Krissie has been helpful with flare-ups of a minor back problem and sports related muscle tightness. She also knows precisely where and how to focus the work to relieve built up tension, even tension I might not realize I am holding. Krissie's massage space is welcoming and comfortable. I always look forward to my next massage with her.

I am a new customer and have had deep tissue, Thai, and relaxation massages with Krissie. All have been outstanding and all three are very different styles. I have been impressed by her technical skills and range. My body moved much easier after the deep tissue and Thai massages, and the relaxation massage was a super treat!

Wow….after reading all these amazing reviews I just knew my request for a DEEP tissue massage would be absolutely wonderful. Honestly it was no where near a deep tissue massage, at best it was a Swedish relaxing rub down. I specifically indicated I mountain bike, cycle and hike a lot with specific needs to glutes, low back, neck (from griping bars) - the pressure felt so light It was not enjoyable. I told her if it was too hard I would let her know. Deep tissue means firm hard pressure.
Although she was pleasant and professional I would not recommend for a deep tissue - maybe a Swedish! If you

Positive: Communication, Professionalism, Quality
I've worked with a number of massage therapists over the years. Of the dozens I've had treat me, Krissie is easily one of the best. Her communication is excellent, technique is great, and ability to sense the correct pressure is off the charts. Anyone would be lucky to have her work on them.

Highly recommend! I get frequent massages in the area and decided to try Krissie because of her great reviews. I scheduled a 30 minute deep tissue to address persistent pain in my shoulder, neck, and arm. Without giving her much detail, she dialed in on my aches and I left feeling 100% better. Her space is clean, inviting, and professional. Krissie was friendly and obviously very experienced. I will be visiting her again!

I can’t recommend this business enough and now that I’ve used it several times feel it’s appropriate to right this review. I’ve been a fan of massage for a long time, usually getting 6-8 per year. Krissie does an amazing job and I put her at the top of the list. New to Vermont I tried Tigerfly on a whim, and I’m not looking any further. She pays attention to the details that make the experience great. She listens to what’s bothering you, if anything, and addresses those needs. You’ll not regret a Tigerfly massage!
Even if nothing is bothering you, get a massage because you can’t

Highly recommended if you're looking for a massage therapist in the Burlington area. Krissie has a very soothing and grounded energy which helps quite a bit when transitioning from your usual hectic state of mind into a relaxed state during the massage. She's also very very skilled and was amazed at how well she was able to adapt her technique to all my requests. Her space is super neat and comfortable - her massage table is honestly the softest and most relaxing table I've ever been on.. and it's heated which is perfect for the cold months. Oh and her very cute and quiet dog

Experience was different than most other massages. Krissie worked to explore the areas of my back and shoulders that needed attention (even if I did not realize they were the source of my tension). She mapped these areas and targeted her work to correct them. She worked with purpose and patience to ensure that each area was addressed. Highly recommend paying her a visit.

Krissie is wonderful and I highly recommend her massage services. I was in search of someone who could provide deep pressure in areas to help relieve my pain within a serene, relaxing environment. Her space is beautiful and very comfortable, and I feel like she has gotten to know the areas of tension in my body very quickly. I love the ability to make an appointment on line and provide specific information for my massage. She is very skilled, attentive, and professional. Thank you Krissie, and I can't wait for my next massage.

Krissie is very strong. She is communicative about my needs and incorporates stretching into the massage. Stretching allows access to sore muscle groups via different configurations. She is very supportive and balanced, so I was comfortable receiving the massage on painful and/or weak areas. I also enjoyed the aromatherapy, even though I did not request it specifically.
