J. Joy Smith Healing Arts

“I had a great experience even before the massage! Joy Smith responded very quickly, communicated clearly, and went out of her way to help me arrange a gift certificate just before Christmas. The process was smooth and stress-free, and I really appreciated the flexibility and kindness. Highly recommend!”

I highly recommend Joy. Her years of experience and her concentrated attention to continuing to educate herself about body mechanics is evidenced by the effectiveness of her work. She is an excellent massage therapist and a kind, warm human.

My sister treated me to a massage, and I had a wonderful experience with Joy. She was so kind, always letting me know what she was doing and making sure I was comfortable. I could have stayed for another hour enjoying the conversation and massage. I would highly recommend Joy, for her professionalism, kindness and ability to create a calming and positive experience. I am sad that I live too far away to set up a regular Bi-Weekly massage but cannot not wait until next year when I will go down to visit my sister while she vacations in Monterey to definitely set up another massage with Joy. Thank you, Joy, it was a pleasure meeting you. See you next year!

Joy is such a beautiful person and fantastic massage therapist! My body was stressed as well as my mind. She has been such a blessing and has made my body and mind feel so much better!!! She has a wealth of knowledge and information on self care and how to take care of your body and mind as well. I would highly recommend working J.Joy Smith’s Healing Arts into your life. You will be amazed at how much better you will feel. Well worth my time and energy. I will continue working with Joy and highly recommend her services . Debbie A.

I was so fortunate finding Joy's practice in Monterey!! Joy is a gem and she welcomed me into her space with care and charm. I appreciated that right away she seemed to understand the kinds of bodily experience I had been feeling. She offered several techniques of bodywork including craniosacral massage, lymphatic drainage, and deep tissue massage with a therapeutic touch. She also shared helpful perspective on lifestyle, posture, breathing exercises, and stretches I can do. Each session felt delightfully balancing and refreshing.
