Reviews of Brown Mountain Bodywork

Kimberly Purser

After years of having been active with outdoor sports, yoga, biking I had allowed myself to become sedentary. Even with experiencing increased knee pain and mobility issues, guilt and shame stood in the way of being able to move forward. I asked for guidance to steer me to a person I could work with to regain a sense of freedom within my own body. First I found Brown Mountain Bodywork, then I had my first session with Trish Ockinga. The massage studio itself was very calm, welcoming, and highly professional. I felt “seen” and my first session with Trish Ockinga was absolutely phenomenal. Her combination of knowledge, intuition, kindness, humor, as well as her ability to deliver deep pressure to “hotspots” gave me an immediate decrease in pain and increased hope around increasing my range of motion. Trish is an incredible massage therapist and I am grateful to be working with her!

Grace was incredibly attentive to the problem areas I've been dealing with for weeks. She was professional and very informative through out the entire massage. The treatment she provided was like no other that I've experienced in 25 years for a reoccurring sciatica issue.

Eric Zetterholm

Grace was the perfect massage therapist. She efficiently pinpointed the areas that needed work and her calm demeanor was soothing and restful. I'd highly recommend her!!

Mary K

I highly recommend Grace for a 90 minute session. I felt immediate relief for my low back pain. I did my usual walk the next day and felt an obvious difference. I could walk further and had more bounce to my step.

Johanna Williams

Immediate relief the morning after in my workout routine! I shared my pain, balance issues and feel like I got tools to help prevent future pain. Would definitely recommend.

Terry Hasty

I had a session with Zach Brown last week to see if he could help me with joint swelling and pain in my right hand. I have been to an orthopedic doctor who basically said, "It's not time for surgery yet, but it will be." Zach took the time to listen to my symptoms, do some preliminary testing of functionality of my hand, took a book off his shelf to confirm the muscles in my arm connected to the pain I described. Then he worked on my forearm and wrist and hand for over an hour. The swelling and soreness in my hand, which had been quite uncomfortable for weeks, was greatly improved at the end of my session with Zach and almost a week later is still in good shape. He also send me a link to some accessories that may help me avoid a repeat of the problem. I can't say enough about Brown Mountain Bodywork. If you are thinking about surgery for chronic pain and swelling, see Zach first. You will also be very happy with a massage from Amber! She is extremely caring and an excellent massage therapist. I have had several massages from her, including hot stones. Truly heaven on earth!

Melanie Stephenson

Brown Mountain was referred to me by my acupuncturist. I’ve had pain around my hip/thighs for years. After my first 90 minute session with Grace, my hip is soooo much better! She is very knowledgeable about how all the muscles all connect and she can really find the deep tight muscles. I highly recommend her.

Mitchell

I received exactly what i wanted in the appointment, directed at my sports specific injury and soreness. I will definatly go back to see Grace. Thank you!

Vee Mee

This was my 2nd appointment for a 2 hr full body massage. The first visit was amazing. Okay his time, while acknowledging my neck & lower back issues. I did not receive a full body massage. For the time & price I fully expected a full body massage. There was no discussion about whether or not I be wished to forgo a full body massage. I was a bit disappointed.

kelleigh hinman

I’ve been Amber’s loyal client for many years now. It’s always a perfect experience. Her positive, happy vibe puts me at ease from the moment me meet. Amber’s touch is soothing, firm when needed & gentle if necessary. I personally love the hot Himalayan salt stone massage {90 minutes every 4 weeks}. The heat & the slight texture of the salt add an extra element that sets this treatment apart from any massage I’ve had in the past. What I really love about Amber is that if I need to just chill the room is tranquil & quiet, but if I’m in the mood to chat it’s an amazing chat that helps me feel more comfortable with my place in this crazy world.

Kim Withers

I think it is safe to say I have formed a Zach habit! My routine keeps me moving with less stiffness and pain. The team is committed to helping you meet your wellness goals. Grateful to have found them!!

Virginia Drake

I discovered Brown Mountain Bodywork when I first moved here. Grace has been The best massage therapist I've ever had. She tunes in to what needs to be addressed from an intuitive, caring and determined enthusiasm that leaves you feeling well taken care of long after you've left the table.

P Toth

I have received massages from both Grace and Amber. Both were very helpful for my neck and shoulder pain. Also, the online scheduling is very easy to use.

Lori Hernandez

I went to see Zach because of severe pain in my right arm and numbness in my hand. He was very kind and professional and explained everything with use of charts and visual aids in the office so I understood before we started. He made it easy to communicate during the massage as regarding the amount of pressure. Also he was very careful of covid guidelines. Today is just one day after and I am already able to use my hand much better and have substantially less pain in my arm. Looking forward to my next visit.

Eric fricke

I had a great massage with Zach early Jan 2021. He is a wonderful therapist, with a good deal of technical knowledge. His work with Trigger Point Therapy was very helpful in addressing some issues in my shoulder and neck. But just as importantly, he has great touch! All of the protocols for COVID felt very safe and professional, without being restrictive or getting in the way of having a good massage. The space at Brown Mountain Bodywork is also lovely. Highly recommend!

Morgan Beddingfield

I've had a couple massages before here that I thought were ok. NOW I know what I was missing!!! This was the most AMAZING thing I've done for my body in years. Honestly it helped even more than physical therapy! I had the best results ever!!! I'm a mother that carries around a 30 pound 2 year old all day and I thought back pain was just unavoidable. One massage and Zach was able to isolate and tackle places that have hurt for years!! No more sharp pains bending over, lifting, or turning. I'm so excited that I found true relief 🥰 I can't say enough about how much this helped me and I cannot wait to go back!

Gwynneth Roberts

I had an amazing massage with Amber! I had been having some neck and shoulder issues the previous week and she was able to give me a full body massage while also paying attention to problem areas and I immediately felt better and haven't had any issues since. I will definitely be returning!

Naomi Graham

My acupuncturist recommended Brown Mtn Bodywork, I’m so glad I went!! Grace was exceptionally in tune with my body and some of my concerns. She listened to me and my concerns and I’m so pleased with the results of my massage. She was incredible and its def in the top 2 massages I’ve ever had in my life(I’ve had ALOT)….her follow through was great and even gave me some at home exercises to help improve with my shoulder rotation. Can’t wait till my next appt!!

randi beard

Amber was amazing! I was seeking someone that could effectively work on a neck and shoulder issue. She listened and was super knowledgeable about her approach. After one treatment, I noticed a significant difference. I will continue with her until this area is back to normal but will also continue as a client for just relaxation and stress relief. I am not a newcomer to massage and this is one of the best I have ever had. Great practice!

moliviad

Zach is an excellent practitioner! I felt like butter after the 90 minute massage. I have been getting regular massage for 20 years and his skill and sensitivity was in tune with my body and it's needs. He did a great job of making communicating about pressure easy and a collaborative experience. I will be recommending him to friends!!

Chris Groutt

Grace’s knowledge of anatomy/physiology is only surpassed by her powerful, yet intuitive touch and sincere interest in the client’s feedback (historical stuff like injuries, as well as moment to moment). I’ve had a TON of bodywork over 35 yrs as an athlete (competitive and rec) and I am VERY happy to have found her. I will be back.

Phil Rolfe

I really appreciate the work Zack provided to my problem areas. I feel heard, I feel relief and I feel relaxed. Zack has clearly been doing this for quite some time and has refined his skills with further education. I will definitely recommend Zack Brown for folks that are looking for a skilled body worker! Phil Rolfe, PT

Ellison Graham

Grace Alex worked wonders on my whole body in order to address a shoulder injury and long-term compensation pain from other injuries. Very professional, communicative, and thorough. I highly recommend them!

Ash Gerry

I had such an AMAZING massage from Amber! From the moment she met with me I felt welcomed by her warmth, care and knowledge of her craft. She took time to focus on my pain points in the session, and also helping me set a workable plan moving forward. My body felt better than in has in months and months after just 90 minutes with her! She is absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend her if you are looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable massage therapist.

Jan Sturgis

Zach's Clinical Massage is exceptional. He has a calm yet insistent way of honing in on the areas needing work. His system for feedback insures that pressure levels are good and communication stays open. I trust his knowledge about muscle systems, etc, that play into particular physical pain areas. Quite the professional!

Melody Muller

My massage with Amber was absolutely amazing! Hands down one of the best experiences I've ever had! She practices a multitude of modalities and she is a master of every one! Absolutely covid compliant...I felt totally safe and protected. The space was super clean and sanitized yet warm and inviting atmosphere that is completely relaxing. Highly recommend Amber for bodywork...I am already looking forward to my next massage!

Stefan Daiberl

Had my first treatment with Zach yesterday. I’ve been pain free in my lower back for the first time in 6 months after 60 min with him. I’m so happy I found him, there is some magic going on. Thank you 🙏. …

Marissa Pearrow

Zach was a fantastic therapist! His expertise was evident as he worked on the tension in my body. He was kind and attentive in everything he did. Felt much better and finally got a good night sleep for the first time in weeks. Will be back!

Aimee Marie

If you are looking for a truly exceptional massage, then I would wholeheartedly recommend Zach. He is thorough, professional, intuitive but also highly skilled at understanding and treating injuries and problem areas. I was very impressed at his knowledge, ability to tailor a perfect massage for my individual needs and his gentle, calm presence. I will be going back as soon as possible! Thank you Zach!

Ian Cochrane

I just started seeing Zach for some chronic issues. He has a very calming presence and always listens to my weird descriptions of my pains. He is so intuitive at finding the problematic areas and tracing their origins, and his sense of pressure is perfect. The atmosphere at the office is clean and calming, I always leave feeling relaxed. I love coming here!

Peggy Mann

There was nothing not to like. Zach has the gift of massage and listening. I was referred by my physician for a painful muscle in my upper back--after two sessions, the problem was alleviated. I continued a couple more times because I wanted to make sure the area was healed AND because I liked it so much! Heaven is the word. As far as the ambiance goes, Zach is not an interior decorator and leans on tans, sparsely male, but the music was soothing and all was comfortable and organized well.

Cheyenne Stavely

Grace was amazing during my first visit. Very polite and kind. Her work was amazing I left feeling almost numb I was so relaxed. Will definitely return!

C H P

***HIGHLY RECOMMEND*** Having gone to massage school myself, finding a therapist who I can relax with can be/has been a challenge. Amber, however, is most definitely a keeper! Her hands flow over the body in such a fluid motion that I felt like my muscles were being hypnotized. And then...she works even more magic with the warm salt stones. All I can say is, “When’s your next opening, Amber!” HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Amanda Stem

Amber is great! She puts a lot of care into her massages and makes sure you are comfortable. I have chronic hip and IT band issues, and Amber's massages help the healing process. I left feeling on cloud nine!

Jenn Meyer

I have chronic neck and shoulder pain due to the work that I do so Zach tailored the massage to meet my specific needs. With his knowledge and expertise on the body and muscles he was able to target the source of my pain and alleviate it. I am super happy and will definitely be back!

T Shapiro

I have been looking for an Asheville massage therapist who can do a true deep tissue massage for years and finally found Zach! Zach is knowledgeable, professional and focuses on the areas in need. He has been helping my tennis elbow, and all the related tight muscles from playing tennis and being active. Thanks for keeping me going Zach!

Loren Wooten

I started going to Brown Mountain Bodywork because it's conveniently located and they offer sports massage which I thought would compliment my active lifestyle. I've stayed for the level of professionalism and the care and attention Amber gives to my tweaks and injury's. I always leave feeling amazing and with skills to use at home to prolong my comfort, especially stretching routines. I highly recommend BMB if you are an athlete, weekend warrior or just need some stress relief.

Anne deBuys

In the past, I've had massages with Zach for relaxation and to support well-being, but after falling and fracturing my arm in February, I asked him for a very specific massageto break up the muscle adhesions resulting from having worn a sling for eight weeks. Zach's focused work on my arm had immediate results. The tightness and pain I had felt were gone after the massage, and my range of motion improved substantially following this one treatment. I recommend collateral massage along with physical therapy after an injury, and strongly recommend Zach, who is extremely knowledgable and skilled. Thank you, Zach! I'm scheduling my next massage right now.

Kellyn Carni

Amber does an awesome job! I've gotten a couple massages from her and would definitely recommend to anyone who has specific pain to address or who just wants a great massage. She's got skills!

Dan Carter

My sports massage with Grace Alex was among the very best I've ever received. My arm and back both feel like new. I'll be back enthusiastically for maintenance as needed.

Leah Young

First time visit with Zach, put me at ease right off. A self proclaimed 'anatomy nerd' went to heart of the problem for immediate relief ! Very knowledgeable and laid back. Would definitely recommend Brown Body Work!!!

Thomas Stanifer

Booked a Therapeutic Massage with Amber for my wifes birthday. Amber did an awesome job, and went above and beyond to make this experience special for my wifes needs. Amber had a wonderful personality, with a location that was easy to find, and a reasonable price. By my wifes experience, I would recommend Amber to anyone, especially if you have any restrictions that may hender the way you have to lay. Amber was able to accomodate with ease, and make this special for her.

Amber Desmond

Zach is not only an amazing massage therapist, but he has a remarkable healing touch. I felt he was professional and nurturing. I felt instantly able to relax in his presence. Technique is off the charts!

Tom Williams

Great location for both visitors and locals in Asheville. It is a convenient and easy to find location. Very professional staff and a very inviting atmosphere. I would highly recommend them!

Hannah Desmond

Having suffered for several years with shoulder pain, I recently had a session with Zach Brown of Brown Mountain Bodywork. Zach is a medical massage therapist and knew exactly what to do to relieve my shoulder pain. He is very professional and I was able to relax with him. The actual work was not painful and I received relief from a problem that had been bothering me for several years. The good news is the pain has not returned. I highly recommend his services to anyone who is seeking relief from muscle pain.

amanda reid

Amber is absolutely amazing! She uses hot stones after massaging you to really get in deep and heat areas that need to release. I never knew hot stones could be so effective and heavenly feeling until Amber's massages.

Merry Linden

My husband and I are both Massage Therapist/Bodyworkers. He surprised me with a massage session with Amber. It was the PERFECT massage for me. The pressure was deep but not painful,;the flow and rhythm of her work was totally relaxing and the use of hot stones put me away. Needless to say we've already rescheduled, even though we're an hour apart! Thank you Amber!

Angie Carter

Been seeing Zach for almost two years now. As a sign language interpreter my hands are always up and moving, massage is a life line to prevent long term injury. Upon moving to Asheville, I went to at least 5 different therapists until I found Zach, who was the right fit.

Grace Lefever

Very professional and competent! It is obvious how Zach's knowledge of anatomy, understanding of trigger points, and experience inform his treatment approach for me... and best of all, the results! Highly recommend Brown Mountain Bodywork.

Cari Barcas

A great experience! The space is inviting, comfortable, clean and centrally located. Zach was thoughtful in taking time to create a dialogue before we started about any areas of concern or ongoing issues to make sure I received the most therapeutic benefits from our session.

Laura Lefèvre

If you're looking for a massage therapist that knows how to work deeply on the psoas muscle thereby creating a tremendous lasting relaxation then Zack is your therapist! It seems that I'm getting better with each 1.5 hr session and it's one of my monthly self care routines. Thanks, Zack

Alice Aldrich

Zach does an incredible massage. He is very intuitive and always knows just where to press. One of the best I have ever been to.

Stephen Wiseman

Zach is a kind, compassionate, knowledgeable bodyworker. I've experienced pain in my back for many years and I've received such relief with Zach's assistance. Zach is attuned to my individual needs and provides great care.

Jill Burynski

Zach Brown is a talented and caring massage therapist. He is also very knowledgeable with anatomy and specific pain relief. You will get so much more than a relaxation massage when you see Zach.

Jessica Sutton

Amber was amazing she made Sure I was comfortable and relaxed and I will definitely be going back to see her!!! Also to mention was the relaxing atmosphere and calming essential oils that were used were to put the cherry on top of my wonderful experience!!!

Marisol Jiménez

After weeks of struggling with a locked up psoas, Zach was able to gently but completely release it over the course of a one-hour session. So relieved and looking forward to continuing to work with him.

Suzanne Hart

First of all, when you arrive there is plenty of parking! The building is quiet and the room is inviting with relaxing music, just the right amount of light and nice aroma therapy. Zach asked questions about my preferences and the result was a very relaxing massage!

Hannah Rose

Zach is very kind, knowledgeable and willing to work with what you’re looking for. COVID precautions were good, massage helped address the issue that I wanted addressed. Great experience.

Sharon Tucker

I loved everything about my visit… the facility was clean and inviting … the staff, kind and respectful … the massage was a perfect mix of intensity and I left with helpful information … thank you!

Susan Whisenhunt, PhD

I had my first appointment about 3 weeks ago and was looking forward to my second appointment today. I can't believe the positive progress with just the first visit. The second one went just as well. Already made my 3rd appointment. Just what I need to help recover from a pinched nerve.

Tami Davis

Grace is a skilled masseuse, detailed and communicates well on what she is doing. Checks in on how you are feeling, checks that pressure is in your liking. Listens to your needs. Recommend highly

Robert Berner

The entire experience was the best I have ever had! Zack took the time to review problem areas and used the time to concentrate there. He thoroughly explained where he thought the problem originated from and worked from there to provide relief.

Julie B

Recommend. Grace was my masseuse. She did a thorough and excellent job. Will be going back when I have the money again.
