Essential Kneads Inc

The absolute best massage I’ve ever had. It is a deep tissue massage and was unbelievably good. Very informative as to why I was having problems with my back and gave me some ideas to prevent pain. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

The best massage I’ve ever had was on my honeymoon in Montana by a gal who was living at the resort for the summer only and returning to Florida again in the Fall of 2009. I wish I knew her name and I’d recommend her on here, too. Anyway, Gail Bauer of Essential Kneads almost pushed that girl off my pedastal… but now she just sits up there with her… and probably because the first girl has sentimental value associated with her being it was my honeymoon.
Gail is an amazing massage therapist! She listens to what you want, is very knowledgeable, makes you feel comfortable, and knows how to apply pressure!
I met Gail when she did a demo at a Belk Department Store event in mid 2011. She won me over when she about knocked me out of her demo chair! I knew right away that she wasn’t timid about working tight muscles and could get in there and work out those kinks. I booked a full body massage at her introductory rate which I thought was very reasonable.
Her facility is a little tricky to find, but once you get there, the lobby is spacious and comfortable with her massage room down a short corridor and behind substantial noise barriers. There was a party going on at another tenants office, but I wasn’t disturbed by the occassional belly laughs that filtered through the walls.
The music was soothing, the room was decorated nicely and was very clean. There was plenty of space for Gail to easily move around the table as she worked without bumping or jarring me in any way. Her lotions smelled nice without being overwhelming. She is polite and communicates whe she is doing/​about to do without being annoying about it (i.e. tell me, but I don’t need a play by play).
I feel like for the introductory price (which I think was $ 49) and for the level of pressure I received, I got an amazing deal. I like a LOT of pressure and she delivered. I highly recommend her, even if pressure isn’t your thing. She massaged my husband a few weeks ago, and he’s not as in to deep tissue as I am. He loved it.
Thanks, Gail!
