Kind Words...

“Sonya Scheer is a gifted massage therapist and a great woman. Her intuition along with her understanding of the body make for a massage that leaves you feeling whole again. She goes above and beyond by suggesting customized stretches for varying lifestyles of each of her clients. Sonya is very in tune with her clients and gives anyone confidence in
the power of massage!”
– Anna Grabowski and Ross McCarter

“I began to see Sonya after I had been diagnosed by a neurologist with cluster migraines.  One treatment with Sonya reduced my occurrence of pain significantly, and after three treatments I no longer suffered any of these symptoms. Regular monthly treatments with Sonya have kept me free of these crippling headaches for more that a year.
Sonya manages to be compassionate, warm, kind and professional all at the same time. She is without a doubt the most communicative RMT I have ever had the pleasure of receiving treatment from. It is the combination of those communication skills, her extraordinary talent, and knowledge of the body that make her such a successful massage therapist.  I know I will seek her out in the future for more treatments.”

“Sonya greatly helped with my post-pregnancy recover: focusing on rebuilding abdominal strength, realigning the body after a c-section, and releasing sore arms, neck, hips and back from carrying a baby.  She has a great understanding of the body, is positive and a good communicator, and has helped my body heal immensely.  I highly recommend her.”

“Sonya has the most wonderful energy and healing hands - truly a great experience. I have worked with many therapists over the years...and her kindness and knowledge of the body is just astounding.  I always leave feeling 100% better...whether it is just to relieve stress or
I have a particular issue.
I am so grateful to have found Sonya..and would highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Sonya is a very competent Registered Massage Therapist. I had a very painful frozen shoulder in 2008 that she worked on and in 3 months it was back to normal. Usual recovery is about a year. She also worked on my leg muscles that were giving me difficulty in walking and they were back to normal after two visits. Her cheerful disposition, amazing work ethic, knowledge, and ability to analyze and work on the problem areas are amazing. I always enjoyed my visits and felt I got more than my money's worth after every treatment. I highly recommend her.”
