In my first semester of working in Cedar Stone's student clinic, I delivered a total of 60 sessions serving 39 different clients, twelve of whom re-booked me (one client booked me eight times). During my second semester of working there, all the numbers went up: 86 total sessions for 56 clients, 14 who re-booked, and 3 clients who booked me 6 times or more. Some clients were other therapists and medical professionals. Here are examples of how they responded:

FROM OTHER HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS:

As a chiropractor, I have had dozens of massage therapists and probably a hundred or so massages.  This was by far one of the best massages I've had.  Outstanding hands and technique.

Alan does great work (and) connects well with the client.  I definitely feel looser!

My experience with Alan was fantastic!  He seemed very present, focused and aware.  I was impressed with his techniques and how he made them flow together.

Alan has a great touch - a lot of confidence for a student, and sensitivity.  I feel like a new person!

MORE FROM CLIENTS:

I highly recommend Alan especially for first-time clients who may be unsure as to what benefits massage may have to offer them.

It was extremely effective and was firm without being overly aggressive. I could feel the tension just ooze out of my muscles. I felt as if I was asleep while still awake...never felt that before.

I tend to forget to invest in myself, and after today, I realize the lesson I'm learning is to find Alan and get another massage.

May have been the most attentive and effective session yet. Amazing attention to detail. Alan has a great sense of what is tight or needs stretching and the skills and patience to solve the issues.

Alan addressed my TMJ flare-up, and the cold stones on my face definitely helped with my congestion.

Perfect pressure.  Alan identified areas for continued work, and I appreciated the time spent on tight, tense areas.  I give it a 10!

Everything was wonderful!  Alan's firmness and strength really worked my sore muscles well.  I was overdue for massage and this fit the bill perfectly.

The deep touch was perfect and hot stones an amazing addition -probably one of the best massages I have ever had.

Alan was very in tune perceiving my comfort level and the areas of my body needing treatment.  

Pain is gone.  The use of pressure was nice and targeted areas I needed.  Very kind and sensitive.

My neck pain is minimal after the massage.  It was the most thorough, complete massage I have had.  Better than a lot of professionals I have been to.

I have never experienced a stone massage before and immediately I felt the benefits.  I would have thought Mr. Arnett had been doing this for years!  He was a true professional, and I was impressed when he would let me know up front what I would be experiencing.  I am very modest, and he made me feel very comfortable.

I have never had a therapist target my pain so well.  Alan's deep pressure is so good for me.

Helped with low back pain. He used some really great combinations of muscle stretching and deep tissue moves that were really effective.  I'll be back!

Very soft and firm hands.  It's always nice when a guy massage therapist is not too light just because I'm a girl.
