Vivian has saved me more than a few times. She had a deep understanding of the functional aspects of the body, her treatments are more than a massage. Her peace and attention to detail have brought me deep relief when my body was on high alert. If you are in pain or in need of rest go see her. You will not be disappointed.

Vivian did a fantastic job fixing shoulder issues I'd been dealing with for months

I drive over 1.5 hours just to go here. I had an amazing sesh with Vivian. She applied the suction cup therapy to my shoulders and back. It's the first time I had suction and it was amazing. She followed up with a deep tissue massage I would highly recommend Vivian and Double Iris.

I received the absolute best massage I’ve ever had with Trish. Better than any prescribed physical therapy… She really worked out my fibromyalgia pain. I will definitely be back.

I had my first professional massage with Tricia as a birthday gift, and it was a truly wonderful experience. From the moment I walked in, the environment at Double Iris was calm and welcoming. The soothing sounds and subtle aromas in the massage room created the perfect atmosphere for relaxation. Tricia was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and skilled, making me feel completely at ease. She also took special care to address the tightness around my elbow injury, which provided much-needed relief. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience, and I highly recommend her services!

Yesterday I had my first massage with Tricia at Double Iris AND my first Sarga experience. I highly recommend this type of massage if you’re looking for medium/deep tissue work. Tricia was welcoming, kind and informative given I had no idea what Sarga was going into it. I now prefer it over a hands only deep tissue massage as the pressure is more evenly distributed over a larger area versus an elbow dug into my back. I was a bit sore after but kept hydrated and slept like a baby. This morning I woke up with zero pain in my lower back for the first time in weeks! Highly recommended and definitely will be back.

(PS - I also recommend double iris for the yoga classes in case you’re looking for something to do in between massages ☺️)

On Saturday I experienced my first Sarga massage. It was by far the best body work I’ve ever had. I was a little sore afterwards a hot bath took care of that and still today (Tuesday) I feel the positive effects, my body feels looser and more flexible. I highly recommend Tricia for Sarga!

I had the most fortunate opportunity to be a part of Tricia's practice sessions twice for her Sarga Bodywork Certification and oh my goodness what a treat. I cannot accurately explain the release and sensations. It was almost like an out of body experience. It was kind of like an electric feeling before my muscles spasmed and released all kinds of tension. I left there elated and with the biggest smile on my face. I cannot wait to see this bodywork again. Once again Tricia has exceeded my expectations which are pretty high with her since she is amazing and I have been a client of hers since 2018 and have personally witnessed her amazing growth. She is always learning and I will always be her guinea pig!!!!!

I attended a class with Lisa Craiger and from the moment I entered to space it was one of the best, if not the very best, yoga experience I've had. She made me feel so warm and welcomed. She made the class fun, while offering lots of options for different levels of experience. Lisa was engaging the entire time and genuine, too. I believe that whether I had a ton of experience, or very little experience, it would have been a perfect class. I am excited to see more yoga options in Shepherdstown! Charles Town is just a bit far.

I booked a massage with Tricia at the Shepherdstown studio and it was amazing! She listened to my needs and it’s obvious that she’s very mindful/intentional about each of her movements throughout the session and takes her craft seriously. I’m making it a goal to return monthly!

Hands down best massage experience I have ever had. Tricia is so skilled at what she does, and holds space very well. I feel reborn after this massage!!! She made me feel comfortable, the amount of pressure and clear communication was amazing. The studio is beautiful and relaxing. I had so much tightness I didn’t even realize was there, and feels sooooo much better to have released it. I can’t wait to go back for another massage! I can’t imagine life without one haha. Would recommend Tricia’s services & expertise to everyone!

I honestly can’t say enough about the experience I had today at Double Iris Yoga & Massage.
I have been heavy lifting, running myself down this holiday season with neck/ shoulder/ back tension.
During my massage, I was blown away by how much technique, time & attention Tricia fit into ONE hour.
Not only did she help alleviate pain, but she also helped release emotional stress built up in my body.
Having had many massages in my life I have to say that I have never felt so pampered.
I highly recommend Double Iris, I highly recommend Tricia.
Thank you Tricia!!

Wow. Where do I even begin? I booked a couples massage last night and it was the most incredible experience. As far as my own personal experience: I have always had back pain due to my scoliosis. I think this causes issues in my shoulder, hip, and predominantly in my feet. Trish is a true healer and found my areas of tension, focused on those areas, applied cupping, and helped release these knots. When she worked her way down to my feet (not gonna lie), I was really nervous because it is an area of pure discomfort. I could feel the tension leaving my feet and being released throughout my body—WOW. Slight discomfort at first, but she worked it out. At the end of the service, I realized I was in no shape to drive. That this was the most relaxed I have been in a while. Thank you so much for the most enjoyable and relaxing experience.

I'm here caring for family and could feel the stress mounting. I emailed Tricia to see if she had a spot to fit me in. She was prompt getting back to be and had an appointment that was convenient. The session was evenly paced and she asked questions to affirm my comfort level throughout. The environment is welcoming. If I'm in need of massage in Shepherdstown again I plan to book with her!

I had the sublime experience of receiving my first massage from Vivian Emmons yesterday. I've been a massage regular at DIYM with Tricia for the past 3+ years. She is my partner in my ongoing battle with chronic pain, and I couldn't be more grateful for her healing touch.

I was a bit apprehensive being worked on by a different massage therapist. Vivian put my fears to rest in the first few minutes. She has a calm, soothing voice and presence, and was very attentive to my particular areas of concern. She asked frequently if I was comfortable with her pressure, and was most accommodating. I felt so much better afterward!

Thanks Vivian, for such a positive first experience with you. I now know I'm in very capable hands until Tricia's return. That's very reassuring. I'm looking forward to seeing you again, very soon!

Edit: I'd be remiss if I didn't include my praise for the cbd salve manufactured right here in Shepherdstown by Samantha Savoca at Meditative Medicinals. It is an integral part of my pain management. I request it with every massage, and I never run out at home...ever.
Sam has created something really special there. Thank you Sam!

I’m a long time client of Tricia’s (the amazing owner of Double Iris), first through massage in December 2020 & consistently at her yoga studios in Charles Town and Shepherdstown since May 2021. Tricia’s patience, knowledge, and compassion allowed me to slowly discover this yoga thing! I now crave the workout and clarity yoga provides me on and off the mat. Thank you, Tricia, for providing this space and bringing teachers to your studio that encourage and welcome me every-time I open the door to your studio….about 3 times a week now 😍
I’m also a mental health professional practicing locally in the Panhandle (before, during and after the pandemic); Incorporating yoga and massage into my self-care is vital. I’ve learned what it means to “leave it on the mat” & by doing so I’m more present and joyful in my life. Root to rise! Namaste, Cynthia.

Vivian gave a great massage with very good stretching as well for my shoulder which was having issues. I’d come back to her again when in the area.

Wow. I have no words!! Except the many words I’m going to use to try and describe my experience with Vivian! I’m in awe. I’ve spent hours IN TEARS following my deep tissue therapy earlier. She gave an entirely new meaning to the name of the game. It was literal therapy, not only did we release much needed physical tension, but emotional and spiritual as well. I’m still choking up as I type this out. I’ve seen my fair share of massage therapist and I have had many great ones, some good, and others...just sucked but good on them for trying we all gotsta start somewhere!! Anyways..she is (by a landslide) the best I’ve ever had. I will be going back weekly from now on..and I suggest you go too. And do the yogas, their yoga is FIRE. Can’t review that one completely yet as I’ve only attended one session, but it was enough to keep me coming back for more.

I’m 32 and I’ve been lifted for 17 years, bodybuilding and powerlifting for 6 and fighting for 2 and I’ve got to say just after our first 60 minute session I’ve never felt this good and been this hopeful about competing in the future. She gave me my hope back, and my youth. Looking forward to working with these folk more! If this hasn’t convinced you to go then good luck wasting your time with other yogis and massage therapist!!

It is so nice to find personal touch in the middle of the pandemic. Had a 60 minute massage from Tricia that far exceeded any massages that i have had. Both Tricia and her studio emits such positive energy. I came out of the massage both relaxed and energized. It's obvious when someone is doing both what they love and what they have a talent for. I will be a regular for body, mind and spirit care.

I have not gotten to go into the studio but if the customer service I received was any indicator of what to come then I'm excited. They were so nice to honor a groupon for me that expired and to help me as much as possible. Will def bring friend and if you have. Saturday morning open they have small hike up bee canyon and yoga when you get up half way. If your not into a big hike it's nice and refreshing

Tricia is an incredible teacher and human being. I have taken two virtual yoga classes with her via Zoom, and I cannot recommend her enough. If you are unable to make it to her studio for an in-person class, virtual classes with Tricia are a perfect way to stay grounded during this time. Although I attended the back care class twice, each practice was different, and she offered several variations for all levels. I will definitely be taking more classes with her in the future.

I had my first appointment with Tricia yesterday for massage. Wow...totally exceeded my expectations! I have dealt with chronic back pain for decades, along with a couple surgeries with less than ideal outcomes. I've been apprehensive to pursue massage therapy, as some areas of my spine are exceedingly tender to even light touch, especially around implanted hardware. Tricia took my history and listened carefully to my concerns. This was apparent during massage, as her touch was tender precisely where it needed to be. She was very attentive to my comfort throughout. CBD oil was a very pleasant addition to therapy. Afterwards, I felt better than I have felt in years, truly. Tricia was genuinely pleased that I was pleased, and that was nice. I'm already looking fwd to my next visit.

Tricia is a rare gem, and she has a gift. I highly recommend seeking her out for an extraordinary massage experience. Your only regret will be that you didn't do it sooner!

I WILL be back REGULARLY and will recommend her to EVERYONE!
