I just had another massage by Liz. I have become a repeat customer! She sits down and listens to what you need worked on that day and then works on that area. I knew I had a few knots in my neck/shoulder area and I could almost feel the knots releasing as she worked on them. The atmosphere is very relaxing, I dont feel rushed at all. I highly recommend Liz!
Liz is simply the best massage therapist ive been to. She has helped me with pain i have from being a dental hygienist and gardener. I refer every family and friend that needs a therapeutic massage here. She cares so deeply for her clients and i am grateful to have her! You must, Must, MUST come here!
Liz @ A Touch Above is absolutely the best! Ive been going to her for at least15 years, and without all the benefits of massage therapy, I wouldnt still be playing golf at my age. Liz keeps my back and muscles in shape to handle all the twisting, turning, and bending needed not only for golf but for just getting around without aches and pains! And besides, it feels great! Good for both the body and mind! I recommend A Touch Above without hesitation. Liz is knowledgeable, very personable, professional and excellent at both the science and technique of massage therapy.
Liz is an incredible massage therapist:I found her in the phone book quite some time ago and decided to take a chance after a conversation about my issues and her assurances that she is very familiar with the deep tissue therapy I was looking for.My extended sessions proved to be all I expected and more. Liz found all the parts that were sore and hurt and worked them with much care. After the session I felt wonderfully refreshed and my pain was gone. I had a number of appointments and each time I felt better.I look forward to seeing Liz again for another tune up. Liz you are the Best!!! Margit Vogel
Liz is amazing at finding the spots in your body that need manipulation and working those areas so that you always leave feeling better than when you arrived. Could not recommend her highly enough. My life is less painful with her in it
I have been a client of Liz for over 5 years. She generously spends time trying to pinpoint problem areas prior to the session and is exemplary in providing fascia and deep tissue massage to relieve pain, knots and muscle stiffness. I always look forward to my monthly therapy sessions.
Like a lot of people, I suffer from tight muscles largely caused by long days spent working at a desk. Liz is a myofascial release massage therapist, which means she uses sustained pressure to break down adhesions between tissues, freeing up muscles to enable easier and more effective movement. She is AMAZING! I have been making regular visits to Liz for years now and view her massage therapy as an essential part of maintaining good health - in the same category as eating well, exercising, and getting enough sleep. She has hands of gold. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
I highly recommend Liz if you are looking for a massage for injuries or non medical reasons. She is knowledgeable and really listens to your needs. The office is clean and calming, very relaxing.
Once you start going to Liz at A touch above, it’s impossible to want a massage from anyone else! She is wonderful at what she does and knows how to work on any knot to make you feel so much better! I highly recommend especially since it’s just her office it’s very comfortable and private without passing anyone :) plus she does pet massages for all those other animal lovers out there!
Liz was amazing. she took the time to listen to me to get as much information about my issues without ever rushing me. She was very professional and did an outstanding job. Best massage I have had. I will be back.
I have been seeing Liz at A Touch Above for over 4 years now, and I won’t go anywhere else! I have Fibromyalgia as well as some bulging disc issues, and Liz is great at knowing exactly what I need. She is very careful to make sure she only does what your body can handle. She’s amazing and truly cares about the clients she treats. Not to mention she provides a nice tranquil experience the whole time. She even remembers the little detail that I love the heat turned on on the table even in the summer! I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. 100% highly recommend. You will never want to go anywhere else after you go here just one time.
Ive been a client of Lizs for years, and she never fails to help me whenever Im experiencing the discomfort of muscle spasm and tightness. She is a very talented professional who can easily customize your session, she listens with a caring ear, and she provides a safe, comfortable, peaceful environment. Very highly recommended!
I would highly recommend A Touch Above. Liz is a great message therapist. Very professional and has great technique. Been going to her for many years. I am a runner, have constant leg soreness and feel so much better after a session.
Ive been going to Liz regularly for over 5 years. I work hunched over a computer and dont exercise or stretch nearly enough. When I show up, Im a tense stressed-mess. When I leave, I feel like I can go back out and face the world again! Ive had massages at several spas, on cruises, and even had a Heavenly Massage membership, etc. Lizs unique techniques are truly a touch above any standard Swedish, deep tissue, or hot stone massage Ive ever had.
Ive been to multiple massage therapists over the years and have found everyone has their own techniques and methods. Lizs personalized myofascial release (I call it muscle whispering) technique is amazing. It somehow has the magic ability to wind down your tension over time. Day 1 is good, day 2 is better and day 3 still better. I dont know why that is, but the level of tension release is more complete than anything Ive ever experienced in massage therapy. A Touch Above is the best value youll find for massage therapy!
Liz is a very talented massage therapist. She is a careful listener and seems to know just how to make the pain melt away. Easy to book appointments online. Clean and comfortable facility.
Just home from another wonder massage with Liz. She asks all the right questions to know where and what to focus on, uses just the right touch, leaving you to walk out feeling like a brand new person.
Liz is fantastic! Very professional, listens to whatever issues you are dealing with and expertly treats the problem(s). She is extremely skilled and has provided me with relief for a number of issues over the years. I encourage you to make an appointment with her today!
Liz has been the best helping me. Always polite and professional. Massage environment is very relaxing and comfortable. Would recommend!
I have been going to Liz off and on for over 10 years. I have been to many other places and no one is able to compare.Liz use to help me as a endurance athlete. I have finished multiple ironman triathlons and over 20 ultra marathons. Liz was able to help me reach the starting line.
The 45 minute massage I had today went beyond my expectations. The muscles in my neck and shoulders are relaxed and happy! I highly recommend Liz as a massage therapist professional. I know I will be a steady, satisfied customer.
I used Touch Above repeatedly. I have enjoyed many massages from all over. Hers (Lizs) are among the Best Ive ever had! Very professional. Very relaxing!
Liz is a true professional and knows the treatments she needs to do to address your problems. Shes a good communicator and will apply the pressure that works for you.
Ive been a customer of Liz Florine for about ten years now and have never needed an alternate. She is the tops in her field and I sincerely hope that she doesnt move to California before I meet the BIG MASSAGE THERAPIST IN THE SKY .... me and my creaky bones would really miss her...
Very comfortable private office space, great atmosphere, kind and professional massage therapist, and a wonderful massage. What else could you want?
My dogs love the way they feel when the massage is done. Liz does an amazng job.
Walked in in pain, back, head acke Leg, I m feeling better, knowledgeable magic hands
Liz listens carefully to any physical issues that I am having & tailors each massage to those issues. I have been a client for over 12 years.
Friendly, quiet, and provides a very relaxing message.
Highly recommend. A truly wonderful, relaxing experience..
Very calming ambiance. Great professionalism. Therapeutic massage was very relaxing and helped all the overworked areas.
Beyond a regular massage, A Touch Above provides intense therapeutic massage therapy.
Excellent dog massages. She makes our border collie feel at ease.
Professional, knowledgeable, and really helps relieve pain.
Super effective and professional yet caring. Highly recommended!
Liz is helping me reclaim full, pain free movement after shoulder surgery. Before coming to her office, I had almost resigned myself to “good enough” recovery. Physical therapy had helped with movement, but not the scar tissue. Liz’s deep yet sensitive work on breaking down the deep scar tissue and freeing up the myofascial tissue is a wondrous gift. She is a good listener to my concerns, a skilled practitioner and deeply attuned to what the body needs. I can now do all the things I love pain free, including strength training and gardening a large yard at age 74!

2021-11-18Excellent! I am writing this review because I am so grateful for previous reviewers. If it weren’t for them, I would not be experiencing massages with Liz. Thank you!!I was extremely nervous the first time I had a massage (first time ever—in my 50s). Liz put me at ease immediately. She is a great listener and she tailors the massage specifically for my needs. The environment is comfortable and serene. I see Liz because I have an extremely stressful job. Yes!!! It works wonders for stress and anxiety management. Liz has also greatly reduced or eliminated muscle pain or foot pain. If you are trying to find a great massage therapist who is clearly experienced, caring, and pleasant—I highly suggest you give A Touch Above a call. I’m so glad I did!!!

2022-06-03Liz is by far the best masseuse Ive ever had. She focuses on my problem areas and I always walk away feeling so much better. The massages are both relaxing and productive. I consider my visits to A Touch Above as an essential part of my wellness and self-care routine.

2022-07-08Liz is great: she has a wonderful personality for massage - great aura. Office is calming from the moment you walk in. Very good massage - myofascial is slower and slightly different than hot stone or deep tissue, but invaluable none the less. Liz has multi-visit plans - everyone should get a massage once a month. Self care people! And she does dog massage, too. Lucky dogs (lol).

2022-05-16Liz is a great massage therapist, my body truly feels better afterwards, including how I am sleeping at night. My main complaint is my right hip, which often prevents me from sleeping on my right side. Ever since Ive been seeing Liz, I can sleep on my right side most nights!! I highly recommend her...

2022-03-22Went to Liz today because I had a problem with my hamstring. I was very impressed with the way she manipulated the muscle and it didnt hurt nearly as bad getting off the table. I know the pain will probably come back since its not cured with only one session but I will be back. She did a great job and really knows her stuff!

2021-10-20Liz is an absolute healer! Her place of business is calming, welcoming and professional. I suffer from severe Sciatica discomfort and when I am in Liz care she gives me a tremendous amount of relief from such chronic pain. Liz is amazing. A true healer of the craft of massage therapy. Liz watches out for YOUR total well being; she makes certain that you know to rest afterwards to allow you body to achieve full benefits from the massage session.

2021-10-17I would highly recommend Liz for your massage therapy needs! She is an exceptional massage therapist that really listens and is professional, kind, and thorough. I left her office feeling like a new person, and the benefit of it continues. You will not be disappointed!

2022-03-17Amazing 90 minute massage! It was a full 90 minutes, not 90 minutes from when you go in the room, it was 90 minutes from when Liz began! She was very cognizant not to push too much when there was a tight muscle(s). Definitely recommend and will be going back!

2021-10-18Liz sat with me prior to the massage determining what my actual needs/aches/pains were, and asked me where I felt she should focus her efforts. We spoke for around 10 minutes and I received the full hour of massage that was targeted where I benefitted most. Liz was very thorough in the areas I had the most stress and tightness, and I was very pleased with how I felt afterwards. I highly recommend you give her a call, you will be happy you did.
