The power of Reiki
It had been a year since my mother’s death. My sacrum (tailbone) was hurting so badly, just like it did last year after my mother’s funeral. I knew this was just a “remembered” emotional response, but the pain was there again, just as intense as last year. I tried to work it out through stretching and exercise, but it wouldn’t go away. I knew I needed some bodywork as I had needed so many times in the past year. It would help me relax and even release some of the grief that still remained in my heart.
I called Unity Complete Wellness for an appointment. I was counting the minutes until then so I could get some relief from the pain. The one-and-a-half hour massage was wonderful and I felt very relaxed, but the best was yet to come. I was told that Reiki may be beneficial as well, and was given a treatment at the end of the massage. As she began the Reiki session, I felt the heat from her hands over the energy centers (Chakras) in my body. It was when her hands were over the Heart Chakra, that I had a tremendous emotional release. I was sobbing uncontrollably and I kept repeating the words “I know”. She asked me what I was referring to, and I told her the word “acceptance” had come into my mind. I knew that acceptance is the final stage of the grief process, and only by accepting the death of my mother could I be released from this grief that had weighed down my spirit and taken a toll on my body for a year. I now felt the most relaxed I had been in a long time (and a little giddy and light-headed), and my body stayed that way for longer than it used to after my previous bodywork sessions.
I now realize that the answer for me was with Reiki. It provided a way to release the pent-up emotions in my body that were causing my physical pain. I felt that a tremendous burden had been lifted from my spirit, and now it was free to connect with my mother’s spirit—just as I had been longing for.

What can I say, Stacey is just a great - the wonderful sort of soul who is really here to serve the world and help people with her healing heart and therapeutic touch. Brava! Count me a fan...

Over the last 25 years, I have been a regular massage therapy client in many cities and countries, and I have learned that a good massage therapist should not only have training and strength, but they must inherently be a healer. When my regular massage therapist left town a year ago, I was forced to suffer through a series of bad massage experiences where you could feel the clock ticking as the therapist's hands moved across your body. This is not what it means to be touched by Anastasia Netri. Not only does each treatment respond and react to where your body is on that day, but the kindness of who Anastasia is allows you to relax and receive all the healing that she offers. Having a regular bi weekly massage is worth bringing my lunch from home every day.

Stacey was great. She was nice and cooperative. First, she asked me if I wanted her to specifically target certain areas, then she went on to explain how she will go about massaging me. The massage was very soothing at times, but rough when it needed to be. My back is always sore because of my posture, but it felt great by the time Stacey was done with it.
Call her before she gets booked up! (seen on www.niftyguy.com)
Stacey is an awesome massage therapist. Unlike many, she doesn't limit you to one style or technique, she prefers you telling her what you want so she can focus on that area using an array of methods. She's friendly and approachable so you're not afraid of saying what works and what doesn't. She'll even come to your house so you don't have to wait in some spa sipping cucumber water wondering when they'll call your name. If you haven't already picked up the phone to book an appointment, you're missing out.
Stacey's massage is something that is more than just a massage. She combines her amazing technique with the wonderfully unique intuition that she uses to focus on my body's needs at the moment, which doesn't prove just therapeutic but is also spiritually healing. Stacey's expertise, however, doesn't obscure her sensitivity at all- she always listens and pays attention to what's going on with my body and gives it what it needs. All in all, I always enjoy Stacey's powerful yet gentle healing.

My two massages with Stacey have been very good experiences. She obviously has a good understanding of the human body and how it needs to be massaged. She had no trouble adjusting her technique to exactly what I wanted. Both times I got so relaxed that I floated off into some pleasant dreamland and was gently brought back by her soothing voice. I should also note that she is prompt. If she has a problem that will detain her she lets me know right away, in a very professional manner.

I have had numerous "Spa" massages over the years, but none that would compare to "Stacey's" massage. She is over 100% committed to providing her customers with the best massage you have ever experienced. You can feel it in her touch, in her hands and fingers, she definitely goes above and beyond.

Stacey's massages are wonderful. She is not locked into the "normal massage routine" many masseuses seem to have learned in school. She'll listen to you, find out what needs to be concentrated on, and spend as much time as needed to get the knots out. I highly recommend the 2 hour massage!

I've been getting massages from Stacey for about two years now and I have never had a complaint. She is an extremely talented massage therapist with affordable rates and her schedule is always flexible. She really listens to what I ask for and my body thanks her every two weeks! I recommend her to any one who isn't afraid of getting hooked on her treatments!" : )

Great, convenient massages
Anastasia Netri makes the experience of getting a massage as soothing, relaxing for you as possible. She is willing to concentrate on those areas the you need it most for the whole hour or two if that's what you want. I would recommend the two hour just because it gives her the time needed to really loosen your muscles. On top of all that she is willing to come to your house so that you don't have to venture out in the cold.
"I have only ever had one massage before many years ago. I never wanted another one until my friend bought me one from Stacey. When I went I didn't want to leave. I will continue going back for more. She knows how to make you feel very comfortable and relaxed. If you want someone who knows what they are doing just call Stacey."

I spoiled myself with the massage & facial combo and I am so glad I did. I felt totally comfortable with Stacey from the very beginning. Stacey is incredibly gifted and clearly cares about her clients well being. The massage was wonderful and the facial left my skin feeling soft and rejuvenated. By the end of my wonderfully self-indulgent and affordable combo treatment, I felt totally pampered and relaxed."
Recha W., San Francisco, CA
"Great Massage !! I've never been pampered before and she made it happen. If you are looking for just a special long massage like the 2 hours that I got, give your body a treat after long hours of stressful work with Stacey."
