Summer Safety With Dr. Tanya Altmann
Massage therapist at Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine to melt those tensions away “I see the acupuncturists at Denise Noyer-Erez, L.Ac and Associates and decided to try one of their massage therapists. I used Penny, and she was so wonderful. I never experienced the techniques she used. My muscle tension just melted away. I am really picky with my massages because I usually like really deep pressure and she would check in with me periodically to make sure the pressure was good. I felt so relaxed and comfortable. I can’t wait to go back. If you are looking for a really good massage, give her a try. They are having a summer special. Call 805-497-2625 or 818-774-9844.” ~Michelle M.

These pricing differences impact household budgets and are particularly significant for families who have frequent dentist visits.
