Carly’s office is beautiful and relaxing. She makes sure to have everything you might like, like snacks and tea, as well as some items for purchase to supplement your healing, such as body oils etc. Her massage work is excellent, with her ability to find precisely the right points to work on. Plus, the soft music, aromatherapy, and hot towels will make you feel sufficiently pampered! Highly recommend.

As a first timer, everything went great and helped out so much. Felt so relaxed and so much better afterwards. Thank you so much!

Carly at Butterfly Holistics is truly exceptional! From the moment I arrived, her professional demeanor and attention to detail set the perfect tone. The ambiance she created was deeply relaxing - exactly what I needed to de-stress. What really sets Carly apart is her masterful technique. She has an intuitive ability to find the right amount of pressure, never too gentle or too intense. Her skilled hands worked out all my tension points with precision, using a variety of techniques that showed her extensive training and expertise. Throughout the session, I felt completely at ease in her care. The entire experience was rejuvenating - I left feeling both deeply relaxed and energized. If you're looking for a massage therapist who combines technical skill with a genuinely peaceful atmosphere with someone who legitimately cares about YOUR wellness, Carly is your answer. I'll definitely be booking again!

Carly is very experienced and knowledgeable. About the physical and emotional body. She has strong hands and I always feel much relieved the following day and weeks after. Nice new space with many gift ideas as well.


Nov 05, 2024

I had gotten a gift certificate to Butterfly Kisses and was extremely pleased with my massage. I had a severe ankle injury and was nervous about anyone touching my ankle. Carly understood my anxiety and gently eased away my worries. I highly recommend Carly for any looking for a relaxing, comforting massage.

First visit definitely going back really relaxing thank you Carly


Aug 05, 2024

Fantastic ambience and the best massage I’ve ever gotten! Such good technique and strong soothing hands!


Aug 05, 2024

Had a 2 hour massage by Carly. It was great like always. I had the deep tissue massage with the BCD oil lavender scent. Carly was working on my left side and back a lot, because I had ciatic pain. Her new place is nice. If your thinking about it, go do it! You won't regret it! You will feel amazing afterwards.


Aug 05, 2024

The moment I walked in the door I was greeted by Carly. She was as friendly as could be and seemed genuinely happy to meet me. I was excited to be having my first ever full body massage at age 65! She directed me into her massage room and gave me the general idea of what I could expect. She asked if there were any areas I thought that needed extra attention, if I would like to use aromatherapy, and if I had any questions don’t hesitate to ask. It was easy to relax because she had the sound of beach waves in the background. She loosened my neck muscles so much I gained tons of movement that I had lost! The massage cream she used made my skin soft for days. I will definitely be heading back once or twice some month to see her! Thank you Carly, for making it a wonderful first experience!!! Make an appointment today, you won’t regret it!


Jul 05, 2024

I just love Carly! She is wonderful! I enjoy getting a relaxing massage from her on a regular basis. Every time I go, she asks about me and how I'm feeling. If I have any areas that I need worked on. I so appreciate her questions and her knowledge of how to help me. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for some much needed self-care!


May 05, 2024

My first massage was amazing. I asked for a relaxing one due to my stress level and she honored it. I loved the warm scented towels and the office has the perfect ambiance.


Apr 05, 2024

Wonderful massage! I requested a Swedish massage but kinda wanted a Deep tissue. I don’t want to walk out in pain after a massage but also like to have the benefits of a Deep Tissue. I mentioned to Carly that I like something “in between” and thankfully she did just that. It was a wonderful massage that benefited my body but also was relaxing for me. Definitely recommend her!


Mar 05, 2024

Carly is amazing. I’m so grateful for the wonderful massage! I booked another appointment as she is a true healer.


Mar 05, 2024

My wife gave me a massage with Carly for my birthday. I’ve seen Carly before and have always been incredibly satisfied and grateful for her skill and kindness. Today was no exception! What a great day! Thank you Carly for a wonderful experience!


Feb 05, 2024

Carly is a fabulous message therapist. She is both gentle and strong. She has really helped me with my upper back pain.


Feb 05, 2024

Carly is an extremely skilled massage therapist who takes time to listen to what you need. She knows exactly how to address my specific concerns each time I see her. Her massages are fantastic for addressing my migraine headaches as well as muscle tension and pain in my neck. I cannot recommend her highly enough if you are looking for a massage therapist who is not only talented and professional, but also kind and caring. Her massage room is beautiful, comfortable, and so relaxing. You will be glad you treated yourself to one of her massages.


Feb 05, 2024

Carly is very personable and explained where/how tension and stress affect our bodies. Massage was wonderful, so relaxing! Next time I am going to have her do deep tissue massage, looking forward to it!


Feb 05, 2024

Hands down the BEST massage. Carly is amazing! I’ve been getting regular massages with Carly since February 2023 and the 90-minute massage is literally life changing. My body and mind feel refreshed, less stressed. Her massage is the perfect reset. I’m so thankful to have found Carly.


Feb 05, 2024

I began seeing Carly after my husband passed away last year. She relieved acute shoulder and neck pain through targeted massage and recommended home exercise. Carly has MAGICAL hands able to release tight pressure points. I am always comforted by her kind and caring demeanor. After a year of monthly treatments, she has been instrumental in improving my overall health. I always look forward to our appointments, blissfully relaxing with hot towels and essential oils.


Feb 05, 2024

I had a massage appointment to help my neck, should, back area, and Carly did a wonderful job of working out the kinks. I returned a week later to do cupping, and that took even more of the kinks out. Since then, my shoulder, neck, and back have felt almost 100% (and that has not happened in months). 10 out of 10 recommend.


Feb 05, 2024

I had an amazingly tranquil and healing massage by Carly on Friday.... I have chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and have been super stressed and depressed lately. Her treatment room is warm and inviting, she takes time to listen to your likes/dislikes, and intuitively rubs away all your pain and worries! I usually leave a massage tired and a little sore; however, this time I was energized and hopeful! I can't wait to go back - thank you, Carly! 💜🙏🏻💜


Feb 05, 2024

I suffer from fibromyalgia and I was pain-free following my session with Carly! The sequence was unique to my preferences with three soothing, steamy aromatherapy applications. I selected a scent that i really loved, and the product was superb! Other places always left my skin and hair feeling oily, but Carly's products left my skin feeling soft, nourished, and smelling wonderful! For me, this is a GAME CHANGER!


Feb 05, 2024

My experience with Carly was most helpful in dealing with both pain and relaxing pleasure. Absolutely delightful!


Feb 05, 2024

Wonderful relaxing space & massage, just what I needed. Thank you so much!


Feb 05, 2024

Yesterday was my second massage with Carly. I am so thankful to have found another masseuse that can care for my body after my prior massage therapist moved away. I had three discs in my neck fused several years ago so I deal with a lot of tight muscles and knots in my neck and shoulders. She does a wonderful job at spending the amount of time that I really need on those areas. She also does massages after normal business hours so it’s perfectly convenient.


Feb 05, 2023

After 30 years of getting massages, in my experience, Carly is definitely the best at what she does! I am probably the most difficult person to help get relaxed because I am always so tense. Plus I suffer from migraine headaches, she nailed it.


Feb 05, 2023

An inviting, cozy space with easy parking and an excellent experience beginning to end. I was blissed out.


Feb 05, 2023

Carly at Butterfly Kisses is a wonderful masseuse.She is extremely talented, professional, insightful, and kind. She listens to your requests, knows her trade, and keeps notes. Her office is refreshing, extremely clean and her music is fit to your needs. I have had massages for many many years and would highly recommend Carly.


Feb 05, 2023

I have had many massages but Carly gives the best! I hurt my rotator cuff exercising and she knew exactly how to relieve the pain.


Feb 05, 2023

I love massages, and rarely have I had a masseuse ask so many thoughtful questions about areas to focus (or not focus on), the goal of the treatment, and the amount of pressure. It really personalized the session and made it super effective. Carly can offer any type of massage, but I asked for deep tissue to deal with some tight muscles and I came out totally relaxed and loose. She used multiple techniques to get any tension out of my back. I also loved the use of hot, scented towels. The studio is clean and attractive and the music she played--rain sounds--only added to the calming atmosphere. What a treat! I will be back.


Feb 05, 2023

I went to Carly for help with lower back and hip pain. She listened to my concerns and did a great job at relieving some of the pain. She also worked on my neck and shoulders which were very tight. As others have said, she is very professional and her massage room is clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend her to a friend.


Feb 05, 2023

I went to Carly with some serious tension in my upper back which I wanted help with, but I also wanted to relax and enjoy a quiet hour to myself. The massage she gave me was so relaxing while it also helped with the tension I was experiencing. I will absolutely be coming back again!


Feb 05, 2023

My girlfriend and I both loved our massages at Butterfly Kisses. Tranquil and calming atmosphere and the perfect way to relax after a long flight.


Feb 05, 2022

After lifting weight that was too heavy for me, I wound up with a gnarly ache / muscle spasms in my upper back, shoulders and neck . In the past this has taken DAYS if not WEEKS for the pain to subside. Carly worked her massage therapy magic and I felt better instantly. She listened to my description of the problem and knew exactly how to help. I can only hope more people realize how healing massage therapy can be, and find their way to Butterfly Kisses. Would give 10 stars if possible.


Feb 05, 2022

Great massage, two hours and couldn't feel better. She truly knows her craft of massage. Been using her several times and now I finally got my wife and my office manager to go see her. Give her a try you won't be disappointed.
