I used the online booking experience which was super easy in order to get an appointment the next day. I requested the first available massage therapist because my usual therapist Collette was not available. Bianca was terrific. Usually you think Im doing first available that person might not be as great but I had a wonderful massage and a easy booking experience.

I started going to Proactive Massage & Bodywork a little over two years ago. I started going just here and there to start with but in the last few months I became a member and have been going once a month to improve my overall health and battle anxiety, depression, and stress. Kaylee has been my girl since I started and from the moment we met she has been so kind, compassionate, friendly, warm, and understanding. She is an amazing therapist and has worked with me to help create a great maintenance plan. I also love the front staff and how friendly they are, professional, and the communication and customer service is amazing always. I love going here and highly recommend.

First time! Was recommended too! and massage began 10 minutes late, paper work, etc. only got a 50 min massage and my legs were not done in front or back. Was told it was a “time” thing? She was very friendly and polite. Will give it another try with a different Masusse and hope to get a relaxing FULL massage for 60 min.

This was such a welcoming, calming environment. Rachel was great - she asked what I hoped to get out of the massage and focused on pain relief/relaxation like I had requested, made sure I was comfortable throughout the massage, and give me tips on how to maintain my health after the massage. Awesome overall experience!

On a whim, I decided to try to make an appointment for this afternoon because i was having lots of pain in my hip and leg. I had a custom massage to work out the soreness and felt so much better afterwards. I highly recommend Proactive.

I experienced the best massage I have ever had. With ongoing neck and lower back problems over many years, I became accustomed to living with the aches and pains associated with these issues. Proactive, and most importantly, my therapist, Rachel, was able to focus in on these areas and truly work to relieve the suffering. I am looking forward to my next appointment, and will now consider Proactive Massage & Bodywork my new and favorite self pampering reward! Thanks for allowing me to experience a bit of heaven. See you soon.

After losing insurance to cover physical therapy for a shoulder surgery, I sought medical/therapeutic massage while doing PT at home. Rachel England was highly recommended by my therapist and has been amazing in helping with my recovery. I have had 3 @ 1 hour sessions with her in 5 weeks and have noticed a huge difference in my before/after each time and from session to session. The membership plan also helps drop the per visit price which helps as I am paying out of my own pocket.Highly recommend Rachel!!! Im sure the other therapists do just as great of a job as well!

I love the Covid precautions they are taking. I felt very comfortable with the sanitation they provide. I had my massage with Collette and she is amazing. She really listens to the body and works on what you need. I was only in the state for a short amount of time but I saw her three times because she is just that good. I highly recommend her services.

Review №19

I loved the massage & so informative. Carrie listened to my needs & gave instruction on how to keep a certain muscle loose which i had no idea that muscle nor how it effects everything else. The products she used I bought & the staff took the time to tell me about the products. Best sleep Ive had in months from the results of the massage & the products. I will definitely tell others. Thank you so much!

Ashley did a phenomenal job. I don’t think my body, especially my back and shoulder has ever felt this relaxed. I know I was super tensed, lol. Thank you for communicating with me in a different way due to me being hard of hearing. Looking forward to another session.

I had a great experience here - from the booking process, to checking-in, to the massage! Rachel was kind, professional and very knowledgeable when it came to my prenatal massage. She listened and focused on my areas of concern during our session and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. The salon was clean and the staff were very good about taking measures to screen clients for illness and maintain a safe environment for everyone.

This was my first time meeting Travis, and he was an excellent therapist. I couldnt have asked for a more understanding person for my massage needs, especially in this day in time with the Pandemic.

This was an amazing experience. The first time I have ever done a massage. It did wonders for my calf muscles and shoulders. My legs havent felt so good in a few years.

Review №38

I went to get a massage because I thought I had pulled a muscle but I was not really sure what was wrong. I scheduled an appointment with Carrie because my nephew told me it was the best massage he’d ever had! High praise, indeed! And, after my hour massage, I am inclined to agree!The facility was small, but clean. The decor was up-to-date and soothing. The staff I interacted with were professional and friendly, and able to answer questions. Carrie took the time to listen to my needs, and then suggested how to approach my issue. A good massage is both an art and a science and she was quite skilled in both aspects. She knew where to apply pressure and always made sure that I was comfortable.Wow! I already made another appointment!

While Ive only visited a few times since I moved into the area, this is definitely my go-to place for a massage. I have a lot of back issues because of my job and they have made me feel amazing every time. Ive had sessions with Carrie and Elizabeth and both did an amazing job and were very professional. Everyone Ive talked to there has been helpful and polite. I havent had any problems with any aspect of Proactive Massage.

I loved everything about proactive massage!!! I’ve been trying to find someone closer to where I live as my prior massage therapist moved further out of town. Kevin truly has great skill and gift of massage therapy and was very helpful in resolving much of my stress and shoulders and back! I have found a new place to go to that is close by, friendly, thorough, and professional!

I rated it a 10 because I get the best treatment from the best professionals in Virginia. The staff does an excellent job of treating my aches and pains while also being professional, friendly and concerned about my well being.

This place is a gem! They are among the kindest people I know. Each massage therapist offers a healing message - hot stone massages with Rachel are my favorite!! They love what they do and it shows in their work.

Review №54

Wish I could give 0 stars. It was not a massage, it was 90 min of oil rubbing. I have never had anybody use that much oil for a massage! Jacob asked about my problem areas so i told him. He assured me to focus on them, but he didn’t even touch the area. Not even with a finger tip. At least my husband enjoyed his part of the couples massage! Because I sure didnt. Over $200 wasted! Would never recommend this place to anyone.Not sure why I can’t respond to the owner, but I did not get any voicemail. And I’m not sure how you would make it right, considering my experience, so I would never come back.

Review №55

I had the therapeutic massage (1 hr) with Carrie, which comes as a discount for first time clients. Carrie addressed all of the problem areas we discussed, she took care of the knots in my shoulders and the tension in my neck. While I was on my back, she gave me a heated neck pillow with herbs. I have never had that with a massage before, and it made a big difference in comfort. I was also able to purchase one to take home. It is great for relaxing while watching t.v.

I had a Great experience with Proactive Massage & Bodywork and I enjoyed every moment of it. Everybody is very kind and accommodating. My therapist Kaylee sees to it that you get what you need and she is very good in doing her job. I felt that I am a new man after an hour of massage therapy. I am happy that I chose this place. I will be back for more.

Having painful arthritis issue. She asks questions so as to understand how to target my massage before she proceeds. Her touch locates tight mucles which ultimately gives relief. Plus with her background as a currently certified fitness trainer she is spot on when it comes to recommending exercises specific to you.

My massage was with Carrie Templeman. Im so happy I found this massage spa. Soothing atmosphere, convenient location with parking. And Carrie is wonderful, worked on some areas where Ive had muscle spasms. She got in there and spent time where I needed it and I feel so much better. Im a licensed massage therapist, so I am picky!! Thanks Carrie and Proactive!

I had massage therapy for the first time just this year, and I discovered what a wonderful, nurturing, even spiritual experience Healing Connections provides. I have since had 19 appointments with Rachel, who has been very thorough and effective in helping me with lower back pain. She is very dedicated to her profession, always addressing my individual needs. In addition, she gives me useful tips and exercises for the time between sessions. The truth is, even I didnt have any lower back issues, I would still come to the amazing Rachel for the great sense of well-being she gives me. She is truly a blessing!

Amazing! Kaylee (hope I spelled that right) was awesome! I just left and I feel like a whole new person! I will be back. The service is the best Ive ever had and, unlike some Ive been to, she didnt short change me on time. She was attentive to my needs. The front desk personnel were also very kind helping me pick out an essential oil and answering my questions thoroughly. I cant recommend this place enough.

Wife and I were both having some movement difficulties so we booked an individual session with Collette. She did a wonderful job helping to relieve the tightness I had in my lower back and my core. My wife sought relief from very tender neck and lack of shoulder movement. By the end of her session Collette had manipulated muscle to give my wife instant relief. Along the way she was most helpful for both of us to give ideas on how to continue to keep these muscles stretched out and flexible. Very valuable information that we both put into practice the very next day and will continue to until our next visit. Oh yes, there will be many more next visit. Proactive is the best!A very satisfied customer, George Gagnon

Pamela Heavner has been my friend and massage therapist for many years. Upon your first visit with Pamela, you will immediately know she was called to heal. She has powerful hand movements that really give a deep and penetrating massage, so relaxing and healing. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about her work and incorporates it into her massages. After that first visit, you will be hooked on Pamela.
