I highly recommend Holly for massage. She has helped me with sciatica, stress and pain. Seriously cannot believe more people do not use massage for relief! She also has a very comfortable massage area that is private, quiet and just off the road in the woods. Thanks Holly!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Mary! I really appreciate your kind words and am so happy massage has helped. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

For those looking for relief from pain, here's my story..... After getting massages for about a year now from Holly Joy... If you have been following my story on caring for my late wife, I found Holly Joy about a year ago to resolve the pain in my arms and back. With my wife in hospices care at home required me to doing lots of lifting of her in and out of her chair, bed etc. This was a 24/7 job for nearly two years. Thought I was up to the job even being 75 years old. Well I was but suffered a little. Looking for resolution in my pain I did a search on Google and found Holly Joy just the other side of Kalkaska. Having just bought a new car it gave me some seat time to get enjoy my new car. On Holly's website, you have the option to choose the time and date of the session. Then you choose the type of treatment. i.e. Therapeutic, relaxation, lymphatic drainage or intuitive infusion etc. Then you can choose the length of the massage and add foot and scalp treatments. Then you have options of the oils that she will use. What more could you ask for. You will rise after the end of your session completely refreshed. Now after a year of having a session every other week the pains I had in my upper torso have completed subsided. What a relief. Give it a try. You have to start somewhere. It worked for me. Good luck. Holly is a soft spoken lady that is all business. Thank you Holly and I'm looking forward to my next session. Gerry
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Gerald, I appreciate your sharing, kind words and I’m so happy that you’re feeling better and look forward to seeing you soon!

I found Holly Joy massage as it is a convenient location for me but when I went to Holly I was blown away by her massage. She is awesome and I feel so relaxed when I leave. My last therapist talked thru the massage and I did not feel the stress reduction that I feel when I go to Holly. She uses different techniques depending on where my tender spots are. I highly recommend her!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Barb! I’m happy you chose me and that you’ve found relief and relaxation through your massage sessions. It means a lot to hear that you leave feeling less stressed and more relaxed. Thank you for your recommendation and support of my small business. I look forward to seeing you again soon! 💜

She was amazing. I went there with my daughter and she picked up things right away about why we were truly there. She used different modalities and they worked! I mean, no joke, they worked. Or I really should say SHE dug it! She was very sweet and easy to open up to, making the entire experience very informative, relaxing, and she even called upon St Michael to aide Her in successfully remove an attachment!!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I’m grateful you both felt comfortable, supported, and able to relax during the session. Creating a safe, intuitive space using a blend of holistic modalities to best suit your needs is always my intention, and I truly appreciate your trust and am so glad the session was helpful.
