Broke the pain cycle!
L.V. says
Please let HOPE know that she broke my pain cycle. I did the exercises she recommended when I woke up this morning with a little tightness from the arthritis and injury. The rotating, tennis ball trick & leg bending to my chest made me loose as a goose and pain free for the rest of the day-amazing; of course the massage helped immensely to relieve my pain. The SI Joints that she massaged were indeed the major source of my back problem. I’ve been out and about all day and feeling pretty flexible with no more pain!-Amen. Applause for your great work Hope!!!!! I’ll try not to do heavy gardening until I learn some back strengthening exercises and see the physical therapist (smile).
AMY'S massages helped release all my neck and lower back tension when my husband was in Iraq for a year-I never would have managed the stress without her touch and compassion.
NANETTE works her magic with hands and heart wide open. When she is finished you are in a state of grace.
Hats off to everyone for your professionalism, skill, patience and magic hands! You’ve made a world of difference in my life!
Great massages, great people

Really, you can not ask for more talented massage therapists and better massages than at Healthy By Intention. I have had massages at some well-known spas in other parts of the U.S. and overseas, and the folks at Healthy By Intention are right up there at the very top. Whether it is for a problem area or general relaxation, you will find serious professional help. The atmosphere is very calming, but it is the people who are the real gift -- kind, caring and very talented. What more can you ask! I have sent family members and friends and all have been grateful for the referrals.
Always a good massage

I have been a client of HBI for nearly 2 years. I have MS and it has helped me combat the Fibromyalgia and muscle spasms that I often get with this disease. The staff is incredibly kind and and wanting to make you feel better !
THIS IS THE WARM FUZZY PLACE you want to fall into when you can't take it anymore.
Always a good idea!

My husband and I have been regulars here for years. We have never had a bad massage, although we often claim to have had our 'best' massage too many times to count! I would not hesitate to have a massage with any therapist here; they are all good with their own special 'touches.' (No, I'm not getting paid to write this, but we do buy packages.

Healthy by Intention has certainly offered 'perfect' services to my husband and myself. Amy and Rick, the massage therapists we have seen, are professional, caring, thorough and very skilled. At one point I was regularly going to physical therapy for a hamstring injury. After a session with Amy, the physical therapist was so impressed with the healing I had experienced, he wanted a card so he could refer patients!
In addition, they have done a great job in making the services accessible. I particularly like the weekly e-mail schedules showing therapist availability.
Thanks for your great work, friends.
THE BEST!!

I felt all tied up in knots so I went for the 90 minute massage. Aaaahhhh, how lovely it was. My experience was very pleasant and soothing. I was very comfortable, the room was clean, the soundtrack used was relaxing. Rick is very skilled and professional. I felt wonderful for days and slept like a baby as well for a couple of nights.

I've never been disappointed with any of the massages I've received at Healthy by Intention. Everyone is so nice and considerate. Its a very relaxing and calming place.
The massage with Nanette was terrific-she really has magical hands that connect and understand what you need. I am feeling better.
You are all a wonderful group of people and I am so happy to have found a place where it is joyful, soulful and just perfect. Both Amy and Nanette do superb body work, each with their special gifts.
Keep up the good work.

Realized unexpected benefits:
"This past year, I have had cancer treatment and because of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery, I have been tired. It’s not a normal tiredness. After a thai yoga massage session with Amy, I had energy for days. My body felt rejuvenated, relaxed, refreshed and energized."

"You've found the right place" is exactly true! The website looks great! I've been meaning to email you and didn't really want to overwhelm you with more emails. The entire office looks great after all the painting and remodeling. I've been to most of the rooms for a massage or have taken a look into them. Every time I walk into one I feel "transported" into a different place. Each one is a place that really makes me feel that I've "found the right place."
Sincerely, M.R.
Moved to California from Maryland:
"I have an appt at Eliz Arden next Sat. for a hot stone massage, which I haven't done before, but in general I haven't found anyone/anything here comparable to New Health" (Healthy By Intention) and your Instant Gift Certificates are wonderful."

"Cathy was right! Rick is great. He relieved my pain using trigger point therapy and taught me a lot about how to minimize the discomfort. All your therapists are wonderful. I'll be back and will tell everyone I know about Healthy By Intention."

Missing paper reappears ...
"I couldn't find a very important paper. After looking everywhere for hours, I gave up in despair and went to Healthy By Intention for my massage. 20 minutes into the session, an image of where the paper was flew into my mind. When I got home, there it was. Phew. Getting out of my own way is challenging. Massage makes everything much better. Thank you!"

HEALTHY BY INTENTION INPUT:
From the inside:
"I got to work with both Rick and Roberta today, and I was just thinking what a great team we have. So many people tell me (and I'm sure they tell you too) how unique we are, and how much more "seriously" they take our work than the average spa type shop. We have an atmosphere of, and a reputation for genuine, clinical work."
Rachel
"I had to let you know how much & how often [....'s] wife RAVES about your work & the difference it has made. Every time I call she repeats how thankful they are to have found HBI/you."
From Cathy to Rick - 8/07
Finding the 'right' practitioner for you:
"It can be hard to change therapists, especially after you've been working with the same one for years. Sometimes, life presents us with challenges we'd rather not tackle. One of the great things about HBI (Healthy By intention) is that we have no prima donna's here - the client's best interest is the only important thing. What's even nicer about this environment is that clients may see different therapists, depending on what type of work they want on any given day, without needing to be concerned about 'hurting anyone's feelings'. It's only about what the client needs. Everyone at HBI honors and respects that process. We encourage you to try several of our talented therapists -- this will allow you to have more experience with different styles of massage and more choices in re days/times of your appointments. Making it easy and comfortable for people to get more of what they need is one of the ways we "Take The Edges Off Daily Living."
