“Cory stands out as particularly knowledgeable, intuitive, strong, compassionate and skilled. I first visited her looking for general stress relief during a difficult time, and she did not disappoint. Recently, I returned to her with a specific physical pain issue. Very quickly, she engaged me in a new exploration of pain which has been life-changing. She has shared very helpful educational resources with me, as well as stretches for me to do between sessions. Because of her acute observational and intuitive gifts, every session is unique. She is a massage therapist and physical therapist rolled into one. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

—Julia Kreilkamp

—Donna Broderick

“I started coming to you because two people recommended you—two very different people. One said you were an athlete and really good at helping with injuries, and could also suggest exercises and stretches to help strengthen weak areas. My quilting friend, let loose a heavy-duty sigh one day and mentioned that she had a massage with you that afternoon and was really looking forward to it. She said she saw you once a month to help relieve stress from work and to just "give herself a treat." She said it was "so relaxing" and l believe heavenly was the word she used. So l thought it would be a great treat for myself as well! Your knowledge of the workings of the body is amazing and your presence is so calming and relaxing, and I enjoy everything about your massages—even when it hurts!”

—Jan Tynan

“You are my first line of defense when it comes to preventative measures for my 74 year old body/mind! Maintenance is my game plan and that includes your healing hands and heart! Truly grateful for that special touch of yours. I sing your praises! And I'll see you next week for my birthday massage! Yay!”

—Janice Kittner

—Carol Welsh

—Doug Macdonald

“We celebrated my mom's 85th birthday over the weekend. We are enormously blessed that she’s feeling so well lately; she says she feels better than she has in nearly 15 years. Much of that is due to your help—your massages have helped her immensely, and, from you, she has learned that investing time in her own wellness is a gift not only to herself, but to those who love her.”

—Marsha Weinstein

“I go to Cory because she knows exactly how to locate my body aches and treat them. Her knowledge of the body is impressive and her vigorous massage is always extremely effective but never painful.
She feels my limits and this gives me great comfort. Cory also explains what long term conditioning I can do to prevent a re-occurrence of my aches.”

—Mitchel Khosrova

“Since I moved here eight years ago I have been looking for a truly wonderful massage therapist. I've had many many many massages in my life and I am very particular. Cory's massages are beyond fantastic. She is able to get deep without hurting me. By my second massage with her I felt like her hands already knew my body and she was able to get right to the heart of my issues. She is a truly gifted practitioner. All I can say is give her a try and find out for yourself!”

—Tyler Malik
