Reviews for Cat:

"I recently had the most wonderful massage at the Metta Center. The masseuse, Cat Adkins, knew exactly what to do to help my very tense body relax. She worked diligently to work out the tightness in my back and shoulders. The atmosphere was so relaxing with music softly playing in the background, and a comfortable heated bed. It was heavenly. I'll be back!" – Bunni C.

"This was my first time at The Metta Center. Cat was my massage therapist. It was fantastic and very relaxing. I have a lot of stress and anxiety, and she knew exactly how to help. I loved her technique and the essential oils she choose. I highly recommend her and the Metta Center. I will be a returning customer." – Gina D.

"I had a great massage with Cat yesterday. It was my first time seeing her, and the experience didn’t disappoint. Her technique was a new experience for me; alternating quick, deliberate movements to generate heat in the muscles with sudden stillness and pressure that I found to be extremely relaxing. I’m pretty sure I dozed off a couple times. Another great addition to the Metta Center. Thank you!" – Susan G.
