Testimonials from Rekindled Spirits Clients
"After a recent hospital stay I was left with an achy body and headache, in spite of being healed from the primary illness. Joan came to my home the day after my release for a 90 minute massage. It was exactly what I needed to really feel well again. Time with Joan is healing at so many levels - physically, spiritually, and mentally. She is an exceptional healer, kind soul, and an intelligent and level-headed woman. I am truly blessed to have her on my wellness team!"

“I travel a lot in my job, and I look forward to a Hot Stone Massage. I can relax my mind, body and spirit as Joan works with hot stones for the best hour I have every two weeks. It’s my way to stay refreshed, relaxed and sane in this crazy world. “

I have a very stressful job and carry my stress in my upper shoulders and my back. I started getting monthly massages from Joan about 5 years ago. I would be in pain all the time. Joan has been able to keep my back and neck from aching and knotting up. Her techniques and her personality are fabulous. She really cares about what she does and makes sure her clients receive the care that they need.

I have been receiving massages from Joan for Rekindled Spirits for the last couple of years, including some hot stone massages. Joan is excellent, providing tremendous stress relief and a soothing, relaxed atmosphere, that always leaves me feeling refreshed - I would highly recommend a massage soon!

Treat yourself to a massage by Joan Gennarini; you will never want to go anywhere else. Joan makes you feel comfortable right off the bat, she talks with you about any aches and pains but also about the style of massage you have gotten in the past before she starts. Each time I have a massage, I can feel my stress levels lowered immediately and it lasts long after the session. In addition, I have had many knots and kinks worked out without feeling any pain afterwards. I just feel more loose, more relaxed and in less pain. This is a treat that really improves your life.

I would be 10X more stressed if I didn’t have a massage by Joan. I feel great after a relaxing yet rejuvenating session with her. I would recommend her to anyone!

A gift certificate for an in-home massage was the perfect present for my husband. He’s always so relaxed after a massage, but then he has to drive home. Joan came to our house, set everything up and gave him a hot stone massage in the comfort and privacy of our own home. And when she was finished she packed everything up and drove away, and he was able to bask in the warmth and joy of the experience.

I moved to Middletown, DE from Ohio a little over two years ago. I work in Washington, DC, near the capitol, and make the daily commute. It takes me approximately 6 hours a day. ( yes, that's 3 hours one way ). Hard to believe, but having two young children, wanted a community to raise the kids that my wife and I could be proud of. Middletown has a small town charm, good schools, and a growing community that has virtually everything we wanted.
I think one of the best kept secrets in Middletown is Joan who works on the second floor of the Purple Sage. She appropriately calls her space "Rekindled Spirits" because that is what occurs after you see her. My wife and I ( especially me ), have utilized her healing touch and soothing massages. Taking the train for two hours and driving to the train station for an hour wreak havoc on my back and neck ( not to mention, the daily stress of the job and children ). After an hour with Joan, the stresses and pains literally fade away. If you have stress, or aches and pains in your life, I highly recommend Joan and getting your spirits rekindled.

I was looking for something a little different to do for my mother's birthday. My mother was in the advanced stages of Alzheimers Disease and finding a gift that was meaningful or might connect with her was getting difficult. Making things more difficult was the fact that I lived out of state. My sister, who lived locally, was the primary caregiver, and I was looking for a way I could contribute more. Through visits with my mother, I knew that she actually still loved to have her hands and arms rubbed, so I decided to get her an upper body massage. I actually contacted Joan through a recommendation from another area massage therapist who I had used previously.
When I contacted Joan, I was immediately impressed with her desire to find out about my mom as a person in order to determine what massage techniques and services would be the most beneficial and pleasurable. Joan took the time to talk to me about her background, training, and experience and made me feel very comfortable. Joan also directed me to her very informative website.
I was so impressed with my initial contact with Joan that I scheduled another session for my mom about two months later and eventually scheduled a monthly session up until her death.
Following each and every session, Joan took the time to contact me and describe the session to me including what my mother was wearing and relaying anything that she might have said. This information made me feel as though I was there and was very comforting.
I have never observed Joan at work nor have I ever talked to her in person, but I do know that I can trust her. During the monthly therapy sessions, Joan would take the time to relay her observations regarding my mother's physical condition and care. This information was very valuable to my sister and me as we endeavored to make sure that my mother was receiving the proper care.
Joan didn't need to relay these observations, but it was because of her genuine concern for my mother's well being, she brought them to my attention.
Bottom line, Joan truly cared about my mom. I felt it and I could trust it and that meant the world to me. What else could you ask for?
Thank you Joan!
