Frequently Asked Questions

What is Relaxation Massage

Relaxation massage, often referred to as Swedish massage, is a therapeutic technique primarily aimed at promoting overall well-being and reducing stress. Massage therapists use a series of more gentle, flowing strokes, kneading, and circular movements on the superficial layers of muscle to enhance relaxation and improve circulation.
This type of massage is designed to relax the entire body, providing a soothing experience that can help to lower stress levels, alleviate muscle tension, and promote a sense of calm. Relaxation massage is ideal for anyone looking to unwind, improve their mood, and enjoy the restorative benefits of a peaceful, unhurried massage session.

Our office takes relaxation massage to a whole new level by adding in soothing hot stones.  We never sit stones and leave them.  Instead, we work with the stones.  This type of work immediately affects the nervous system and results in THE ULTIMATE RELAXATION EXPERIENCE.

WHEN IS DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE NEEDED

Deep tissue massage is particularly needed when an individual experiences chronic muscle tension or pain, has sustained injuries from repetitive strain or sports activities, or suffers from conditions such as fibromyalgia or plantar fasciitis. This type of massage targets the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues, aiming to break down adhesions (knots) that can cause pain and inflammation. It is beneficial for those with limited mobility, postural problems, or ongoing muscle stiffness, as it helps to improve blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and promote faster healing. Consulting with a licensed massage therapist can help determine if deep tissue massage is appropriate based on specific symptoms and health conditions.

In our office – we offer LEVELS OF DEEP TISSUE.  I have been getting massage for over 15 years and I started out getting relaxation massage only.  I was working in the legal field and raising 4 kids so my life was extremely stressful.  But, at some point, I was exercising a lot and so I needed sports massage which includes a lot of deep tissue work.  Two months into massage school, I sustained a triple break to my ankle and deep tissue massage is what has kept me mobile for all these years.  There are times, though, when I cannot take too much pressure.  I seek out massage therapists who know how to change the level of pressure as needed because many therapists only default to extreme pressure.

Therapists who use too much pressure all the time have run many clients away from seeking out massage for their chronic pain which is unfortunate.  I know, because many of them have shown up to my office…

What Does Hot Stone Massage Do

In most spas and massage offices, therapists place heated stones on specific points of the body, and then do massage around the stones.  I learned this way but once I experienced it myself and did not like it, I created my own way of doing hot stone massage.

The effects of the warmed stones are profound.  The stones deeply relax muscles and enhance the overall massage experience. The heat from the stones penetrates the muscles faster than any other modality, which allows the therapist to work more effectively with less pressure.  Using stones during a massage makes the overall massage more effective and increases the relaxation effect.

 The warmth of the basalt stones increases blood flow, promotes relaxation, and can help to alleviate pain and stiffness. It also boosts circulation, reduces stress, and promotes a sense of well-being and relaxation. Our way of enhancing massage sessions in our massage is the single most verbalized reason clients give us great reviews.  Our clients absolutely love the hot stone therapy.

What is the Difference Between a Sports Massage and Regular Massage

The primary difference between a sports massage and a regular massage lies in their focus and techniques. Sports massage is specifically designed for athletes or individuals engaged in regular physical activity and aims to enhance performance, prevent injuries, and aid in recovery. It often involves a combination of techniques such as deep tissue work, stretching, and trigger point therapy, targeting muscle groups most used in the athlete’s sport. Regular massage, on the other hand, is generally geared towards relaxation, stress relief, and overall well-being, using techniques like Swedish massage to promote relaxation and increase circulation. While both types of massage offer therapeutic benefits, sports massage is more targeted and tailored to the specific needs of active individuals and their physical demands.

If a marathon runner comes in for a session, I know what muscles to target in addition to any areas that my client has muscle soreness, pain, or discomfort in.  If a swimmer comes in, I know what muscles he or she uses in the type of swimming they do regularly.  I am also known to find areas of the body that are being injured or overstressed, even if the client was not aware of it.  In this way, I am able to prevent injuries that might result in them not being able to exercise or participate in their chosen sport.  I have worked on everyone from competitive athletes to clients who are just involved in an exercise program.

Testimonials

“I am honored to do this review because we have been coming to Heavenly Healing for a few years now.  Back when we started, Donna had another therapist who she worked with but now we come in and she works on both of us, one person after the other.  I would rather spend a little extra time and come here because we leave feeling so relaxed and pain free.  We just have not experienced that at other places, no matter how fancy they were.  Donna makes us feel comfortable, at home, and very welcome.  We have fun and enjoy our time in her lovely space and when we leave, we end up enjoying the rest of our day together even more!  Thanks again Donna for your wonderful service!  We are clients for life.”  Audra and Rick S. – Couples massage

“I am a nurse and I work in a facility where I am helping to lift patients, bending, and using my body in ways I probably shouldn’t be but that’s the job right?  I come in to see Donna once per month because when I first came in I was one step away from a lower back injury.  Donna caught it just in time and turned it around and I now work with little to no lower back pain.  My stress level is also under control because her session is just so ridiculously relaxing.  Give her a try.  You won’t be disappointed.”  Jeannie B. – 90 Minutes of Heaven

“Donna got me in last minute because I was here with a relative who is getting surgery at the Cleveland Clinic and I had sat in a hospital chair all night.  To say the least, I was extremely sore and stiff all over and Donna’s massage had me moving and feeling 1000% better!  I truly get the name of her business now.  She does have heavenly healing hands to be sure. ”  Sandra W. – 90 Minute Traveler’s Delight

“My hubby and I came from Canada for a few days to relax and unwind and we booked a couple massage with Donna and were blown away.  Not only did she make us feel so very welcome and at home but she was professional and took the time to give us tips for pain relief at home.  She provided us with ice water and premium chocolates and her office immediately made us feel relaxed.  We both enjoyed her massage and it was was a cut above most other massages we have had before.  I particularly enjoyed such a thorough foot massage.  That was very welcome since I work on my feet 6 days a week.  Overall, Donna really helped to kick off our ;time together in a great way!”  Angela R. – Couple massage

“Ok so I stand corrected.  When I first booked our couple massage, I have to admit I had an attitude about wearing a mask when face up and I did not like us being in separate rooms.  I mean I get it but I am just over all this covid crap!  But, let me tell you , we thoroughly enjoyed our couple massage and you really are in rooms right by each other.  Get off the table and look around the corner; I get it now.  And Donna insists on leaving that middle door between the rooms open.  Something about it is better with the air purifiers but actually that allows you to talk with your partner even though you are in separate rooms! We have been to other places but we felt truly pampered here.  And since hubby likes a little bit more pressure, Donna definitely delivers that.  He said he never felt better following a massage.  Overall, a great experience.”  DeBella J. – couple massage

“I brought my son in who plays soccer.  I didn’t really know what to expect but Donna made us feel right at home.  My son is 14 so she allowed me to be present as she worked on him.  She not only helped him with his injury, but she explained what she was doing and why and gave recommendations for foam rolling and stretching he could do on a daily basis.  We will definitely be back.”  Melissa H. – sports massage.

“I so appreciate Donna and her efforts to keep us clients safe.  I live with a family member who is immune compromised and I was afraid all this time to get massage.  But after so much back pain I had no choice but to seek out massage help.  I definitely see why this place gets such wonderful reviews.  Aside from the 2 air purifiers, Donna actually got rid of this  nagging back pain and I have to say – I have not felt this relaxed since the beginning of this pandemic!”  Andrea B. – during pandemic

“As a gift for my 38th birthday my sisters wanted to plan a surprise spa day. Unfortunately, due to pestilence, the social distancing requirements made it impossible for us to attend as a group of 4. Donna was very accommodating by requiring a pre-consultation via text which included a series of Covid questions to ensure the health & safety of staff and client. There is an in room air purifier that makes the air as clean as possible and masks are required throughout (with accommodations for certain positions.)

Upon arrival she was kind enough to meet me at the door and escort me to the beautiful serenity that is the main area of the massage office. It was exceptionally clean and inviting. The massage office was dimly lit with a calming blue hue and pleasant aromatics. Overall I must say It was an EXCELLENT WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!!!! The massage itself was the perfect mix of education about where pain “lives” on the body according to lifestyle (sitting vs standing at work etc) and deep tissue massage. The 12 years of experience that Donna has was evident in her gentle yet strong touch. The aromatherapy-which is typically a little overwhelming for me- was balanced and the massage table was a ‘just right’ warm. My favorite was the hot stones which she used to loosen my muscles and then for digging into pressure points I had no idea existed! It was the best massage of my life. I highly recommend ANYONE go and support this local black owned business. Whatever she charges it’s worth it. You won’t be disappointed.” Client Veronica B. – during pandemic

“I came here to deal with some chronic stress and nagging aches and pain and came out feeling like I have a whole new body.  I nailed it by coming here.  Thank God for Google.  Let’s just start with the room – OMG – just lovely and so calming.  Just laying a few minutes on the crazy warm table in this environment  was therapy enough.  But the massage – I have never experienced such a soothing session before.  Those healing hands and the stones and I have never had a therapist actually take time on my feet.  Incredible!  Way beyond what I was expecting.  Susan E. – 90 Minutes of Heaven

“I had given up on finding relief for this constant pain in my lower back but Donna, in one session, has made me a believer in getting massages.  I have done chiropractic and acupuncture and nothing has helped until now.  I am definitely taking her advice and coming back at least a couple more times to see what that looks like for me.  I mean, right now, I actually feel NO pain.  How is that even possible?  Oh, and I loved the room and the stones.  Not really HOT because she was holding them/using them.  LOL.  But loved everything. ”  Ed W. – Stressbuster Deluxe Therapeutic Massage (90 min) 

“My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our appointment.  Our massage therapists were very professional and welcoming.  We will definitely be returning soon.”  Eric/Channez D. – Heavenly Stones Couple Massage 

“Donna did a wonderful job addressing my back pain, and I feel a lot better than when I walked in.  She asked me specific questions about what I needed, and I feel like she focused on those needs very well.”  John S. (Jessi – wife) – Heavenly Stones Couple Massage 

“My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our appointment.  Our massage therapists were very professional and welcoming.  We will definitely be returning soon.”  Eric/Channez D. – Heavenly Stones Couple Massage 

“Donna is the real deal.  Experiencing her deep tissue massage, to be honest, now makes me question every other massage I have gotten in the area.  She actually listened to what I said then customized my session to what I needed.  I could tell from watching her that she enjoys what she does and she definitely knows how to give a great massage.  She straight up got rid of my low back pain and I have never had that happen before.  The way she uses the stones in all kinds of ways is also new to me.  Most places like sitting stones everywhere on your body and they sort of work around them.  I love THIS way better!  I wish she offered a 3 hour massage! I am so glad I found her.”  Andy E. – Stressbuster Deluxe session (90 minutes)

“Fantastic.  This was my first of many.  My husband and I are very pleased and highly recommend their services.  Thank you so much.”  Miracle B. (Cedric) – Heavenly Stones Couple Massage

“I am still blown away that you spent real time on my feet!  I get a lot of massages and every place I go the therapist seems to just go thru the motions when they come to the feet.  Now I know what a real foot massage feels like!  I mean the whole massage was phenomenal but since I stand and walk on my feet every single day, I am always needing a great foot massage.  Well, I guess I found it!  Thanks Donna for daring to be different.  I really look forward to coming back soon.”  Darius J.; Traveler’s Delight – Sept. 2018

“Wow!  Every time I come in I can go weeks and weeks without experiencing this stupid pain in my lower back!  Those stones work wonders.  Thanks so much. Getting regular massage has made such a difference in my life. I really see why your company is called heavenly healing hands! LOL ”  Antoinette J.; 90 Minutes of Heaven – Sept. 2018

“Okay, I get it now.  I have to admit – when you said  hot stones I got scared but now I see why folks love these stones!  So soothing and relaxing.  I may have been super stressed when I got here but not anymore.  Actually, I could feel myself relaxing just by being in your lovely massage room!  And my back feels better than it has in years.  Thanks Donna.  See you next month”.  Angela T.; Stressbuster Deluxe – August 2018

“We felt very welcome and relaxed.  Donna was professional and gave a good general – body massage while also incorporating the hot stones.  She also focused on the problem areas I mentioned before we started.”  Stelios T.; Heavenly Stones Couple Massage – July 2018

“Thanks Donna.  I was in so much pain when I came in.  I just had no idea that one can end up in this much pain being pregnant!  I know I only have one more month to go but this is one of the hardest things I have been through.  I really enjoyed the warm stones you used on my back and hips.  I am able to walk better now and I actually think I can fall asleep tonight!”  Angela L.; Serenity Prenatal Massage – August 2018

“Wow!  I am a runner and I also do a lot of weight training and spinning classes so I am always sore.  I wanted to try out a new place for massage and found Donna online.   I am so glad I came here.  Never knew this place was right by my job.  Donna is very knowledgeable and really knows sports massage.  She explained what she was doing and why and really put me at ease.  I never had hot stone massage before but those stones are nothing short of AMAZING!  I could feel the soothing heat getting down into my muscles and I got up from the table literally feeling like I could go run a marathon!  And the most interesting thing of all is I did not have to lay there clenching my teeth the whole time because Donna knows how to make deep tissue somehow feel good!  I will DEFINITELY be back! ”  Jeff V.; The Sports Bomb – July 2018

“I came in for a sports massage and got so much more.  I never knew that hot stone therapy could be so helpful with muscle fatigue.  I am preparing for a half marathon and I needed deep work but not too deep.  You found all my trouble spots!  I got the perfect blend of sport therapy and soothing relaxation massage.  And thanks for the advice on stretches to do and foam rolling for after I train.  It is much appreciated.  You will be seeing a lot of me in the coming weeks.  Thanks Donna.”  Helen A.; Sports Bomb (75 min session) – April 2018

“The environment was really relaxing and comfortable.  I enjoyed my first experience here, and I would come back any time.  My massage was one of the best one I have had so far!”  Darius A. and Tameka S.; Heavenly Stones Couple Massage – July 2018
