    J. Pindell

  • "I’ve seen Kristy at The Silk Mill Retreat since 2017. I have been fortunate enough to experience barefoot massage, warm bamboo therapy, Lomi Lomi, the Royal, wholistic facials with Gua Sha, and some others crafted rituals… she always brings her best to the table. She is the high priestess of ritual in our modern world. I feel extremely fortunate to experience her magic."

    M.M. Mills

  • ""I have been going to Kristy for massages for a few years now and will never go anywhere else! Kristy is professional, personable, and extremely talented! She caters to my specific areas of need and ensures that I leave her office feeling relaxed and stress free! Kristy really knows how to create a calm, serene environment for the ultimate relaxing experience! Not only do I frequent her but I recommend her to everyone but her gift certificates are the best for any occasion! Everyone loves to be pampered and she is the best in the business!!"

    S. Ruggieri

  • “The experience I've had at Silk Mill Retreat is not just about Kristy's great technical skills (that goes without saying!) but about the experience of being pampered. She pays attention to all the details to make your visit phenomenal, has an immaculate sense of cleanliness and style and has created an oasis. And her barefoot massage skills which I have been getting is incredible.”

    C. Baheri

  • “Do yourself a favor and make the time to visit Kristy and let her work her magic. Each time I visit I leave feeling more relaxed, and pampered than I think possible. Kristy has perfected her craft and is a truly gifted therapist, and The Silk Mill Retreat is a truly special place. PS...the wait list is worth it.”

    K. Wykoff

  • “The Silk Mill Retreat is a remarkable experience from start to finish. From the moment you walk in the door, Kristy attends to ever detail of your treatment with professionalism, openness and kindness. She strives to get to know you, body and mind, to get The Big Picture of your health, allowing her to tailor treatments to your current needs. She is in tune with you through all steps of the entire experience. You leave feeling relaxed, rejuvenated and ready for life."

    S. Guy

  • "There is a reason this lady holds the waitlist for a massage for months in advance. When you walk in the door you are her top priority. Warm foot soak and hot herbal tea and a a bit of unwind before Kristy begins your service. She is as skilled at her craft as she is warm and inviting. She is well aware of every muscle in your body and responds perfectly to your requests. It is hands down the best massage and experience I have ever had and she deserves the recognition."

    C. White

  • "I can't say enough good things about Kristy, she's just wonderful at what she does and is the sweetest person. For the past 11 years I've been one of her clients. I know the minute I walk through her door she's focused on me, asking how I'm doing, and listening to any concerns I may have with what's going on with my body. She really truly cares about her clients and wants what's best for them. She pampers the heck out of you from start to finish."

    Laura P.

  • "I have received both barefoot massage and a facial from Kristy Poux. Firstly, her office is immaculate and STUNNING, with all the accoutrements you could expect from a high-end spa. The massage was perfect-graceful, calming yet deep and therapeutic. My facial was exquisite-who knew a facial could include an incredible body scrub as well as luxurious oils. The Silk Mill Retreat is worth every penny, and you'll love Kristy. She is quirky with pink hair and truly loves all women, wanting them to feel perfect as they are."

    M. Fredette

  • "While I've known Kristy for quite a while I haven't had a chance to experience her massages...until yesterday! Oh my goodness, I have never felt so relaxed. From the moment I walked in the door everything Kristy did was about me, for me and custom to me....my skin, my goals, my time away from the world. It was incredible. I've already booked 4 more appointments and I will not reschedule them for anything."

    M. Gillespie

  • "Immediately after meeting Kristy all those worries just melted away, a lot like the stress and tension I had been carrying. The space is comfortable, safe, and calming. The service and attention to detail is beyond what I had expected and the experience of my first massage was amazing thanks to Kristy’s knowledge and understanding of my needs. She listened to me and my goals for the session, and I felt respected and appreciated by her. I can’t think of a better way to spend some much needed “Me time” and am looking forward to my next appointment!"

    M. M.

  • "Kristy is very passionate about delivering a level of service that is hard to find these days. Her attention to detail makes you feel luxurious and pampered. Her menu of services has something for everyone. The only part you won't like is when it's over!"

    B. Craig

  • "I feel awakened, grounded and more amazing then I ever imagined I could feel, such a perfect day for this experience...perfect numbers and even more glorious moon!!! Even my husband can’t stop staring at me, he can’t believe the difference you made."

    M. Wills

  • "Kristy is absolutely amazing, no small detail is overlooked within her studio, her craft, her care of each person who walks through her door. From the moment you arrive and well after the moment you walk out you are surrounded by someone who not only owns the business, but is passionately invested in the services they provide. I went in more concerned about my back and shoulder issues and left feeling like a complete person during a time where everything seems to be falling apart."
