Peter Jones, real estate appraiser

"I first came to Relax! Massage Therapy due to the high stress from my job and anxiety in my life. I also wanted to reward myself for working out at the gym. After my first massage, I knew I had found what I was looking for--a place to de-stress, relax, and feel rejuvenated. I have been getting weekly massages for over four years now and it has resulted in higher productivity at work, reduced anxiety and a greater sense of well-being. Thank you, Gretchen!!"

"Dr. Moffett, D.O.M, referred me to Relax! Massage Therapy. Computer mouse overuse and bad ergonomics at work had provoked agonizing pain in my right shoulder and arm. Although the therapeutic massage wasn’t exactly fun, Gretchen knew what she was doing and I felt a difference after the first treatment. I received six treatments, each within 3-4 days of the next, and by the last one I was pain-free. I have been pain-free ever since, and now I receive regular bodywork for the pleasure, not the pain!"

"I’ve been getting massages for years, and came to Relax! Massage Therapy after trying several other massage therapists in Wilmington. Since finding Gretchen, I haven’t been anywhere else! She gives the best massages I have ever received. The important thing, though, is that she has been a source of support as I have struggled through the death of my husband. She has helped me survive an extremely difficult time, and I don’t know what I would’ve done without my weekly massages to get me through this. I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and am so grateful for her love and support."

"About a year ago, I added regular massages with Gretchen to my calendar hoping they would help relieve some of the pressures of a busy work and family life with three children under the age of 7. At each session, Gretchen asks questions and listens carefully to what’s going on in my life and with my body so she can address problem areas with the right combination of massage techniques. As a result, I’m more focused at work, my concentration is improved, and I’ve got more energy for my family. Speaking of family, I booked a beach weekend get-away with my wife as a Valentine’s Day gift. As an additional surprise, Gretchen agreed to travel to our hotel with her massage table to give us a couple’s massage and show me massage techniques to help my wife relax. My wife loved it!"

"I’m a stay-at-home mom with two young children, a five-year-old and a one-year-old. I put everything into making my kids’ days comfortable, fun, and enriching, so it was devastating to me when I started suffering from debilitating tension headaches and dizziness that the doctors couldn’t diagnose. Instead of being able to play with my children, I was forced take pain relievers and lie quietly on heating pads to get some relief. Someone suggested trying massage therapy, and I found Gretchen. It’s like she can read my body with her hands! After my first massage with Gretchen, the symptoms subsided and now, after regular massage treatments, they’re almost gone. An added bonus for me is that Gretchen is such a good soul with a wonderful, positive outlook on life—she always gives a hundred percent. Thanks to her 100 percent, I’m back to giving my all to my two kids, just as it should be."
