Licensed acupuncturist and massage therapist Louisa Tomaio founded DEEP RELIEF to help clients reduce their pain through bodywork, nutritional consultations, and acupuncture. Her goal was to ensure that clients receive consistent pressure and results during their massages, eliminating uncertainty about the quality of their experience. At DEEP RELIEF, all massage therapists are licensed, insured, and compensated above industry standards, allowing them to dedicate ample time to relieving their clients' pain. We love their membership program, in which all add-ons are complimentary, enabling you to customize your massage at no extra cost.
