“I am so happy that we have found someone who truly understands how to provide a massage for the elderly. Emily has been working with my mother who suffers from multiple complications related to her age and every day Emily comes ends up being one of the best days for my mom. Emily has enriched my mom’s life and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is kind and gentle, and helps my mom feel better in a way that I cannot do. Please don’t hesitate to try this. Just do it and you’ll be happy you did. “
