Thank You Cloud 9 !
 I have tried some local spas here in Rke. and other places. Nowhere was anything like my experience at Cloud 9! I got perfect service and the best attention. She was very nice too as she made sure that I was totally happy with my massage. I feel so much better now. I just want anyone who is looking to know that I have looked around and now I do not have to anymore. I wish I had just googled a lot sooner. It would have saved me so much time and money!
 I love Cloud 9!
Thank you Benita!

I would like to take this opportunity to say, Benita Turner is a excellent Massage Therapist. She focus on the issues that you are dealing with and corrects them by using her gift of Massage. I know you are saying,why did he use the word "gift"? Well let me tell you.......When someone is gifted in a area they have tapped into there purpose on earth and Benita is gifted. I went into her office hurting and feeling really bad. She asked me questions and listened to my answers and focused on the issues at hand. I left her office feeling much much better and I will be back. Massage Therapy is really needed in this day and time because we live in a very stress filled world. So if I was you I would call and get in to see her and please tell her that you read my review (Wes) and that's why you came in.......lol and to that person who wrote the Lies about Benita remember ( what you do to others,will come back to you) that is the Law of Reaping and Sowing. Ms Turner is a professional who takes pride in her work and I for one can officially call her my Massage Therapist:)*****Five Stars!!!!!

I am on vacation in Roanoke and wanted to get a massage for the relaxation. I work in a stressful field and have muscle tension issues. I called Cloud 9 State of Mind Massage Therapy and spoke to Benita who was very accommodating in scheduling my appointment. I can say without a doubt Benita's massage is the best I have ever experienced. Her technique and professional approach is outstanding. She takes the time to ask if you have any areas you would like her to specifically work on but addresses all your major muscles. She is very focused and attentive. Her intuitive sense is on target varying the pressure from quite strong to minimal stimulation. She has achieved a studio atmosphere that is calming, relaxing and comfortable. I found her  session to be therapeutic and relaxing. I have already and will continue to recommend Benita and Cloud 9 State of Mind to my friends and family.



All I can say is WOW!!!!!     January 11, 2009 by Bobby in Roanoke, VA
All I can say is WOW!!!!! I felt totally taken care of... so much so, I felt like I should be paying much more. Virginia's best kept secret! This place is wonderful. I didn't want to leave. The atmosphere is so relaxing and peaceful. I left feeling very relaxed. It was my first time experiencing deep tissue massage therapy so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was very pleased with my results. I would definitely recommend this service. I had a 60 minute deep tissue massage therapy. It was so wonderful next time I’m going for the 90 or 2 hour massage.



Awesome Therapy     July 29, 2008 by Doc Hanson in Roanoke, VA 
Benita Turner gives the best deep-tissue theraputic massage in Roanoke... maybe in the whole world. She is awesome. She is personable and casual but all business (very professional). If you want fancy "foo-foo" frills and have money to burn, consider a spa; but if you want non-nonsense body work, she is the person to see. I've had what I call "The Benita Treatment" many times. It's fabulous. She'll work with you to find just the right places and pressure. Try her and you'll be hooked.



GREAT!!!     August 20, 2008 by MB in Salem, VA
Best massage I ever had!!! She really took the time to find out where I hurt and then concentrated on those areas, always applying enough pressure to do the job and making sure it didn't hurt. I slept like a baby that night!!!



AMAZING!!     July 28, 2008 by David Washington in Roanoke, VA
I just had my first therapeutic massage today!! I was blown away. Benita is certainly qualified. You got out all of the knots and relieved tension in places I didn't even know had tension. My favorite part was the feet and arms. It was just so soothing and relaxing. Everything about cloud 9 is tranquil and relaxing. From the music to the lighting. I can't wait to go back and do an 1 hour and a half. I feel so much better. If you have never had a therapeutic massage before go to Benita. You will not be sorry!!



Best Massages I've Ever Had    July 20, 2008 by Sara in Roanoke, VA
It's been a few days since Benita worked on me, and I still feel very loosened up, and feel better. Next time, I think I will get a 2 hour session instead of a 1 1/2 hour session ! She is really awesome at getting the knots out of my low back and my shoulders when I go for my appointments. My favorite part of my massages are on my feet and my forehead, and I am usually ticklish, but not when I go to Cloud 9!

I HAVE BEEN ON CLOUD 9!! ***** 
 April 15, 2009 by Sally Morgan in Roanoke,VA 
Just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH! Benita's Cloud 9 office was so comfortable, and I definately know what a deep tissue massage is suppose to be like after having one from her! I have received a lot of massages from different places around who say they do deep tissue massages and I just did not realize what it was suppose to be like until I went to her Cloud 9 office. I am so glad my friend told me about her! I am a nurse and I am on my feet a lot all day or night when I work. All I can say is that I feel so good right now since I got a 2 hour massage, and I look forward to going back again! I can't wait! I also love the fact that she has very flexible hours because my work shifts can run late sometimes, but she did not mind at all, and said she can accommodate my needs whenever I need a massage because it's her office.



Cloud 9 State Of Mind Massage Therapy  
February 04, 2009 by D. Lee Harris in Hickory, NC
I had the distinct pleasure of enjoying a mind altering, relaxing, and rejuvenating massage from Benita. A massage is only as revealing as the therapist is to his or her task. Benita has the calling of being perhaps one of the few great massage therapist of our time.  Benita has the touch and feel that many massage therapist don't truly understand. It cannot be taught and it cannot be learned, it can only be a God given talent. "Precious is the gift, more blessed is the receiver who gives."

Called Cloud 9 today.  My call was returned and I had an appointment set up for later that evening.  Very flexible hours.  Rates very competitive.  I will reccomend cloud 9 to others.
