Therapeutic Bodywork with Alison Luke

Alison is a godsend! She is an extremely knowledgeable and skilled practitioner. I’ve been a client for two+ years and started seeing her due to a shoulder injury.

I felt immediately at ease with her, both through her caring manner and the questions she asked. The minute I got on the table, I wished I’d booked a longer massage. Alison worked out so much of the muscle tension in my body, identified areas I could work on at home, and is great at working my fascia. I l
