Darren does great work. I've been seeing him for about a year, and have noticed a measurable difference in my exercise and recovery ability. A lot of the issues I'd written off as just being a 50 year old weight lifter/crossfit attempter have noticeably improved or disappeared. Can't recommend enough.
You've been amongst the very best parts of moving into this practice full time. Thank you for sharing this recommendation!
Courtney F.
Darren was excellent. I scheduled a massage due to some back issues I have been having and felt so much better after my appointment! Looking forward to my next appointment already!
Cris Rivas Indy
This was my first visit to Beech Grove Wellness. I love it! My massage was excellent - Darren knows what he is doing. I’ve been having a lot of upper back/shoulder/neck pain. My muscles feel so relaxed. I feel like I’m starting to get my body more balanced. You can tell that a lot of care and attention has gone into creating the space and the environment. I will go back and next time maybe spend more time browsing through the books.
Thank you so much!
Austin Baker
This is the real deal. As a bigger guy it’s been hard to find someone who could actually manage the pressure level that makes a difference for me. I’d given up until I was recommended to try this place, 100% worth it and hoping to come regularly as soon as I can.
Thank you for the detailed review, Austin! I look forward to seeing you again!
Alex
i felt super comfortable the whole time & walked away with less pain than i've had in awhile. if you're looking for a great massage & a place you can feel good about spending your money, this is it. thanks again! :)
Thank you for these kind words! I look forward to seeing you again!
Ben Sargent
I had a great massage. I was able to explain my problem areas and Darren did an amazing job using just enough pressure to smooth everything out.
Thank you for the review!! I look forward to seeing you again!
Jessika Filler
I'm a huge fan of Darren's. I absolutely love the Beech Grove location, it is so warm and welcoming to all. Darren does a great job listening to my needs and curing what ails me, and I love a hot cup of tea afterward. I look forward to visiting many more times. Thank you for everything, Darren!
Thank you so much, Jessika! I'm so glad to be part of your wellness journey!
Lyndsay Miller
Darren is amazing. Super skilled and incredibly reasonable. I won’t go anywhere else for massage.
Thank you so much!!
Jeni Hamilton
Wonderful experience. Darren really helped my neck and shoulders. Absolutely recommend! The space is also amazing.
Annette Montgomery
If you’re reading this review trying to decide whether to book a massage: STOP SCROLLING AND JUST DO IT. Darren gives a solid firm pressure massage without sacrificing the elements of relaxation. He’s incredibly kind, easy to talk to, and makes you feel completely at ease. It’s like you’re catching up with a friend who just happens to be the best massage therapist around.
Thank you, Annette!
Nick Dunlap loomis
Darren is an incredible human being capable of incredible healing. Life is too short to be in pain, book an appointment and free yourself of burden.
Thank you, Nick. I so appreciate this!
Brandon Rutten
First of all, this was a great massage. Darren has very skilled hands and catered my session exactly to my needs and pressure preference. Next, Darren has done beautiful wonders with his office building. From the moment you walk in the door it is obvious he has thought of every detail in preparation to welcome guests. I can't recommend Darren at Beech Grove Wellness enough!!! You'll love him too!
I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to work with you!
Nancy Hinkley
I would give six stars if I could. Darren is good for the mind, body, and soul. He is skilled, respectful, comforting, and reactive. I always walk away feeling centered and spry. He's done great at helping me manage my scoliosis and sciatica. My advice: book that massage. You deserve it, and Darren will take fantastic care of you.
Thank you so much, Nancy!!!
fbama73
I just had my first session, and I knew immediately that Darren had just become a regular part of my self care regimen. Very likable and personable, and extremely good at what he does. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
I'm so excited to keep working with you!
Reed Morrison
Great first-time session! The space is wonderful and set the perfect vibe for an awesome two hour session. We’ve all had sessions where you can just feel the therapist is checked out…. not with Darren. I could feel him working with intention the whole session. He found all the places that were hiding tension that I for sure wasn’t even aware of. I just about instantly melted into the table. The awesome stretching was a highlight. Booking my next session today!
Thank you so much for this detailed review, Reed! I look forward to seeing you again soon!
Jess Frayer
Darren is a fantastic massage therapist! I always feel so much better after a session, especially because he is so good at addressing my specific concerns each time. The space is cozy and welcoming too. I can't reccomend BGW enough!
Thank you so much, Jess!
jose leigh
This was my first massage ever and it was amazing. Darren explain everything very well and made me feel comfortable through the whole massage. I probably slept 12hrs after the massage and that's saying a lot since I can't sleep more then 7hrs. I will definitely be back and will be telling everyone about him!
I love this! Can't wait to get you back on the table!
Subeg Singh
I met Darren at a retreat in Vermont where he offered the whole group massages over 4 day period we were there. I have a regular massage therapist in my home town (Hartford, CT) but he compares nothing to Darren! From the beginning, he asked me a lot of questions to ensure he captured all the troubled areas. His technique and pressure was expert level - not too soft & not too hard - just enough! By the time we finished, I felt at least 10 lbs lighter, this was hands down one of THE best massages I have ever gotten. To top it off, he has a great personality as well - conversations during the massage were highly smart and engaging. Give Darren a try without hesitation, you will not regret it!
Thank you, Subeg!!
Heather Davis
Darren was wonderful and I had an excellent experience! I really appreciated the calm atmosphere of the building and having the opportunity to name my preferences and areas of focus. It was obvious that Darren is really attuned during his work and I felt like I got just what I needed.
Thank you, Heather!
Janna Tribby
Tried out Beech Grove Wellness before the grand opening. Highly recommend making an appointment, you will be glad you did. Darren gives a fantastic massage. Focused on my areas that needed it most. I left feeling great. Looking forward to booking my next massage!
Thank you so much, Janna! I look forward to seeing you again soon while the beautiful jade bonsai you gifted me is still thriving. HURRY!
Wes Stevens
Darren is a truly talented, knowledgeable, and caring person. Highly recommend the integrated massage for your aches and pains. My back is more aligned and relaxed than it has been in years.
Thank you so much for letting me work with you, Wes!
abby dennis
The best massages are at Beech Grove Wellness. Darren’s understanding of and attention to the physical demands on one’s body day to day and when specific injuries arise is like no other. He truly helps make the necessary healing happen.
Thank you so very much, Abby!
Jiggy J's
I was skeptical of all the 5 star reviews…but oh my goodness…they are real! Darrin worked completely on my sore areas and didn’t try to deviate from where my pain is. I have already booked again because I can already feel some results.
Jenna Burns
Darrin is working really hard to help me relieve the pain in my shoulder. He is very targeted and thorough with his pressure placement. I’ve already booked the next one!
Annie Cultice
Darren is a wonderfully skilled massage therapist. Not only did he ask about my concerns and tailor the massage to my needs, but I felt the benefits and relaxation long after I left his table. I really appreciate having found someone I trust that takes such care with his clients. Highly recommend!
Thank you, Annie! I can't wait to see you again!
Tabitha white
An amazing experience! I left feeling absolutely fantastic—relaxed, recharged, and full of good vibes. Laughter and massage are both healing for the soul, and having them combined in one session is a powerful, feel-good combo. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much, Tabitha!
Elizabeth Prince
Darren seemed to listen carefully to my needs and during the massage was able to connect in order to help me release my stress, tension and get out of my head, helping me on my journey to rebalance. Sounds deep, but that’s what happened. I’m very thankful, would highly recommend and will go back again for sure. The power of touch is well worth the investment. Thanks Darren.
Elizabeth, thank you so much for these kind words! I look forward to seeing you again soon!
Andrea Ratcliff
Darren soothed away several years of stress knots in my shoulders and upper back. He applied just the right amount of pressure and had a fantastic therapeutic touch. I left feeling like I was floating on air in an entirely new body.
I'm so glad to have offered some relief! I look forward to more opportunities to knock those blocks off your shoulders!
Holly Loper
Darren is a talented massage therapist with great communication skills! He is very warm, friendly, and easy to be around. He was also very clear about respecting my needs and boundaries as a client. I'm a cisgender woman and felt very secure and safe on his massage table. Highly recommend!
Holly! Thank you so much or your kind words!!
The Baby Coco
Darren is great. He was so in tune with my body during the work, and I almost fell asleep more than once while on the table! I love that with every movement my body made- he noticed and that he paid attention. I’ll be back!
Larry Eitnier
I just had my first massage at Beech Grove wellness and I have to say I was very impressed with the entire space and the massage definitely exceeded my expectations. I left feeling relaxed and rested. Already booked my next session. Highly recommend.
Thank you for this, Larry! I look forward to seeing you on the table again!
Amy Sell
Darren gives the best massages. He asks plenty of questions about how my body is feeling, and I feel that his touch is strong and confident but also aware of what my body needs. I can't imagine going to anyone else. I strongly recommend him!
II so appreciate you, Amy!
Kelsey Behl
