"Hi Shelly,
Just wanted to let you know that your massages have been great for me. The first time I went I was desperate, it was the weekend and I couldn't go to the city for my regular Chinese shitsu which I was doing twice a week, in order to relieve pain. So I went to you. The breathing along with the massage seemed a little too much work for me at first, but then I realized it was helping to work out the knots and pains. I felt like I was floating on air. I went back last week before I went on vacation for a maintenance session. Instead I discovered knots and pains which made me realize that I had started to carry around pain again, even though I felt 'normal' before that, just a little tension here and there. You worked out knots and pains in my muscles which I didn't even know I had...Since I started treatments with you I haven't had to go to my Chinese shiatsu sessions at all, your massage is so much better. So, keep up the good work."
See you after vacation, thanks!" Pauline
"I have sufffered with the effects of Post Polio Syndrome and was always searching for relief from the pain and discomfort until I met Shelly. She has an intuitive sense of how to ease pain and got me back to feeling healthy again. I am so grateful to her, and I would recommend everyone try her wonderful massage."

"My name is Vincent McCrudden. I am a Hedge Fund manager and am 47 years old. When I was young, I was a professional soccer player and amateur boxer. Over the years, my body has slowed considerably, but I still try and manage a decent workout at least a couple of times a week.
"I recently was introduced to Shelly through a friend of mine. Because of the nature of my business, my body and mind are under constant stress. Shelly comes into my home and releases the tension in my muscles, and alleviates the stress in my mind so I can think clearly and so that my body can handle the stress. Shelly’s knowledge of the muscle groups of the body, their correlation to one another, and trigger points make her an invaluable health care provider for me.
"I recently started using her services, and already I can see tremendous results with how my body responds while at work. Shelly is also a unique and intelligent individual and it is a pleasure to be able to work with her. I fully intend to keep Shelly’s services a part of my life for as long as possible. I would highly recommend her invaluable services."

"I have osteoarthrits in my neck and upper back from an auto accident 20 years ago. This causes pain, muscle spasms and stiffness in the surrounding muscles.
" I have seen many massage therapists and gotten plenty of massages. Shelly Kalef is by far, the best. Shelly is able to find all your trouble spots and completely work them out with her unique technique. I had never experienced that before. I leave her office feeling completely relaxed and spasm free. She is truly dedicated to her work. "

"Hi Shelly,
I just recommended a friend to you... and want to thank you again for the massage on Mother's Day, I've had no pain since, I had a few sort of shooting spasms in my neck the next day — I've never had that before, but they went away and no problems since..nothing like the knots I had originally. I feel like I dropped 20lbs from my shoulders. I feel wonderful, even though I'm still sitting all day, so I will make an appointment with you aga. Do you have anything this Sunday or Monday?
Thanks!"

"When I went to Shelly Kalef for a massage, for relief of intense pain in my neck and shoulders (especially my left shoulder), Shelly told me she had her own unique technique she used to help clients with chronic pain relief in their neck and shoulders. I've since learned that she calls it the K3D technique, for Kalef's 3- Dimensional therapy. We started the massage and Shelly went to work on my problem areas with intense focus (and whatever else she does) for quite a long time. But as she worked deeper and deeper, I could feel the release of the pain/problem spots. The pain seemed to melt away, with the stroking, kneading technique Shelly uses. Her intense efforts have paid off for me, I've been mostly pain free ever since. All that remained was just some minor soreness in those area which disappeared in a day or so. I believe Shelly really has something here with her technique — or just miracle hands. And even more importantly, she really cares and tries her hardest to help her clients out (me included, of course), and I'm very grateful to her for that and all her help."
