WHAT CLIENTS SAY
A group of friends travel to Galena yearly, and this year we decided to try something different and get massages. Gerald came over to our rented house and gave 8 of us massages throughout our weekend. It was amazing!; The convenience of not having to leave the house was wonderful and Gerald made each one of us feel comfortable and thoroughly pampered after the massage session. We had a wide range of people (never had massages before, older/younger) and each person felt like a million bucks after the sessions with Gerald – he knows how to customize his massage and give each person exactly what they want/need.
We plan to make this a new yearly tradition we enjoyed it so much! Gerald is friendly, professional, and undoubtedly gives one of the best massages I've ever had! The only bad part of the experience was that it ended too quickly! Definitely book more than 60 minutes – you won't regret it!

After receiving massage work from many different spas, styles and skill levels, I am happy to say Jerry is a massage therapist at the top of my list. His philosophy is “client focus,” so he really addresses areas where I need the work. His expertise with pressure, heat and stretch make a Healing Touch massage go First Class. It is fantastic to find a therapist with finesse and experience who travels for my convenience...so my R&R weekends to Galena always include a visit with Jerry.

The convenience of having Mr. Moore come to our home for massages is a real treat. This definitely adds to the de-stressing and relaxation that we associate with our Galena home. His professional and comfortable manner make this an easy recommendation.

Jerry truly has a “healing touch”. He modifies his massage method to fit what I need at a particular session and even knows what I need without my telling him. The massage technique he uses loosens my tight muscles, relaxes and refreshes me. He skillfully combines warmth and caring with utmost professionalism.

Gerald,
I can't thank you enough for taking the time to visit with my mom and I at such
an odd time (Saturday evening, beginning at 8:30PM)... The massages were desperately needed and
greatly appreciated. A long weekend of shopping topped off with a delightfully relaxing
massage was the icing on our cake. Had it not been for your healing hands... I'm not
sure we could have finished our weekend. Again, thank you so much for your experience, it was
absolutely wonderful.
See you again next year !!!!

I've been riding and caring for horses almost all my life. I'm one of Jerry's very regular clients because he finds sore muscles and takes my body and mind to a quiet and comfortable place.

If you are looking for a professional but convenient massage look no further than Gerald Moore. After a long day at work followed by a 2.5 hour drive to Galena from Chicago, my upper back and shoulders were burning with excruciating muscle pain from tension. We were staying at Bernadine's Stillman Inn where the owner, Dave, highly recommended Gerald. Gerald gave me a fabulous full body massage and really helped my troubled areas. He really cared about my comfort and relaxation. I found Gerald to be warm, friendly, and personable. And his price was very fair - worth every penny!
My fiancé and I were engaged that evening! Gerald's massage helped make it the perfect day!

I would not consider a visit to the Galena area without first contacting Gerald Moore prior to my arrival to arrange a massage therapy session. Do not pass up an opportunity to take advantage of the benefits of any one of Gerald’s massage therapies. Gerald’s sessions are an extremely good value and you will not be disappointed.

Twelve years ago our family began renting homes in Galena. We needed time to reconnect with each other. More importantly we wanted to get to know our grandchildren, spend quality time hiking, playing card games, roasting marshmallows and creating memories. Several years ago, we "found" Jerry... & what a find he is. If you do one thing in your life for yourself, it should be a massage from Jerry. The best part is that he will come to your home; you never have to get out of your robe or dress to drive home! Professional and reasonable.

I'm a 42 year old dance teacher trying to keep up with my 15 year old students. "Sore" is my middle name. Jerry's deep tissue massage is the only relief some of my muscles ever feel. He works magic on my tight, overworked calf muscles. I go to Galena just to see Jerry!

Having a massage with Gerald was not only an invigorating experience, it was a learning one. I felt so great after the massage, I could walk better, I had less arthritic pain, I felt so wonderful, and it lasted for several days. Gerald also gave me some tips on exercises for my neck pain, and I have been doing them every day for the last several months, and it has helped tremendously.
He is very intuitive and asks many questions prior to the start of the massage, and proceeds from there. It was
such an enjoyable experience, I am going to book him for a longer massage next time, I was so sad when he told
me the time was up!
I would highly recommend Gerald, he really knows his craft.

My husband and I take an annual trip to Galena for my December birthday. A massage from Jerry is ALWAYS on the itinerary. Jerry has been doing them for us since 2004. He is kind enough to come to the B&B we stay at... massage table, oils, and music in tow - so we don't even have to leave the room! He is the only massage therapist my husband will return to, and my personal favorite (of many trials over the years).
We have unique story to share. Prior to meeting Jerry, we had battled infertility issues for three years. Many doctors visits and failed treatments left us frustrated. Today we have two beautiful children, ages 1 and 3, both conceived during the month following our massages. I'm not claiming the he is a fertility specialist, but we definitely believe that the relaxation and tranquility experienced during our professional massages played a role- twice! For that we will forever be grateful!

Gerald's healing touch works wonders after a day of skiing or a round of golf. I especially enjoy that he brings the service directly to me so immediately following there is no need to drive or feel any additional stress. Best of all is the extra special foot care! Every time the family visits Galena, the healing touch is out first call!

Dear Gerry,
I have now used you several times for massages during our trips to Galena and want to tell you how much I appreciate your excellent work. For a number of years I have received weekly massages from a person in the Chicago Area whom I regarded highly. I have had massages at some of the upscale resorts in such places as Phoenix, AZ (all of which were very mechanical).
What I have particularly appreciated is that you not only ask, but listen to what might be a particular ache that day. Further, I was particularly impressed that during the massage you also sense tenseness that was not mentioned. Finally, it is terrific that one has the option of having you come to their home or go to your office.
Keep up the excellent work,

Hi Gerald,
I just wanted to pass on my gratitude and thanks for providing me with one of the best massage experiences I have ever had. Your experience and intuitiveness directed you to the areas on my body that were overstressed and needing the most attention. The result was one of pure relaxation and de-stressing.
Our group's yearly trip to Galena will now not be complete without a visit from you and your healing touch - I'm increasing my massage therapy session from 60 to 90 minutes!
Thanks!

Getting a massage by Gerald was the best experience! I enjoyed it very much. Not only did he make me feel completely comfortable, but I felt like butter by the end of the massage. BEST massage I have ever gotten and I have gone to many spas! HIGHLY recommended. Tell a friend!
