On my second visit with Soren, I booked a two-hour session after he responded quickly to my availability question. From the moment he opened his door, his warmth and professionalism were clear. He asked detailed questions about my health and pain points—I mentioned sciatic pain shooting down the back of my left leg that had been keeping me awake at night. Throughout the massage, the different techniques he employed were excellent, and he constantly checked in to ensure the pressure and my comfort were right. When I got off the table, the pain was completely gone, and my sleep has improved dramatically since. He has a real gift in his hands.
