Testimonials

“Krista Gable is a master at the art of massage therapy. She is constantly expanding her knowledge and is brilliant at synthesizing everything she learns. As a singer, I have particularly benefited from her intra oral and jaw work. (Some discomfort involved in receiving intra oral therapy, but boy, it gets the job done!) I have lived in New York City and Los Angeles for most of my professional life and Krista is the very best I know.” 

Donna Bullock, Professional actress/singer

“I have been a client of Krista's around fourteen years. I go to her twice a month. I will tell anyone that her therapy enabled me to maintain my career position as long as I did.  I have now retired and still cannot give up my therapy. Anyone in a high stress career or life, pays for it with health problems.  I have never considered my massage therapy with Krista a luxury, always mandatory to keep me in good health and functioning my best every day.   I have used several therapists over the years, but when I found the BEST I stayed with her and have been totally satisfied.” 

Connie Lovelady

“Why, you ask, would a person go back for 368 consecutive massages? Could be because your therapist is skilled, personable, empathetic, consistent, and genuine?  Oh, it could have been 366 or 371; did I mention skilled?  After 14 years, I wouldn't go anywhere else.”

“If you want to experience a massage that can help you with pain then you should see Krista Gabel at The Escape. She has the expertise that is necessary for those of us who need much more than a "feel good" massage.  You will not be disappointed.”

Mary Lou J.

“I have been a patient of Krista's for about 9 years. It is difficult to find an effective, therapeutic therapist. I have cervical spondylosis with significant muscle spasms. If I receive regular massages from Krista, I can avoid medication for headaches and muscle spasms. She has taught me stretches and range of motion exercises that have been beneficial as well. She is extremely knowledgeable about muscles and ligaments and this makes her an excellent, effective, therapeutic therapist. I highly recommend her services with the utmost confidence that you too will benefit from her therapy.” 

Marita Giles, RN

“Krista has been a blessing for my body for a long time now. Never have I had a massage therapist that had a genuine feel (ha) for what I needed. Consistent, dependable, caring, knowledgeable and compassionate with a healing touch!”

Missy Bason

“I have been sending my patients to Krista for years as well be a client myself. Her techniques make the changes in patients tissue that complement what I do. Getting them better faster.”

Dr. Dana Santelli 

“Having had tonsil cancer 7 years ago and after so much radiation to my throat I have a lot of scar tissue. My Dr. at MD Anderson praises Krista because  she  really know how to work on my throat. My Dr. says a lot of massage therapist are afraid to really work on this problem. I cannot say enough great things about Krista, she is the best!! My son has access to a lot of places to get massages in Houston but he always books one with Krista when he comes to Athens ! He also says she is the BEST!!!”

Linda Ragland

“Having a stress filled job, as most people do, as well as being a CrossFit and adventure race competitor, I have found that massage therapy is an essential part of my regime to stay healthy, both physically and mentally. Living in Houston, and also traveling around the country, I’ve had the opportunity to see a wide range of massage therapists. Krista Gabel at The Escape is, by far, the BEST massage therapist to whom I have EVER been. Every time I come back to Athens, for any reason, it is a must that I visit Krista at The Escape. Others, from all over the state, whom I have referred to Krista all tell me the same thing: she is second to none. Not only is she the best massage therapist I’ve ever been to , but she has done wonders in helping me work through and heal from various muscle related injuries by giving me various moves and stretches to do on my own. I cannot recommend The Escape highly enough.”
