STORIES of HEALING

I have been getting a Therapeutic Massage from Mandy every 2 - 3 weeks for more than 3 years, so my 5 star rating has history. As a Senior client of “Heart to Hand” I cannot emphasize enough the benefits to my mobility and pain management that those regular massages have yielded.

I can’t recommend Mandy and Heart to Hand enough! I first met Mandy when I was 9 months pregnant, and her services are exceptional. I make it a priority to see her regularly and always have a future appointment to look forward to. She has a remarkable way of combining care for the body and mind, creating a truly therapeutic space where you can relax and focus on yourself—the very definition of self-care. She has also been incredibly attentive and supportive with postpartum care, making me feel cared for during such a vulnerable time. Her space always reminds me of my daughter and the special timing of our paths crossing.

Mandy is incredibly talented at her craft and genuinely one of the kindest souls you’ll ever meet. Do yourself a favor and book a massage with her—you won’t regret it!

Mandy is an exceptional massage therapist and all around wonderful human being. After my mastectomy, I was very disconnected and disassociated from my body. Mandy was/is so helpful in gently guiding me back, helping to process the pain and the grief. With her help, I’m making my way back to empowerment. She is integral part of my health care and breast cancer recovery team.

It’s hard to put into words how incredible Mandy is! Every time I come out of a session with her, I feel changed. It’s not just bodywork, and her knowledge of the body is insane. I’ve been getting bodywork for 20+ years and I’ve never experienced anything like it. Not only that, but every time I leave feeling, seen, supported, and safe. I’m reminded how much my body does for me and how much I’m doing in my own life. There’s truly no one like Mandy, I’m so grateful for her and all that she does.

Mel

I have been seeing Mandy once a month for many years, starting in 2008, I think. There was an unwanted hiatus of about 4 years due to her cancer and the pandemic. Those years without her healing touch were hard for me. I have seen many other masseuses in my life but there is no comparison.
So many amazing moments have happened on her table over the years and I am really happy to be seeing her again!
