"I've been seeing massage therapists for over 30 years and have been one myself since 1989...I've had literally over a thousand massages easily and Montgomery gives some of the BEST massages I've ever had! Seriously! I am highly critical after so many years of massage and he knows his anatomy, his intuition is on point, his CARE and Compassion shine through and his touch is very intentional. You can tell the difference between a therapist that is "doing their routine" on you for the thousandth time versus a therapist who is reading your body's needs right then. Hands down (no pun intended) one of the best I've ever gone to! I'm thrilled to keep getting bodywork from such a skilled healer."  - Sean L.

“Thank you Montgomery Norton and Tara Polizzi for the refreshing and revitalizing experience of your specialty of a four hand massage on a misty rainy day at your Phoenix Rising Massage Studio. Anyone who has enjoyed a massage with two hands knows how happy the body feels after releasing tight muscles and tension from the neck, shoulders, hips, feet and hands and torso. If you could imagine doubling the potent healing effect of having four hands massaging the left and right sides of the body simultaneously -- the sensation is pure bliss.  I enjoyed how safe and willing I felt as I allowed myself to receive a WHOLE body and mind space of truly 'letting go' of tightness and stuck energies.  My recommendation is to book a four hand massage with Montgomery Norton and Tara Polizzi right now!  Do this act of kindness as a gift to yourself.  You deserve to feel free of tension and rejuvenated now, especially as the winter season is upon us.”  - Fran D.

"Wow! I can't begin to express the gratitude I feel for Montgomery and his excellent service, attention and care. I had really bad pain and tightness all over my body, could barely walk or move. Within hours of contacting him I was on a massage table in the comfort of my home and starting to feel better. After the massage he made sure I was settled with water, food, ice packs , ect, due to lack of mobility. This morning I woke up feeling a hundred times better with most of my pain and tightness gone. He really understands the needs of the pain centered body and how to move that pain and stuck energy out. I'll definitely be contacting him again and recommending his service to others. I'm very grateful!"  - AnnaLillian M.

"Montgomery is so well versed and knowledgable in Astrology, it is truly inspiring to listen to him give a reading and detailed my chart. It was mind-blowing and so informative as well as having those "Ah-Ha" moments where things just clicked and made sense, where questions existed before. He was thorough and detailed and really spelled out things so clearly that I was able to process it fully; although to be honest, I am still processing some of what I learned. It really helped clarify so many things for me and my journey through this thing called life. I recommend Montgomery's services for anyone that is interested in learning more about themselves, seeing the path they have taken, and really delving into the "why" factor. Plus, his energy is just so authentic, genuine and loving that you can't help but admire him and all that he is able to share."  - Tristan F.

"Very professional, but friendly and intuitive. Fantastic massage with plenty of check in on pressure and comfort. Big strong hands and hot stones. I feel great today. Mr Norton is very learned when it comes to anatomy and I got the impression that he truly loves his work. Played it safe with a 60 min intro. I'll be 90 min next time. I'm pretty fussy and have had lots of great massages. I left here feeling super glad that I had come to Montgomery."  - Jon E.

"I feel amazing after ever session. Kind compassionate and skilled!." - Katy H. 

"I had such an insightful astrology session with Montgomery. He really took the time needed to delve into some major transits of mine, not to mention he held space for me while I navigated emotions that came up with a couple difficult situations extremely professionally. I appreciate learning from him, as I’m a beginner astrologer, about how to interpret transits as well as using the goddess asteroid energies and how that plays a part of my natal chart. I highly recommend Montgomery’s services for anyone yearning to learn more about themselves and/or astrology!"  - Allison V.

"Montgomery gives one of the best massages I've ever experienced (and I'm old!). His large strong hands intuitively find the parts that need attention immediately. He does more of full hand pressure rather than painful pokes where it hurts. He's very skilled, professional and knowledgeable. I usually get the 90 Minute session and just feel like a blissful pile of jelly. But my back pain and shoulder pain are relieved for awhile. His massages feel so good!  Oh and ladies, he is quite careful with boundaries. You can feel safe and respected with him."  - Savana R.

"Amazing the best massage ever!!! I will be a regular. All my stress was gone after my 90 minute massage. Thank you so much."  
- Vickey B.

"Montgomery is very gifted and articulate in Astrology and provided immense insight into a world and language that was foreign to me. The reading gave me an unexpected and profound realization that is difficult to describe, but was greatly needed. I am now motivated to have him do readings for my entire family! Thank you so much for the amazing experience Montgomery!"  - Melanie N.

"Monty gave me the best massage I’ve ever had, and I’ve had quite a few. He is in tune with people, knows bodies well, has strength for when needed, while remaining gentle when that is the thing you need. Monte is a great massage therapist! I highly recommend him! Do yourself a favor and book some time with Monty CareBear, CMT"

"I highly recommend an astrological reading from Montgomery. He was very through in his research as well as in his analysis of my chart. He brought forth very deep and profound insight into how I approach my inner and outer worlds. He also talked about aspects of astrology that I had never even heard of before. All in all a fascinating reading and what a sweet guy!"  - Annette J.

"As a massage practitioner myself for 7 years, I have become quite particular (aka picky ) about the bodywork I receive. Having been fortunate enough to receive body work by experienced and incredibly talented body workers, I can honestly say that Monty's work is absolutely on par with the best of the best. He is truly gifted and has done the hard work to build his tools set (education) to back his gift and intuition. He has the precious ability to leave his clients with the gift of really feeling into the mind-body-spirit connection by tuning in and clearing the congestion blocking internal harmony."  - Natalie V.

Do yourselves a big favor and book a session with him. Jus' sayin."  - Ken S.

"Montgomery truly has a healing touch. He intuitively knows when to go deep to release tension but lighten when you need it. He’s extremely strong but has a gentleness about him that makes for a rare gift. I only wish I lived closer to see him all the time."  - Tiffani D.

"I received a 1 hour massage from Montgomery Norton yesterday afternoon after booking several days earlier, and WOW! I fell asleep much faster than I normally do, and my muscle soreness from exercise was noticeably reduced upon awakening this morning. I am very impressed with his skill in locating my problem areas, and his intuitive use of pressure depending on the area being worked. Montgomery had a wonderful personality, and was fantastic to work with throughout the entire experience. I will be booking another appointment next week! THANK YOU MONTGOMERY NORTON!!!"  - Erik S.
