Rob wrote: First off, I have seen Simon for almost a year now on a regular basis.  Never once was I disappointed.  Regardless of your massage needs, he will give you one of the best that you have ever had, period.  Further, Simon is just a great person in general, always kind and open to your feedback.  He wants to ensure that you are a client for life, and I certainly plan on being that!
 
Marilyn wrote: Simon is very knowledgeable about what he does.  He uses excellent pressure throughout the session, excellent stretches and smooth transition between techniques.  His sessions are relaxing and beneficial.  He is well-trained and will continue to be very successful as a therapist.
 
Dave wrote: I have been receiving massages from Simon for a year now and for the first time since my injury years ago I can truly say that I am pain free. He continually strives to perfect his massage technique and to understand the body. His passion to help his clients is amazing and refreshing. He is intuitive in finding those problem areas in my body before I can tell him. I would highly recommend him to any of my friends. Simon is very caring and charismatic and you will not be disappointed with his quality of service & knowledge.
 
Patricia wrote: Simon gives a comprehensive massage.  He addresses every area of my concern, neck, shoulders, lymphatic system.  The thorough lymphatic drainage and the massage on the back and feet were wonderful.  Continue giving excellent massages that fit the clients' needs!
 
Virginia wrote:  First and foremost, Simon approaches his work with clients with the commitment that he is their partner.  This translates to an unbelievably supportive and nurturing atmosphere where you feel you can honestly communicate your massage goals and specific needs and issues.  I have been working with Simon only for the good part of a year, but I have already experienced amazing results -- chronic low back problems for decades -- are working their way to newfound comfort.  His energy balancing has worked wonders for me.  His feedback has also helped me work with my trainer at the gym on specifics related to my body and muscles that has increased the benefit I get from my workouts!!  An added bonus of working with Simon -- he's the real deal in terms of caring, he has a great sense of humor and he is always seeking additional knowledge that will help his clients.

Scott wrote:  I started seeing Simon about approximately a year ago.  He helps keep my body in good working order.  I am a competitive athlete and need good bodywork to correct the abuse I put myself through on a regular basis.  His passion for what he does is unmatched and I feel privileged that I've been able to experience his growth as he progressed through Irene's massage program.  His caring demeanor, his enthusiasm for understanding the various components of the body and desire to be the best at what he does is refreshing.

Tom wrote:  Twice a month massages by Simon Raffel for almost a year now have produced positive results.  A chronic issue with lower left back pain has all but cleared up.  A problem with my knee treated through his use of lymphatic massage and energy work resulted in healing without surgery.  Simon is intuitive and knows what massage work he needs to do each time.  He is a warm, caring individual, and I felt comfortable with him from my very first session. I leave relaxed, and the contentment from the session carries over into the next day.  I highly recommend Simon to anyone who is considering a massage.
