"Renuka was referred to me after a long search for someone that was qualified to do myofascial release massage. Scar tissue from a bilateral mastectomy, lymph node removal and awful "cording", that seemed tighter after radiation, are some of the issues I took to her. After four visits it is hard to put into words how much difference her special massage geared toward cancer treatment, recovery and survivorship has meant to me. My body feels, honestly, "like it belongs to me again". She is professional, knowledgeable, and specialized in oncology training that addresses the issues & side effects of cancer or treatments for cancer. Oncology massage and myofascial release are integrated medicine and often, unfortunately, surgeons and radiologists do not incorporate this care into their recovery plans. Renuka's touch and encouraging demeanor are healing in themselves with techniques that are geared uniquely to her client. This review does, in no way, encompass all the many massage modifications she does for pain relief and how nurtured I have felt in her care since this "recovery" process has begun. Truly am thankful I have found her!" - Norma R., Concord, NC. as posted on Google & Yelp

"Renuka is guided by what my body is in need of. She notices and tells me to "relax" whenever the mind brings in tension. Also information and guidance is given concerning areas that have problems. I leave feeling better- whether due to injury or stress, I'm in a better place after my session" - Allison, CA -posted on FaceBook, Yelp

"Value, quality and affordability. Renuka has created a space for you to relax and heal. She has gifted hands and a passion to give you the best service. My time off is limited and I enjoy being able to book a massage and a facial without separate trips or room changes! I have also had the pleasure of working with Renuka professionally with breast health. She brings a wealth of knowledge and skills to help you in your journey toward health and pain free function".- Rachel T.H., Charlotte, NC - posted on Google

Renuka is amazing. She is the best massage therapist I have encountered. She takes time at your initial session to do a full history of issues, diseases, etc. She is certified in oncology massage & as a breast cancer survivor, she was the first one to work through my scar tissue at the lymph node biopsy site that has bothered me for over 6 years!"- Suzanne Z., CA. as posted on Yelp

"I have been using Renuka for several years now and have been more than pleased with the therapeutic work she has used with me. She is very knowledgeable, and I appreciate her experience/expertise in several forms of energy work. She pays attention to the condition of my whole body and not just the "problem" exhibiting at the moment. She does true therapeutic massage and I am grateful that she continues to educate herself on other methods to help her clients. She is patient and listens to what I have to share and is a cornerstone in my physical care. I have no reservations in recommending her and cannot imagine using anyone else." - Diane S.

“I have found the level of care, cleanliness and professionalism here to be paramount. Best of all is the level of healing I have experienced. I have been recieving massage with cupping and have had a substantial amount of pain relief, increased range of motion and mental clarity, reduction in depression symptoms as well. This is beyond the average massage therapy, Renuka is truly a master of the healing arts.” - Hakeemah Eileen Ahmed on Google

“I first heard Renuka describe massage for lymph and breast tissue care during an online workshop for the Pink House in Charlotte. I contacted her about an issue I was having following breast cancer surgery. I was developing lumps of scar tissue that was limiting my range of motion. She taught me to massage and dry brush the area which has improved my lymph drainage and smoothed my scars. I've continued to see her for massage and learn something new each time we meet. She has a wonderful touch and comfortable massage table. She follow strict Covid-19 guidelines and provides professional service.” - Toni Burke on Google

“ I’ve been going to Santulan since the beginning of the year. The first massage I got I didn’t tell Renuka that my hips were bothering me, but as soon as she started the massage she told me my hips were out of alignment. She’s very knowledgeable, very thorough and the massages are unlike any massage I’ve ever had. The massage bed is very comfortable and the room is cozy!! I’ve recommended my friends, family and would recommend anyone to Santulan!” - S B on Google

“ Renuka is wonderful at what she does. She understands the body and how to alleviate pain. I always thought if my back wasn’t sore from the strong pressure after a massage, they didn’t get the job done. Boy was I wrong. Renuka was very gentle but yet I felt relief from the aches and pains in my back after my massage. She truly cares about addressing your issues. She even gave me exercises to do at home to help with problem areas. As everyone else has said in their reviews, she knows what she’s doing and you should definitely go see her!” - Teri Connor on Google
