Outstanding Results, Extra-Ordinary Case

Gracie,

I wanted to convey my sincerest thanks. Your method of healing and instruction has proven to be invaluable to me.

As you know, I have attended several “boot camps routines”, soccer drop in classes and running clubs over the past couple years. Never really taking the time to stretch and cool down properly. I injured my foot, among other nagging little injuries that seem to have stayed with me over time. These injuries include: left rotator cuff – tensed; left wrist – weak spot – lost grasp quite a bit – pin and needle sensation; lumbar region, right girdle, and sacral region occasional discomfort; bloating sensation of the abdominal region; weak knee cap – clicking quite a bit; left and right calves – burning sensation and painful during touched on left calf, left ankle – severe pain when I was stretching it outwards and also clicking at the same time. Feet – both inner arches – excruciating pain when the weather was cold and they became stiff. The area between the big and the index toes – much more pain when in a rocking or certain grinding movement.

Moreover, I lead a very busy life and my poor diet and alcohol consumption was beginning to be a problem. I suffered from hemorrhoids and hangovers. At one point I would say that on a scale from 1- 100% my health was probably about 55% as I couldn’t even walk without the pain.

To better my health and cure these injuries, I sought podiatrists, massage therapists, physiotherapists, and chiropractors. Sometimes I would enjoy some temporary relief but these injuries kept coming back until I met you.

Gracie you spent hours with me talking about health and nutrition, stretching, and teaching me about peace of mind. I understand now there is so much more than I ever knew about health, body, and mind. You were patient and I have learned so much about diet and my body that I can’t thank you enough. Especially you were helping me drastically reduce my alcohol and bad food choices. At times the treatments I had some discomfort but in the end they healed my body. I’d say 80 to 85 percent on the overall improvement on the 3rd massage, and by the 4th treatment I would say I got about 90 to 100 percent of the result I had been looking for.

Thank you Gracie for caring about me. I can tell when you take on a new client it’s a passion for you to get them to a high level of health and well being. You are a rare person to find in this world.

Thank you.

Chronic Cases

Helped My Sleeping Issues

When I first started seeing Gracie for treatment, I was desperate to try anything to help with my INSOMNIA. I had been suffering for about 7 months with insomnia that appeared in my life out of nowhere (most likely stress induced).

After trying as many natural supplements as I could find, I finally gave in and tried prescription sleeping pills. My health had deteriorated substantially and I was willing to do whatever it took to just get some sleep. Of course, I quickly became addicted to the prescription pills.

After a couple of months, I decided to see a naturopath to learn how to ween off with the help of supplements under her supervision. It was a very bumpy road of bad nights, good nights, then more bad nights trying to find the right mix of supplements for my condition.

My naturopath advised me to try other treatment as well, such as acupuncture and/or energy healing. I heard about Gracie around this time and how she had helped someone I knew with their sleeping issues.

I saw Gracie as soon as I could and continued with her treatment every 10-14 days. After about 3 treatments, I was sleeping better. She explained to me about my neck and head and how past traumas could be affecting me.

Her very deep tissue massage was helping my sleeping, and I couldn’t have been happier. She also guided me about nutrition, stretching and other components to aid in my quest for normal sleeping patterns.

I have slowly been able to reach my maintenance level with her and I have continued to be really successful in my sleeping. She has also successfully helped me along the way with general back/neck tension I’ve always dealt with; her treatments seem to make my chiropractic treatments more successful. She has also helped with my knee pain and guided me through stretches and what activities to avoid until it is healed.

I am very thankful for Gracie’s help and care. I recommend her to anyone who is serious about getting better and is willing to commit the time and energy along with her treatments in order to see the results.

Thank you, Gracie!

I can sleep

Thank you Gracie…..I can sleep! ZZZZZZZZ

I have been troubled with insomnia for several years. Finally resorting to my Physician’s suggestion of a prescription sleep aid call Zopiclone. What a dance it has been. Wanting to stop but unable to sleep.

My initial appointment with Gracie she spoke about many important facts, one was the toxic effect that this drug was having on my body.

We began with nutrition, deep massage and some Chinese herbs. That was 2 months ago. Today I am sleeping well, feeling rested and pain free.

You are the best!

Customer Service Rep

So much more than your average R.M.T

Gracie offers so much more than your average R.M.T. As a Deep Tissue Tui Na Practitioner she gets right to the root of your ailment and works the area, so that you are able to heal yourself instead of just addressing the surface area like most R.M.T.’s do – constantly ‘maintaining’ your ailment. I was very impressed with Gracie’s approach to my ailments and how she included a nutritional/diet plan within the consultation – again, approaching the problem as a whole and not just surface-level.

If you are interested in healing yourself of your ailments, instead of just ‘maintaining’ your ailments, I would highly recommend Gracie Ang, as I am sure you would not find another service like this anywhere in B.C., let alone Canada.

Thank you Gracie, for all you have done for me!

Keeping My Body Nimble And Limber

I came to see Gracie for severe shoulder tendonitis and I could not lift my arm at all without chronic pain. That happened for many months. It was from many years of wears and tears on this shoulder.

After the first two sessions, I started to get mobility and pain has reduced tremendously and am now back to regular work again.

Gracie has also treated my very swollen, inflamed foot and it had gout for about 10 years. I could not walk probably without great pain and at very slow pace and that was when I first saw Gracie.

Gracie has successfully treated my foot and the foot is back to normal now and fit in a smaller shoe and I enjoy walking and doing more activities without the inconvenience of the gout problem.

Gracie has a diet and nutrition whole body wellness approach and I have recommended Gracie to all my my friends and family. I highly recommend Gracie and I continue to see her for maintenance to keep my body nimble and limber.

Lumbago/hemorrhoids

When I originally saw Gracie, my main issue was incredibly tense shoulder muscles which were a fairly new addition to my several years long struggle with a sore lower back. After 2 massage treatments, my shoulder muscles were no longer tense and I started noticing an improvement in my lower back. Two treatments later the back was significantly improved at which point Gracie referred me to another professional and between the 2 of them, the back aches I had suffered for many years went away and I am happy to write that I have been pain free now for over a year.

Since Gracie uses a holistic approach to healing she asked me what other health problems I had and I mentioned my hemorrhoids. At that time I discovered that Gracie had a good understanding of the causes of this, and what can happen if you don’t work towards improving this. She proved to be very knowledgeable on diets and I noticed that my bowel movements and the frequency and amount of bleeding reduced very significantly after following her advice.

Besides the 2 more serious health issues mentioned above, there were 2 other minor issues I told Gracie about. One was occasional ringing in the ears and the other was related to my bladder. To improve the ringing in my ears, Gracie massaged the ear area while focusing on certain pressure points. It is now very rare that I suffer from this.

The second problem was that I used to wake up in the middle of the night to pee. After several treatments that involved massaging the bladder area, the problem completely went away and I can now even drink a glass of water right before bed without any problems.

I continue to see Gracie now on a maintenance basis and continue to feel in great overall health.

Chronic back pain/Sciatica

To Whom It May Concern,

I would like to thank Gracie for her kindness and the wonderful work she has done for me.

Having suffered from back pain for many years – and there have been long periods when I was absolutely miserable. I am now virtually pain free. No other treatment or therapy has been of such lasting help. It is a rare day that I even consider taking a painkiller.

Thank you Gracie. It may not be magic, but it is pretty darn close.

Sincerely,

Stress, Tension, and Nutrition Help

I have been associated with Gracie Ang, for a good few years who is a super Practitioner.
Challenges I faced:

Overall stress related problems, plus absorption of radiation/chemotherapy plus ongoing CT scan, MRI ultrasound producing radiating effects, poison for human body delaying responsive healing.

Tension caused by trauma: suffered as a child, holding onto the past were all primary causes, eventually leading up to arthritic likenesses in muscles, tissues and tendons.
Over the past, both regularly, and systematically I received deep muscle massages from Gracie, her approach exceedingly effective bringing to my awareness, greater understanding o f the origin of my problem, acknowledging they are there, and eventually working them out of my body – this is a continual process.

In helping me achieve all of these recognizable signs of growth and development. She directed and advised me to increase my diet nutritionally, spiritually and affirming my own personal growing and developing in a better more rounded person. Development also included confidence building affirmations and physical exercise. I have to work consistently at this. I demonstrated consistency and reliability which Gracie also demonstrates in her whole passionate life’s beliefs.

My goals, even though they change, grow and expand basically come down to being more whole, free and a successfully creative and prosperous individual who is always happier and more content.

Summary:
Without hesitation, I would recommend any person or parties interested in wanting to improve and achieve a greater sense of well-being to contact and speak with Gracie!

Neck, Back, and CTS

I went for treatments for 40 years to professional with limited results. I came to Gracie and received very good results in 3 visits (75 percent). I keep coming and got up to 98 percent improvement in 7 sessions! The problem areas were neck, middle back, wrists (carpal tunnel), numb fingers, with numb feeling on my back, acute abdominal pain, acid reflux gone, sneezing (allergy) gone, improve bladder function. Overall feeling like I am 20 years younger!! Still coming to see Gracie to try and feel even better.

Allergies, lumbago, stomach bloating, stiff neck and shoulder….much relief!!

Gracie possesses phenomenal techniques as a massage practitioner helping me become healthier.

My head: my scalp’s itchiness and discomfort is improving. I am also receiving acupuncture needles to alleviate the itching pain.
My neck is loosening up and becoming more tension free.
My shoulders and back combined with exercising is becoming freer.
My middle back is becoming more relaxed and is gaining better mobility.
My lower back and buttock, of which I herniated L4 and L5 discs are becoming remarkably more pain free. It takes a lot of duress, however I have responded, physically very well. Cramping and tightness are easing off.
Cramping and scarring tissue in my bottom, as well as from the discs are improving except when I get my testosterone injection.
My chest is freeing up and I breathe much more comfortably.
My stomach even though somewhat bloated is settling.
Arms and my legs are relaxing more than before the massages.
My hands and feet are warming up with better circulation.
My MRI scan has stopped in Jun, 2011 for the first time in the last 10 years and feel better than ever.

In summary Gracie’s massage is benefiting my whole physical self.

Finally, I must admit in my life right now, I am feeling very lonely and depressed. Depression feelings overwhelm me and I have no control over them!

I must conclude by stating 3 days ago I went and saw the eye specialist and had a cataract cloud lasered out of my right eye. So as you can imagine I have been unbalanced physically for the last couple of weeks, it is improving though.

Martial Arts Injury

Gracie Ang has a healing touch! I was injured several years ago in a Martial Arts competition. The results of that injury kept me in pain for many years. Gracie had mentioned to me that she was giving treatments for muscular strains, tears and pulls, as well as tendon stretching and relaxation. I was skeptical as to whether or not she could help relieve the constant, nagging pain I had been living with for so long.

After just 2 treatments, I began to feel noticeably better. I had more range of motion and the pain had been reduced significantly. My mood changed and I have since, smiled more often, which means more to me than anyone can imagine.

Gracie truly has healing hands and I would recommend her to anyone who is seeking relief.

Stress and Tension

I have seen Gracie in a professional capacity as a massage client four times.

Being a single mother of two with a host of medical conditions, I thought massage therapy as a trial to alleviate pain and reduce stress and tension in my body. Pancreatitis and a host of other conditions brought me to meet and try Gracie’s massage as a tool to aid in my recovery process and to return to a productive individual that I knew I was.
Her patience, tolerance and understanding were always present whenever I arrived. The atmosphere and ambiance of her massage room allows for relaxation and comfort.

During each half hour massage, she identified critical points of the body to address and practiced her newfound knowledge on those critical points. The massage to knots in some muscles and massaging the area of the pancreas were attended to systematically. She was always attentive, patient and asked how much pressure was acceptable for me. It was apparent to me that professionalism and courtesy towards an individual’s needs is important to her. After each massage she gave recommendations, instructions on how to continue my course of treatment, and a cup of green tea.

The day after treatment, my body and its muscles relaxed and I felt the massage was working. With Gracie’s positive encouragement pain reduction were felt, relaxation of the body and spirit did start to occur.

Gracie is a secure individual who has the professional demeanor and capacity to attend to a client’s needs; inspire the client to seek massage as an alternative medicine for stress and pain management, and address the individual in their quest of a healthy, balanced lifestyle. I look forward to having Gracie as a source of therapy for myself to continue to in my pursuit for a healthy and balanced life. I would recommend her again for that inspiration. Her door is always open.

Ankle, Wrist, and Shoulder Pain

Hello Gracie,

I just wanted to write you a quick email to thank you for the help you have given me so far with the pain I was suffering from. Your therapeutic massage has made a huge difference in my daily pain level.

Originally, my girlfriend had heard about your work, and after hearing me complain about many aches and pains, she decided to bring me to see you.

It was the first time I had seen a deep tissue massage expert. When we spoke at your studio, you informed me that the massage would hurt somewhat because you had to apply pressure to break up muscle tension and to encourage healing in the tissue. You also explained to me that I had to come on a schedule so that the tissue would have time to heal, but not enough time to start getting damaged again.

The first massage was painful, but the results were impressive. I started feeling less and less pain in my ankle, wrists and shoulders. The frequency of the migraine headaches decreased noticeably.

By the Second, Third and Fourth Massage I noticed the pain was decreasing even though you were still doing deep tissue massage. I was also impressed that you found a few muscle knots where I had no pain at all. I’ve noticed improvement in mobility as well.

I am doing much better now, and experience less pain. I still have some pain in my wrists, but I do a very physical job cutting concrete, so if I had no pain at all I would be very worried, as it would mean I ‘m dead LOL. Just kidding.

I am very glad that my girlfriend encouraged me to seek out help, and that you have been able to help me live with less pain. I look forward to seeing you again in two months to maintain the improvement made.

Leg and Hip Pain

I have been seeing Gracie for four treatments to resolve pain in my legs and hip area that have been ongoing for the past year. After the first treatment I felt immediate comfort and by the second session I was pain free.

Before going to Gracie, I went to different massage practitioner and even tried Thai massage receiving only temporary relief of pain.

I recommended a few of my friends to Gracie and all are happy with the positive results.

Thank you again.

Sports Injuries and Car Accident

I came to Grace Ang last November with pain accumulated over the last 50 years from sports injuries, car accident and work related injuries.

I had torn rotator cuffs, sprang ankles, torn calves, injured hips, broken arms, sore lower back, scoliosis of back, burnt feet on beach fire etc.

ICBC didn’t help by giving treatment too late. Worker’s Compensation was much better knowingly that sooner you are treated the sooner you would get back to work – its just not the kind of medical help. Other practitioners only treat or are paid for treating the injuries and cannot treat the whole body.

Gracie treats all the injuries as well as whole body and gets the blood to invigorate all the natural healing to make a younger and healthier you.

In five treatments I am ten years younger and in five more treatments I will be 20 years younger. The pain is short but improvements are lasting.

Bad Ankle and Headaches

I went to see Gracie on an issue with my ankle that had been bothering me for a year. After about 5 massages treatments, the severe problem of my ankle had gone away.

While I was in the pre consultation phase Gracie asked about my reoccurring headaches that have plagued me most of my life. I have been seeing massage therapists for over 20 years with little to no success in that area. We had in depth discussion about my issues and treatment began.

I felt initial relief that I had never experienced before. My headaches started to decline in number of occurrences as well as severity in just about 3 massage treatments.

I can today say that I am no longer inflicted with problem headaches. This was a result I didn’t think was possible.

I followed Gracie’s schedule for massage and am now reaping the benefits that no other massage practitioner has given.

I am glad I found Gracie, and highly recommend her services to anyone serious about fixing their ongoing chronic issues.

Lump on Rib and Achilles Injury

Started with Gracie Ang in December, 2010. With after 2nd treatment I had good results. After the 3rd treatment, the results were excellent. With lump on rib that I had for 30 years and Achilles injury 5 years ago. At present, I have no pain, no numbness and scars are gone. Hip injury was extremely tender and now is 100% recovered. Gracie also helped with my acid reflux. I sleep better and feel 10 years younger. I feel confident and emotionally content. I strongly recommend Gracie as a qualified practitioner.

Recurring Headaches for 20 Years

I have experienced recurring headaches for approximately twenty years. I also had a left and right shoulder pain, left elbow soreness and my left hip had had difficulty walking for the first few steps. I took Tylenol and Ibuprofen to ease the pain.

I had seen 3 separate chiropractors over the course of that time. I did get some relief, but it never lasted long.

Then I was in a minor car accident in April 2011. My husband set up an appointment for me with Gracie to ease the tension in my body.

Within 3 sessions Gracie was able to wear away a calcium build up that had grown on one of my upper vertebrae, and I have not had a single headache in 5 months now.

Gracie managed to do in 3 visits what 96 chiropractors’ visits could not. I had had about 98 percent of improvement on the health issues I had had mentioned above during my fourth visit.

Thank you Gracie.

Head Trauma

I suffered a head trauma that resulted in chronic pain in my head and tension in the back of my neck and shoulders. I also suffered from blurry vision as the result of the head trauma. I was in a 3 day comma and having the trauma for a period of about 8 months.

When I went to the medical doctor initially, I was prescribed the painkillers (ibuprofen 600mg) for the pain and left to my own without further treatment. I took about 2 or 3 of this 600mg ibuprofen per day.

Gracie checked out my injury and gave me some treatments and told me that it was the blockage of the blood flow to my brain, together with the tissue that was scarred before and after as a result.

After two short treatments (about one and a half hour) much to my relief the tension and pain level has dropped significantly and the blurry vision has eased.

I suggested her treatment to anyone who feels chronic pain because it really helps.

Cabinet Wood Worker

Lower Shoulder Pain

Before I went to consult Gracie Ang Tui Na Deep Tissue Massage Practice, my problems were lower shoulder with much pain on a daily basis. Other problems were lateral and posterior sides of the neck area of a regular constant pain once in a week. Chest pain with the quite frequent muscular pain and because of that and other root causes create the frequent diarrhea. I also face quite a lot of pain on the sacral region just below the lumbar region on a regular basis. Usually, after driving for 2 or 3 hours, the right side of the hip area would flare up tremendously. Therefore for that reason, the groin would also flare up to and was facing with excruciating pain an hour each time approximately. Also, when the right hamstring flared up, the pain would not go away for another hour at least.

After seeing Gracie Ang Tui Na Deep Tissue Massage Practice, overall result was really good (95 percent) and I was surprised it did not take more than the third massage treatment to get such good result. I am now enjoying a pain free body and I would go to Gracie’s massage practice on a maintenance basis. I could not express my happiness and gratitude enough at visiting Gracie’s massage practice.

I have been seeing Gracie now for nine months and I am happy to say that I am getting GREAT results.

 

Construction Worker - Rib Cage, Knee Caps, Lumbar Region

Before I went to Gracie Ang for her Tui Na Deep Tissue Massage Treatment, my problems were:

  • Nose was always blocked with lots of mucus.
  • Right and left shoulders would be experiencing lots of pain. Neck on the right and middle – excruciating pain and when I turned I was feeling the “crunchy” sensation and it stiffened up at most times.
  • Sternum – stabbing pain, usually for about a couple of hours each time and went on for the whole day occasionally.
  • Rib cage – cramped up severely for 4 to 5 minutes when it was turned (every time).
  • Thoracic vertebrae (middle) felt “crunchy” constantly.
  • Lumbar region- lots of pain and discomfort and when bending over – would also have to sleep on my side and then the pelvic region started to flare up after an hour sleeping in that position and would have to change to the other side of the pelvis.
  • Acid reflux – lasted for 10 minutes when occurred.
  • Thigh – right and left and severe spasm and sciatic nerve pain that would come at the same time usually when kneeling down for a long time and worsened with a car accident in 2011 (last year). Left thigh would worsen and flare up even more than on the right thigh and knee. The left knee fracture took place many years ago (before the 2011 car accident).
  • Knee cap – (left) would be impossible to bend and felt the numbing pain after kneeling for an hour.
  • Heel – (left) hurt quite a bit and together with the weak Achilles – tendons and ligaments it was quite bruised from years of not getting the proper treatments.

After about the 3rd to the 4th massage treatments, huge amount of mucus collected in the nasal passage and then had gone away almost completely. The “crunchiness” and severe pain on the nape-of-neck area were gone. The shoulder pain had reduced to almost nothing and the mobility returned. Same improvement came back on the sternum. After about 4th to the 5th massage treatments, rib cage and the middle thoracic vertebrae pain had reduced tremendously from the rate of 9 out of 10 (for pain level). Around this time the sciatic nerve problem had also reduced tremendously. The left knee cap severe pain and immobility had also healed up quite completely from a rate of 9 out of 10. Within this period of time, I did some stretches and also followed some of Ms. Ang’s instructions for dietary advice (and other procedures) on an on-going basis. I received full recovery and she brought back my hopes, dreams and relief introducing me to a pain free and healthy lifestyle. I am still going to Gracie Ang for maintenance and I am very happy with her treatment and I would highly recommend her for those who want to seek permanent pain relief.

I went to Gracie with TMJ  and mid thoracic pain;  both were impacting my lifestyle. I was getting by with Tylenol and ibuprofen every 6 hours.   Within two months of treatment from Gracie my pain has gone down from 7-8/10 to 2-3/10. I stopped using the analgesics on Gracie's recommendation, and have managed without since first seeing her. I have also been following Gracie's dietary recommendations and have noticed an increase in general well being and improved sleeping patterns.  I would not hesitate to recommend Gracie for her therapy expertise.

I went to see Gracie on the advice of my Chiropractor. I was having migraine headaches with numbness on one side of my face. I was in two accidents in the 80s and have suffered from severe whiplash, back, hip and knee pain that was going all the way down to my ankle. My fingers were always going numb at night and in the morning it would last for about 15 min. I also was having night sweats. In other words I was a mess!!

The first time I saw Gracie was in January 2016 after 4 treatments I noticed a big difference. I was sleeping better and no night sweats.  I am on maintenance now my headaches are gone also the numbness in my fingers. My hip and knee don't bother me anymore either.  Gracie made a difference in my life and I will continue my maintenance program with her.

I originally came to see Gracie for chronic back and hip pain that was a result of multiple motor vehicle accidents and being a tradesman mechanic for 25 years .

I also have a history of clinical depression and anxiety for a few decades and the symptoms were foggy thoughts, lack of focus and agility was not there. I was also having some symptoms of severe Gout for many years and on and off night sweats.

Gracie had treated my symptoms successfully and I’ve found that following her recommendations on diet and stretching and also coming back for a maintenance massage after having the great results has really helped my well being.

I find I’m feeling a lot better overall and my mental focus is better than ever .

Thanks for all your help Gracie.

Back Pain

Hi Gracie,

I want to thank you for your work to help relieve my back pain. I have been experiencing back pain off and on for the past 15 years. I tried various methods such as hot packs, cold packs and back massagers. None of that worked. However, when I met Gracie, she mentioned about deep tissue pressure massage and finger manipulation. I won’t go into further details about it, but it worked. At first, I felt a little tender pain in the part of my body where she worked. After a few days, I felt a tremendous difference. It was amazing the back pain I had a few days prior was gone. Usually it took weeks and months for the pain to dissipate. Gracie, I want to thank you so much, I highly recommend her to anyone who has joint or back pain. Give her a try!

Lower Back Pain

I play a couple of physical sports throughout the year and have been suffering lower back pain for over 20 years. I have been to several chiropractors over the years that offered temporary relief but never complete relief.

I was referred to Gracie Ang, proprietor of Gracie Ang Tui Na Deep Tissue Massage Practice by a fellow teammate. The deep tissue massage that the practitioner provided was painful at first, as discussed in my initial consultation but after three (3) treatments, the lower back pain extremely subsided.

Currently I perform the recommended stretches by her on a daily basis and now visit Gracie Ang Tui Massage Practice every 3 months or so for maintenance.

I find Gracie Ang extremely knowledgeable and a caring practitioner and have recommended her to my friends and family.

Neck and Back Problems

I am a computer software engineer and have had neck and upper back problems for about 10 years. The problems are: tension, headache and lassitude. All other massages gave me only temporary relief, only Gracie managed to help me by providing and achieving permanent result. After the third visit I totally recovered. At present, I am going for treatment about once in every 3 months or so and feel myself so much relief as I have never felt before for the last 10 years.

Severe Lumbar Pain

To whom it may concern,

Before consulting Gracie and taking consultation with her Tui Na Deep Tissue Massage Practice, I suffered severe pain on my lumbar region – spasm for many decades; the recent tingling, pinching and numbness of my left palm; gaseous abdominal problem; diarrhea; urinary bladder problem for many years; hypertension with my blood shot eyes and past chest pain.

Well, from Gracie’s medical record I got pretty outstanding result within the fourth to the fifth treatment for all these health issues and at the same time she helped me with my smoking addiction and it was pretty well managed and under control.

I used to visit my chiropractor every 2 months or so, but since have had massage treatments with Gracie, I have not needed to go anymore.

Retired Teacher

Back and Rotator Cuff Pain

Gracie Ang’s Tui Na deep tissue massage is the best massage that I’ve ever had.

I came to see Gracie for treatment of upper back pain and rotator cuff pain. She has the ability to zero in on the knotted muscles and work out the knots. She focused on the sore muscles and very quickly helped me get rid of the pain and get the mobility back in my shoulder. I highly recommend Gracie’s 3-Step Massage Treatment to anyone experiencing muscle pain.

Gracie made a trip to Singapore last year, and despite her tight schedule she managed to give me 2 Tui Na massage sessions on my painful lower back around the lumbar area. After the second session, and with her recommendation exercise routine for me, now I can sleep much better throughout the night and waking up in the morning is no longer a pain anymore. I would recommend her to anyone with back pain. I am a living example.

Yours truly,

I had real problems with the deep massage. However, we came to an agreement and I had massage, half way between deep and shallow; these massages really worked very well. Massages felt very relaxing and stimulating. I appreciate it very much, what Gracie did.

Neck Pain

Gracie, I truly appreciate you and what you did for me through only ONE massage, although it was painful at first. I am realizing the benefits of the process on a daily improvement list. It has been bitterly cold here and we have not made it to the pool yet because of those negative temperatures but we’ve been doing the stretches every day. The only real problem that I can foresee now is my neck which I’m overcoming all the time with the stretches again. I look forward to seeing you again, take care please. I admire you. Thank you again.

Again I feel truly blessed to have you in my life, thank you once again.

Her Clients Have Said

Construction Worker

The first massage was painful, but the results were impressive. I started feeling less and less pain in my ankle, wrists and shoulders. The frequency of the migraine headaches decreased noticeably. By the Second, Third and Fourth Massage I noticed the pain was decreasing even though you were still doing deep tissue massage. I was also impressed that you found a few muscle knots where I had no pain at all. I’ve noticed improvement in mobility as well.

In five treatments, I am ten years younger and in five more treatments, I will be 20 years younger. The pain is short and improvements are lasting.

Before going to Gracie, I went to other different health practitioners and even tried Thai massage receiving only temporary relief of pain.
