Amazing! Andrea is always profession but also very thoughtful and caring. I have seen many massage therapists in the past but honestly she is by far superior in every way. She has an amazing gift that I am thankful to be part of.
I received a heavenly 60 minute massage with Holly. She is very good at making sure you are comfortable, relaxed, and I loved the fact that she made sure I took a few deep inhales and exhales. Really helps the body relax. The pressure throughout the massage was perfect, and she made sure to check in with me as to what I prefer. I also loved the fact that I could pick the massage oil I wanted, the place was very clean and the music was great. I will definitely go back to Holly for a massage, and recommend you do too!
I have been a client with Andrea for years now and even if my schedule doesn't allow me to see her as often as I would like, when I can I'm never disappointed by the level of expertise she provides through her care. She has been following me for chronic hip pain and can always pinpoint the point of origin of my pain and alleviate it. That and her contagious energy and kindness, you cannot go wrong with her if you're looking for a massage therapist!
Andrea is amazing!! I first saw Andrea 5 years ago when I was pregnant and I continue to see her today. She is by far the BEST massage therapist there is. Her positive and calm personality are very comforting. She really listens to you as to what your needs are/what is bothering you, so as to understand how she can help you.
AND she has these amazing hands that can smooth out the worst tension and relax even the tightest muscles all the while causing complete and total relaxation. My review doesn’t do her Justice! I wish there was an option for 10 stars. As well, I wish she was a Doula when I was pregnant, I can’t think of a better person to be helping you through one of the most difficult things a woman can endure. Second to none, the best!
Review for Andrea Sanders, RMT and Labour Support:
Working with Andrea was one of the best decisions I could have made for my prenatal, labour and postpartum journey. I wasn’t originally planning on having a labour support person on my birth team, but Andrea followed me as a massage client through my pregnancy and quickly became a perfect fit. She did an incredible job of preparing us for birth, and after our second home visit, I remember saying to my husband “I never thought I’d say this, but I’m actually looking forward to labour!”. With a perfect balance of empowering education on the realities of childbirth and creative exercises to help us explore our fears and expectations, she helped us to develop a whole new perspective delivery and postpartum.
From the moment I went into labour, Andrea was by my side making sure that I had everything I needed. I was able to surrender to the process knowing that I had someone with the skills and knowledge to guide me through childbirth while taking care of my physical and emotional needs. Although my (very long) labour didn’t end up the way I had envisioned, looking back on the day, it was a beautiful experience thanks to the calm, relaxing and positive environment Andrea created for me. She was very intuitive in reading what I needed, whether it was massage, water or just a little encouragement. When it came to making tough decisions, she did an amazing job of keeping me calm and helping me talk through what I needed. She supported us through postpartum recovery, and is still an important part of our ever changing family.
Birth photography was new to me, and I am so glad that it was an option for us! Andrea captured some of the most beautiful moments that would have otherwise gotten lost in the excitement and chaos of bringing our baby earthside. I must have looked through the photos a hundred times by now, and every time brings up a new emotion or memory. I’m so grateful to have the pictures to look back on for years to come.
I can’t imagine my birth journey without Andrea, and I look forward to having her on my birth team again for baby #2!
