From Prairie House Clients:
"That was the best massage I've ever had!"
Jessica, Univ. Notre Dame graduate student
"One patient who suffered a serious stroke was left with significant headaches and neck pain;
medications did not seem to give her a moment of relief. But the healing touch of Jeff's massage therapy relaxed her for the first time during her hospitalization and gave her some much deserved relief from the pain. I would recommend Jeff to any of my patients, friends or colleagues."
-Beth, MD "Jeff is attentive, skilled and knowledgeable; he gave me excellent advice for painful tendinitis and a referral for a chiropractor...overall my experience of Jeff's practice is that it promotes healing and restoration at the physical, emotional and spiritual levels."
-Mary, psychologist
"I was having
severe back pain during my second trimester of pregnancy...I had received massages from Jeff
while training for a marathon; he provides genuineness to his work that
is hard to find. His medical, athletic, and spiritual perspectives
combine to create a comfortable
and professional environment. He talks to
you about YOUR needs, shows on a diagram what
he will focus on, and makes sure you are completely comfortable…not an easy task at 7
months pregnant!
Thanks Jeff."
-Melissa, dietician
"From the very beginning of our first session, Jeff has treated me like an old friend. I cherish his compassionate wisdom and healing touch. His South Bend office is warm and inviting, and his therapy will help heal your mind, body and soul." - Andy, musician
"He has an obviously thorough knowledge of musculo-skeletal anatomy and is flexible about
adjusting each session to focus on any specific areas of concern. He is entirely unhurried, and
seems as relaxed after the massage as I am."
-Mark, MD
"The initial interview, which seems like a token preface for other masseuses, was not just a
veil for him. It deeply affected how he addressed our time together and set the otherwise
difficult-to-attain tone for a professional, yet thoroughly involved interaction...Even more uniquely,
we spoke after the massage, doing a check-in. Jeff cares about what he does, cares that he
does it well, and draws joy from it. In that sense, he is approachable and guarantees quality."
-Liz, graduate student, Notre Dame
"Jeff is professional, respectful and attentive. He's very knowledgeable, grounded, and tuned into
his client. He continues to learn new massage techniques that make him even more expert in his craft. He also helps you to understand what's going on with my muscles and joints and to identify habits potentially causing aches and knots."
-Lawrence Erpelding, acupuncturist
"Jeff can help anyone start their own path to relaxation and healing. He has been a great colleague, mentor and friend who always has time and ear to listen."
-Angie, massage therapist
"He really tries to individualize every session and treat not just your sore muscles but you as a
whole person."
-Beth, MD
"He takes interest in each individual and does whatever he can to assist in their wellness. It's
more than just a massage, though he is a talented massage therapist. The personal care is something that you do not find in a franchised or larger spa. It's like going to your friend,
having a nice visit, and leaving feeling relaxed and pampered!"
-Sharon, RN
"If you are looking for some well-deserved "you" time, don't waste your time at a dime-a-dozen salon; get a real massage experience with Jeff.
