Please let me know how I'm doing and if you'd like to submit some testimonials, please do! You can do so here:  http://tlc-bodywork.massagetherapy.com/contact-information . Just choose "testimonials" in the dropdown box and I will update the page as soon as I can with your feedback. In Service and Gratitude, Tameca. p.s.
