Testimonials - Miracle of Touch

I am always amazed at the miracle of touch. I never know if what I am doing will make a difference, so it is always nice to receive feedback that I helped to reduce pain. As a massage therapist, I don't do anything "magic" - I simply help the body into the parasympathetic mode, or into a state of relaxation, and the body can begin to heal itself.

One regular client said that he considered me one of his healthcare providers - along with his doctors, physical therapists, and other providers. That was one of the best compliments I have ever received! I would love to work together with other helathcare practitioners in meeting your needs. -Heidi

Testimonials from Clients

"I began therapy with Heidi about two months ago, and I have seen good improvement in my flexibility and circulation. I've broken the seventy-year-old barrier and my muscles and joints have gotten stiff and sore from injury and over-use, plus the circulation isn't as efficient as it once was. Heidi has done a lot to improve my overall well-being and lift my spirits in general. She's easy to talk with, listens closely and thinks before speaking. I've worked with several massage therapists for health reasons over the years; my profession was a very physically demanding one and I incurred much injury and tissue damage before retiring. 

Heidi continually adds to her knowledge database, uses her books and the Internet to learn about specific issues pertaining to her clients, is one of the more knowledgeable therapists I've found and is my favorite. I'm sincere when I say I am grateful to her for her innate need to understand the human body, her (ongoing) help, her ability to communicate on a deeper level and her compassion. These are the things I find important in a medical professional, and that is where she excels  Thanks, Heidi!"
-Jim M. (March 2019)

​"My experience at Renewal Massage Clinic has been such a blessing as I was recuperating from chronic sciatica and hip bursitis. I had been seeing a physical therapist and was released from his care with a slight amount of relief from pain. Heidi was successful with doing positional release in the area along with her healing touch massage over several months of therapy. Now, free from pain, I feel like I have my life back again and will be forever grateful to her and her knowledge and expertise."

"The opportunity to have Heidi work on my sports induced issues was helpful. She has a calming and reassuring disposition that makes the process smooth. Being afraid she took the time to explain what was happening with my body and how I could assist in the healing process as she massaged, found pressure points and moved the legs and back. I am hoping for a return appointment."
-Stephanie P. (Aug. 2018)

"Heidi came to my  rescue last Friday. . . . I was awakened by severe back pain. . . I received no help from my physician and was left to experience continued severe pain over the weekend. I decided to call Heidi . . . . [She] had family visiting . . . . [yet] was very empathetic and responsive to my needs. . . . She massaged my back for only about 15 minutes.I experienced almost instant pain relief.  I went home from the massage and fell asleep. The pain was gone and hasn’t returned. . . . She is a hero health care provider.

Myofascial Release

"I slept with ZERO shoulder pain last night. I think it's the best I've slept in weeks!! Usually wake up several times to sharp pain and aching with numbness in hands and fingers. It's gone. Boom!!! Supah powers!!!"
-Kristi C (March 2017 after Myofascial Release on the shoulder joint)

"I have gone to Heidi many times to receive help with my knee that had ACL and meniscus surgery as well as for occasional migraines. She is very knowledgeable professional and competent and I felt relief from pain in both my knee and migraines when I was treated. I also saw an increase in range of motion in my knee. I believe that by going to Heidi I was able to heal quicker which allowed me to participate more fully in activities."
-Dallin H (Nov. 2016 after many Myofascial Release and Cranio-Sacral sessions)

“I had ACL surgery on both my knees (33 & 24 years ago) and have since suffered from chronic pain and reduced range of motion. I am pleased at how quickly my knees responded to the massages I received.  The increased range of motion and the decreased amount of pain has been excellent.” 
-Darin H. (May 2014)

“For years I have been plagued by symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome: pain, burning sensations and numbness in my hands and fingers. Heidi began treating me with massage and after one treatment the improvement was incredible. After three treatments I am now pain free and have no numbness or tingling in my hands and fingers.” 
-Michele W. (May 2014)

Manual Lymph Drainage

"I am a breast cancer survivor. During this past year I have been receiving . . . massage therapy from Heidi! She gives me a Lymph massage the day before I have the chemo infusion. This activates my lymph system and has helped move the chemo toxins out of my body. . . . Heidi is very intuitive to what kind of massage will benefit me and areas of the body that need attention and the amount of pressure needed. . . . Heidi listens to my concerns and allows me to help guide the course of massage for healing. . . ."
-Michelle W. (Oct 2014)

Michelle is a dear friend who fought breast cancer for five and half years. While I was in school, she allowed me to practice everything on her. Together we learned what helped her feel better. She provided me with much feedback and invaluable advise. She was one of my most staunch supporters as I studied and learned. I will miss her immensely. She passed away on 30 January 2015.

"Heidi performed lymph massage on my daughter after a root canal gone bad. She had excessive swelling and pain - her symptoms were markedly reduced and her recovery time decreased after her massage with Heidi!!"
-Janeal I. (July 2014)

Targeted Pain-Relief Massage

"I love your massages and appreciate you being attentive to my needs and injuries. You have helped release tight muscles in my back and other areas, given me more mobility and range of motion, and helped relieve stress. Thanks for all of the helpful tips and for sharing your amazing skills!"
-Lisa S. (Feb. 2018)

"Heidi is awesome.  She was very attentive to my particular needs coming into the massage and I felt a lot better afterward."
​-Farrel E. (May 2017 after neck massage)

"As a retired healthcare provider, I am very picky and take great care in selecting those who provide me healthcare.  I experience lower back pain and tight hamstrings and SI joints from serving a labor intensive service mission.  Heidi’s personal care and expertise completely relives the pain and discomfort allowing me to function normally and continue to serve.  She helps me maintain my health and the lifestyle I desire.  I have the greatest confidence in her and her work."
-Russ H. (March 2017)

"First off I have to thank you again! I can't believe the difference in how my legs feel. Does it make sense if I say my legs feel relaxed? . . . I definitely slept better last night and this morning when I woke up I wasn't stiff. . . . Right now I don't even have a hint of pain which really makes me happy. . . "

"I need to thank you again for being my miracle worker! I can't believe how much better my neck feels! There's still a tiny bit of stiffness on the right side but not very much and it isn't painful. There's no pain down my arm so it seems like the pinched nerve issue has been resolved. Yay! It's amazing to me how much movement I have on both sides of my neck. I haven't been able to move this well for a long time! I definitely should have come to see you sooner!"
-Becky M. -again! (Oct 2016)

Spinal Touch

"I was going to text you earlier today and tell you how amazing my lower back was feeling. I haven't felt this great in a long time. Usually I am so uncomfortable and in a lot of pain throughout my day. I've been able to enjoy my weekend without having any back pain."
-Stephanie J. (Jan. 2015)

"Heidi worked on me after I was experiencing trigeminal neuralgia for almost a month of straight pain. . . . after leaving her clinic, the pain was gone and didn't return. . . . THANK YOU SO MUCH for my PAIN FREE living!"

"I can put my pants on WITHOUT pain! I have had chronic lower back pain for years. The pain has limited my activities. I was a little nervous to receive massages and skeptical of the benefits. I noticed a reduced amount of pain after the first massage. Now after several months, the pain is almost gone and I am able to do activities that I enjoy doing!" 
- Hans M. (May 2014 after receiving Spinal Touch, Myofascial Release, and Cryotherapy)

Swedish Massage

-Kim T. (July 2016)

“Heidi has worked to find the best methods to assist me with my neck, lower back and right hip. Not only has it provided relief physically but it relaxes my psyche too! She is professional and very dedicated to her work. She will take extra time to be sure that she has addressed all of the areas of my body that need work.” 
-Shannon C. (May 2014)

"Heidi is so amazing! I am 8 months pregnant and I had a really painful pinched nerve in my neck for several days. I called and she was so accommodating to get me in right away. As soon as she started working on my neck the pain was instantly gone! She is very talented and also very concerned about your comfort level during the massage. I plan to continue to get massages through the rest of my pregnancy and after I deliver."
-Sunnee G. (Aug 2014)
