TestimonialsAmid a time of considerable stress, my session with Debbye was a true respite. The massage was outstanding –Debbye was able to work deeply without causing any discomfort. She incorporated aromatherapy into the session, which enhanced the profoundly relaxing and rejuvenating experience. After my massage, a session in the ‘SteamyWonder’ was a real treat. This steam tent left me feeling warm, relaxed, and cleansed. As a physician, I immediately began to see the clinical value of this treatment, as many could benefit from regular steam sessions to support detoxification pathways, to increase circulation, and to decrease pain and inflammation. I now recommend this treatment to all my patients who need additional support in these areas. Debbye is a true gem in Colorado Springs, with a gentle but effective manner and a strong healing presence. I am so happy to have connected with her!
-- Dr Grace Calihan ND, LAc, Springs Natural Medicine, Colorado Springs, CO Debbye’s healing hands set me on a journey of healing. Her deep understanding of the healing art of massage has helped me to heal physically and emotionally. I have been receiving her nourishing touch for over ten years and give her the credit for helping me to improve awareness of my body, to quit smoking, to heal from traumatic emotional loss, improve my circulation, relieve stress, eliminate toxins, enhance my immune function and foster a peace of mind. Debbye has an uncanny ability to tune into the areas in my body that need attention. All I have to do is relax. I’m safe in her healing hands. Thank you, Debbye, for the unwavering love and dedication you give every day – it is truly inspirational. -- Denise W., Colorado Springs As a person with Spinal Cord Injury, receiving treatment from a competent LMT was often problematic. To be kind, the treatment often received was less than therapeutic and fraught with awkwardness. I went to more than 50 Licensed Massage Therapists in Colorado Springs before finally being referred to Mrs. Hughes. Not only was she knowledgeable about the treatment of those with disability, Mrs. Hughes utilizes an electronic elevating table making it easy to transfer on and off the treatment table. She was also aware of the different components of my disability and took the time to familiarize herself with effective treatment strategies to help me. I have now been a weekly client of Debbye’s for more than 10 years. I can always be assured that the treatment I receive, be it: Swedish massage; Sports massage, Myofascial, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Medi-cupping, Ultrasound, stretching, trigger point release, or steam treatment, is always professionally administered and focused upon my areas needing care. There is no one better! – Mark Shepherd, Colorado Springs After being hit in a head on collision in 2006, I underwent physical therapy for two years to try and fix my back injuries which involved a lot of torn muscles and joints. Therapy sometimes made me feel worse than the accident itself. By 2009 I had been taking pain medications for three years and was advised by my doctor that would be the remedy for the rest of my life. I started seeing Debbye in 2011 and explained that I had a lot of injuries and scar tissue damage in my back and asked if she could help. She began deep tissue massage, hot stones, and medi-cupping on my back for about a month and I began to feel better. Not only did the daily stress go away but my back became more flexible. As this was happening I began working out with my weights again and my back pain has eased up by at least 60 percent. My body has started rejecting the pain meds for some strange reason after all these years and I am all but done taking them. Being a professional mechanic by trade I sometimes overwork my back and resort to some medications occasionally now but I don’t need them every night like I use to. Getting a massage from Debbye is the most relaxing thing you could ever do for yourself! I highly recommend her to anyone with injuries, pain, insomnia, stress, anxiety, or anyone who just wants to get grounded and clear their minds! -- JC Coffin, Colorado Springs I received three Steamy Wonder treatments as part of an overall body detoxification. What an amazing experience! Debbye is a true professional and made me feel comfortable and relaxed before, during and after each treatment. Each session was approximately 20 minutes and I really appreciated the fact that my head was outside the steam tent the entire time. The treatments improved my circulation and eliminated some excess water retention, leaving me feeling totally cleansed and rejuvenated! Pure nirvana! -- Kelly B., Colorado Springs "I recently had the opportunity to enjoy 'SteamyWonder', an incredible steam tent that helps detoxify and sooth soreness. After 20 minutes of wet heat, I felt refreshed and rejuvenated. The experience was incredible! I highly recommend anyone that hasn't tried 'SteamyWonder' to give it a shot. I am going to add this into my routine massage therapy. -- MES, Colorado Springs What I really liked about this steam treatment, vs. others, was that my head was out of the steam tent. I could breathe easier & receive all the benefits of a heated treatment comfortably. Debbye's ability to maintain & change the heat level to suit me personally is also a huge plus. I will do this again and recommend it to others without hesitation. -- Pete Y., Colorado Springs The skin is the largest organ of elimination in our body, so sweating is one of the best methods to promote detoxification. Using a sauna or steam room in a gym can be effective but it is not always hygienic or comfortable. I have used Debbye's SteamyWonder for myself & recommend it for my patients. It is a great way to reduce the body's burden of chemicals, heavy metals, inflammation, chronic viral infections, arthritic conditions, autoimmune disorders & chronic fatigue. Debbye provides a warm, safe & comfortable environment for both massage therapy & detox steam treatments, & I highly recommend it to anyone seeking more optimal health. -- Dr. Julieanne Neal, ND, CMT Boulder Natural Health, Boulder, CO I am now a firm believer in steam therapy. I was first leery about having the steam treatment since I do not like saunas. They give me a sense of being trapped & can't breathe so I usually can handle them for maybe 5-10 minutes. The treatment room put me at ease due to the tranquil setting along with my head being outside of the steam tent & Debbye being there the whole time comforting me, ensuring that the temperature was right & applying cool compresses. I can't believe I was in the treatment tent for 20 minutes. After the treatment, I felt really refreshed & relaxed. I haven't had that feeling in about 25 years. I would highly recommend this treatment to anyone & can't wait for my next appointment. Debbye is a true professional in all aspects of massage therapy. She is the best. -- Aaron K., Colorado Springs Body silently, secretly weeping, calmly relaxing, gently releasing, cleansing, healing… What a wonderful feeling! The SteamyWonder treatment has enabled my body to begin an amazing healing process. I highly recommend this treatment for over-all well being. Debbye makes sure you are comfortable throughout the process and assures a relaxing and renewing experience. -- Diana S., Colorado Springs I've been to several different massage therapists ranging from people working in their home to 5 star resort/spas both domestic and international - Debbye is my favorite. I wouldn't want to go to any one else again. I started seeing her initially for stress relief and relaxation, but after having children came to see her for specific aches and pains. She has the perfect amount of pressure to help my body without it hurting. I always feel better for weeks after seeing her. The atmosphere at her office is so welcoming and calming - I immediately start to relax when I come in. I would highly recommend making an appointment with her - she is gifted at what she does. – Cayla Mugge, Castle Rock, CO |
