What my clients are saying

I have been to many massage therapists over the years but when I found Tricia, I found an intuitive healer. She has helped me work through major stress-related symptoms which have been either greatly reduced or completely eliminated. Her holistic approach is unique -- through her healing massages she blends many therapeutic techniques resulting in a major impact to mind, body, and soul.

Being an athlete, my body requires a deep massage and Tricia is not afraid to address my painful areas. She strives to meet my needs and continuously communicates with me to find the right technique and pressure. Tricia is able to work out my problem areas and still make me feel relaxed.

I am currently training for a marathon and I was having some serious problems getting thru all of my runs. I had noticeable improvement after my first visit with Tricia. I have not had someone work my legs that well for 3 years!!! I am so happy to find someone who takes the time to talk to you about what you need and want to gain thru your massage. I am happy to say that after just two visits with Tricia I am back on track and have not missed a run.

I found Failte Salon when I was new to the area and in desperate need of a massage. Tricia Doane is the massage therapist and angel of Failte Salon! She is by far the most personable MT I have ever seen! She is very knowlegable when it comes to her therapies and speaks in a very soothing tone during your session. She went over all of my concerns and needs in the beginning of the massage. It was the best massage I have received! The last massage I had was [at a Spa] in Maine (fave of George H.W.-- they like to tell you that) --way more money for 1/4 of the expertise! I returned home to a husband and 2 toddlers an hour later and still had a smile on my face. I can't wait to go again. I need to set up a standing appointment -- for Mommy's mental health days.

I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you, for a wonderful massage yesterday, I feel so good today. My back and shoulders feel great.

It is so wonderful to find someone who really has the healing touch and you do. I am so very grateful and appreciate your great work for helping me feel better.

After several holistic treatments, I decided to try something new & booked a Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage -- what a treat! The long, multi-directional strokes stimulate & relax simultaneously and made it feel as though there was more than one massage therapist in the room. I will definitely indulge in this luxurious experience again!

For a number of years I have experienced neck, shoulder, and back pain. Stress from the daily grind tends to leave me feeling tight and uncomfortable, but since I started going to Tricia over a year ago, I've been able to avoid most of my aches and pains. Tricia is always on time and flexible with appointments, which is great for me, with my hectic lifestyle. The atmosphere is calming, and creates a soothing escape for a racing mind. I'll never live life without massages again. I'm able to feel like a whole person after taking the time to relax and revitalize. Thanks Tricia!

I just wanted to say thanks for a great massage. I have definitely felt much different in my back, in ways I didn't even realize I would. It feels so much looser and just... great. You are worth every penny, and I hope you aren't too booked when I break down and need another visit!

When my back hurts, my whole world is difficult. With degenerative disc disease and some scoliosis, plus bone spurs and osteoarthritis of the spine, pain penetrates right to the core of my being, leaving me tired and depressed. So a truly good massage can ease my body AND my soul.

When my previous therapist stopped practicing, I thought I'd never again find someone as good. But, after one session with Tricia, I knew I had found a truly excellent massage therapist. I went in with my back aching, my neck knotted, and my feet sore and tired. I came out not only pain-free, but feeling supple and completely refreshed from head to toe.

In follow-up visits, I've had the same experience. Tricia is brilliant and intuitive about mind and body needs, and thorough in incorporating aromatherapy and varied massage techniques into sessions. Her attention and planning for individualized treatment yields subtly marvelous results.

It's a joy to have a practitioner of her healing abilities and positive energy available.

Seeing Tricia has made such a huge difference to me.  Before I started going for regular sessions, I was in constant pain, but now I'm feeling such an improvement.  I'm much more functional, and there has been a huge reduction in pain for me.  Tricia is warm, caring and extremely knowledgeable, as well. I always walk out feeling great.

My children gave me a gift certificate for a massage with Tricia in June of 2005. It was one of the best gifts I have ever received!

Tricia is the first massage therapist I have been to that has taken a health history which impressed me right from the very beginning.  Tricia really gets to know her clients and their special needs and applies that knowledge to her massages -- always doing special little extras that are suited to your individual situation. 

In addition to her skills, her personality is welcoming, kind friendly and helpful.  I've been lucky to see Tricia once a week for a long time now.  Even when I was having back problems and in physical therapy 3 times a week,  I still felt I needed her special touch.  On those occasion when I can't see her, I really miss both her and my massage. 

It's been wonderful being a client of Tricia's and hope I will be for many more years to come.

I found Tricia after she was highly recommended by a friend. Tricia was everything and more that she said she would be.

As my mother's caretaker, I went to Tricia for stress relief which I found extremely soothing. After she passed, I went to her to aid in my grief and healing, and she was again, very helpful.

I wish I could see Tricia for massage more often. I really do believe that this kind of healing massage can help heal your soul along with your body. I highly recommend her.

Today's massage was wonderful and I will certainly go back to school after vacation with a more relaxed perspective and attitude thanks to you!

The last time I came in, I had very sore neck and shoulder muscles. After 60 minutes of intense massaging, I woke up the next morning with no more pain. You really worked out the “kinks” and I thank you very much. Prior to that, I had had the pain for two weeks. I really appreciate it. Thanks!
