I often read reviews; however, I never take the time to write them. This woman is amazing, Ankur Marwaha doesn't just give you a massage, she takes care of your body, both physically and mentally. My husband suffered a massive stroke. In addition to going to rehabilitation, our Doctor suggested massage therapy. After carefully researching online all of our options we selected Ankur,(Encore). It was the best decision we made! She is extremely professional. She listens to your ailments and gives suggestions and encouragement. She has helped both of us tremendously. Even if you are going just for stress relief or relaxation, she connects with her clients in a unique way. She is current with the latest techniques and has an extensive knowledge of different forms of massage. We don't consider ourselves spiritual people but after just one session with Ankur you will feel a peaceful, relaxation, "ZEN" that grounds you until your next massage. We have recommended many family and friends and not one was disappointed. They couldn't believe how caring she is, she even calls you a few days after your massage to see how you are doing. Ankur Marwaha gets a "10". She is one of the most important people involved with my husband's recovery as well as both of our mental health and I am confident that anyone who goes to Ankur will not be disappointed.

After having bilateral pulmonary embolism and multiple pleural effusions, I had residual chest pain. Nothing seemed to help. As a Palliative Care Nurse, I often recommend Reiki to patients. I thought I would try Reiki for my own condition. I have to say, Ankur has done wonders to ease my pain. With being able to relax and release my tension, I gave my body what it needed to heal. I never thought post embolism/effusion I would have come this far. I'm at 100% now and very grateful.

I call Ankur my angel from God. I suffered for 2 years and spent lots of money searching for someone to fix and heal my neck which I could not turn. When I found her, she explained everything to me, she was extremely thorough and of course I was optimistic, but at that time I felt so desperate I said what the hell. I went to her for 6 weeks in a row and a miracle happened, I never felt better in my life. Since then I try to get to her every 5 weeks. We do not realize how much stress we carry in our upper back and complete body throughout our life. She will always be my angel, I love her. She will research any and everything, knows every part of the body, nerves, muscles....everything. I love her.

I have been receiving massage and Reiki from Ankur Marwaha for several years. She begins each session with a review of what is going on with me. She asks about physical aches as well as other factors that may be causing me stress or anxiety. Her massage has always been incredibly therapeutic. She knows how to work out all of the deep kinks and aches in my muscles. She is intuitive and can sense where there is discomfort. As if the massage wasn't enough, she also knows how to heal using Reiki. I must say that before going to Ankur, I really did not accept or believe Reiki was for real. I would always prefer to get massage instead of Reiki. After going to Ankur, a truly gifted Reiki practitioner, I accept and embrace the gift of Reiki healing. During a session, I frequently feel a great sense of release and afterwards, a lightness and ease. Ankur always concludes the session by checking in with me to see how I am doing. She offers something to drink as well as a snack if I wish. My sense of well being has increased over the years with every session. I look forward to my sessions because I know I will find healing. I can't wait to have a session in her new office!

Ankur massaged my husband who had Parkinsons...even though he was non-verbal, I could see how good the experience was for him thought his expression. I have also been seeing Ankur for several years and she has kept me from having rounded shoulders and back...many people comment on my great posture! And the best part is that I feel better about myself. Ankur is a truly caring person who wants to do the best for each person she works with.

I was not a fan of massage therapy even though my wife had been a client of Ankur's for over a year. Knee problems led me to try Ankur's style of therapy. She has helped me become more flexible, balanced, and have better posture. I may be getting old, but I don't need to be a bent over, stiff old man! Her treatments have also greatly helped me recover from my knee replacements. Now I am a firm believer in the benefits of massage therapy.

I have been a client of Ankur's for three years. She began working with me when my foot doctor had indicated that surgery might be necessary after my plantar fasciitis returned for the third time. Ankur suggested that I come see her for at least three sessions to alleviate the problem. In the last three years, I have not had any reoccurrence of plantar fasciitis. I continue to see Ankur regularly to to loosen up tight muscles and work on being limber as I age. She is dedicated to helping me keep my overall health in its best, possible condition.

Ankur is an excellent massage therapist and a consummate professional! After my three level disectomy, she acknowledged my fierce apprehension and gently massaged the hideous scar into oblivion. Before and after surgery, she provided pain and stress relief to both my back and neck. I highly recommend her services as she devotes a 100% to her clients.
