"It was the height of the pandemic and I hadn’t had a massage in months. Erika led a couples massage class (over Zoom) and it was fantastic! Not only was it just what we needed, but Erika’s knowledge and excellent teaching made the class fun and informative. I’m excited for her new classes and can’t wait to participate in person."
