I was gifted a gift certificate for a prenatal massage with Deborah. Being almost 8 months pregnant and wanting a great massage seems like the impossible thing to accomplish (as it's hard to get comfortable even just sitting on the couch). But Deborah was AMAZING! It was honestly one of the best massages I've ever had and I've had A LOT and am quite picky. I asked for medium pressure and she delivered it perfectly! Her place is a hidden gem but she has created a very relaxing and intimate environment. I not only will be back but will be sending others here! A total 5 star

Deborah is amazing! Her space is cute and charming. Very clean. Very relaxing. The work she's done on my distressed lower back had been a Godsend. She's kind, patient, & listens to what you need/want. She has no agenda, is not ego driven at all - she is a caregiver in every sense of the word. She's attentive and flexible. She has been so understanding of my pain. I can't recommend her enough. She's very affordable and I'm in love with her place. Support small business! Go see her.

Deborah is incredible! As is Hands on Relief, which truly lives up to its name.
As someone who works a fairly stressful job, taking time to take care of myself (exercise, massages, healthy eating, yoga, meditation, etc) has become exceedingly important. Deborah's massages are amazing, really. She asks you where your pain points, if any, are and adjusts her approach per your requests. And, if you're someone like me who is still learning about which part(s) of your body need extra attention, she is good about helping you figure that out.
Plus, Deborah is kind and offers up good conversation, if

I can't say enough good things about Deborah at Hands on Relief. I am a long time return customer and each time I come in for massage work I leave feeling relaxed as well as truly getting relief from muscle aches and my sciatic pain. Deborah is attentive in not only listening to what you need vocally but she can read what your body needs while she works. The environment is inviting and I love the decor, warm massage table and dim lighting which helps me take that necessary time out of my hectic schedule. I'll be back!

Deborah Flynn gave me one of the deepest, thorough massages I've ever had. Her hands are strong and she offered me a choice of pressure from light to deep. I intend to follow up with her. She is moving to Highland Park, so shell still practice in the neighborhood. I also have to add that she's been in business for 25 years and has worked on Bruce Springsteen, INXS, Santana among other known star musicians.

I just had the most wonderful massage with Deborah! I never thought id find anyone in the suburbs who matched the excellence of the therapist I see in the city (its just a pain to get down there when i need it) but i think i may have found someone now! And she is so sweet to boot! She focused on my areas of pain and I can honestly say that I've never felt so relaxed after a massage. I wanted to go home and sleep haha. I will definitely be making future appointments with her :)
The only thing i wished was that parking had been easier to find. There are spots out front but they were all

What a wonderful experience! My husband and I both received massage from Deborah and will definetly be booking more appointments. She focused on my back and neck where I was experiencing majority of pain and she was able to sooth my experience. My husband was hesitant to get a massage as he had not had one before and absolutely loved it. Overall great experience and wonderful therapist - very friendly and knows what she's doing!
