Kelly Stapel, LMBT

Finding a new massage therapist can feel risky. After reading the Unilocal reviews, I decided to drive a little further and try Kelly. My hope was that she could ease the tension I was carrying in my lower back and legs. So glad I took that drive.
Kelly immediately made me comfortable with her calm presence. I sensed she would listen well… She did and promptly adjusted the pressure to suit my preference.
The massage was one of my best ever, leaving me with peacefulness all over. (No more tension.)
This is the one to try if you need a massage. Next thing you know, you’ll be writing her a Unilocal review, too!

To be honest, I’m not someone who considers getting a massage to be relaxing. They generally make me a little anxious. However, I have significant tension in my back and neck due to a shoulder injury and too much computer time. Kelly *immediately* put me at ease. We discussed my shoulder problem and areas of tension before I undressed. The suite was comfortable and comforting. I told her that I prefer heavy pressure (probably from years in PT with my shoulder), and she did not disappoint. She finished the massage with some scalp work, which really complemented the work she did on my tight neck. This is the first time I could see myself getting a massage on the regular. I left completely relaxed. My back is usually in knots, and it had loosened up so much that I regained a range of motion I can usually only get with PT.
I don’t usually take the time to write reviews, but when it comes to something intimate (and kind of expensive!) like a massage, I think it’s important to know these things. Kelly is professional, kind, and very skilled. I’ll be back! (And that’s saying a LOT!)

Kelly gave a wonderful massage. The pressure was perfect! I hold a lot of tension in the neck and shoulders and she helped to work it out. She is great!

The online appointment calendar is easy to use and Kelly was right on time. The office is nice and the atmosphere in the room is very clean and comfortable. Kelly does a wonderful job. Her techniques are very relaxing and she used perfect pressure everywhere. My neck and shoulders were really bothering me too and she spent extra time on them to make sure I was fully relaxed. I’ll be back soon.

Kelly gave me a wonderful massage! I went in very tense with my shoulders at my ears and Kelly worked magic. I will absolutely be on her table again soon.

You can set online appointments and she is prompt to responding to emails as well. The location is great, a couple blocks from Whole Foods in North Raleigh. A concise medical discussion followed by a great swedish massage, with multiple focuses. Instantly felt relief in my hips and legs. Left greatly relaxed and feeling great. Later in the evening the shoulder soreness I had for the last few days went away and hasn’t came back, Woke up the next morning feeling great. I’ve tried other LMBTs in the area and Kelly gave, by far, the best massage. 100% recommended.
