After getting off a nearly 12-hour flight and dealing with some nagging back and neck pain that had been messing with my sleep, I finally decided to treat myself to a massage. I usually don’t splurge like that, but I’m so glad I did.
I was just looking for something close by and reasonably priced when I came across this little massage spot right here in the neighborhood. I didn’t really know what to expect, but as soon as I walked in, I was welcomed with a warm smile. The small but charming place was clean and smelled good. She asked all the right questions where the pain was, how long it had been bothering me, what I needed and I immediately felt comfortable.
I chose the 1 hour and 15 minute deep tissue massage for just $80, which felt like a steal. And let me tell you, Carlee was amazing. Super knowledgeable, incredibly strong for such a petite woman, and totally focused on relieving my pain. She even asked if it was okay to use a bit of CBD cream, no pressure, I accepted. She went a little over the time, but didn’t charge extra… said she just wanted to help.
If you’re looking for real relief, a kind and skilled massage therapist, and want to support a hardworking local business, this is the spot. It’s now my go-to—and honestly, it should be yours too. Perfect little gem right here in...

Scratch that—90 minutes that felt like 2.5 hours in the best way. You know when time slows down just enough for you to float away from your problems but still make it to Trader Joe’s after? That’s the magic Carly works.
She doesn’t just knead your muscles into submission (though YES, every knot in every nook, got handled like it owed her money)—she takes care of your whole being. Like, “cold hands and feet? Let me recommend a ginger tea and a foot soak” level care. Are you kidding me?! No one has ever cared about my glutes and circulation this much and still made me laugh.
Also, she’ has that rare unicorn energy where you walk in feeling like a stranger and leave like you just made a friend you trust with your tension and your secrets.
I came. I melted. I will definitely rebook. I'm never going anywhere else...
