Holistically Lys Services

I am so happy that I found Alyssa, and it was thanks to Yelp actually! I read a positive review, followed the link to her website, and requested an appointment. She responded quickly and I was able to book a massage for the same week! I come to Fresno about 4-5 weeks a year for work, so I've been able to have 3 sessions so far this year with Alyssa. Meditation, aromatherapy, and massage each time, and each session was tailored to that week's specific needs: mostly my headaches. She's an amazing therapist!!! Her massage studio is warm, beautiful, and tranquil. She has been an essential tool in my headache management plan when I'm here in Fresno!! Highly recommend!!! I've referred a few of my staff to her.

I have to admit that I was excited to get straight to the massage portion of my appointment but we started with a brief chat on where problem areas are then on to a guided meditation which I appreciated more once I was able to separate the outside world and leave it out there before I brought it into my massage time. This was so helpful to allow myself to just be present and not be bombarded with the thoughts of what needed to be completed on my todo list.We had a couple moments of sound bowls and aromatherapy. You would think that just getting straight to the massage would be beneficial but I think the ceremony helps prepare you mindfully to accept what your body is craving, the energetic balance of mind body and soul is so important and I think we tend to disconnect from that at times.I chose the Thai massage, which allows you to remain clothed, I know but sometimes your body (mine anyway) needs that stretching that only Thai massage can offer and staying clothed allows for those movements. My posture always improves after Thai massage. I also like that I can feel relaxed but still ready to take on the day should I have to. The environment is clean and feels safe. I booked my next appointment before I left.
