I had an excellent experience with Jarod who was highly skilled, professional and effective. I will both recommend to others and return for further treatments.
Really nice centre! I've been seeing Jarod for massage and he always does a great job. He is skilled and knowledgeable.
What a beautiful, calm environment you have created. I'm so glad you have a new, physical space where you can meet your clients. Jarod is the best massage therapist I have had. He has a wide-array of modalities and techniques which he can employs and is completely attuned to how to address my issues. 100% recommend. 100% will continue coming back!
I had a 60-minute massage with Jarod and have nothing but good things to say! Beautiful facility, great staff and an excellent overall experience. I will be back for sure!
I love the variety of services Aspen Wellness Centre offers. Jarod is a wonderful massage therapist. He was very polite and professional. I really appreciated the time Jarod took to learn what my concerns were regarding scar tissue from prior surgeries and his suggestions to help me. I will definitely be back!
