I had a pre-natal massage with howard. I filled out the lengthy pre-massage questionnaire and discussed with him my comfort level. In particular, I wanted him to stay away from my breasts and keep them draped. He said that was no problem, but during the massage, he removed the draping. Then he announced he was going to do an "experiment" and rubbed my left breast and nipple without warning or per...

Read More On Citysearch LTK 6/6/2009 - one of the best massages I've ever hadI have had about 3 or 4 massages from Howard at Village Massage. I have kept coming back because of his professional, relaxed manner and because of the stretches he creates through my shoulders and hips. I practice yoga regularly (about 5 times a week) and am flexible but sometimes need some help to release pressure in my lower back and hips as well as tension in my upper back and shoulders. The ...

I recently had two prenatal massages from Howard. I found him by reading the reviews on this website from people who previously received prenatal massages. I had been to several different places during this pregnancy but could not find someone who seemed to feel comfortable giving a prenatal massage. I left feeling no different than when I went in and they did nothing for my back pain. It alm...

After reading the reviews about Howard, I went ahead and made my appointment. Things I considered before my choice was 1: Personal Service: I did not want to go to a 'chain' massage outlet because I did not want to be rushed or feel anonymous.

If you've had massage where more time was spent tucking and untucking the sheet/blanket over you than you had hands on massage, this is the place to change your experience. Howard will heal your stressed out muscles and joints...or at least make them feel like new.

I'm five months pregnant and have had daily, incapacitating migraine headaches that have stumped the four medical specialists I've seen.
