September is a highly skilled therapist. Her style is present, compassionate, and encourages trust. She has good listening skills and the ability to guide her treatment with great efficiency. September’s touch is educated, strong and thorough when it needs to be, yet gentle and considerate when called for due to a client’s possible emotional issue, a physical trauma or repetitive chronic patterns. September is very gifted.

While I was hiking recently, I slipped and landed on my elbow, injuring my shoulder as a result. During my recovery, I was fortunate enough to find September to work on my shoulder which helped immensely. As a massage therapist myself for over 20 years, I used to receive massages twice a week while I was working on Long Island. Because of my own work experience and the fact that I have received well over a thousand massages, I can say without a doubt that September is one of the best massage therapists I have ever been to. She is both very competent and very thorough.                  ~Sincerely, Steve H ~

I have been seeing September regularly for massage through the last 5 years. Her positive energy, attention to detail, relationship with her clients and talented healing hands have compelled my returns to her office. Even with her many clients and busy schedule, September was also great about communicating with me about when she was available. I will sorely miss her (pun intended)!   ~ Gillian S. 47 attorney ~

I'm a 72 year old active hiker who occasionally overdoes it on my outings and have been quite fortunate to have September as part of my overall self-care for several years.  She has been great about listening to my needs at the start of each session and working on those specific areas to bring me back to optimal shape.  I will miss her touch but know others will find better health with her.       ~Marc L. ~

Exceptional!   September’s massages are one of the most exceptional massages I’ve had.  Her every stroke has a present and intuitive intention which creates a calming and healing sanctuary, where I can release deeply. I felt held and taken care of. The craniosacral work is remarkable and moving.  September’s manner is compassionate and attentive, listening to your every need. Massage has been a part of my health maintenance for decades and I highly recommend September’s work.  ~ Ron P., 70 yrs. young, retired surveyor~

I have seen September Opal regularly for CranioSacral Therapy for the past 3 years and have appreciated how every session I leave with greater alignment, mobility and general physical ease. Although no 2 sessions have been alike in how she works with my body my powerful positive results are consistent. I find her skillful, professional and efficient in her work which supports my ability to relax and surrender to our partnership in the session. In my opinion, September is a master level body worker.  ~Vicki  A. 65yrs  LCSW, Psychotherapist, Reiki Master~

September has been my massage therapist for many years. She is warm and thoughtful and caring---always asking what I needed that day, before she started.  I was impressed many times by her knowledge of where muscles lie, and where they connect.....that led to a lot of pain relief.  She also was very kind to me when my husband had a stroke and was in a nursing home--knowing that she would be working from a bedside, and not her table, seemed not to bother her at all. She gave my dear one solace and comfort, and to me, one of the best days I had in that place. But more than any of that (and it was significant) was her PRESENCE when she was with me during the time of my massage. I always felt "beloved" and safe and therefore was able to drift off to an imaginary space where all is beauty and  warmth and love.  I can't say enough about this special woman. I will miss her so much!            ~Brenda B 71 Retired RN~

I love September. When you meet a Goddess whose senses are there as pathways to love, beauty, & simple appreciation of life, you will heal-- especially when she touches your body with those gifts and you entrain to them, yeah!!  I am so so grateful for her gentle, ever unconditional service!!!   ~Marilyn Twintreess, co-owner, AhhhMuse, author "Stones Alive!
