“I am a busy Board Certified Orthopedic surgeon practicing Sports Medicine. My surgical practice is very strenuous and puts my body into awkward positions for great lengths of time and I also place strain on my back and neck while lifting patients and manipulating their extremities to perform my surgeries and examinations. This has lead to a lot of pain in my neck, back and throughout my body. I have been able to find amazing relief from my treatments with Tess and Abiola and I have found their expertise and personal attention to my needs as second to none. Not only have I personally benefited from the high-level care at @ Peace Massage and Bodywork, but I have also referred many patients for treatment there as well. I am very cautious who I send my patients to, but over the years, I have found a great level of confidence with the care that Tess and Abiola have provided to my patients and the amazing feedback my patients have given me regarding their time at @ Peace Massage and Body Work.”

“As an orthopedic physical therapist, I value massage therapists who can provide excellent service to my clients during and after their therapy. Tess and Abiola’s training, customer service, and commitment to developing their skills gives me confidence to refer my clients to them, no matter how complex their needs. ”

“I have lived in chronic pain for over 20 years. My pain presents in the form of a migraine, with all the corresponding symptoms: Dizziness, nausea, light sensitivity, noise sensitivity, etc. But perhaps the most uncommon is my body’s response to constant pain. My muscles tighten in bewildering ways. Add to this, 4 years ago I herniated 3 discs in my lower back and had to have spinal surgery. Some days I feel as though my body attacks itself from every angle. Every Saturday morning, for one hour, Abiola Washington and his magic hands calm my turbulent vessel. His energy and his practice allow me to recharge my mental, emotional, and physical batteries every week. I have seen him once a week for over a year and it is the highlight of my week. He is patient and understanding, which allows for trust and honest communication. When you live in constant pain, comfort seems unattainable. As much as words fail me to articulate pain, words fail me to articulate my gratitude for @Peace Massage & Body Work. Tess Falk and Abiola Washington are truly amazing, gifted healers. They bring sunshine to my life.”

“After going to way too many massage therapists to count, I found the one for me. Tess is amazing. Not only is she knowledgeable and thorough, not only does she specialize treatments for the individual, not only is she both intuitive and professional, but she combines all that with great, skilled hands - truly a healer’s touch. I had cervical fusion a few years ago and play a lot of tennis, and she is the only massage therapist I’ve been to who really gets it. She both understands the stress and limitations now prevalent in my neck, she relieves whatever is ailing me, be it muscular, joint, or just plain old aches and pains. I am grateful to her every time I see her, and every time I leave feeling better.”

“My favorite Friday of the month is the Friday I get my massage with Abiola, at @Peace Massage & Bodywork. After a tough class at the Bar Method, my muscles need his healing hands. I always feel comfortable, cared for, and in completely capable hands, while on his table. He is able to use the appropriate amount of pressure to meet my physical needs or ailments, while simultaneously making the massage a relaxing experience. After many years of massages at various establishments, I have found a home! Thanks @Peace Massage & Bodywork.”

“@PEACE is simply the best massage therapy I’ve been to. I have seen probably 20 massage therapists over the past 10 years. Tess’s combination of strength and understanding of anatomy provide specific and powerful solutions to tight and painful areas. Her upbeat and outgoing personality make her appointments really fun.”
