Happy Fall 2024
Happy Fall 2024
" I first came to Rhea on a recommendation from one of her students, hoping she would quickly fix me up so I could continue playing soccer during Summer 2019. I remember limping into her office with two pulled IT-bands and being scolded for letting it get so bad, the therapy had begun.
Aside from giving an incredible massage, Rhea gave me instructions on what to do for myself in between appointments to keep the sports injuries to a minimum, so that over the summer the combination of massage therapy, and her prescribed stretching and yoga, I was able to walk off the field without a limp, bike to work the next morning, and play another game in 3 days’ time – no problem.
Rhea is super personable and if you’re able to keep up a conversation during intensive massage, then you might be in some existential debate for your entire appointment. If you want quiet – that’s fine too, she’s very accommodating. And powerful too, you will not want for a stronger therapist, trust me.
I kept up with massages with Rhea until I left Halifax and would have continued had I stayed. Over a year of 1-2 massages per month, I always left with the massage I needed. She knows so many techniques that depending on the description of your discomfort, you might be in for deep tissue treatment, Thai massage, or even fire cupping (all highly recommended).
Thanks Rhea & See you in Halifax again! "
"Rhea has been my Massage Therapist for over 15 years and has been one of the cornerstones that I rely on to help manage my chronic pain.
Treatment with Rhea decreases my body pain, soreness and stiffness so I leave feeling relaxed and ready to carry on.
She has excellent skills that she administers with professionalism, kindness and an enthusiasm that leaves me wondering how she packs all her energy in one small body.
She has a passion for making a difference in people’s lives and she certainly has in mine!"
"Aches, pains, mental health, you name it - Rhea has been a godsend.
She is so kind, helpful and open minded.
From the minute she greets you at the door, she has a welcoming smile that draws you in.
As you lie on her table, her space is full of peace, healing and knowledge. She heals you with not only her hands but through laughter, encouragement and gentle suggestions to improve your lifestyle."
"My mental illness causes me to carry a lot of tension in my shoulders, neck, and back. I often walk into Rhea's treatment room stiff as a board, in pain, and just all around not feeling well. I walk out brand new person each time! She uses a variety of techniques that she has spent years learning and perfecting.
What makes Rhea's treatment unique is not how much she knows, but how she applies it. What makes her stand out to me as a massage therapist is that I know she truly cares about me and my health. She goes out of her way to read up on my conditions to figure out what she can do to help me best.
She's not just an amazing Massage Therapist, she's an amazing human being!"
"Rhea and I have known each other on both a professional level and a personal level for many years. I thought I was meeting yet another medical professional whom I would have a couple appointments with and be done for lack of a connection or successful help with my pain and stress. I could not have been more wrong.
My first interaction with Rhea was in 2005, when she worked on Main Avenue as a massage therapist. I was suffering from Migraine headaches and neck and back injuries from an accident. Rhea knows exactly how to help and continues to help me successfully combat these and a multitude of other painful ailments I have developed over the years.
The moment we met, I knew we would become fast friends. She has become someone I can count on time and time again to relieve my stress and tension. She knows her craft but more importantly she knows me and my ailments each and every time I see her. Her talents are so truly amazing, just like her personality and vast knowledge. We have become the best of friends over the years and I have come to count on her more than she will ever know. With Rhea, you will meet as a patient and leave with trust and well-being, and if you are lucky like me, as friends.
Thank you Rhea! I do not know what I would do without you. "
"My first appointment with Rhea was a great experience. Rhea took the time to discuss my specific needs as a former cancer patient that was seeking lymphatic massage. I found Rhea to be very personable as well as informative.
I took her recommendations after my massage and I noticed immediately the benefits from my first session with her. My areas of concern where I noticed excess fluid had drained.
Rhea also followed up with me the next day to see how I was feeling. I feel so very fortunate to have been introduced to such a true professional that has provided me with some amazing results.
Rhea has also provided exercises for me to continue doing at home.
Rhea is a true professional! She periodically checks in with me to see how I am doing.
I have recommended Rhea to others and will continue to recommend Rhea.
I look forward to my next session when the restrictions are lifted.
I wish Rhea prosperity and success in the future!"
"Rhea saved my life!
I was in constant pain daily and was constantly restricted in what I could do without pain.
Rhea has worked hard on restoring my body to be able to function without pain.
She is amazingly talented and I would recommend her for anyone who is looking to feel better. "
"Rhea is a god send.
I have multiple injuries that cause me issue on a daily basis. Multiple car accidents, nerve damage, and a youth thinking I was invincible.
If it wasn't for her I wouldn't be able to function properly.
This lovely lady keeps me able to not just practice in my Martial arts (HEMA and SCA,) but I can compete.
You will not be disappointed."
"I have been going to Rhea since 2005 and wouldn’t even consider going to anyone else!
I have many neck and back issues, including TMJ syndrome and Rhea has been a lifesaver!
You can tell her your symptoms and somehow she is able to get to the root of the issue and even suggest things you can do at home to continue the care.
I seriously can't explain how much Rhea has helped me over the years."
"Every Monday I look forward to my massages.
The Thai Foot Massage is awesome as were the Deep Tissue Massage and you must try the Fire Cupping.
Rhea knows her stuff and makes you feel relaxed and at ease even before your treatment starts. She is amazing."
