What patrons say
The office infection prevention measures are awesome. The ventilation, air filtration and cleaning protocols give me confidence I will not leave with an illness. Not just Covid, but also the flu or a cold. The hydraulic table, with a luxurious headed pad under you, allows Aera to get exactly the needed pressure and angle on a stubborn spot.
Neurotypicals NEVER notice all the little things that often deeply upset or unsettle me, even after I point them out over and over, but Aera thought of most of them BEFORE I DID (it was incredible) and mitigated them on their own, with only brief check ins as needed to determine which sensory things would feel good/ bad for me.
Aera was absolutely fabulous! They were really good about consent, going at a pace that worked for me, and managing my physical needs and holding space for psych disability issues.
Aera is an amazing massage therapist. After many years of receiving massages from others, I will not be able to settle for anyone else. Thanks to Aera’s light touch style massage I go home both much more relaxed and also not in pain from being “beaten up” by my LMT.
Hi y’all, autistic person here with cPTSD and major sensory sensitivities. I’ve been a client of Aera’s several times and they were absolutely AMAZING.
