I am an athlete and Manee knows exactly how much pressure to use and can find trouble spots without my telling her anything. In addition, she is kind, polite, and funny! In the winter, the tables heat up, adding to the experience. I am a "forever customer" for sure! I highly recommend them to the valley." -Mary
