METTA - Kind Words (Reviews)
In the spirit of the word metta — loving-kindness, benevolence, and well-wishing, I most humbly share these testimonials from my clients in hopes that it will provide you with a better understanding of what I offer.
Metta is a universal love, an all-embracing love. I like to think of metta as the simple act of well-wishing.
Pick some phrases that resonate with you: may I be peaceful; may you be free from suffering; may all beings be safe and happy.
I love the effect that switching to metta has. All judgment dissolves.
I practice metta by just looking at a person and silently saying, "may you be peaceful." When I do, I feel genuine love for strangers. I see that we share this life with its joys and its sorrows, and we share this planet with its beauty and its troubles. The best way to cultivate metta is to recognize that all beings - including those who we dislike or disagree with - want to feel whole

Deborah is amazing. Her place is so zen and a great relaxing atmosphere. Professional, compassionate, thorough and skilled. I love receiving 2 hour and 3 hour sessions from her. She helps balance out my body and remove tightness and knots in my body. Love the sound baths they are amazing and send me to a deep therapeutic state of relaxation. Julie Hollwedel

Loved not being on the ground. With my arthritis getting up and down is painful. Also the chair added a weightless feature to the experience I had never had before. Very friendly and soothing. Felt like a new person afterwards. Gena Palacios

If you haven't tried sound bathing you're missing out. I took my mom on a Friday night to a one hour group session. It was amazing! Beautiful sound created the most relaxing hour. Just do it! There are zero gravity loungers and yoga mats which was wonderful, I was worried about my 75 year old mom getting onto a yoga mat, but the loungers were perfect. I can't recommend Metta enough. I hope to get back for a Thai massage when I'm back in the area again. Joanna Graves

Deborah is the most thorough massage therapist I have ever met. She is very knowledgeable and genuinely cares about your health. She makes sure you are comfortable at all times. I have been raving about her to others ever since my first visit several months ago. I am so happy that a friend of mine recommended her to me. If you’re hesitating about whether or not to book a session with Deborah, do it and you won’t regret it! Caitlyn Diego

This type of massage is different from the norm and hones in on target muscle groups to provide effective results. Deborah is wonderful and truly cares for her client's well-being. I highly recommend her. Amy Ritchhart

Just had a WONDERFUL experience here. I chose the Thai body massage but after a thorough discussion it was decided I would have the Thai clinical experience and it was perfection. She is new to Ocala and has a very clean quiet studio. She is offering 50% off right now. Yogis, her studio is gorgeous and I saw some amazing singing bowls that I can not wait to experience!!!!

The best massage I had years. Certainly the best massage I have ever had in the Ocala area. Deborah is very skilled and takes the time to talk to you. She is extremely educated in her profession and it shows through her first visit questionaire and right through the entire massage. John Friedhof

Deborah is absolutely amazing at what she does. I found myself spending too much money on chiropractic care and massages that weren’t giving me any relief. Thai bodywork with Deborah removed knots and strains and pains that I had been living with for a good year and couldn’t get relief from. She did this in only one session!! I look forward to having regular maintenance with Deborah and highly recommend her services. Beyond amazing. Michelle Centers

There is a hidden treasure in New Goshen folks!! Body N Soul Massage!! I just had what could possibly be the best massage EVER! I've had a LOT of stress lately. Mostly I put on myself, but some out of my control. I talked to my husband into taking Friday and today off with me as "mental health" (vacation) days so I could re-boot myself. I had an hour deep tissue massage and added on a 30 minute foot massage. It was GLORIOUS!! Check her out!! You won't regret it!!

Getting a massage is a special treat for me. Not only does it refresh my body, but it also refreshes my mind. I love getting them several times a year. When my massage therapist of many years left the business, I wondered if I could find a comparable therapist. I tried many people, but couldn’t find one to come up to the level I was used to, until I found Deborah Shahadey. She is wonderful! She will customize your massage to work on any problem areas you have, will make sure her pressure is not too hard or too soft for what you like, and relaxes you with soothing music. I give her a “10” for the expert she is. Susan F.

Deborah is an Amazing massage therapist. She has worked on me for several years and has gifted hands. Each time I have had a massage with her, it always seems like the first time because she is in tune with the body and customizes the massage based on what is going on with the body. Now my boyfriend is a believer and will only see Deborah too! S.H.

Deborah is excellent, I had a wonderful experience! I can say that it was one of the best and most effective massages ever. She constantly made sure that I was comfortable with the style of the massage (Thai massage) and the pressure. I'll definitely recommend her!!! Y.B.

I love this place. As both a runner and a chronic round-shouldered, desk-job huncher, I get painful knots everywhere. My shoulders and legs are a nightmare. Deborah is super nice and AMAZING at getting every single one of those knots out. I highly recommend her. I don’t regularly get massages (not that I wouldn’t like to!), usually just when I find a convenient deal or groupon. But this place I have gone back to again and again without a deal because it is that good. I can’t recommend Body N Soul Massage enough. Stephanie O.

This high quality, no frills place is one that I was introduced with via a gift certificate from a family member. That was about a year ago and I come back monthly now. She does right by the customer, is a very high quality therapist, and offers massages custom tailored to your body’s needs that day. Shawn S.

I saw Deborah today! How good is Deborah? This is how good…After my massage, I came back home to my bedridden flu family AND a new puppy who pooped in her crate. Didn’t faze me. Deborah is SOOOO good. Whitney H.

I like to play hard! Sometimes that comes with physical effects on my body. To relieve myself from physical soreness, stress or just to pamper myself I go straight to Body N Soul Massage. I have never had a more educated, relaxing and fulfilling massage as I have here. Truly, she loves what she does and it shows. If you need a massage you need to go here! Elizabeth S.

I have been going to Deborah at Body N Soul Massage for 4 years. I have a lower back problem where I am always in some degree of pain. Deborah’s deep tissue work and now her Thai massage along with her dedication to keeping me healthy has paid off. Not only do I go mostly once a week, but she gave me an at-home plan to help with keeping my muscles loose and flexible. I can say, without any hesitation, that Deborah is the best massage therapist I have ever been to. That would include about 7 therapists over 20 year time frame. No one else works on my body now but Deborah – EVER! Roger M.

I am a long time customer of Body N Soul Massage and have been very satisfied over the years with the quality of the massage Deborah provides. She is receptive to one’s individual needs and goes one step beyond by providing customized essential oil blends and many massage options, such as hot rock massage, etc. What is even better is that she is a neighborhood business, so, it enables me to support the local economy which is very important to me. I highly recommend Body N Soul Massage! Kim G.

I decided at the last minute I needed and deserved a massage and was able to get in. Lucky, lucky me! I’ve had neck and back pain for the last few months and after just this one session, I feel better than I have in a LONG time! Deborah really listened to what my needs were and my massage was exactly what I needed.

Deborah’s fingers aren’t just nimble or ridiculously strong. They are SMART. They can unearth the power of muscles that you barely remember exist, and with a single stroke or movement, she pinpoints exactly where the bottleneck is. She is by far the most nuanced and detail-oriented massage therapist I’ve had. She’s also very attentive and committed to refining her techniques on you with every session. I don’t think you could find a more multi-talented set of fingers on a more personable girl anywhere. Deborah is cathartic!! Greg R.

I am certain that Deborah would score higher than any doctor in an anatomy quiz. In addition to having a think outside the box style of solving aches and pains, Deborah is also exceptional at aromatherapy. I had a massage today and I feel and smell great. Erin K.

Deborah Shahadey is the best there is. Her hands are strong and her demeanor is professional. She continues to learn in her profession. I went to resolve issues with repetitive stress that caused pain throughout my back, arms and shoulders. We are working on that still - only because I cannot quit my job or stop playing on the computer. Massage/Deborah is also my drug of choice. I have too long to work before retirement to take medication for the pain I was having -so I decided that massage was the route to relief. It has helped immensely. Katie M.

Deborah is a master of massage. I went to Body N Soul Massage as I had a gift certificate that was expiring so I finally made an appointment. I mentioned having chronic headaches for several months without anticipating relief by massage as Deborah asked about any issues, etc. After one session – no more headaches. I was not expecting that as I have had massages for years by pros and usually just had a pleasant experience or temporary relief. Deborah is personable and professional in addition to being an outstanding massage therapist. A session will be worth the time and money you spend. Jan P.

Let's see. If I had to describe a little bit of Heaven here on earth, in only 4 words, oh that's easy......it would be "Body N Soul Massage". Let me elaborate just a bit. Deborah has it all together. She has created a very pleasant ambiance with soft, relaxing music, comfortable massage table, peaceful environment, and very pleasant smells. And that is just the start. Deborah's massages are truly magnificent. And, she discusses before she starts exactly what you are looking for as part of her massage routine. She is very open to suggestions as to intensity, temperature of the room and table, if you have any trouble spots that need massage work, if you have any specific likes and/or dislikes, etc. She wants it to be the best massage you've ever had. And the massage itself is super. Deborah's techniques are second to none. She is obviously a very well-trained professional. You certainly are, pun intended, in good hands with Deborah. She will not disappoint. T.C.

I have been getting massages with Deborah for a few years and find it a tremendously relaxing experience. I have a lot of stress all day and these massages relieve tension and spasm in key areas. Deborah is a warm, laid back person who is very easy to work with. I highly recommend Deborah! D.L.

Deborah did a fantastic job of working out the knots in my shoulders from my stressful desk job. She also worked through all my sore muscles from tennis leaving me limber and relaxed. She has a convenient location and very good price. I would recommend her to my friends! Lisa D.

At the risk of making it even more difficult to get in to see Deborah at Body N Soul Massage (who is not surprisingly already in high demand), after experiencing an awakening massage recently from Deborah, I felt obligated to spread the word. I continue to be simply amazed at the skill with which she nimbly maneuvered my muscles, causing tingling in seemingly random parts of my body, and alleviating pain and uncomfortable pressure at the base of my skull that has bothered me for years. I left feeling awake, confused, and inspired; qualities I hope everyone who visits Body N Soul Massage has the joy of experiencing, and no doubt will. I will add that I had seen Deborah a handful of times previously, all with wonderful massages, but I received the most benefit by returning and continuing to communicate my body’s response to previous massages and any recurring concerns. You won’t get the same massage every time, but rather an evolving effort at healing your aches and pains. Deborah puts her energy, knowledge, experience, and mindfulness into delivering relief to her patients. In the humble, yet comfortable and professional space, this is a no frills studio that – thankfully – focuses its energy on the benefits of expert bodywork and healing. Mastery at its best; highly recommend. Pamela L.

No more bargain-hopping for me, going from LMT to LMT depending on where I have a coupon. After two visits, Body N Soul Massage is THE place! Deborah’s techniques were strong and smart. I felt very connected with her hands during my massage; it was clear that she was learning about my body and adjusting her treatment accordingly. I look forward to seeing her again. Michael A.

I had a massage at Body N Soul Massage last Friday and I must say it was THE BEST! Deborah not only got my problem areas worked out but she listened to me complain without interrupting. She had great pressure and showed me some stretches that I didn’t know. And even though she was working my knots out she had a way of making me relax the entire time. She gave me great at-home tips and was very knowledgeable in what areas needed work. Kate H.

I’ve been going to Deborah for 7 years. I’d been to at least 20 massage therapists before I finally found her. Thank God is all I can say!! Not only is she incredibly good at and knowledgeable about what she does, but she has a true healer’s vocation. Her space may not have the corporate snazz that some do, but wonderful, transformative things happen there. I have to say, even if you offered me a free massage with someone else, I wouldn’t waste my time. She’s that good and that’s worth paying for. And her rates are very reasonable – especially for the vast amount of training and experience she has. Kate R.

Dudes don’t get massages. Right? I was VERY reluctant to go see a massage therapist when recommended to do so after I had some serious problems with my IT band while training for a marathon, because… well… dudes don’t get massages… unless they’re, you know, on vacation in Puerto Vallarta or something. I am now a regular customer making referrals to her left and right because she is excellent. Body N Soul Massage is a relaxing and comfortable place, the service is very professional and reasonably priced, and Deborah has done a ton to get me back in running form through deep tissue massage and now Thai massage and at-home therapy “homework” (much more than I can say for the physical “therapist” I’ve seen). Highly, highly recommended! Brian M.

Body N Soul Massage is a relaxing and comfortable place, the service is very professional and reasonably priced, and Deborah has done a ton to get me back in running form through deep tissue massage and now Thai massage and at-home therapy “homework” (much more than I can say for the physical “therapist” I’ve seen). Highly, highly recommended! Brian M.

I had a massage yesterday. My therapist, Deborah, made me feel comfortable from the outset and was able to apply a great amount of pressure. My favorite part was afterward when she told me problem areas where I was carrying tension and suggested certain stretches tailored to me! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for some relaxation by a non-wimp therapist. Keri S.

I had a great massage here from Deborah (and I’m very picky about my massages). I’ll definitely be going back – I’ve already purchased 2 more sessions! Jen M.

A little oasis out in the country just a short drive from town, Body N Soul Massage opens to tranquility and wholeness I’d expect at a resort spa. Deborah continues to find areas of my body that I hadn’t known were stress points and is an encyclopedia of advice on how to improve my health. John K.

I’m a massage therapist, so I know great massage and I just had a divine head, neck, foot session with Deborah. I want more! Stephanie C.

Unfortunately I just found out about this massage location right before I pack and leave town. But as they say, better late than never! Deborah has the magical touch! I’ve been feeling very stiff and tense from long hours in front of the computer so I asked her to focus on the shoulders. Lo and behold, a new me was born when I walked out. She even taught me some stretch exercises to do frequently to help prevent such tensed muscles! I HIGHLY recommend Body N Soul Massage. Yes I was in la la land during the whole process and wish it could last forever! I hope to sneak one more visit before leaving but if I am not able to, I now know where to go get a relaxing massage when I am back in town.

Body N Soul Massage was my first ever massage experience, and whenever I can afford it, I will go back! The therapist was very personable and made my first massage very comfortable. She explained what exactly to expect, and was very receptive to my verbal and non-verbal cues. Very relaxed and calm atmosphere.

This was my first visit to Body N Soul Massage, and it exceeded my expectations. Deborah was friendly and knowledgeable. Especially important, since I was in for a therapeutic massage, was that she took the time to sit with me and discuss my situation. She offered suggestions and choices that were very helpful. The massage itself was wonderful and helpful. I would definitely recommend her! R.P.

I received a gift certificate for an hour long massage for Mother's Day. It took me "a while" to get around to scheduling my time, but I am SO glad that I did. My massage therapist, Deborah, met me in the warm reception area where we discussed my goals, preferences and any injuries. The massage room itself was warm and cozy (even on a very cold day for March!), with a heated table and comfortable sheets. The music was soothing and comforting, too. Deborah's massage was bliss. An hour of melty, companionable, soothing bliss. Thanks to Deborah, I will be asking for Body N Soul Massage gift certificates for any and ALL occasions and sharing them as well. I will DEFINITELY be back! T.R.

Deborah is great! She does exactly what you need; she takes time to interview you to make sure that she knows exactly how massage can help you, and then makes it work. It's a wonderful, relaxing, and extremely helpful experience. I'm a cyclist, and I don't think I have ever felt as comfortable on my bike as I did the day after my first massage. R.K.
March 2016
GREAT massage....she works to work out the knots and does a lot of deep stretches, too. Unlike more traditional massages where my muscles were relaxed, it felt as though my muscles were loosened and my joints/ligaments stretched. Very nice.
March 2016
Best massage in Terre Haute area! I plan on making this a weekly place to visit!! I've never had a Thai massage before and I have to say I prefer it to a deep tissue or Swedish massage. I've been getting massage therapy for years and this place was great. I made an appointment the same day which is huge for me and my busy schedule. March 2016
You will like it if you are looking for a great massage and lots of stretching from head to toe. Be prepared to be moved around quite a bit (start on your front, move to your side, move to your back, then sitting up at the end). The stretching was deep, but not painful. Every muscle in my body was relaxed. after.
March 2016
My girlfriend and I went here to get a massage due to us being sore since we are training for a mini marathon. By far the best massage I have ever had. It's like a combination of massage and stretching to get those muscles nice and loose. The day after I got the massage I felt like a million dollars. I was a little sore from the massage but it was well worth it.
March 2016
Best massage I ever had! And best price as well. The massage lady was so genuinely nice and the massage was awesome. No need to say anything more. I plan on coming back again and again.March 2016
Deborah Shahadey has been my massage therapist for at 13 years and she is the BEST!! Although I have had other massages over the years, Deborah is the only one who is consistently able to locate and alleviate pain. Sometimes I will tell her where it hurts and she will start poking around in other places. I have learned enough not to say "that's not the place," as she always knows where to look. All of a sudden, she will hit a spot that almost makes me jump off the table; it's the actual place where the pain is coming from. Seems like a miracle but it happens over and over. Her extensive knowledge of the body and its muscles is amazing. I have introduced many friends to Deborah who are now loyal clients and it is my pleasure to introduce whomever is reading this review. You will not be disappointed!! J.M.

As a Physical Therapist for 30 years I had a flare up due to my severe issues. I booked a 60 minute massage with Deborah. She listened to my request. Deborah is extremely knowledgeable in anatomy and experienced in multiple techniques. She knows how to judge and modify the intensity and tolerance for the maximal benefit which I got. I was not familiar with all the techniques and the Thai massage techniques were particularly effective. I would highly recommend her services to anyone. This is the kind of experience that can complement a pain management program. I’ll be back, prn. Sally P.

I highly recommend Deborah as a wonderful massage therapist. She's thorough, communicative, professional, and truly wants to help her client unknot and heal those areas of tension or soreness that plague so many on a daily basis. Her skills both with her techniques and pre-work interview of needs blend seamlessly for a wonderful, restorative session. Jennifer N.
February 2016
Deborah has a terrific approach to massage therapy. She spent several minutes before we started chatting with me so she understood all of my history. This relaxed me and made me comfortable. Her technique is skillful, and more importantly, caring and compassionate. She even adjusted the pressure applied to suit my individual preference. I would recommend Deborah to anyone - unequivocally. Art L.
February 2016
Deborah gave me a wonderful massage. She is very conscious making sure the massage is therapeutic, but not painful. She also massaged my elderly and handicapped parents and knew exactly what to do and how to handle their specific issues. My mother has Fibromyalgia and Deborah know how to deal with her pain. I highly recommend her! Cathy D.

I scheduled a Thai prenatal massage with Deborah when I was 31 weeks pregnant and incredibly uncomfortable. My lower back was strained and one of my ribs was popped. I could hardly stand straight and breathing was difficult. After quite a few (unproductive) visits with my chiropractor, he suggested I have a go at a massage to see if that couldn't get my rib to slide back into place. It was my first visit and I wasn't at all disappointed. Their space was not fancy but very comfortable, clean and well-designed for a relaxing atmosphere. Deborah was courteous, thoughtful, timely, and a great listener. Her massage technique was awesome- and I'm so glad she's so well versed in prenatal massage. I left relaxed, refreshed, and a little sad it was over so soon. I could stand up straight and finally take that deep breath I was missing for several weeks! I'll absolutely go back. Deborah is awesome and I would recommend her to anyone - pregnant or not. Linsey T.
February 2016
I have been to Deborah twice and she never disappoints! I get frequent tension headaches but she is able to target my pain, relieving the stress. Deborah is a great therapist and I will continue going to her for future massages! R.T.
February 2016
Wonderful experience here! I received a gift certificate, and the massage I received when I cashed it in was wonderful. Deborah did an amazing job of keeping the pressure just right, and really paid attention to details (giving a scalp massage, rolling your ankles, all those little items!) It was incredibly relaxing, and she was so friendly. I may just have to make another appointment for myself! T.N.
February 2016
I had a lovely massage here. I had been having neck and back pain from stress, so I decided to try this place, which is near my house. I booked an appointment the night before I went - it was easy as could be - no hassles at all. My massage was nice and relaxing - the therapist was attentive and listened if I said there was too much or not enough pressure. After my session was over, I felt so much better! I would definitely recommend to anyone.

I almost don't even want to write a review because I don't want all of you to start coming here and making it difficult for me to get after-work appointments! But really, this secret is just too good to keep. Body N Soul Massage = AMAZING. The prices are reasonable, the facilities are clean and calm. But most of all, the massages are out of this world amazing. Every time I leave, I say to myself "oh my god that was the best massage ever" and then I go again and it's even better. Seriously, this place is the best.

I have had massages all over the country and some of the best I have received are at Body N Soul Massage. I still return here for heavenly massages when I'm back visiting family. They do scheduling online, so it is simple and easy to make an appointment. It isn't a spa, but that is one of the things I love about it. I highly recommend it, and wish I could find something comparable in DC...or move them here. S.K.

Fast and easy online purchase system. Deborah always provides a great product along with excellent customer service. Deborah is highly professional and provides expert treatment. I have chronic pain from injury and she provides the only treatment (Thai massage with Trigger Point Therapy) that effectively manages the pain and inflammation. I highly recommend her as a repeat customer for over 4 years. David S.

I was recently involved in an auto accident and in a lot of pain. Deborah came highly recommended and she is AWESOME. She works magic for my aches and pain. Once the massage is complete, I feel like a brand new person without the pain that I came in with. Every week I look forward to my appointments. Not only do I come there but also my mom. If I am bringing my mama, you know it's good stuff! :) You all should come to Body N Soul Massage and treat yourself to a great massage! Christine L.February 2016
Just amaaaazzzziiiinnng. Best value for the services rendered. I will be back here again and again and again. She really knows her trade. Very professional, relaxing and worth every penny. I only wish I had gotten an even longer session....will do that next time.
February 2016
Lovely place, friendly, professional therapist who is very kind and willing to help and make you feel better! Deborah was my massage therapist and she knew exactly what to do to get at my very knotted up muscles and work out the tension. I'll be back... :-) T.N.
February 2016
Deborah has done wonders for me! When I want just a relaxation massage, she provides the appropriate environment and technique. When I have a specific painful area or spot, she is certain to use the right amount of pressure to provide therapeutic value, but not pain. She always takes the time to understand what my pain and health concerns are. Her genuine concern and knowledge is evident in every session! I am very confident and happy to recommend Deborah as a massage therapist. Katie V.
February 2016
I've had painful lower back issues and started receiving massages from Deborah. She's fantastic! Deborah gave me one of the best lower back massages I've ever had (and continues to do so!). Deborah listens attentively to your issues and knows how to effectively address them during your session. She is a very intuitive and gifted therapist. I highly recommend her to anyone! Caron P.
February 2016
I go to Deborah for Thai massage. I have had long term pain with my ‘mouse muscle’, as well as hip flexor pain. She’s been very effective with loosening the tightness in both areas and has greatly reduced the pain. Several of my friends have gone to her for massage therapy as well and also benefited the same as I have. I highly recommend Deborah for any type of massage you are looking for. Lynn F.
February 2016
Wow! Deborah at Body N Soul Massage did a fantastic job working out the knot in my shoulder that has been plaguing me for months. She also gave me some great ideas about how to keep it from happening again - she is knowledgeable, skilled, calm, and simply wonderful -- I will for sure be back. She and the space are the best -- thank you, Deborah! W.B.
February 2016
I saw Deborah this afternoon and I could not be more pleased! I am a certified massage therapist myself and never write reviews. Deborah deserves this though. The massage was slow and methodical. The space is cozy and sweet. Deborah is so compassionate. I couldn't have asked for a better experience today. I will be going back. Mara B.
February 2016
Clean, quiet..... Super comfortable/soft/warm massage bed. Easy online booking.. Good prices. Decided last night I'd like a massage today, was able to look at the therapist’s training, services offered, etc. Booking offered variety of styles and lengths. I enjoyed the massage so much (and she had an offer going) that I bought a package of six. Looking forward to going back next month! N.H.
February 2016
I was stoked at how easy it was to make an appointment online... I called around several places without openings for days or weeks and in the pain I am in I needed a massage NOW! I drove all the way from an hour away and I am so glad I did. I will DEFINITELY be making the drive again monthly for massages with Deborah. Y.L.
February 2016
I have been getting massages regularly for the past fifteen years. . At long last, I have found THE place that I will be going from now on with THE therapist I will be seeing. Deborah read my muscles like a book and gave the best massage I have ever had. It was so good that I booked a follow up one week later to take advantage of the promotional deal they had. I cannot say enough great things about this place. Check it out! H.G.
February 2016
I get massages probably every 3 weeks and Body N Soul Massage is my go-to place! Deborah does wonders in getting all my knots out without making me feel beat up. I judge a great massage if I fall asleep on the table---and here I almost always do. I like that the room is clean, comfortable, warm, and dimly lit which is very relaxing. She has nice relaxing music which works great. I've been to other salons that have great therapists but the place itself is uncomfortable and loud but Body N Soul Massage has a great therapist and great atmosphere to get relaxing therapeutic massages. The prices are very competitive and I like that you can book easily online. Love this place! Danielle N.

Someone gave me a gift certificate. I had no idea what to expect, but decided to cash in one day when I desperately needed to relieve some kid-induced stress! My therapist was Deborah. She gave me a friendly welcome at the front desk, asked me what areas I wanted to focus on & was not too chatty. The center is not exactly spa-like, but Deborah was great & I highly recommend her! H.F.
January 2016
Deborah has an amazing understanding of the human body. My back cramped up recently and I also had hip issues, Deborah was able to concentrate on the muscles that were hurting. Felt amazingly better just after the first massage. I would highly recommend this place. It’s not just a regular massage that you get, but a comprehensive relieving Thai massage. Kalyan O.

I was having trouble with my sciatic nerve and Deborah worked her magic with helping relieve the pain! I'm so happy I found this place. She took me in right away. I love everything about it, from the therapist to the atmosphere. You automatically get the warm and fuzzies. Deborah, has herself a diamond in the rough. Thanks, I luv ya! Vickie N.
January 2016
This was a great experience. I made the appointment and went in on the same day. Very relaxing and very sweet girl! She went above and beyond. Will definitely be recommending to people about what a great establishment you have going on! Thanks again. Camille C.
January 2016
Body N Soul Massage is a really great establishment and a great place to get therapeutic massages. When I was having a lot of neck and shoulder pain, I decided to give this place a try. When I walked in and laid down for my massage, I told the therapist where I was hurting and she got to work. I started to talk to her about different things and it came up that I had been having some pain around my right eye. I had assumed that this had something to do with eye strain or me needing a new prescription for my glasses. Before I even told her it was my right eye, however, the therapist guessed which eye it was that hurt. It turned out that it was related to my shoulder/neck pain. After massages and doing stretches that my therapist advised, all of my different pains have cleared up. It is an excellent place and Deborah is really knowledgeable. I would advise Body N Soul Massage to everyone. Ethan B

I have been getting massages regularly for the past fifteen years. . At long last, I have found THE place that I will be going from now on with THE therapist I will be seeing. Deborah read my muscles like a book and gave the best massage I have ever had. It was so good that I booked a follow up one week later to take advantage of the promotional deal they had. I cannot say enough great things about this place. Check it out! H.G.

I get massages probably every 3 weeks and Body N Soul Massage is my go-to place! Deborah does wonders in getting all my knots out without making me feel beat up. I judge a great massage if I fall asleep on the table---and here I almost always do. I like that the room is clean, comfortable, warm, and dimly lit which is very relaxing. She has nice relaxing music which works great. I've been to other salons that have great therapists but the place itself is uncomfortable and loud but Body N Soul Massage has a great therapist and great atmosphere to get relaxing therapeutic massages. The prices are very competitive and I like that you can book easily online. Love this place! Danielle N.

Someone gave me a gift certificate. I had no idea what to expect, but decided to cash in one day when I desperately needed to relieve some kid-induced stress! My therapist was Deborah. She gave me a friendly welcome at the front desk, asked me what areas I wanted to focus on & was not too chatty. The center is not exactly spa-like, but Deborah was great & I highly recommend her!

Deborah has an amazing understanding of the human body. My back cramped up recently and I also had hip issues, Deborah was able to concentrate on the muscles that were hurting. Felt amazingly better just after the first massage. I would highly recommend this place. It’s not just a regular massage that you get, but a comprehensive relieving Thai massage. Kalyan O.

I was having trouble with my sciatic nerve and Deborah worked her magic with helping relieve the pain! I'm so happy I found this place. She took me in right away. I love everything about it, from the therapist to the atmosphere. You automatically get the warm and fuzzies. Deborah, has herself a diamond in the rough. Thanks, I luv ya! Vickie N.

This was a great experience. I made the appointment and went in on the same day. Very relaxing and very sweet girl! She went above and beyond. Will definitely be recommending to people about what a great establishment you have going on! Thanks again. Camille C.

Body N Soul Massage is a really great establishment and a great place to get therapeutic massages. When I was having a lot of neck and shoulder pain, I decided to give this place a try. When I walked in and laid down for my massage, I told the therapist where I was hurting and she got to work. I started to talk to her about different things and it came up that I had been having some pain around my right eye. I had assumed that this had something to do with eye strain or me needing a new prescription for my glasses. Before I even told her it was my right eye, however, the therapist guessed which eye it was that hurt. It turned out that it was related to my shoulder/neck pain. After massages and doing stretches that my therapist advised, all of my different pains have cleared up. It is an excellent place and Deborah is really knowledgeable. I would advise Body N Soul Massage to everyone. Ethan B

OMG! I woke up this weekend with the most horrible neck pain I've ever felt. I couldn't hold my head up without incredible pain. A friend recommended Deborah at Body N Soul Massage and I figured why not, anything is better than this pain. By the end of the massage I could turn my head without crying. The exercises she showed me kept the pain away for days and after my second massage today the pain is gone!!! She gave me some more exercises to try for maintenance and I'm hopeful the nagging neck and shoulder pain I always have from hunching over my computer will go away. Best massage ever!!! Cici S.

Have you ever been to one of those massage places that treat you like cattle? You know the ones in the strip malls that are part of some franchise operation. In those cattle call massage dens, you take what you can get and the quality of your massage is always a crap shoot. You don't get that with Body N Soul Massage. At Body N Soul Massage you get all Deborah, 100% Deborah! And, this is a good thing for you and your tired, tight muscles. Now Deborah is what I call "versatile." Get your mind out of the gutter! What I mean is that she does massages of all types and stripes. From slow strokes and hot stones to deep tissue massages that leave you crying for mama because it hurt so good....Deborah has you covered. Stop going to those take a number massage places and come over to Body N Soul Massage. Your muscles will thank you for it! Sandra G.

My husband and I needed a relaxing massage and I spent a lot of time trying to find one at a decent rate for the time given. We went in for our massages, and it was wonderful. The atmosphere was relaxing; in my opinion many of the larger spa facilities make me nervous sitting in the waiting area. At Body N Soul Massage it was cozy, offered water and chocolate truffle after the massage, and had relaxing music. She is wonderful. I will defiantly be going back, with or without my husband. " Leania N.

I would recommend Deborah to everyone. I felt no back pain walking out of that office. Deborah knows what she is doing and how to help your body. Great customer service and a tranquil atmosphere. The prices are really affordable and I am definitely going back. I have been to Massage Envy over the last few years, but never found a massage therapist who I would follow. Glad to have found Deborah at Body N Soul Massage!!!! K. Hite

Amazing Help Deborah has been an amazing help with my chronic back pain for some time now. She asks questions, takes time to understand the pain and type of issues, and always has a smile on her face to greet you even if she is likely exhausted. She is a great therapist! K.H.

Body N Soul Massage is great! She has given extra effort to help my migraine headache problem. I have not had to take a single migraine pill since I started getting regular massages from Deborah." K. Hite
December 2015
Today I received the most amazing massage I have ever had! After over a year of living with an almost frozen shoulder, I can move without pain. Deborah's hands found very painful place and worked healing and peace into my muscles and joints. What a gift! Amy W.

I bought my wife a massage from Body N Soul Massage for her birthday. It was the first time she had ever had a massage and to make sure that she went I decided to have one too. Being the first massage for both of us, I didn't really know what to expect and was a little nervous. That quickly diminished however as we met the therapist, Deborah. She made us feel right at home and was very responsive to any questions or needs that we might have. We spent 90 minutes under her skilled hands and every minute of it was a treat. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is feeling stressed out or experiencing muscle soreness. I became so relaxed during the massage that I actually fell asleep. What woke me up was the sound of my own snoring! Needless to say I was quite embarrassed by this but Deborah assured me that it was the biggest compliment that she could receive because it meant that the massage had relaxed my body to the point of sleep. If you are serious about getting a quality massage then I would not hesitate to recommend Body N Soul Massage!" C.T.
December 2015
I've been here twice this year (once in Aug and once in Oct.) Deborah is SUPER NICE and very welcoming! You can tell she loves what she does! The first time I was there I got a massage and the foot treatment. It was my first massage so I was nervous, but when I got there, she was so nice I felt relaxed immediately. The spa foot treatment was AWESOME!! The second time I got a longer massage. I can't wait to go back and get more things done!! Jenny K.
December 2015
Best massage I've ever had. Deborah did my massage today, and it was absolutely amazing. This was my first time to go to Body N Soul Massage, and it is definitely worth it! My back feels more rejuvenated than it has in a very long time. I would highly recommend Deborah. She constantly was checking on the pressure and to make sure that it was feeling good. I told her that I wanted her to work on my back, neck, and shoulders, and she did for almost the whole massage. Most places I have been will only work on your back for a little while, but Deborah made sure that my back felt wonderful by the end of the massage. R.P.

I am a little late getting this in, but I need to share that I had an amazing massage at this business. Not fancy or "spa"-like but, when you're seeking a great massage experience, that really isn't a priority. Deborah is an exceptional massage therapist. I have to have deep tissue, and I'm always a little apprehensive that it won't be deep enough, or, more importantly, that it will not be correct or as deep as it is, cause some kind of injury. Deborah was excellent, and I would highly recommend her. W.C.

I am a 41 year old single mom who carries every worry and stress of life in my neck and shoulders. The pain and stiffness get so bad at times that I want to scream! My wonderful parents bought me several sessions with Deborah. She has been an answer to prayer and a true miracle worker. She has such a calming demeanor and the hands of an angel (with the strength of a lion!) There are precious few moments of complete relaxation - body and soul - in my life. The last few have been on her table! She takes the time to listen to what you tell her as well as what your body tells her. Thank you for the help!! Darlene H.

For over two weeks I have felt like I'd been abducted by aliens... read as vertigo. Well, let me tell all of you, I was given the gift of a massage from Body N Soul Massage and I am now a believer!!! REAL MASSAGE IS THERAPY! This was no superficial spa experience! I am back to my old self... full of piss and vinegar! A huge thanks to Deborah for making me feel so comfortable and sharing so much of her knowledge with me. I am now on the road to recovery. No more aliens inside me! For any of you that are feeling stressed out, in a rut or just not feeling like yourself, give Body N Soul Massage a call, and become invigorated and ready to live again!!! Karen C.

Deborah is the best and I am grateful she chose to open up shop in Vigo County. Not only is she extremely talented, she is also very skilled at dealing with pain. I deal with several illnesses, including a joint condition that causes every joint to dislocate. She is the only therapist I trust and the only one that has been able to give me relief. She adjusts her technique depending on what you need. It also doesn't hurt that she has a very kind heart! K.L.

I have monthly massage w/Deborah Shahadey for 2+ years. Each time she & I discuss painful sites, sore muscles, etc. Soothing music is played. She also has on hand extra blankets & pillows to ensure client is comfortable. She is totally in tuned with her client’s remarks and body language. Book early because Deborah has a large following!

Deborah - simply put she is the best massage therapist I have ever been to. She has a quiet, soothing soul and is a consummate professional that has a passion and dedication for her trade. Very broad set of techniques - Thai massage is my favorite. Understands what you need most, but will, of course, focus on what you want. She was a blessing to me as I needed massages to compliment my aggressive crossfit program. Thanks, Deborah !! T.R

Deborah Shahadey is a MIRACLE WORKER! She is one of the few people in the area trained in Trigger Point Therapy. I have constant back pain from several car accidents, and it had gotten to the point that I could not turn my head completely and had to lean my head to the left to avoid pain as much as possible. After the FIRST session with Deborah, the next day I could turn my head and lift my arms! She is very meticulous as she works, slowly working each layer of muscle (which she identifies as she goes along if you like) until she reaches layers so deep that she seems to be working on my skeleton! Truly, she is absolutely FANTASTIC! I haven't stopped handing out her cards since my first treatment with her (I am currently on my third)! The facility is lovely little place out in the country with horses and chickens and dogs, quiet and completely relaxing...whether you need structural work or just a relaxation massage, Deborah is THE Massage Therapist to see!

I recently had my first massage with Deborah. I pulled a muscle in my back and was having some serious pain. Not only did Deborah help that pain go away with her healing touch she also put me into a sublime relaxation. Her massage was beyond amazing. I can't wait to go back. Deborah has a gift, whether it be healing muscles or just a massage to relax and feel good she can do it all. She has a soothing voice and her warm personality immediately makes you feel comfortable. I am highly impressed and will recommend her to anyone! W.R.

I can't say enough about how wonderful Deborah is and her passion for helping others. I had neck surgery and could not turn my head at all.

I highly recommend Deborah to anyone who has tried all of the other therapists and want someone who cares and makes you feel like you have a new body! She is amazing!!! Cathy D.

As a very frequent global traveller over the last 20 years, I have been fortunate to have had massages from all around the world from both deluxe establishments to very simple beach-side affairs. I can honestly say that the massage that I received at Body N Soul Massage, although in simple surroundings, was hands-down one of the best that I have ever had. Do not pass up the opportunity of enjoying a massage here! I would particularly recommend Deborah’s technique as a fabulous massage therapist! G.H.

~(Chi Nei Tsang) THAI ABDOMINAL MASSAGE WORKS WONDERS!!! If you suffer from any debilitating abdominal condition that keeps you from enjoying life to the fullest, PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW. This is my personal story of how Thai Abdominal Massage (Chi Nei Tsang), expertly administered by Deborah Shahadey at Body N Soul Massage, has changed my life. I have suffered from a myriad of digestive disorders, including Crohn’s Disease, Barrett’s Esophagus, IBS, colitis, and diverticulitis, for the past fifteen years. During that time, I saw endless physicians and specialists who, after performing countless diagnostic tests and dispensing year after year of harsh prescription drugs, were no closer to adequately addressing the cause of my problems. In fact, they weren’t even doing that great of a job even effectively treating my symptoms. I was chronically constipated. There were weeks when I could eat no more than a few handfuls of food each day due to chronic bloat, acid reflux, and a constant feeling of being overly full. I augmented my meals with nutritional supplements, yet continued to lose weight that I could not regain, no matter how hard I tried. Finally, the miracle happened!! I had been a regular client for a few years when Deborah became certified in Thai Bodywork. After experiencing the benefits of her Bodywork sessions, I was very eager to try the Thai Abdominal massage that would address all of the maladies occurring in my digestive track. Committing to a series of six consecutive weekly 90-minute sessions was the best decision I have made for my body since my journey of seeking relief began almost fifteen years ago. I noticed a significant difference after the first session and by the fourth one, I started feeling like a new man! Most notably, I began having regular and predictable BMs on a daily basis as opposed to once or twice a week, without the help of any medication. At age 64, my energy level is increasing, my appetite is back, and my weight is finally beginning to rebound. I almost forgot what it was like to feel this good. Deborah’s expertise and talent for performing this age-old, almost forgotten art of healing has given me my life back. I now have a standing monthly appointment to maintain this fabulous feeling of a healthy belly, and I look forward to every session! Russ Williams (Terre Haute, IN)

~(Chi Nei Tsang) THAI ABDOMINAL MASSAGE WORKS WONDERS!!! If you suffer from any debilitating abdominal condition that keeps you from enjoying life to the fullest, PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW. This is my personal story of how Thai Abdominal Massage (Chi Nei Tsang), expertly administered by Deborah Shahadey at Body N Soul Massage, has changed my life. I have suffered from a myriad of digestive disorders, including Crohn’s Disease, Barrett’s Esophagus, IBS, colitis, and diverticulitis, for the past fifteen years. During that time, I saw endless physicians and specialists who, after performing countless diagnostic tests and dispensing year after year of harsh prescription drugs, were no closer to adequately addressing the cause of my problems. In fact, they weren’t even doing that great of a job even effectively treating my symptoms. I was chronically constipated. There were weeks when I could eat no more than a few handfuls of food each day due to chronic bloat, acid reflux, and a constant feeling of being overly full. I augmented my meals with nutritional supplements, yet continued to lose weight that I could not regain, no matter how hard I tried. Finally, the miracle happened!! I had been a regular client for a few years when Deborah became certified in Thai Bodywork. After experiencing the benefits of her Bodywork sessions, I was very eager to try the Thai Abdominal massage that would address all of the maladies occurring in my digestive track. Committing to a series of six consecutive weekly 90-minute sessions was the best decision I have made for my body since my journey of seeking relief began almost fifteen years ago. I noticed a significant difference after the first session and by the fourth one, I started feeling like a new man! Most notably, I began having regular and predictable BMs on a daily basis as opposed to once or twice a week, without the help of any medication. At age 64, my energy level is increasing, my appetite is back, and my weight is finally beginning to rebound. I almost forgot what it was like to feel this good. Deborah’s expertise and talent for performing this age-old, almost forgotten art of healing has given me my life back. I now have a standing monthly appointment to maintain this fabulous feeling of a healthy belly, and I look forward to every session! Russ Williams (Terre Haute, IN)

I went to Body N Soul Massage after having an extremely stressful finals week and just needed to relax and get the tensions out of my shoulders. I had the most amazing massage that relieved all of the tensions in my neck and shoulders, along with alleviating the issues of my chronically bad back. R.N

After five babies, a car accident last year, and a pelvic prolapse requiring major surgery, I had accepted pain as my daily/hourly norm! Today I woke up pain free, and cried all the way to work. Over the last two weeks I have been looking for a massage therapist that could give me just 60 minutes of relaxation, but never realized how therapeutic Thai massage could re-organize the muscles, allowing a pain-free way of life. Deborah was not only skilled and knowledgeable, but her passion for helping people, through massage, was definitely felt with every touch! I highly recommend this quaint little place for any and all, relaxation massage or massage therapy needs!! Can't wait to be back on her table! Heather M.

Excellent! I was in a car accident 4 years ago. Deborah has improved my range of motion in my neck more in 4 visits than two years of physical therapy. I highly recommend Body N Soul Massage! Dana D.
September 2015
I went in with a great deal of stress induced pain in my back. Although the session with Deborah felt awesome and was very relaxing, I came out feeling the same pain. However, there was absolutely NO pain when I woke up next morning!! I'm absolutely sold. She will definitely see me again. Brandon I.

Body N Soul Massage is a miracle! Since 2005, I have been a client of Deborah. She brings a special quality to the treatment she provides. I have been plagued with pain that has rendered me helpless on many days. Through many doctors' visits that led to dead end roads, Deborah was there for me with a caring soul, a friendly smile, and the best skills for a massage therapist I have ever experienced. Her knowledge and skills helped reduce the pain that left me screaming for help, and allowed me to face the next day. Through many visits for my head and back she has helped me achieve an almost normal schedule once again. She has stood there beside me through the trial treatments, periods of time I wasn't able to drive, and now on the road to healing! I give her many thanks for being a friend as well as an inspiration to keep me focused on healing! Thank you for everything and God Bless! Ashley L.

Throughout the second and third trimester of my pregnancy, I received therapeutic, prenatal massages from Body N Soul Massage. The massage therapy released tension in weight-bearing muscles; as well as offering relaxation and increased blood flow throughout my body. I attribute a part of the success in my birth to the massage therapy I received. Amanda G.
July 2015
The most out of this world massages I have ever received are with Deborah. Not only are her sessions extremely relaxing but you can feel at ease while she works away your cares. I recently moved away and nothing even comes close to her. She truly is top notch. I wouldn't go anywhere else or settle for anything less. O.B.
June 2015
I've had many massages in my life but none as good as the ones I receive from Body N Soul Massage. Deborah was amazing! Second time I received a 2 hour massage, and I definitely felt like I had been massaged! She spent the extra time to make sure she covered every issue I had and was so knowledgeable and very passionate about helping me feel like I had been therapeutically treated. If you are like me and want a deep tissue massage with lots of pressure she is the right person for you! I am definitely going to make the time to go monthly from now on. Well worth the money!! A.S.

I had an accident 10 days ago. It's made my neck, my back so sore, then i tried to find some place do good massage in Terre Haute. I Googled and found Body N Soul Massage.

I don't often get massages, but I had terrible stiff neck, and Deborah helped me immensely. The heated herb pack under my neck was an added and welcome bonus. I will definitely be back and would recommend her highly because my experience was wonderful.

April 2015
Go here to get a massage! I never had a massage before I went to this place. Deborah was very friendly and knew what she was doing. I highly recommend this place to anyone who's looking for a place to get a massage. She is very good at scheduling you an appointment and getting you in ASAP. I called Friday morning to schedule an appointment, and they booked me an appointment literally within several hours on that same Friday night. How much better customer service can you ask for? Try this place out!! Eric C

I have over the years received many great massages from Deborah, otherwise I would not keep coming back. I wish I could go there more often. I am grateful to have found such a wonderful place to relax!! John D.
March 2015
I went in because a friend gave me a gift certificate and I had just had a couple back to back stressful trips from east to west coast for work and I thought let's see if I can destress. I usually get tight around my neck and upper back area and I had appt with Deborah, she took her time and she wasn't rough at all, she was very gentle but firm and she got all the kinks out and her hands felt like angel hands and it was a lovely experience. I loved the lavender and eucalyptus smell and overall it was a beautiful experience. R.N.
January 2015
I have been fortunate enough to have traveled the world, one of my goals was to get massages in every country I went to (17 countries). Later on I owned a day spa and one of the perks was to get free messages anytime a new therapist was interviewing for a job. Needless to say I have enjoyed many different types of massages, personalities and results. Recently had a total Labral repair and then 2 bouts of cancer with maximum doses of Chemo and Radiation, after my second bout I had a modified neck dissection on the same side as the Labral repair. Needless to say, I have had a lot of problems with my neck and shoulders since. That is until I went and saw Deborah at Body N Soul Massage. "Oh what a relief it is!!" I have gone several days now with renewed mobility, comfort in sleeping and an overall feeling of relative painlessness I have not had in a very long time. I highly recommend anyone needing deep muscle work or any post surgery Therapy! Thank you, Deborah, I feel great!! Adam S.

Read the reviews and decided to try since I was in town for the week and no idea of anything around. The reviews are right. Honestly one of the best massages I've ever had. Deborah was my girl and I wish she lived in my city. Wonderful way to spend the afternoon in a strange city. Michelle S.

As a helicopter pilot and a victim of whiplash, for the past year I have suffered from intermittent extreme neck tightness that significantly limits my range of motion. These bouts would normally last 3-4 weeks with varying degrees of intensity and I tried everything to decrease the severity. Finally, I discovered a massage therapist out in the country about 15 minutes from Terre Haute that seemed to work wonders and reduced the pain from these episodes. After moving to Indiana, I had an onset of this neck stiffening and quickly sought out a massage therapist. Luckily, I found Deborah! She was able to see me immediately and her results were incredible! Within two days after the massage, I went from barely being able to move my neck to near full range of motion and very little pain. THE BEST RESULTS I HAVE EVER RECEIVED FROM A MASSAGE! (and I have had a lot) By completing her take-home neck exercises, I have been able to keep the neck stiffness from returning. Jeff L

After driving for hours, my back, neck and shoulders are very tired and tense. A relaxing session at Body N Soul Massage with Deborah is the best Rx needed. She provides a quiet, soothing atmosphere and comfortable environment. She takes time to answer questions and provides helpful information. When you leave the room, you will want to arrange another session soon!! Rachel K

Feeling lots of muscular pain in my upper body, I recently made an appointment with Deborah for a massage. She now has given me two of the best massages I have ever had. She is so helpful in helping me understand how to manage my shoulder, neck and back pain as well as how to alleviate much of it. Her fabulous massages and her willingness to spend time explaining exercises and lifestyle changes, have this old great- grandmother, feeling so much better already! Carolyn F.

This summer I traveled to Indiana for vacation to visit my family and ended up with a terrible shoulder/neck pain on the drive from Atlanta. I have to say that one session with Deborah provided remarkable relief! Her skill and expert application of her vast experience was just what I need to feel better fast. And she provided good advice on what to do to keep improving after the massage was over. She even sent me home with printouts of stretches for me to do at home. It saved my whole week!! The massage center is welcoming, clean and quiet so I could really relax and let my body release the stress and begin healing. I can't thank Deborah enough. I will definitely make time to go back for another session when in town. If you live there or happen to visit the Terre Haute area and need massage therapy, do check out Body N Soul Massage. Andie K.

I was aware that I was overdue for a massage, but I had no idea how much so, until I made it onto Deborah's table. The pain I had went deeper than I had realized, and it took a lot of massaging for Deborah to work it out. It had also reduced the amount of energy I could expend, and left me feeling depressed and exhausted every morning. Worse so, I had little patience and quick to anger towards friends and family. One hour was not long enough to remove all the tension that has been building for months, but it did a lot give me relief, and time to reflect about the pain and anger I was feeling and (spreading to others). I am planning on a follow up session very soon to help knock the rest out of the tension and bring me back to my former youthful self. Many Thanks to Deborah. She still has the touch!!! W.T.September 2014

I would like to weigh in on the wonderful massages that I have had at Body N Soul Massage. The deep tissue massages I've received from Deborah have always been professional, very targeted yet relaxing; she has never been challenged by a trigger point she's met! Deborah has had to deal with several issues from accidents I've had and has always helped me tremendously. This testimonial has been long overdue - kudo's to Body N Soul Massage and to Deborah, in particular. Pat B.

Not only did the massage relieve my discomfort but Deborah explained what she suspected was the cause of the neck cramp as well as some other muscle pains I had and she suggested several stretches for me to try. The stretches are simple and I can do them almost anywhere! FANTASTIC! I highly recommend Deborah at Body N Soul Massage. Rose P.

All of them support the continued use of massage as a part of the management of this chronic issue....it's part of a comprehensive plan...Deborah Shahadey has been my Massage Therapist for many years and will continue to be my Massage Therapist for many more. She will work with you to assess your specific massage needs and help you get scheduled for a massage. If you've never had a massage from a licensed massage therapist before,.....this is not incense, funky music and candles....This is a professional who is concerned about your muscles and will work to help you manage your pain.

Such a wonderful experience! Deborah was able to work me in today. Thank goodness! I really needed a massage! I tried lots of soaking and stretching to relieve my back pain for two days and her massage was just the ticket to get it all relaxed. Deborah even took the time to give me more gentle stretching/ elongating exercises as well as sleep positioning to continue at home. I've continued to utilize her advice and am seeing lots of relief. Thank you! Gina W

I was pleasantly surprised by how good Deborah Shahadey is! Being a physician myself, I appreciate how she listens to me, how knowledgeable she is and how much experience she has. I wouldn't even try another place! Looks like I have made a friend for life. :) Thank you Deborah, for your expertise and I look forward to many more sessions. You are really good at what you do.

As a former college athlete, it has been hard to adjust to not having weekly massages. Adding the stress of medical school on top of that caused my muscles to become extremely tense, and my upper back, shoulders and neck are always sore. Deborah is absolutely amazing! She uses many different strokes and pressures, working out all of the tight spots (even some I didn't know were there until she found them)! I couldn't ask for a better massage! After 2 sessions this week, I can honestly say that I have never felt so relaxed and free :) I will be back every break from school to see Deborah! Jim M.

All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you. Deborah was amazing. For the past couple of days I have been having a lot of pain in my neck, shoulders and upper back. Not only did Deborah work me in the same day I called, but her magic worked absolutely great on me. I felt like a new person immediately after the massage. This was also my first time at Body N Soul Massage. I recommend anyone that has pain or just needs some stress/tension relief to head over there. I will definitely be going back. Charles R.

I knew I was feeling the need to schedule, but I did not realize that it was more like long-overdue. Deborah did an excellent job to knock out the major problem areas plaguing me. I did not realize how many or how bad they were. I may feel the need to come back for a fine tuning, but I am appreciative of what she was able to accomplish during my session. She even suggested coming in for a reduced price early morning appointment, which originally sounded way too early, but I am now giving further thought. I don't know how I would get by without her. Thank You Deborah!! F.C.

As a chiropractic physician here, I have been sending folks to Deborah for work for years...all with very good results. I personally see Deborah monthly for my own body work and she does wonderful work and is someone whose judgement and skill level I trust, as well as her personal integrity. Thank you Deborah! T.C.

My Mom and I love you! You are our favorite place to get massages! It just feels comfortable, and that’s pretty important.

Deborah is great! The prices are very reasonable and my experiences have been healing. The best part about it is that each massage is tailored to suit what your needs are. This is what counts! It makes the experience so much more effective and meaningful. Tess A.

This place is amazing! I loved my holistic massage session. The LMT talked with me before and after my massage to make sure she knows exactly how she can help you…and when she says a 60-minute session, it truly is a 60-minute hands-on session (not including the before and after info session or getting dressed time).

I was all stressed out and waited too long to schedule an appointment. Deborah did a real great job, and with very little notice. I never scheduled with her before, but definitely need to do so again, soon, often. Thank you Deborah!!! C.M.
