Swedish/Deep Tissue Massage

DeAnna has made me realize the importance of my posture and how true it is that the neck bone IS connected to, well, everything else. She can do very deep tissue work as well as adjust the pressure when I am feeling unusually wimpy. I especially appreciate DeAnna's ability to equip me with practical tips and stretches that I can easily do at home and at work.

She is truly all about me. She's respectful of personal space. If I'm in a talkative mood we can go on for days but if I'm just feeling quiet, she knows when to leave me to my thoughts (or lack of them).

Let me start by saying i'm extremely picky about receiving bodywork. Really. I'm a complete bodywork snob. There is bad sex. There is bad pizza. and believe me, there is a lot of bad bodywork. I'm a tough judge. I have to be. I am a bodyworker. I've practiced with and learned from great bodyworkers from many different professions. What the very good ones all have in common is that they:

A) can find the areas that are stuck and knotty
B) know multiple techniques to release said knots
C) understand anatomy
D) are thorough

In DeAnna Tibbs, it appears I have found one. She possesses good knowledge, great hands, and the patience to be very thorough. She also seems to be good people. DeAnna does many different types of massage, but what i really love is her deep tissue! If you like having someone really dig out all that nasty scar tissue that builds up in your muscles, I can highly recommend DeAnna. I've had three sessions with her, and can't wait til the next.

I started seeing DeAnna for help with a lower back injury. I didn't want to see a chiropracter and I wasnt ready to try traditional medicine's pain-killer fix. Deep tissue massage has done great things for me in the past so it seemed like a good place to start with this injury.

DeAnna is both personable and professional. I felt as comfortable chatting with her about nonsense as I did asking for help and guidance with my injury. She's incredibly knowlegeable about not just massage modalities, but physiology in general. I was very happy with her holistic approach to working out my injury by suggesting and demonstrating stretching techniques, recommending and supplying reference materials, and offering creative options for giving me relief and comfort while healing. And all that is completely aside from her excellent massage skills. DeAnna has fantastic, strong hands and delivers the kind of deep tissue massage that makes you feel like you've really gotten something done, even though you've just lain there. She has a very intuitive touch and great communication. I also love that she integrates stretching into her massage. I feel like that might have been the extra ingredient in solving my back issue. Thankfully, I did find resolution and healing and DeAnna's help in achieving it was immeasurable.

PreNatal Massage

Pregnancy wasn't easy for me. I was tired, my joints hurt and I couldn't seem to relax in any position. My spouse and my best friend both massaged my aching, swollen feet as often as they could, and for what they couldn't do, they gave me gift massages with DeAnna. Massage was such a wonderful gift during this amazing, and physically difficult time. DeAnna had just the right combination of pressure and tenderness to help me feel more comfortable in my changing body.

A few days after the birth of my son she came to my home and massaged me in my own room. With the baby only a few away, I was able to really relax and let my body be healed.

Every pregnant woman deserves a massage, and I can't recommend DeAnna enough!
