Relocating to the area, it was daunting to find a new spa. So glad to stumble across Massage by Meg! She is kind, welcoming, and so good at her job. I love that she not only starts the session asking about focus areas but then checks in along the way. And the best part is I know I always get Meg vs a larger spa…

I recently had such a great experience at Massage by Meg! This was my first prenatal massage ever and it was amazing. I appreciated how comfortable Meg made me feel and secure with laying belly down on the prenatal pillow. She was attentive, personable and great at what she does! I’ll definitely return post baby! Book her!

I visited Meg this morning for a full body massage and it was incredible! I’ve been getting massages for years and this one was very thorough. Her approach is gentle but effective and she checked in multiple times to make sure that the pressure was at the right level. I look forward to going back again and again!

I love that she not only starts the session asking about focus areas but then checks in along the way. And the best part is I know I always get Meg vs a larger spa where you may get a different massage therapist each time.

I spend a good portion of my day working at a desk and when I go into see her she provides the knowledge and know how of where the stress and strain is and takes care of it no problem. You’ll never find a service like that has as much heart as this and remember to always support small businesses!

Fist time, won't be the last. Super nice, great energy. I will be going back for lymphatic massage, after my surgery. I had reflexology done, and I felt great after. Can't wait to go back 😁

OH EM GEE. I don't know where to begin. Meg is absolutely amazing. Her communication since I booked in had been so amazing, she answered all my questions (since I was gonna get a prenatal massage) and I was nervous. The studio is super comfortable and relaxing. The massage was Epic. She had an amazing pregnancy massage pillow and I was completely comfortable. Thank you for such a relaxing massage. Highly recommended.
