My body has been wracked with pain for the past year. I have a lumbar injury, plus in the past year I’ve had 4 surgeries for breast cancer, 6 months of chemotherapy and 8 weeks of radiation therapy. I also work full time and I have 3 school aged sons at home. I’ve been taking lots of pain medications just to make it through… one day at a time. I’ve needed some SERIOUS one-on-one rehabilitation, and physical therapy clinics just don’t provide that much attention to their patients needs.

 A friend referred me to RHOA, and I made an appointment via their website. I was very impressed that Audrey uses ETPS therapy in conjunction with deep tissue massage. I have had this therapy in the past upon recommendation from my Neurologist/Neurosurgeon about 4 years ago. This is a relatively new therapy and few therapists are qualified to use it. This therapy LITERALLY saved me from having back surgery in 2004.

 Miss Audrey worked on my back, hips and shoulders for one hour. Even Miss Audrey said that she couldn’t believe that I was walking around with all of my muscles so tight! She was very respectful of my modesty. She asked me several times if I was handling the pain okay, or if she needed to be gentler. She found knotted up muscles that I didn’t even know I had, and she worked very hard for that full hour. In the end, she even taught me new stretches and exercises to do at home to help improve my mobility and keep me well.

 After one hour with Audrey, my mobility has increased remarkably. I am able to do stretches that were very painful for me to attempt before my appointment. The deep, penetrating pain that I have been suffering has really diminished. I am confident that with a few more visits, I will be completely back to my old self, and I will be able to enjoy my life so much more. My children will have their playful mommy back again! Thank you so much for helping me Audrey!     Sandra Paquin, Woodbine, GA

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“I injured my back at work. I had seen an orthopedic physician. I was referred to physical therapy, which I went for seven weeks total. My back felt better at the beginning then it started feeling worse. My physician then referred me to Restoration Hands of Aloha Massage Clinic. I needed deep tissue massage therapy due to the strain in my back. The first visit I did not know what to expect, but I felt better after already. The second visit I was sore, so I went home and drank plenty of water and used Biofreeze rub on my back to help with the soreness. After the third visit I felt like I was twenty years younger! I could wash my back, and clean my bathtub without my husbands help. I am using muscles that I could not use in years. I personally would recommend this company to anyone whom has injured their back or any part of their body. It is a wonderful place! It’s calming, relaxing, and the therapy provided is wonderful. I want to thank the staff, they are very helpful.”  Theresa Griffin

 

 

"Thank you for getting me back on my feet so quickly! I pulled a lower back muscle and needed to be mobile so that I could perform in a play two days after the injury. You "fixed" it so that I could walk on stage and perform for three shows and I am so very grateful! I will continue to recommend you and your restoring hands to everyone I know!" Margaret Bernasek

 

 

“Audrey St. John is like a saint. She has been blessed with the gift of healing people. She is a giver and I believe in her ethics, her work, her beliefs, and her spirit. She means only well and is such a joyful person. She knows what she is doing and she is very good at what she does. I would recommend her to anyone for therapeutic services. Whether it be that you have a lot of physical problems that require therapy and healing, or you just want a day of relaxation. I would highly suggest giving it a try for yourself and see just how wonderful of a place this is.  Restoration Hands of Aloha........ Try it out- and Real-lax!" Christine Alden

“I suffer from chronic lower back and neck pain. While visiting my daughter in St.Mary’s, GA, I was a few miles from home and my doctors. Through friends I found Restoration Hands of Aloha Massage Clinic. Being as I’m visiting from Honolulu, I was right at home! The deep tissue massage was wonderful! Knots were removed from my lower back and neck, making it comfortable to walk again! Technique and professionalism were amazing. Mrs. Audrey and Stephanie were amazing. After walking daily routines, my right leg seems to shorten; now they are even again. The pain is now bearable and that’s GREAT! The  “Aloha Spirit” is alive and well in Georgia!”  Marie Mayers

 

 

“The people here are wonderful and the service is fabulous. I am six months pregnant and just like any pregnant woman my back and feet hurt. I have received a prenatal massage and when it was over I felt great. I wasn’t in pain. I was relaxed and the best part about the whole thing is that they treat you like a friend, not like another payment. Their atmosphere is great, very soothing and relaxed. Restoration Hands of Aloha will always be the first place I turn to.”      Kristin Mae Little

 

 

“You guys treat everyone like family.  You're awesome!”

 Samantha Wright

 

 

“Audrey St.John is a very gifted and special person. She has mastered the process of identifying the individual needs of her clients and applying her experienced hands that produce results.

“I walk into Restoration Hands of Aloha usually in some sort of pain, but when I leave I feel Pain Free! Audrey is wonderful and cares how you feel.”  Christine Daniel

 

 

“Audrey St. John has given me amazing relief from chronic back pain associated with curvature of the spine, with her massage and non invasive acupuncture treatments. Audrey is a kind, gentle person whose hands are a conduit for healing.” Eileen Kelly

 

“My massage at "ALOHA" was wonderful and very relaxing. I highly recommend it. Ms. Audrey was very knowledgeable and I feel she knows what she is doing and can achieve favorable results for people. I look forward to my next visit.” Susan Thrift

 

Miss Audrey has been wonderful to me. Not only does she make me feel welcome and special, she also gives my body whatever it needs to release built up tension. I am a teacher and have a very hectic life. As a result, I constantly build up tension between my shoulders and in my upper back. Sometimes it gets so bad that I can’t sleep and even feel sick to my stomach. When I am like this I can go to Miss Audrey, and she will work her magic. Because she knows various techniques, she does not have to rely on just one and can use whatever technique(s) will relieve the stress. YOU’RE AWESOME!     Michelle Gaston

 

"Ms. Audrey is a gem. As a result of my profession, I have had massages all over the world. Ms. Audrey is one of the most attentive and professional massage therapists that I have encountered. I am a pretty big guy and like massages that go deep to release built up tension. Although Ms. Audrey is a petite woman, she can really apply the pressure! She is wonderful, and I feel relaxed and revitalized after each visit with her."     - Greg Gaston

 

“After experiencing “the magic” of Miss Audrey’s hands (of Aloha), I felt as though I had lost 5lbs and grown taller. It has been a long time since I felt like I really wanted to run. To be virtually pain free brings new life to a “bod”(body)! She greets you with a big hug and smile. That’s therapeutic. Thank you Mrs. Audrey!”   Berthiness Johnson

 

"I have tried many different locations for hip pain relief and RHOA was the only one that really has helped me. Audrey has done wonders for me."     Barbara Foshee

"Very, very good ok!"   Julius Scarry

“Very professional, excellent massage, I feel wonderful – no sore spots!”   Rhetta Sutton

“Always Good! Very relaxing.”    Pat Brown

 

“Excellent massage! Relaxing! The massage helped me move without pain, and gave me an immediate increased range of motion. Thanks for Mrs. Foshee for recommending Audrey and thanks to God for giving Audrey her amazing skills!”  Cindy Peeples

 

"Great work out of muscle massage!" Judy Johnsen

 

"Audrey, I know I tell you each time that I see you "Thank you" for working out all the knots that I know about and all the ones that you find. I have had massages before but they are what I call the "feel good" ones....they feel nice at the time but they did not do anything about the problems I was having. My neck and shoulder area hurt all the time and I had difficulty turning my neck as I should. God has given you a gift that sends your hands right to the place(s) that really need stretching out. And for me, not only are you working on tight muscles you ask me what am I doing or not doing? How am I sleeping? sitting? Small things I would not think about that doing some small changes have helped the way I feel. All my muscles thank you for the attention they receive from you!! I gladly tell my friends to "Go see Audrey, she will work on you real well!!" You take care of all of us - working us all in when we call (at times over doing yourself). God Bless and we (Jo and I) will see you soon.

Prayerfully,

Sharon Chapman"
