As a patient who has suffered for 15 years due to a herniated disc in my neck, I have finally found relief with massage therapy. Orianna at In Touch is the BEST! I have gone to chiropractors for many years and they did help somewhat but I would still have pain down my neck and into my shoulders. Orianna has a great sense of how to treat the pain properly to get maximum results. If anyone tells me that they are having pain issues I would highly recommend massage therapy with Orianna.

Having once worked in a spa I have had the pleasure and opportunity to experience a variety of different massage techniques from many different massage therapiest. each was aimed at overall relaxation and stress alleviation. I am an individual that tends to carry a lot of stress in the muscles of my body, and as a result I often experience back pain.

After a recent bought of back pain I decided to seek treatment from Orianna. The therapeutic value of her results based massage was outstanding and was more than successful in relieving the tension in my back. I would like to take this opportunity to express my utmost confidence in Orianna's service and the satisfaction I know she will bring to her clients.

Lydia, I can't thank you enough for the great massage. I really needed it. You had some great long strokes on my back that really felt good and seemed to work out a lot of knots.

It was so nice, when I left your place and went home, I pulled in my driveway, and one of my best friends drove right in behind me. She surprised me with a vanilla chai from DD (yum) and a basket full of goodies to make me feel better since she knew I was feeling a bit down. Your nice pampering treatment paved the way for more nice things to come. It turned out to be a very nice day for me. Eventually, I needed up cleaning the house, but it was nice to have those stress relieving breaks first.

I hope to see you again soon.

I have been going to InTouch for massage therapy for several years. They has eased my chronic hip pain as well as treating a recent knee injury.Their warm and friendly care, extensive knowledge and relaxing treatment rooms melt away the aches and pains and stresses of everyday life. Give yourself or someone you love the gift of massage therapy.

In 1998 I had a cervical fusion, levels 4,5 and 6. Subsequently after healing, I had very severe pain in my neck and shoulders, which radiated into my upper back and left arm. I was in constant pain and the affected muscles were so tight that one physician upon examining my neck stated, "Those aren't muscles, they're bone." X-rays revealed they were indeed muscles.

In order to find some relief from the discomfort I was sent to a physical therapist. The therapy lasted six months, but within hours of leaving each session I was in pain again. I then went to a doctor that specialized in pain remedies. I received lidocaine injections in the area that I had surgery and wore a patch that distributed a type of percoset into my bloodstream. After several weekly visits the pain had subsided but I was unable to function normally because I was on painkillers. On one visit the doctor asked how I was feeling and I replied that the pain was better, but when could I stop taking the drugs? He replied that the only way to relieve the pain would be to continue to use the pain killer and that I would always have to use them. I did not want to be addicted to pain medication so that was the last time I went to that doctor.

I continued to suffer for several years until a friend suggested I go to a massage therapist named Lydia Jandreau, at Intouch Wellness. I was skeptical for I had seen several masseuses and although it always felt good, I never got pain relief. My friend had a painful injury and claimed that Lydia had really helped. I made an appointment and discussed my surgery with Lydia , and she explained how she thought she could help. That was more than two years ago and since then I have an appointment with Lydia every week. Her deep tissue massage relieves my pain as well as allowing me to be much more flexible than I had been. I will always have pain but Lydia 's treatments really lessen my discomfort. I have recommended her to several of my friends.

I have been a client of Lydia's for eight years.

I have found that regular deep tissue massage is an essential component of maintaining good health. When I first began seeing Lydia, I drove a delivery truck and put great physical stress on my body. I am now a high school teacher and my body often feels the physical affects of emotional stress. In both careers, my physical and emotional well being has been assisted through monthly visits to In Touch.

I recently took 6 months away from any type of massage therapy and found that accumulated stress eventually returned to cause the back pain that brought me to see Lydia. Although I practice yoga and lead a healthy lifestyle, I find there is no replacement for the direct attention received by the body through a skilled massage therapist.

I have been a client of In Touch for over 3 years. I have received massage from Lydia during those years. She is very understanding, gentle and compassionate.

She has taken the time to understand my illness and uses her massage knowledge to help me, we work together as a team on my health. I look forward to my visits with Lydia for a massage and inspiration. I also enjoy the atmosphere of the office and some of the additional health products she sells. She is very accommodating with her schedule and my needs.

She understands the mind body connection. I can relax and let the worries of the day be massaged away when I visit Lydia. I would highly recommend her services and In Touch to anyone who is looking for alternative methods to stress release, wellness, and positive health healing.
