I had a bike accident separating my shoulder. I saw Chara weekly (after wearing a brace for two weeks) and attribute my speedy and total recovery to her. I’m convinced it would have taken months instead of weeks to heal without her gentle expertise. She encouraged me to stretch which was extremely beneficial. 
   I would highly recommend her for lower back issues as well. I injured mine so bad I could hardly walk but with her healing hands combined with chiropractic I am fully functional and pain free!

When I first started going to Chara for massage therapy (therapy in every sense of the word) it was through a chiropractors office.  I had been trying Physical Therapy, other massage therapists, various chiropractors, steroid shots and many different types of doctor prescribed medications. I was at the point were I'd lay on floor for relief then couldn't get up, couldn't hold my baby, strained my marriage, missed so many work days from being in unbearable pain that I ran out of paid sick days. Doctors were saying the only way I was going to be out of pain again would be back surgery from slipped disc and degenerative discs. Nothing started to bring long term relief until I was getting treatments from Chara!  At first I was waiting for the other shoe to drop since it had on everything else I'd tried.  However, I now owe my quality of life to her!  Chara is so knowledgeable about the human body and how to spot treat what is ailing you.  I can not only hold my child who is now 60ish pounds, strength train at the gym, and lift boxes/furniture when we moved to a new house.  I'm also not taking any expensive/toxic pills.  I deal with a lot of stress which tends to manifest in my neck and shoulders through out my whole life.  Since the therapy treatments from Chara I can get my body back to functioning in daily life.  I've had smaller things come up as well that are still restricting/painful.  Some examples are a muscle around my elbow that wasn't allowing me to even pick up a cup, kinked neck, tight muscle in knee that caused immobility. I have come to learn that when these problems come up all I have to do is tell her about it and she'll get me back to normal within the hour!!!  Quality of life is priceless!  Thank you Chara for giving me mine!!!  I would highly recommend her to my closest friend and family!  After all, Chara saved me from having to go through surgery!

I've been seeing Chara for 4 years now and I swear she knows my musculature and pains better than I do. I sometimes don't tell her where I'm hurting and just wait for her to find it. Chara is amazing. I see Chara for 90 minutes every month and it's the best investment in myself that I do. I highly recommend Chara as an excellent therapist.

Chara is absolutely amazing! I will happily & proudly recommend her to anyone struggling to find relief. I was experiencing bouts of sharp, intermittent & immobilizing pain in my lower back. Felt like something was pinching/squeezing my back like closing an accordion. I (foolishly) suffered for a couple days before going to see the nurse at work. Some topical gel   a muscle relaxer, pain relievers & rest were the recommended course of action for a couple more days(while I waited with fingers crossed). This brought me temporary/minimal relief, and I still really wasn’t comfortable. Frustrated & still in pain, I went to see Chara, described the pain and showed her where it hurt. She was able to provide me with instruction & demonstration of (what she described as) some very basic stretching techniques. This made all the difference in the world, in a matter of minutes! Of course, I understand I have some ways to go before getting back to 100%, but it really feels like Chara gave me the use of my back again, and boy did I miss it. Why did I suffer for days before seeing Chara!? I have no clue, but now I know better! If your struggling like I was; if you’re living in constant fear that the next pain episode will stop you in your tracks and pull you to your knees, like me; if your missing out on doing the things you like to do because the pain is too much and you don’t want to burden your loved ones; go see Chara today. She’s calming, compassionate, knowledgeable and just really awesome. I’m certainly going to continue with what she’s shown me, and I’ll be back to learn more. She’ll be my first stop if I’m ever again experiencing pain like that. I really need to make an appointment to see her for massage therapy, to try to avoid putting myself in that type of pain again. I can only imagine how glorious an experience that’ll be. Thank you Chara!
