I left feeling like a million dollars and I understood my physical issues better than I had before.
“As an organic landscaper my body is worked hard daily. After one hour of massage my muscles and joints were loose and I was no longer in pain. I left feeling like a million dollars and I understood my physical issues better than I had before.”

I truly felt that I had received a gift, and want to pass this gift on to others.
I am quite happy to recommend Kerry-Alisa Young’s massage and musical therapy benefits. Having been waylaid in my normally active healthy life by a major illness in my central nervous system, I was cautious. My body was no longer safe and reliable. Kerry-Alisa, whose children I had taught, gently and repeatedly offered her services for my healing. I gently and repeatedly turned her down, because touch had become an uncomfortable experience with my new malady. Touch, especially in my legs, continued to set off a horrible buzzy itchy charge up and down my body. Finally, with low expectations but appreciating her generous spirit, I accepted and scheduled an appointment. I explained to her that light touch set off my symptoms and that I may not be able to tolerate what would normally be therapeutic touch. She paid attention and, having created a soothing environment, put me at ease. Her massage was deep and certain. Her wonderful vibrational tools moved over me. As I relaxed into the session, I felt tight anxious muscles warm up and let go. I simply closed my eyes and received. To my amazement, I felt fantastic during and after the treatment. I truly felt that I had received a gift, and want to pass this gift on to others.

Kerry-Alisa is the massage therapist my heart has been hunting for.
I floated out of the room. Kerry-Alisa is the massage therapist my heart has been hunting for. It is rare for me that upon a massage session ending I'm not yearning for more-feeling still slightly tense-like our session couldn't possibly yet be done, but with Kerry-Alisa I was fully content and at ease. There was no part of me that did not feel fully taken care of. I don't know how to put it into words other than to say she has a motherly presence. This is a massage for both your body and your spirit. My energy feels completely in alignment. Thank you.

Kerry-Alisa's integration of sound into her bodywork practice is profound
Kerry is an incredible healer. Her therapeutic massage offerings (including pregnancy and postpartum) are all phenomenal. The integration of sound into her bodywork practice is profound - I find it deeply relaxing and grounding. I can't recommend Kerry more!

I have been seeing Kerry-Alisa for years and every massage is different, depending on my needs.
Kerry-Alisa is amazing. She listens carefully to whatever aches and pains you might be having, asks questions, and then incorporates what she has learned into the massage. I have been seeing her for years and every massage is different, depending on my needs. She just knows what is best for me in that visit. Kerry’s space is calming and lovely.

Her massages are as wonderful as she is... and help you reconnect your mind and body, while addressing any aches and pains.
Kerry is wonderful. Her massages are as wonderful as she is... and help you reconnect your mind and body, while addressing any aches and pains. I always find a session with her leaves me centered and feeling better for a number of days after I see her. I highly recommend a massage with her. As a birth doula Kerry is your person. She is centered and supportive and her spirit wraps around you as you transition into birth and parenting. Her presence is calming and she works well with birthers and their families. I can only imagine that she is also a wonderful death doula.”

Kerry is a delight to visit and receive massage from, and as an ex-massage therapist myself, I feel confident recommending her services whole-bodiedly.
Kerry was recommended to me by my prenatal yoga instructor, and I visited her for the first time in my third trimester of my first pregnancy. She helped me ease my way through the end of pregnancy and helped my body recover from labor just a few weeks after my daughter was born, and since. I have received prenatal and postpartum massage from her, as well as Shiatsu. Her physical and energetic touch is soothing, calming, and restorative. She also gave me sound and realistic advice when I asked her what was the best way to ensure I had a natural birth (a goal I had had my heart set on and achieved). Kerry is a delight to visit and receive massage from, and as an ex-massage therapist myself, I feel confident recommending her services whole-bodiedly.
