What Our Customers say?
If you come to St. Pete you can hear about Loretta’s techniques when it comes to body alignment and releasing everything we carry, we ignore, we brush under the carpet. She is the only person I would allow working on me. And her skincare are all under holistic protocols by SkinGuru. Say no more.

Thank you ABs for the 5 star review!! 🤩
Loretta is THE best massage therapist. I’ve had so many over the years, but her knowledge on fascia and her techniques are absolutely not replaceable. I wish I could see her everyday! She helped me heal many of my workout injuries and has THE best techniques!! Book with Loretta before she books up

Thank you Ellen! I love seeing your pretty face 🩷
Loretta is absolutely gifted. She is able to find the source of your pain and provide true relief in a way I’ve been unable to find through trying a variety of other methods. She is irreplaceable when it comes to fascia work and is a joy to be around.

Thank you so much for sharing this! ❤️ I’m so happy I could help bring you relief — it truly means the world to me.
I had an incredible full body stretch session at Body Therapy and Skin, and I can honestly say it was one of the most effective bodywork experiences I’ve ever had. The session included deep fascia release, targeted stretching, and even Theragun work — all of which combined to loosen up tight muscles that had built up from intense workouts.
Loretta is truly gifted. Not only did she expertly work through the tension in my body, but she was also able to focus on an old hamstring injury that has been bothering me for ages. Her holistic approach goes far beyond just stretching — it felt like physical therapy, massage, and mindfulness all in one. I left feeling more open, aligned, and at ease both physically and mentally.
Thank you, Loretta, for your magic hands (and feet)! I can’t recommend this place enough if you’re looking for real, lasting body relief and a sense of full-body reset.

Wow, thank you so much for this amazing review! ❤️ I’m so happy to hear the session helped you feel more open and at ease, and that we could work through your hamstring injury together. It means so much to know you left feeling reset and relieved — can’t wait to see you again!
Loretta has God sent hands. It is hard to find a masseuse that is so attentive to a clients individual needs & Loretta is just that. She will go the extra mile to make sure you leave the service feeling your absolute best. For deep tissue work - she is 100% the best masseuse I’ve had. As someone who has chronic tightness - Loretta has been an angel for my condition. Go see her now!! She is amazing.

Thank you so much Melissa. We always love serving you
Rejuvenated! Myofascia massage, stretch and lymph drainage did wonders in opening me up. I felt like a new woman leaving simply after 1 appointment. Amazing what a difference this appointment made.

Thank you so much Lauren. We always love serving you and your beautiful smile 🙂
Loretta is a very knowledgeable therapist.
Her techniques are gentle enough that they do not leave me in pain and thorough enough that they are effective on my problem areas.
She has helped me alleviate back pain on many occasions caused by my scoliosis and work.
I highly recommend anyone to see her, especially if they are experiencing limitations like lack of range of motion in the shoulder or low back pain or chronic sciatica. She can help with all of these issues. Even for people who are not having chronic issues with pain, her techniques will help you to increase range of motion and flexibility, plus she is a very knowledgeable trainer as well and can give you exercises that will keep you from having a reoccurring problem.

Thank you so much for your awsome 5 star review!!! 
I’ve seen Loretta a few times now for back pain, and every session has been amazing — but I noticed huge relief even after just one visit. The difference was immediate. This isn’t a regular massage, it’s real bodywork that gets into the fascia and releases so much built-up tension. My posture felt better, my back pain eased up, and I could move more freely right away.
At first, I’ll admit I was a little intimidated by the hanging contraption she used. But once Loretta explained it and showed me how it worked, I was amazed at how effective it was. It really helped stretch and release areas I didn’t even realize were so tight. Now I love it!
Loretta has a deep knowledge of the body and explains what she’s doing in a way that makes sense. You can tell she has years of experience, and she really cares about helping you feel better long-term, not just giving temporary relief.
If you’re dealing with pain or just want to feel lighter and more mobile, I can’t recommend her enough. She’s made such a big difference for me

Thank you Karina for your wonderful words and your 5 star review! 🙂
There is no one that has a touch like Loretta. My journey of body work with her has been life changing. I had chronic neck pain, and with her consistent treatment and guidance, I feel better than I have in years and also have the best posture of my life! Also I’ll say the best facial of all time, she literally makes me glow.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do a review for us! xoxo
I just love Loretta’s Body and Skin Care.
I’ve benefitted greatly from her stretch package, and have referred friends. I’ve also had a couple of facials for special events. My skin looked and felt so glorious afterwards.
I really enjoy how friendly, professional and cozy her treatment facility is.

Thank you so much Margaret! We love that you are feeling better! 🙂
Loretta is a master… She has been involved in bodywork for most of her life. I’m here as a testament to her healing abilities. I spent most of my adult life with neck and lower back pain. Her stretching method and moshing therapy literally takes the stress, tension and anxiety away from my body. Everyone she touches knows how amazing she is.🙏

Thank you so much Maureen! Your the best! Miss you! xo
I’ve been seeing Loretta for two years. I’ve also tried everything - and I do mean everything - to resolve an ongoing soft tissue disorder and chronic pain. Loretta was the first therapist I found who knew and spoke the language of fascia. She educated me, helped me understand the actual origin of my pain and
—rather than just do a generic deep tissue massage—she started a protocol that addressed my years of neck and back pain that nobody else has ever been able to effectively treat. She’s a great listener, gets to know *your* specific body mechanics and will build an ongoing relationship with you that yields real results. I’m eternally grateful I found her!
