Kickback Studios

I had a 90 minute massage from Margaret this morning and I am still floating in bliss. I need to have massage twice a month to keep nerve pain at bay, and I tell you, I have worked with a lot of massage therapists in my time. What i received from Margaret today was unlike anything I have ever experienced.
I will now attempt to describe what she is able to do that no other massage therapist I have seen can do.
I seemed as though Margaret’s heart, soul, and conscious attention had all moved into her hands. Every movement was conscious and deliberate. Her hands moved with the grace of a ballerina. Every stroke was long, slow, deep and smooth. At first I thought, «hum, that feels nice, but I wonder if it is powerful enough.» I am used to massages that hurt. The long, sweeping strokes seemed to have a cumulative effect. By the last half hour the effect of gentle, deep long strokes had lulled me into the deepest relaxation I can remember ever feeling. Yes, I am realizing now that my description is beginning to sound like a sex metaphor… Thinking about that, i realize that the experience was not sexual in nature at all, but rather deeply loving and compassionate. Margaret radiates compassion and genuine care while working. I felt so totally cared for.
Wow, I am truly at a loss for words to describe what I experienced. All I can say is thank you Margaret.

Margaret is a gifted body worker and I don’t use that word lightly. I found Margaret in a totally roundabout way when I was pregnant and oh was I glad to find her. She helped with my weird pregnancy related body issues and was an all around great moral support up until the time that she massaged me right into labor (a welcome relief). Now that the babies are out in the world Margaret is helping me to get my body back into alignment and working out the baby holding kinks.
I have never written a review before of anyone anywhere but am inspired to do so because of how totally awesome Margaret is. Get in there before she’s too busy to see you.

Margaret is incredible. I’m so spoiled. She knows it all and can do it all. She can transport me to a blissful place; she can find and fix painful body parts, pain I wasn’t aware of until it was suddenly gone; she relieves the stress I hold in my head and neck and shoulders; she understands the body and how it works and how the parts link together. Besides, she’s great fun to talk to and is caring and compassionate. You would do yourself a great favor to see her. And your friends will love you if you treat them to her care.

Living a life without a massage from Margret is like living your life and never visiting Paris…
So what exactly am I trying to say? Write down «Go and get a massage with Margret» on your life’s to do list and make sure that you put a check by it. Put multiple checks in fact. As many as you can.
Margret is the most amazing massage therapist — the best actually! I look forward to my appointments with her and long for them after they’re done.
OK — details! Why is she so awesome? To start, Margret is an incredibly well-​rounded CMT with tons of experience. She can go light, firm, or really strong — such a wild card. She always asks you what you specifically want worked on, IE. where’s it hurt, and always delivers! The thing I love the most about her massages is that she is able to deliver some pretty thorough deep tissue in the most relaxing way I’ve ever experienced. Get ready to turn off your conscious brain for an hour (90 minutes if you’re lucky), feel the most relaxed you’ve ever felt, and then float away. I feel great for weeks after my massages with Margret! While I’m getting massaged, I literally have to stop myself from drooling and it takes A LOT of effort to stay in the present moment instead of going to La-​La Land.
Get a massage with Margret!!! She’s nurturing, bright, really funny, and warm! It’s one of the best things you can do for yourself! Trust me, your body will feel the best it ever has!!!

As a dancer who has chronic Achilles tendinitis, I really need a masseuse who understands the specificities of the body and how to «work it». Margaret is one of these people. Her attention to detail blew all prior massages out of the water. I felt as if I was walking on clouds as I left her peaceful studio, looking like a puffer-​fish, relaxed and PAIN FREE! So if you are interested in an educated and thorough rub down, visit Margaret! She’s the best in town.

margaret is my inspiration.

she makes me want to quote 80’s power ballads to sing her praises.
in her healing practice, as in her life, she’s meticulous, knowledgeable, hilarious, caring… the wind beneath my wings (heh, or the elbow beneath my scapula).

Margaret is the very best.
This past year I’ve been getting massages more often than before to help out my super-​sore arm with its sad repetitive stress pain. My doctor noticed a marked difference and improvement after Margaret’s work!
Her little studio is cozy and warm and she takes great care to ensure that your well-​being is the focus of your session.
I refer her to all of my friends both male and female.

Pain in the neck? Back? Arms? Butt?
I’ve had them ALL.
Margaret is a great massage therapist, she works out all the kinks from my sore mouse-​hand to my hooker-​shoe wearing legs/​butt. She is committed to holistic healing/​health and you don’t get the feeling that you’re one of a line of people through the massage factory. She remembers my issues, and if she doesn’t know them, she asks.
She has a lot of nice touches in her own massage studio — from the pitches of fruit infused water to heated pad on the table (no more shivering in the room!) to scented aromatherapy oils for those of us who get stuffed up from laying face down.
And best yet, if she doesn’t know the answer to something or how to cure your ills from repeated therapy, she is not afraid to recommend someone who does. She is truly committed to making you well.
