I treated my mom to a 60m massage session with Julie as a birthday present. I very much appreciated all the thought & effort she has put into her system, which is very well laid out and allows for making an appointment online easily. The prepayment process did prompt for a tip (optional: I could have indicated none, but it still prompted me, nevertheless) which felt a little awkward; I feel like a tip should always be after service, never before, and although service sectors should customarily receive tips, being prompted for one, especially beforehand, kind of feels like I'm put on the spot, so I did not care for that part. However, that is honestly the only critique I can offer about GMT, which is a strong testament to the quality of this business, as I am quite a fastidious consumer and can [& do] easily find fault with a variety of things in our business world. GMT was the only one that 'made my cut' when I was reviewing testimonials in pursuit of selecting the right place for my mom's treatment. Julie was very cordial, welcomed us in, and had a nice chat to better understand my mom's needs before her session. Afterward, my mom reported that the massage made her feel amazing! Money well spent, and I hope to talk my mom into coming back in and letting me treat her to another session again! Thanks Julie, keep up the great work helping people feel rejuvenated in a most stressful day we live in nowadays—the blessing of this power cannot be understated, so I hope you receive all the praise you so very...
Read more1/2023 Wanted to update my review to include my massage with Becky. Not only is she a great massage therapist, but she utilizes her knowledge of Physical Therapy to help in her practice. Her understanding of muscle movement and origination help her position the body to get the best relief for you. This understanding also helps her to explain movements and sleep positions that may be causing you pain and discuss how to counteract it. I highly recommend her for helping to move those pesky knots from the body and improve your daily life.
2022 Alivia is so sweet, caring and helpful. I’ve seen her twice now. She has great communication before your session as a gentle reminder and what you need to know for your appointment and checks in with you during your massage. She changes pressure as needed and works on troublesome areas as requested. I tweaked my back and she was able to loosen up some of the tight muscles causing pain. She checks in with you before using anything other than her regular oil (ie asked if it was ok to use a certain cream to help relax the tight painful lower back hip muscles). She’s a delight to work with. The environment is very calm and soothing. She did a great job keeping me draped during the massage. Once my back is at baseline again, I look forward to trying her table...
Read moreMy husband and I had a massage while in Gainesville last weekend. We certainly expected to relax and let go of the stress we were both holding. What we experienced was way more! Stephanie was not only very kind and welcoming, but she was by far the best therapist I have ever encountered. She took the time to ask about pain points and areas I wanted her to concentrate on, and involved me in my massage. I have never had anyone show such care and concern for my comfort and to assure the pressure applied was adequate. She asked about the pressure throughout the massage, which led to a better experience for me. She also took time to explain that the areas where I held stress was normal and shared ways I could help myself after the massage with stretching and paying attention to my body when pain begins. These tips have been very helpful to me and I truly appreciate all that she did to assure an experience that was second to none. I have referred a couple of friends in Gainesville to her. You are so fortunate to have a therapist that truly is doing what she is passionate about. It was evident from the moment we arrived and after when she asked how I was feeling the next day. Such a wonderful experience! Thank you,...
