Lynette Sprowls says :

When I first started going to Irma I suffered from migraine headaches, vertigo, fatigue and neck and back pain.  I have been receiving treatments from Irma on a regular basis now for around 2 years and I am happy to say she has greatly improved my health. Within 4 months of Irma massaging me, my migraines were gone. I had been suffering from these problems for some time and had seen doctors at John Hopkins University Hospital, George Washington University Hospital as well as 5 other neurologist and had several medical procedures done, none of these doctors or procedures worked, they all just made me worse and polluted my body with chemicals. I have chosen to take a homeopathic approach to my health issues and Irma has been a wonderful addition to my medical team. She understands and respects my natural approach so she is always giving me tips and advice on natural remedies. She shows me things to do in between massages to help my condition. It is nice to have someone to discuss my issues with other than my doctor.Irma has used different techniques to help me, she uses deep tissue massage, reflexology and cleansing. All of these methods have worked well but I have had the most apparent results from the reflexology. I highly recommend Irma for a massage therapist. If you give her time and you actively work with her to make yourself better, you will not be dissapointed with the results.

Sincerely,                                                                                                                                  Lynette Sprowls  (2008)

    Life as a former multi-sport athlete and currently a martial arts instructor had finally taken its toll on my physical health. While under a physician care since 2006 for an arthritic degeneration of the spine condition, Irma’s massage therapy was offered as a means of supplementing the physician’s treatments. Soon thereafter, Irma left no doubt that her credentials are well-earned. Besides treating the chronic pains associated with my back condition, her unmatched skill led her to other trouble-spots on my body. Irma is the only person I have trusted to manage my muscular discomfort that goes hand-in-hand with all the movements involved with being a dedicated martial artist. She has ridden my body of muscle aches from my neck down to my feet. Next, Irma zeroed in on my circulation issues. I was also diagnosed with Peripheral Artery Disease, a circulatory problem in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to your limbs. Irma has used her mastery of reflexology to improve nerve stimulation and relieve the leg pains I experience while walking or teaching class. Father time will not allow my body to age backwards, so at my age (52) and given my schedule (husband, father, full-time employee, martial arts instructor, etc.,), being in Irma’s care allows me to maintain the strength and flexibility needed to support all these demands on my time. Irma has the perfect blend of charisma, humility, and utmost dedication to her craft that you are naturally attracted to. You will find the entire massage process fulfilling and educational, as Irma demonstrates how she cares for you by providing practical tips on how to care for just about any ailment you may be experiencing. Irma is a talented and caring professional and I highly recommend her as your next and last massage therapist.

    Yours Truly,

    Mickey Edwards (September 2011)

  2. Hope Barwig says:

    I have been seeing Irma for well over a year now. At first I sought her treatment for general stress related neck, shoulder and back pain, but soon I found myself needing specialized treatment after being treated for cancer. Irma was able to reduce the affects of scar tissue buildup and elimate swelling due to loss of lymph nodes. She is a gifted massage therapist and wonderful healer of aches and pains and I still visit here regularly to reduce the affects of stress and aging.

  3. Lydia H says:

    Irma’s massages have greatly improved my quality of life. Her ability to run her hands over me and know exactly where I need relief is truly a gift. I suffer from chronic muscle pain, diabetes and digestive problems. Many times I have procrastinated and attempted to deal with the aches and pains on my own only to have to call Irma for relief. Irma’s prompt responses are a clear indication of her love and compassion to providing people with relief. This is not an occupation she practices but a love for the art and the gift she has.
    She is very knowledgeable, up to date and current with treatment procedures and practices. When you walk into Irma’s, her environment creates an automatic feel of calm and peace, you just feel naturally comfortable.
    My husband had never had a massage and had no desire to have one, as a disabled veteran he suffers with constant knee, back and shoulder pains. As he became acquainted with Irma from my visits, he agreed to schedule a visit with Irma and was taken aback of how wonderful and comfortable he felt from Irma’s massage. Just another confirmation of how wonderful a visit with Irma can be.
    Irma is a phenomenal therapist and I know anyone who books a treatment from Irma will be pleased and delighted with the results. Most importantly, Irma cares about you as an individual and is totally in tune with your specific needs.
    I would encourage anyone, young or old to seek out a visit with Irma. It will change your life.

  4. Sonja Phillips says:

    I have been going to Irma for over six months for treatment of fibromyalgia and sciatica back pain. Irma is truly an expert therapist and has used massage and reflextology to bring relief to my many muscle aches and pains. She has an amazing gift and really cares about the well-being of her clients. I am thankful to have found her. I’ve been to multiple therapists for over 25 years and none are as good as Irma. During fibromyalgia flare-ups, Irma goes out of her way to accommodate my short notice needs for massage. I highly recommend others seeking to feel better to contact Irma for an appointment….you’ll be glad you did.

    Sincerely,
    Sonja Phillips (September 2011)

  5. Brian Green says:

    I’ve been seeing Irma for about 2 years for issues related to having 2 bad discs in my back. Routine visits to Irma lets me keep a very active lifestyle. I’ve had message therapy before Irma, but it wasn’t as effective. Irma’s touch is truly gifted, and I know I wouldn’t be moving very well if it weren’t for her.

    • irma says:

      Thank you so much Brian …

  6. Ronda Davis says:

    I count down the days, until it’s time to see Irma again! I enjoy her calm, healing touch/voice/presence. Irma has worked with me to manage the pain I have from Fibromylagia. I find that her massage has helped me to keep my pain to a manageable level. I find Irma to be knowledgeable and able to address my problem areas with a variety of techniques including using a jade tool, using warm/hot towels and using her “magic oil” which I LOVE!

    I highly recommend Irma for massage as healing or relaxation.

  7. Pamela Famiglietti says:

    I met Irma back in 2007. When I was pregnant with my Son I hurt my tailbone. I went to a Chiropractor thinking that would solve my problem. After a few unsuccessful attempts the Chiropractor recommended that I see a Medical Massage Therapist to loosen the area, then to come back. I went to Irma. I laugh now thinking “Oh no, if the Dr. couldnt help me I dont think this little petite Lady will be able to”….. BOY WAS I WRONG!!! She is so strong but so gentle at the same time?! Its like she really has a way of knowing exactly how to maneuvere through every mucsle, tissue, etc and gets right to the very root of the problem! Long story short, she fixed the problem the first try!! Saved me alot of money in future unsuccessful Chiropractic visits too! I have since been a long time loyal client. I have gone to her for many other issues: Post surgical lymphatic massage, Migranes (cured instantly), Sports Injuries, Deep tissue massage, Reflexology, etc.
    Dont waste your money going to a spa! I did that once when I was out of town, BIG mistake – I am so spoiled by Irma that I just got frustrated with the masseuse because I was trying to tell him how to do it like Irma, I dont think he liked that! (LOL)

  8. Rocque Kramer says:

    Testimonial

    Irma has the unique talent of understanding the physical and emotional connections between mind and body. Her techniques enable the reduction of lactic acid from the core muscles and promote blood circulation that may in fact reduce calories by as much as 500 per session. More importantly she knows how to produce the mental relaxation through massage that enable a change in outlook and attitude in positive ways. She is a gifted and intelligent practitioner of her art. After major back surgery in 2009 she restored much of the tissue sensation near the large scar and eliminated the scar ligatures near the site. Recently, I used the spa facilities at the Homestead resort in Hot Springs, VA and no one came close to her in terms of her knowledge and skills. I certainly hope she stays in this business for my own selfish reasons but I know she has the acumen and exceptional awareness to do anything she desires.

    • irma says:

      Thank you ever so much Rocque …
      Rocque Kramer has been my regular patient since early 2009, before his surgery and become steadily ( or more religiously 🙂 ) coming weekly after the surgery ( in April 2009 ) until now and hopefuly for many more years to come.

  9. Stephany Suarez says:

    I began going to Irma after I noticed how much my mom’s health improvement and relaxation came from Irma’s massages and treatments. I have to say I’m very glad I decided to start going, aside from being such a great massage therapist Irma is a great person – quite a character! She’s taught me a lot about pressure points on my feet, which I regularly practice on myself now as well as pressure points on my hands – especially ones for thyroid and diabetes which I am diagnosed with. I go to Irma about once every month and I look forward to it every time. If you’re ever feeling tense, stiff, stressed – trust me, Irma will make you feel a million times better, Thanks for everything Irma 🙂

  10. Irma’s Touch is unique. She will heal your body, your soul and your mind. She has these professional massage therapist hands that heal your body, inspired by her profound spiritual belief in thee good of human being.I really love her and recommend her healing hands,five years ago she gave me back my strength after I suffered a very serious pelvis fracture.
    She has touched with her healing hands my daughter, my grand daughter and my grand son and we all look for her. Thank you my dear Irma for being there for us every time we need you. We all love you.

    My wife recommended Irma for my many athletic-type injuries. In a very short time, Irma has helped the healing process for my legs, knees and feet, subsequent to several surgeries. She is very professional and has a superb personality–very pleasant and nice. She truly cares about you–the patient. I highly recommend her.

    It’s a life time experience with Irma’s touch, my neck and shoulder almost pain free after one session. I can’t wait for my next session. Truly health is better than wealth, prevention is better than cure. Irma you are the best.

  13. Vcovey says:

    I have been coming to Irma for a year now and She is always in tune with the stresses on my body. Her advice is always helpful, ie the lymph drain we just did. I was amazed at the results. Also, the reflexology she performed to help me with gastrointestinal issues.

    She is more than a massage therapist she understands your body and listens to what you are saying about what is going on. Besides, I love that she reminds me of my appt. 🙂

  14. Anne P says:

    I had met Irma while seeing a Chiropractor for neck and low back pain. Irma’s massage therapy greatly improved my pain . I have now been seeing Irma for about 6 months on a regular basis for shoulder and mid-back tightness due to working on a computer most days. I have seen a drastic improvement in my back and my general health. I no longer have as much tightness, but continue to go to Irma regularly for maintenance sessions. Irma is a truly talented Massage Therapist and a wonderful person. I don’t know how I survived without her. Irma you are the BEST!

  17. Heather says:

    Joyful, Gracious, Healing Spirit.

    Yes, Irma is exceedingly qualified in a wide array of methods which others attest to here. And, she provides a safe and peaceful retreat for healing and rejuvenating. Most importantly though, Irma’s ability to listen with her ears, her touch, and her spirit sets her apart from other providers. She cares for her clients with a joyful graciousness that is hard to properly describe with words.

  18. Mona Tisler says:

    I have been a client with Irma for over six years. She has helped during my pregnancy, with locked shoulders and my carpel tunnel. I especially appreciate being able to relax while under her care and let Irma work out all my stress knots. She is an asset to the massage therapy community. I look forward to every visit!

    • Frank Redner says:

      I met Irma through a friend who has fibromyalgia. My friend would tell me how much better she felt after Irma’s massage treatments. Irma brought relief to her aches and pains. I started seeing Irma nearly two years ago and more frequently over the past year. While I am in good health, an avid runner, and over 50 – I enjoy the monthly deep tissue massages as they flush the lactic acid from my quads and hamstrings, help prevent injuries by catching tight areas before they become problematic and even more so I feel soooo relaxed afterwards. Irma – you and your hands rock! Thanks for keeping me in good health and running longer!

        Day 29 of Marathon training: Goal: 5 miles @ Half Marathon Pace (7:30-7:40/mile). Finished 5 miles in 37:38 (7:32/mile). Super strength training workout this morning that focused on my core with Trinity Perkins. Fantastic deep tissue massage yesterday evening from Irma Reeves.

  19. Deborah Jacques says:

    The only thing I can say is that I don’t go nearly enough for Irma’s massages. I have lower back pain, and I remember one time going to her and being extremely stiff in my lower back. I told her what I was experiencing and also that she might not be able to even touch me on that area. Little did I know and before it was all over, she was able to massage my lower back with no sensitivity on my part. I have not met anyone more professional than Irma. I have been to her for massages many times and each time I really don’t want to get up off the table when she is done. Last time I was there, I fell asleep as she was doing the massage. I woke of when she said, “okay–all done”. Let me just say —you won’t go wrong to visit her when you are in pain and need relief. Irma’s the best.

    I have been going to Irma for the past several years. Initially, I needed her help with injuries due to a car accident. She helped me tremendously – both physically and spiritually, thanks to her insight and wisdom where dealing with life is concerned. I have continued on with Irma for various reasons, including stress reduction, a foot injury, and most recently, female problems for which she has treated me with reflexology and made a believer out of me, as my symptoms went away immediately. The most astounding result I have experienced at the hand of Irma’s touch was when I
    had been experiencing vision problems in my right eye – to the point that I was seeing double while driving to Irma’s for a treatment. She worked on the parts of my right foot that are linked to the right eye (reflexology) and I went from seeing double to being able to see perfectly clear on the ride home. I was blown away by that, and still am !

  22. June Wynn, LCSW says:

    I have been a psychotherapist for thirty years. I believe in an integrative approach to wellness for my patients as well as myself. The key to this approach is finding people who are healers as part of your health team. Through the years I have encountered a few such people. Irma Reeves stands out as one of the best. I struggle myself with many chronic health challenges that Irma successfully helps me handle. She is able to determine by her well developed sixth sense which of her many approaches will benefit you at the moment and utilize the combination that brings the best relief. I have referred my patients who are also pleased, sometimes amazed by her healing abilities.

    Those who are searching for relief are fortunate to encounter Irma. I highly recommend her as a skilled healer.

    Gratefully,
    June Wynn,LCSW

      Thank you so much June Wynn … one can really feels the testimonial written by an experienced LCSW.
      June and her husband Dr. Jeff Wynn has been coming regular since 11/16/2012, they waited patiently for their first sessions after my yearly trip to Indonesia.

  23. I have enjoyed the reflexology and medical massage that Irma has given me every other week for the last few months. I feel relaxed and invigorated after 90 minutes of her mastery. Good health requires more than just what traditional medicine has to offer. Irma has a high level of knowledge to improve the human body through her many trained talents and expertise. I highly recommend going to Irma to improve your well being.

    Sincerely,
    Jeffrey I Wynn, O.D.

  24. Laurie Bennett says:

    Irma Reeves is blessed with the ability to heal-a true gift. Before seeing Irma, I had previously sought out massage from several different massage therapists primarily as a means for relaxation. Never had I imagined “Irma’s Touch” would provide far more for my wellness than just relaxation.

    Since I was plagued with chronic insomnia and other health issues, a friend, who has been Irma’s patient for several months, recommended that I see her. Irma was able to pinpoint my health problems and recommend modalities for real relief. Her healing was so remarkable, I went to see her three times the first week! I have been seeing her regularly for the past 4 months. My husband sees her regularly, as well.

    Irma has incorporated reflexology, massage therapy, lymph drainage massage, and, for the past 2 months or so, Reiki as part of my treatment protocol. I am sleeping better and my other health issues have greatly improved. She has the keen awareness of what is necessary for me at each session. I completely trust her and her ability.

    Additionally, Irma is a Reiki Master and I was so impressed with her skill, I took her Reiki I class which she held at her office. She suggested reference materials with which to prepare before the class and her approximately 3 hour Sunday class was well organized and comprehensive. Her instructional materials, handouts, and knowledgeable teaching manner well prepared me as a Reiki I. I look forward to her Reiki II class and highly recommend those interested to learn from this true healer.

    If you have any issues that interfere with your complete wellness, take my friend’s advice, now my advice, and “Go see Irma!”

    Respectfully,
    Laurie Bennett

Brunch with our friends who stayed the night here after the Janis Joplin show, a very nice swim and chat with Jean, the best massage, reflexology, and Reiki from Irma- a miracle worker, and a sweet talk with our baby about her weekend. Off to sleep relaxed and content.

  25. Carol Mazzenga says:

    My name is Carol Mazzenga and I have been receiving regular medical massage from Irma Reeves for the last 9 months. I am currently being treated for nerve damage in my neck and upper back due to arthritis. The treatments that Irma has given me have improved my daily living. While there is nothing than can reverse the pain, numbness and tingling in my arms, her gentle hands have helped to truly relax this area and relieve the tension that builds up betweenvisits. I can also highly recommend her practice of reflexology. I had been suffering with a head cold and almost canceled my appointment, but on that day she focused on my head and specific areas on my feet and that seemed to cure it overnight! The next day at work people were amazed as my symptoms were almost completely gone. Irma is a talented and caring professional and I would highly recommend her treatments if you are looking for massage therapy.

    Sincerely, Carol Mazzenga

    Irma is genuinely caring and very knowledgeable massage therapist. She has the most wonderful hands you can ever imagine. They are strong , yet you never leave feeling sore or bruised like other massages. She will fix every alignment you have and make you feel new again. She incorporates different techniques and reflexology into her treatments . As a physical therapist , I can tell you she is amazing at what she does and now that I have had her magical hands take my aches and pains away, I will highly recommend her to everyone !

    Irma has been working with me for the past almost 5 years now (since 2008). I suffer from chronic back, neck and shoulder pain (arthritis is taking over) as a result of a couple of accidents many years ago. With regular monthly visits for Irma’s Touch, my pain is much much less and very manageable – no meds required!! I am so very happy to have Irma’s healing hands and reflexology in my arsenal of health management and I look forward to sessions with Irma for many years to come!

    I’ve been seeing Irma for about 5 months. I was released from PT with a strong recommendation to start getting medical massages. A friend referred me to Irma and I’ve been extremely pleased! I suffered from chronic neck, head and shoulder discomfort. Irma has done a great job of relieving my discomfort and I now go for several days and even a week at a time with little or no discomfort. Irma takes an active interest in the entire physical welfare of her patients. She starts each session by carefully listening to any problems or issues I’ve had since my last visit. She adjusts her treatment based on the information I share with her. In addition to her wonderful massages, Irma shares her knowledge of herbal medicines and teas, the benefits of yoga and many other preventative health topics during our sessions. There’s no doubt that Irma has had a positive impact on my overall physical well being and I intend to continue seeing her for a long time!

  31. Annise and Jeff Crawford says:

    I have been seeing Irma for years now, I have found that her appraoch and techniques are extremely benefical to my overall health and well-being. Her focus on my chronic trouble areas have allowed me to exercise and consequently gain improved physical health thru exercise and weight loss.
    My husband has even expierecned the benefits of Irma’s Touch thru work on his trouble areas. Irma has been accessible to fitting him in her days on as needed basis. Irma’s accesiblity and flexibility has been very much appreiacted in his treatment.

    Thank you Irma…
