Margaret was great! She took time to fully understand my history and work with me to plan a healing path. Follow-up has been scheduled 🥳

If you are looking for a deep healing experience, book a 1:1 sauna ritual with Margaret. You will be well cared for. I cannot recommend her private healing sessions enough. There is an art to the way she facilitates her sessions. You will be taken to the forest floor and come out feeling lighter, freer and more in touch with your body and soul.

Thank you for the kind words Caty! I'm grateful to provide a therapeutic space where people can feel a difference in their body.

We did the sauna experience at Terrace Oaks park with Margaret. She was very informative and gave great advice and told us what to expect. She provided water to douse ourselves with between the sauna sessions which was very invigorating. I highly recommend the experience.

Thanks Charles! I'm so glad you came to take a sauna with us in Burnsville. We're happy to provide personalized care. Not everyone is brave enough to dump water on their heads during cool down- kudos to you!

Her technique is both therapeutic and relaxing, and she has a calm, professional presence that makes the whole experience even better.

I have seen Margaret for massage for a number of years to help with the rigors of running as well as for relaxation and self-care. Her knowledge and intuition regarding bodywork have been such a valuable asset as an athlete and her dedication to her craft and care for her clients have made it easy to recommend her to others many times over.

Response from the owner · a year ago

Thank you Lisa! That is so kind of you to say! I am proud of the care I give as a massage therapist and I'm lucky to work on athletes like you!

As someone who has suffered from major chronic back pain for years and has seen a multitude and variety of massage therapists and other health practitioners during my lifetime, Margaret easily stands out as one of the best I've had (and I have some of the worst and largest knots known to mankind by the way). I've seen her for over 3+ years and her vast knowledge and deep expertise is evident in her approach during her sessions. She's the body whisperer - she knows how to find the pain and relieve it in a gentle but effective way. She is all in when it comes to her clients' well-being - listening to your concerns and asking intentional, thoughtful questions so she can understand the full picture. She even goes out of her way to share post-massage care, exercises and other helpful tips so you can continue the body work at home. You can tell Margaret cares about you and your health in the most authentic, caring way. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. Go see her - you will NOT regret it!

Thank you Lauren! I'm so glad my intentional massages have been so effective for your holistic wellbeing! I'm grateful for your kind words, especially when you identified my value for authenticity, full picture, and care.
