Testimonials

"Adria is one of the most AMAZING healers I have ever met. Her intuition is spot on, her genuine demeanor puts you in the arms of comfort, and problems I've had for months disappear after 1 session with her. BEST INVESTMENT in your health EVER! Please go see her to put yourself back in balance."

“Adria has done body work on me for several years. After experiencing numerous types of massage from Adria's Modality List, I can honestly say that she excels in all the levels. I am particularly impressed with how in tune she is with my body. I would definitely recommend her to everyone.”

"I am grateful to have found Adria Ross as a massage therapist. The acupuncturist who introduced me to her described her as a healer - and I definitely agree with that assessment. Because of chronic knee and shoulder pain, I have received regular massages for the past five years. Adria is one of the most skilled massage therapists I have worked with during this time. From the first massage I had with Adria, I realized she could help me make lasting changes. As a result of working regularly with Adria, I no longer have the constant pain and muscle tightness that used to severely limit my activity. She has also helped me be able to do exercises prescribed in physical therapy - physical therapists in the past told me that tight IT Bands and quads conributed to knee pain, but they were never able to release them properly. A few sessions with Adria released the tight muscles so that I can stretch and strengthen them as prescribed by my physical therapist. Adria is trained in a wide variety of masage techniques and varies the techniques she uses in each massage to best meet my priorities. She listens to me - both what I say and what my body communicates non-verbally. Finally, Adria has helped me to help myself. She has taught me stretches and self-massage techniques to treat myself in order to supplement what she has done, in between our sessions and to help me when I travel. It is truly a pleasure to work with Adria. I wholeheartedly recommend her. "

"Adria has been supporting me in staying healthy, strong, and comfortable for over 10 years now. She has helped me recover functionality, flexibility, and freedom from pain throughout life's misadventures, including chronic shoulder problems, A/C joint separation, shoulder surgery, knee surgery, a pinched nerve in my hip (ouch!), torn abdominal fascia, hand and arm pain from stenosis/bone spurs in my neck, peripheral neuropathy/circulatory problems, tight scalene muscles, vertigo, and (formerly, thank goodness) spending way too much stressed-out time working under deadlines on a computer (muscles were a mess). I'm sure there's more that I've forgotten. She also has supported me and kept me progressing through horseback riding, learning to play fiddle, my first 6 years of martial arts training (just earned my black belt!), and now strength training, too. I would be a wreck - or more to the point, not able to do these things - without her knowledgeable work. Adria uses a variety of modalities, depending on the problem. We've done Thai massage for tight hamstrings/lower-back pain, deep-tissue for knots and trigger points, and circulatory massage. The thing that most surprised and impressed me was cranio-sacral work. It looks and sounds like a load of hooey, and I'm pretty skeptical, but... I was in pain and losing functionality in my hands due to problems in my cervical (neck) spine. I had been doing PT, seeing an orthopedic doc, etc, but that wasn't helping much. In our first cranio-sacral session working on my neck Adria reduced the pain by 70%, and that pain never came back. I was freakin' amazed (and relieved)! It took a few more months (about 6-8 sessions) to fully relieve the symptoms. Now (as long as I'm not stupid about my posture, and don't sit at a desk for hours) I am pain-free and my hands are working fine. Fine! For years! Adria Ross is a highly competent, well-educated professional who can help you restore and maintain functionality so you can keep moving and doing whatever it is you love. Getting regular massages is not cheap, but it's far less expensive (and better for you) than progressively becoming inactive and letting your health fall apart. I highly recommend making massage a priority, and giving Adria a call." Linda Eskin (San Diego, CA)

"I recently started a new activity, and a fitness program. Adria has supported me in using my body correctly, recovering from injuries, and becoming more balanced, strong, and flexible. Massage has helped keep me "in the game" and on track with my goals. It's an investment that pays off many times over (and leaves me feeling great, as well)."

"Since coming to Adria for body & energy work, I have ceased to visit any other therapist. Adria's knowledge of both body & energy, as well as her intuitive instincts for reading my body's needs never cease to impress me!"

"Adria's experience is evident the minute she puts her hands on you. As a massage therapist myself, I am very picky about my massages. And after going to Adria, I hesitate to go to anyone else. She connected with my body the first time as if she'd been massaging me for years. She found areas that I didn't even realize were affecting me, but the difference I felt after her massage showed me how much they were. It is obvious that Adria really loves what she does and truly cares about giving a deeply therapeutic treatment. I highly recommend Adria to anyone who is a massage connoiseur or wants more than just a light superficial massage."

"[Adria] is actually more then a massage therapist. She is an HHP (Holistic Health Practitioner). That’s a lot more training then just a massage therapist. Adria has been trained in a wide variety of modalities from Deep Tissue to Reiki, as well as Fertility Massage. She also does hot stone massage, which is just incredible. I have personally had several incredible sessions with her, and always look forward to the next one."

"I have been a Doctor of Chiropractic for twelve years in San Diego. After having three sessions with Adria I have felt great relief from pain in my arms and back due to the nature of work I do. I will continue to see Adria to keep me healthy and stay in shape to provide all the chiropractic adjustment I do for my patients on a daily basis."

“Adria is a very skilled massage therapist who understands her clients' needs very quickly. The massages she provided our clients were very well received. As a massage therapist, Adria is in a class of her own and provides a high quality massage.” May 2, 2010

"Adria just has that special magical touch. You definitely get the feeling very quickly that she knows what she is doing for some real healing and not just a "feel good" massage. I would recommend her anytime."

"Adria is a true healer. My experiences with her always left me feeling much relieved and relaxed. I would recommend her without hesitation."
