"Ronit is a gem! While I was pregnant, I went to Ronit for prenatal massages and each time I saw her, I left feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and my body felt relief from pregnancy aches and pains. Ronit's energy will make you feel taken care of and soothed. Her space is very clean and comfortable. She offers dates and water upon arrival and makes you feel at home. She has an amazing ability to position your body and pillows in such a way that your pregnant body is very comfortable during the massage. A true skill especially in those final weeks. I highly recommend and will be going back for more massages postpartum!"
