"Okay, some backstory before I get into how AMAZING my massage was. I had just given birth to my second daughter and my back, neck, pretty much everything was killing me. I had been nursing my daughter in bed for long hours during the night and not to mention the day so I really needed a relaxing but deep massage to sooth my achy body. My mother who was visiting for the birth of our baby girl and who was also very sore from helping me so much in the night also had a massage from Tahni. She arrived at my home with her table and provided heated towels and these incredible essential oils ! My mom and I both agreed that she really has a special gift in massage and bodywork. Tahni gave me the best therapeutic massage I've ever had in my life. I felt amazing. I would highly recommend Tahni for your massage needs. FIVE STARS!" -Natalia Stewart
