"Thank you so much for your healing hands. You've been a true partner in helping me to manage and work towards preventing my chronic pain. You rock!" -KP, Raleigh, NC

"I was given a gift-certificate for my first-ever professional massage. Didn't really know what to expect, but I have to say that I strongly recommend my therapist/masseuse, Dierdre Toomey. She took the time to get familiar with my general level of health and comfort, including specific areas of concern. When I explained that my shoulders were chronic problem-areas, she walked me through some possible causes and ways to help. Then she went to work. At the end of an hour my shoulders and upper back felt better than they have in months. And it lasted! I will be going back for more." -KC, Morrisville

"When I saw you two weeks ago, I said I'd write a comment on your work, but I hesitated. I wasn't sure why I didn't comment immediately -- the medical massage work you did on my lower legs and ankles resulted in better circulation and much less discomfort. The reason I hesitated was because I was waiting to see how long it took for my chronic discomfort to return. (It always seems to come back.)

It hasn't come back. Three cheers!!

My ankles aren't swollen after a long day at work, the 'clogged up' feeling in the muscles above my knees has eased, and the whole movement of my legs seems easier, from hip to foot. The insights about how the work you were doing could help me come into better balance has also stayed with me -- I remember not to splay one of my feet out so often, I shift my weight to ease my lower back, etc. You clearly love your work, and your willingness to share information has been of great benefit!" -GC, Carboro

"Great massage with Deirdre. She was professional and extremely helpful by giving me tips on how to improve the tension in my back. I will definitely rebook with her. The reason why I gave it 4 stars is because the bldg/room is not well insulated to sound. I heard cars drive by and the lawn mower. The room was also lit with natural light, which I'm not used to when getting a massage. Regardless, Deirdre was great and I highly recommend her.

"The beautiful and peaceful atmosphere, alone, is enough to begin the healing process. Deirdre is very aware of the body and combines a variety of techniques, specific to my individual needs. I immediately began to see improvements in my conditions. Deirdre is very thorough in her work. I am a chiropractor and I am very particular in my referrals. I would recommend Deirdre to anyone." -JB, Chapel Hill
