Services
Therapeutic Massage is what we call a traditional massage, because it can be a Swedish massage for relaxation or a deep tissue massage for pain relief OR a combination of both. Our Licensed Massage Therapists tailor each session on an individual basis - based on what you need at that time. These massages are made for the clients who are on the go and need a quick fix! Clients stay fully clothed and we focus just on your main complaint.
All massage is therapeutic in one way or another, but there are different approaches and techniques that our therapists employ to help you get your unique desired outcomes. Some people want to leave a massage feeling like they've gotten everything squeezed out of them like a washcloth, and some people want to leave feeling like they've just done a meditation retreat.
If you've not tried this yet, you should! It's our most popular add-on for a reason: people freaking love it! Proven to decrease inflammation, help with pain, increase relaxation, and decrease stress via topical application without getting your skin high. This is a favorite of some of our therapists even for themselves!
We still encourage you to book couples* massages (see below for how), but over the past year, we have learned that there are benefits to keeping each of you in your own room. Massage therapy, in general, whether for relaxation, pain, or injury, is a very personal experience and a good massage is personalized in every way - from intensity, to talking or not talking, to sound, to scent.
Because you're super busy. Because you have a tiny bit of time available between running the kids around. Because you just don't feel like doing the whole hour thing. Because you'd rather stay fully clothed, for whatever reason. Because you have a specific issue for which you just want some quick intense focus.

I was somewhat uneasy as I had never scheduled a massage with a male therapist. Eric made me feel comfortable immediately. I needed a deep tissue massage for an injury. He was great at working on the knots. He checked to make sure that he was applying the right amount of pressure.as needed with this type of massage, he sought feedback and based treatment on what was needed. I’ve had 2 massages in 5 days and see a difference already. If you need deep tissue work, I strongly recommend Eric

Eric is a skilled and intuitive massage therapist. I felt comfortable with him due to his empathic and compassionate communication style, and his checking in to see if the pressure was too much or too little. He was able to make adjustments as necessary. I felt release of long-held tension, which which was a relief.

Very professional. Eric was very intuitive and applied just the right of pressure in the right places, right direction and right amount of time. Checked in often to assure the pressure was right. Covered and professional at all times. He seemed very invested in assuring that I had a great massage rather than just rubbing another body. Best massage I've had in a very long time.

Today, my partner and I got massages at A Compassionate Hart and let me tell you this was the best possible way we could’ve spent some of our vacation in Erie. The office is so incredibly relaxing and the… space feels private and comfortable. Eric was my therapist and did a great job of walking through the process and completing the treatment. The environment is so friendly and welcoming that I want to travel to Erie more than once a year for a treatment. Thank you to the whole office for making our vacation a relaxing experience!

They don't treat you like a "customer"; more like a friend. While there you are your therapists focus.
I have seen Diana twice for horrible pain in my leg. She knows exactly what to do. I have so much less discomfort. (This after several months of seeing a chiropractor and dr) THANK YOU DIANA!
You won't go wrong putting your trust in any therapist here!

I scheduled my massage on the one day I had off, hoping to get in and was more than able to. It was also my first massage ever, full body and everything, and I don’t think i’ve ever felt more relaxed in my… life! Diana was amazing and as i’ve seen a few others say, she gave the most amazing thorough neck and shoulder massage, while also focusing on everything else that I was having issues with. My neck no longer feels like it’s pulling when I move it to either side. Amazing price, wonderful service, and such nice people and place overall! I will definitely be back
