Jacqueline Muench
- If you are having any problems clearing up problems that you have with your skin, then Jacqueline Muench is the person who you definitely need to see! I had lived most of my life in Miami Fl and have been to some of the best Dermatologists around, including the late Dr. Frederic Brandt. Living in Fl alone presents numerous challenges for keeping one's skin in it's the best condition, but I was also an avid boater and outdoor girl. Yikes, the havoc I inflicted on my skin!I was so afraid when I moved to this area that I would not be able to find someone who could help me keep up with all the sun damage which I had inflicted on my poor skin - as well as the challenges that occur with dreaded aging skin. No worries, Jacque has you covered! Not only does she use the finest product lines, but she constantly researches and takes her profession very very seriously. I have had facials with Jacque, which are DIVINE - and most recently had 2 Micro-Needling sessions with her. I was AMAZED at the results after just session, and her prices are far more reasonable than other practitioners that I investigated. I have very sensitive skin and was a bit nervous about doing the Micro-Needling. I also found the prices daunting - But Jacque has it covered. She is VERY careful when she initially questions you about your skin and any concerns which you may have. In fact, I had questioned a local Dermatologist about something, as I had read something which was contrary to what she was saying. I wasn't comfortable with her response - and darned if Jacque didn't bring it up even before I asked her. I'm so very happy with my results and plan to continue with Micro-Needling with Jacque. She is kind, fun, professional, knowledgeable, and never attempts to "push" anything. I HIGHLY recommend all of the services she offers. It actually IS a "Blissful Journey" Thank you, Jacque! By the way, her Infrared Sauna is wonderful for getting out all those toxins as well as yummy during the winter!

- I made an appointment at Blissful Journey on a weekday afternoon for a permanent makeup treatment. I was skeptical about permanent makeup in general but my visit with Jacque was amazing. She was very professional and her attention to detail was exceptional. The results have changed the way I feel about my physical appearance and given me great confidence. I now feel like a rock star and I have received many compliments on my appearance. I couldn't be any more pleased with the outcome. Would I do it again? Without a doubt!!! I highly recommend Jacque and Blissful Journey and wouldn't go anywhere else.

- I cannot begin to express how happy I have been with the permanent make-up I had applied. It has made my appearance so much better and has saved me time as an added bonus. I guess the test is... would I do it again? The answer is absolute, without hesitation. It has made such a difference in the way I look on the outside, but more importantly, how I feel on the inside."

- Lila Kirk is an excellent massage therapist. She has strong, yet gentle hands and She has a way of making one feel very comfortable. These things make her the best.
- D. Leonard
- I have been blessed to be a client of Lila Kirk, LBMT for 15 years. Lila is a truly gifted massage and bodyworker. Her skilled hands seek out the precise points that need attention. I can affirm that, with my many musculoskeletal issues, I can function on a daily basis with her intervention and care. I often gift certificates to friends who need everything from stress relief or palliative care to healing from muscle spasms and tightness. Being a Physical Therapist, I had high expectations and was seeking a practitioner who could provide bodywork and deep tissue manipulation, and I was looking for a therapist with precisely Lila's skills. Lila is a consummate professional, working to improve her skills and provide exactly what each client needs. I highly recommend allowing yourself the benefit of her healing touch."

-Lila has been my massage therapist for over 12 years and I love her massages! She regularly works out the stress-caused knots in my shoulders and she has helped with my bouts of sciatica and bursitis in my hip. I had some surgery a year ago to repair my foot and Lila has helped with sporadic swelling in that foot. When traveling to other places I have had massages by other practitioners but no one is as good as Lila. She will be my massage therapist until she retires, and then I’ll grieve losing her skilled and compassionate care. Plus she’s just a really nice person!
