Kathy took the time to find out what areas needed the most attention. At the time of my appointment I was suffering from sciatica pain. Kathy gave an excellent full body massage and focused on my areas of discomfort. At the end of the hour, I was completely relaxed and my sciatica pain was gone! Thank you Kathy! I look forward to my next massage. Maria C.

A wonderful and relaxing massage by a professional who actually listens to her client. Thank you to Kathy for providing a new place that I can return to receiving massage therapy! Missy Y.

I have had both a full massage and a chair massage with Kathy. Both were amazing! Looking forward to using her services again. Professional, calm, kind, I just love her! Kerriann K.

I had a muscle flare up this week from an injury I sustained in a car accident in 2013 and had been in horrible pain, so I called up my girl Kathy Tippel with The Calming Effect, desperate for relief. I could barely move around or sleep for 2 days and when I left after 1 session with Kathy, my range of motion was back with ZERO pain. I slept like a baby and woke up with that good kind of sore after a great massage. I can’t thank you enough, Kathy. If you’re in Tampa Bay, I highly recommend you try The Calming Effect out. Aimee L.
