"Shelley and Tim are truly gifted.  Their skill in massage is akin to that of great ballet dancers: no wasted motion; every stroke seems to come from an inspired, caring source.  And the result is more than relaxation...it's meditative, even transformational.  Worth a trip to Lake Placid just to receive their gift of superb massage."

"As a full-time endurance athlete, scheduling my recovery time is just as important as scheduling my training schedule. In order to make progress and absorb new training I need to pay extra attention to my recovery, and regular massage, hands down remains the most effective and highest quality recovery I can commit to.   I have been working with Tim as an athlete for almost six years now. I have had few other experiences that compare to Tim's dedication, knowledge, ability and approach to his client. Balanced Bodywork is a great local resource! "

Haley Johnson, US Biathalon Team, 2010 Olympian

" Tim; I just wanted to thank you for the great massage...I haven't woken up the last two mornings so tight in the hips and glutes. Your new learned knowledge seems to have helped. Just so you know, I appreciate your efforts in pursuing continuing education...your caring and professional ways...also your excellent draping skills! Very important in a male therapist, so glad you are so aware. I'll call when I get back from Kripalu to set up an appointment."
