisa B. says: I know the only reason my hips keep working and allow me to get out of bed every day is because of the fabulous Ashiatsu Massages that I receive from Mary-Claire! I have had major health/back/auto immune issues for more than 7 years. Once I used my coupon from the Groupon special, I knew I would return without hesitation. I was a weekly patient from February to April and since then, I continue to go bi-weekly. Mary-Claire is the best and she is very receptive to the needs of her clients!

PERFECT!
AHHH-Some!
 
9/12/2010
 
Joyce M. says: Mary-Claire is a great professional massage therapist and instructor. I received the bamboo fusion massage before attending her bamboo fusion class. The warm bamboo tools induced total relaxation. I returned for the ashiatsu massage which was exactly what I needed for my tense muscles. It was Ahhh-some! Thanks Mary-Claire! Joyce, LMT

Best in Cincinnati
9/10/2010
 
Julie C. says: Without a doubt this is the most therapeutic, professional massage you can receive in the area. The technique is superb and Mary-Claire is an expert in understanding her clients needs and addressing them to complete satisfaction. I have extremely tight muscles in my back and neck that have caused me great discomfort and Mary-Claire is definitely the cure!

Amazing ashiatsu experience
9/4/2010
 
Jen O. says: I bought a Groupon and decided to try out the ashiatsu massage, as I get tight muscles in my back and it can be hard to loosen them sometimes. As unusual as I thought it was beforehand, having her massage with her feet felt amazing and so relaxing! The deep tissue massage was definitely a good choice for me, and I would have been happy to have laid there for another hour or more if I could. I also really enjoyed how friendly and informative Mary-Claire was - conversational and interested in learning about me and understanding my needs, without being too inquisitive or talkative to take away from the relaxing atmosphere. I would love to come back and see her as often as possible, and will be saving my money up to do just that!

The best massage ever!
8/10/2010
 
Nita-Rose A. says: I have to say this was the best massage I have had and I am going to have to make the drive and put this down in my schedule for a regular part of a healthy life style. I had not idea how tight and tense I was and how much better I feel today after having received my massage with Ashi, bamboo AND Thai all seamlessly put together. And Mary-Claire is a wonderful person. Thank you! Nita-Rose
