Testimonials

As the owner of Tim Koffler Fitness, a current Personal Trainer at the premier Club ZUM, and former fitness Director of the Seattle Athletic Club I have had the amazing opportunity to work with some of the best health/fitness professionals in Seattle.

Keeping my body in optimal shape to both properly function in my career and achieve my own personal health/fitness goals, weekly massage appointments are integral.

I met Patti Abbott many years ago as colleagues, retained her as a professional and since consider her a friend because of her quality work and personal interest in her clients. I trust Patti to fix my many career related body issues and keep me in top condition to remain successful in my fitness career. Because she is able to accurately assess my soft tissue needs and address them, I routinely recommend her to my clients to enhance their health interests.

Finally! Relief! Patti has set me straight on back care. The massages are healing, thorough and relaxing. The (requested) homework she gives works harmoniously with my daily regimen and overall health goals. I consider this more healing than luxury...though it is the highlight of my appointed day! Strongly recommended!

I have been going to Erica for massage therapy since 2004. Erica has helped me through many races, a handful of injuries and most recently my pregnancy. I strongly believe my massage sessions with Erica reset my body to keep me going. Erica's expertise in relieving pain, stress and injury with pinpoint accuracy is phenomenal. Although I'm there to work on my aches & pains, I appreciate the peaceful environment she has created. Her studio setting is warm, relaxing and inviting. In addition to being a fantastic massage therapist Erica is truly a genuine person. She cares about her patients and their wellbeing. She is one of a kind!

I have been a regular client of Erica's for over a year now. I am continuously amazed at her range of knowledge, skill and dedication. I have also been a client of Angela's and am very happy with massages from both women. Erica has also assisted me in recovering from knee surgery and all the sore muscles that came with it. At Seattle Massage Oasis I am always met with a smile, warmth and eagerness to relieve my aching body!"

I have been seeing Erica for massage for about 2 years now and clearly, I'm addicted. Thanks to my insurance, (which Erica does all the billing for), I am able to see her twice a month. I have always been impressed with her professionalism and how personable she is at the same time. She gives a great massage using a good amount of pressure so that I feel the results-relaxed and free of tension. Being a hairdresser, I carry a lot of stress in my shoulders and upper back, and she has helped me tremendously. Erica has created a beautiful, bright and calming environment down on the Lake Union waterfront. She has tons of music to choose from and also gives you scent choices for the lotion she uses. Erica is truly fabulous and I would recommend her to anyone in need of some true therapeutic massage."

I suffer from neck, lower back and hip pain due to arthritis. I cannot take pain medication so my doctor recommended massage therapy to relieve the pain in the surrounding muscle caused by arthritis. I have been receiving massage from Erica for more than 4 years now. Erica is very knowledgeable in muscle structure and has the touch to find the muscles that need particular attention. She applies the right pressure as needed while still making the massage a relaxing experience. She continues to learn new massage techniques and approaches that make her more proficient. The best thing I appreciate is that she helps me to understand what's going on with my muscles and joints and what is causing all the pain."

Erica Keich is amazing. She has been my massage therapist for over 5 years. After my double mastectomy, she very gently worked on my scars, my lymph system and my overall healing. Today I have full mobility of both of my arms, feeling has almost totally returned to my chest and arm area. Even more significantly, because of her skill and special touch, I do not have to wear my compression sleeve or hand and the nerve pain is kept under control. I am thankful every day for her knowledge and skill. She has been a significant positive influence on my overall health and well being and I thank her very much."

Erica, thanks for consistently providing massages that are the best of both worlds: the relaxation of a Swedish massage with results like physical therapy! Also, I appreciate the time you take with me before each and every appointment to individualize my massage and find out which areas need extra attention. I always leave feeling looser in the body and calmer in the mind than when I arrived."

I came to mountain climbing late in life - really seriously about 4 years ago when I was 61. Before that I had taken hikes and tried some climbing, but then I decided to really make it happen. I started working with a professional trainer and right away figured out that just training was not going to get me where I wanted and needed to go. Another ingredient was necessary if I was going to succeed. I needed something to help me prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts - something that would give me the continuous improvement that I needed because I had a long, long way to go. My trainer recommended that I see Erica. She had referred other clients to Erica and they had universally been pleased with the result. Erica turned out to be exactly what I needed - the missing part of the equation. Since the very beginning my improvement has been continuous. My joint flexibility has improved, range of motion is better, my recovery time is shorter, I sleep better and have less fatigue, the list goes on but in short - I just feel better and perform better! Erica is someone who is deeply caring and clearly committed to her profession; her training and experience are extensive, and she is very thoughtful about what she does. I have been the direct beneficiary of all that expertise. On the one hand Erica has been a great source of ideas and suggestions for improvement. On the other hand she has also been a therapist who can use different techniques to address a variety of issues (at my age I have several!). One of my daughters has been climbing with me -and now she sees Erica on a regular basis as well. So now it's a family thing! I (and my daughter) cannot recommend Erica too highly!"
