what they say



  • Nancy is simply amazing and a top notch therapist.
    Nancy has been my best find so far since moving to Charleston.
    She is one of the best massage therapist I have worked with throughout my athletic career.
    I moved to the Charleston area for work while training for Ironman #6.
    Nancy has helped keep my body happy while logging my biggest training miles.

    Brigitte Paulick - Professional Triathlete

  • Great massage, the initial conversation was concise and specific,
    we talked about nutrition and training and she was fantastic
    at identifying areas that I didn't even think needed additional massage.
    As an ultra runner, being sore everywhere is normal,
    so having someone anticipate areas in need is crucial for injury prevention.

    Joey Ryan - Ultra Marathoner

  • As a competitive triathlete I highly value a quality massage,
    as I incorporate this into my routine of training and recovery.
    Nancy is aware of every stressor my body is going through
    as an endurance athlete and is able to customize every session
    with very detailed and sensitive attention to my physical recovery.
    I highly value her skill and philosophy when it comes to sports massage
    and would recommend her to any athlete in the Charleston area.

    Patrick Brooks - Triathlete

  • I race distances from the 5K to the marathon.
    Nancy came highly recommended from other runners in the community,
    and at the time, I was experiencing heavy legs and soreness from high mileage,
    intense training for the 2018 Boston Marathon.
    I am so glad that I decided to see Nancy for a massage.
    I feel like my body was able to perform more efficiently through sports massage maintenance.
    If you are an athlete, you need to see Nancy for sports massage and keep a regular maintenance program with her in order for your body to perform at its best.
    Nancy is very thorough, knowledgeable, and specifically addresses problem areas when I see her.
    I am now a strong believer in regular sports massage maintenance as it helped my body to perform at its best in the marathon!

  • If anyone is looking for an outstanding, highly skilled and knowledgeable
    professional massage therapist, I highly recommend Nancy!
    She’s an essential part of my intense training recovery!!
    I couldn't train the way I do without her massage and cupping therapy.
    It’s a necessity to my training and recovery and is essential
    in keeping my performance in the gym at an optimum.
