If you are looking for someone to provide a quality massage, I would recommend Irene. I really felt my massage was customized to my needs and that is a first. Normally there is a routine, but Irene really listened and focused on what I needed.[July 2021]

While vacationing here in Rapid City, i decided that a great way to end my trip was to get a massage. When I called, Guy was very friendly and professional. He was able to fit me in last minute, while ending at their closing time. Irene was very friendly and professional. She asked about what areas I needed to work on while also explaining why I experienced tenderness in others. I recommend getting a massage here, for locals and for those of us passing by.[July 2021]

I ride motorcycles and had ridden 600 miles the day before. My right leg had went numb. They were able to relieve my pain and get my feeling back in my leg. Thank you![July 2021]

Experienced different techniques than I have had from other massages. It felt more personalized to my needs, whereas other massages I’ve had felt like this is the same massage given to all their clients. Irene did a great job! I’ll be back. :)[July 2021]

Being I have severe pain issues my first massage was wonderful. Seem I’ve found the help I’ve been looking for. Feeling much better than when I arrived. Now to get out there and do things, enjoy living. The best massage ever, covering the who, what, when, where n why of my pain and arthritis issues. Thanks Guy for getting me on the right track[June 2021]

I was very hesitant at first to even book an appointment due to my previous massage and pain I experienced after but I wanted to give graceful touch a chance because of reviews I read, Iām very happy I booked and I do not regret it. After meeting guy for the first time he made me feel very comfortable and that he was very knowledgeable about the service I got! The communication skills we great and the massage was fantastic!! Currently after the massage, I feel like a million bucks!! I now have a big smile and I will definitely be back for more!! Thank you so much[May 2021]

Full disclosure, I am trained and have practiced as a massage therapist.
I scheduled a 90 minute full body deep tissue session. The massage I received from Guy was excellent! Very thorough and specific to the areas requested. I have a very high hedonic (pain/pleasure) level and like very deep work when getting massage. The pressure applied was appropriate for the area being worked, and Guy checked in regularly to ensure I was satisfied with the level of depth to the massage.
I prefer a “dry” massage, no oil or cream, and Guy delivered a very good session despite apparently not having performed dry massage on any prior clients. Some of the protocols Guy used were innovative adaptations of techniques I was familiar with but had not seen implemented in the manner delivered. I am a very satisfied customer. I highly recommend Graceful Touch Massage for any one interested in a quality therapeutic massage, and will not hesitate to schedule another appointment when we are back in the area.[May 20221]

I was in desperate need of a massage but was having trouble finding an appointment for two people that fit into out traveling plans. I called them expecting them to say no but what happened was that they gave us an appointment time for after they closed which worked perfectly and I am so grateful for.
I had a 60 minute deep tissue massage with Irene who was very sweet. I like firm hands and deeper massages and she definitely stays in tune with you and asks if the pressure is too much or too little. She also makes sure she gets the knots out. She will go back to a place if you still feel discomfort and make sure the knot is gone. You literally feel the relief.
I had an issue that I have went to multiple doctors for including physical therapy and she had a completely different approach and she recommended ways to help it that wasnāt justā¦ come back here. She was very informative and you definitely feel good during. I wish she was closer to my hometown because I feel like I need a couple more sessions with her.[May 2021]

I have a permanent neck injury that causes severe muscle tension in my neck and shoulders causing headaches and pain. Guy Siverson worked with my inury and by the time he finished providing me a fantastic deep tissue massage, my muscle tension and pain was decreased dramatically. I had better and longer lasting relief than doctor prescribed medications. I’ve been to other massage therapists in the area and Guy provided the best local deep tissue massage near me (Rapid City) and I enjoyed a friendly conversation with Guy during the massage. He is both professional and friendly and the massage room is a pleasant and comfortable area. I’ve been back multiple times for deep tissue massage with excellent results (pain and muscle tension relief) every time. I highly recommend Graceful Touch from my experience with them. [April 2020]

Graceful Touch massage is a blessing! Their care, knowledge and expertise is 10/10! I’ve been a chronic pain sufferer for years and have benefited so much from the last few months of Guyās treatments. Iāve been getting regular massages for headaches which has been so effective! He also works on whatever is ailing me for that week, lol. He has been able to fix in one session what previously took weeks in physical therapy for my hips. He fixes my tennis elbow so I can get back to the computer. He has the most peaceful spirit and I can trust that the energy he transfers to me is pure and blessed. I am so grateful that the VA has recognized how beneficial and affordable massage is for treating veteranās pain. Itās great that our VA doctor can send us right to the masseuse rather than having to waste time in PT or find a doctorās office that has a masseuse. This just changed. Do yourself a favor and come to Graceful Touch. They have great flexibility too. I never have to wait long periods of time to get in. They find a time for me when a need arises that I donāt have an appointment for. They combine so much wellness into their techniques.[ April 2021]

Incredible results on my 1st visit. My upper shoulders and back have just been tight for so long. I didn’t think I would ever find a solution. I have now. Very professional, explains what is needed for treatment. I would highly recommend them. I can’t wait for my next visit.[May 2021]

Was very helpful as to what my issues were and helped me tremendously! I will be coming back as often as I can ! So thankful I heard about them! Irene has really helped me with leg pain and discoloring of legs with my circulation! I really recommend the lymphatic message! I am seeing results right away! She will work with you to make sure you are on your way to healing! Truly cares about your health! [April 2021]

My first time at Graceful Touch was a positive experience as the pain in my back and neck has been longstanding.

Graceful touch is an awesome place. They don’t beat you up and hurt you more than you already hurt. They get the kinks and hurts out of you with a nice gentle but good massage.
I’ve been hurting in my shoulder for at least two years. It might take a couple massages to completely help my shoulder get better, but with just one massage, I haven’t felt better in such a long time.
Excellent place to go to. Trust worthy. And relaxing. I’m going back for more š[ October 2020]

I didn’t know what to expect as this was my first professional massage, but Guy explained the whole process in a very easy to understand way. The Swedish relaxation almost left me fast asleep and deeply relaxed. 100% recommend![ February 2021]
Trinity Wilt
Graceful touch is so amazing. I suffer daily from joint pains and pains due to car accidents and I left after one session being able to move without intense pain. I canāt remember the last time I was so relaxed. I would highly recommend them to anyone and I will definitely be going back for more massage therapy![ February 2021]

This was a much different massage than Iāve ever received, but by far one of the best. I was able to have different areas targeted on my body. This massage helped release stress and tension but not in a deep painful way. Using stretches and breathing techniques really helped get the most out of my massage!! Would definitely come back![Dec 2020]

I haven’t been to get a massage here, but I have met the owners. Guy and his wife are very kind, very knowledgeable people. They have taught me a lot about massage as well as business. They truly care about they’re clients, both physically and spiritually. They are very professional, and they both speak sign language. Highly recommend.[September 2020]

I am so glad I rewarded myself with this massage! I was a little leery since the only massage I had years ago was painful. Irene made sure I was comfortable and communicated with me about what she was doing. It was an amazingly relaxing and therapeutic! I have rescheduled more sessions because she made my shoulder feel better than it has in years!! [ August 2020]

I had my first massage today at graceful touch and loved it! We went to the private home and had a nice relaxing time. The room was relaxing and the setting was peaceful!

I have multiple disk issues in my lower back which causes sciatic pain and affects my ability to work and sometimes walk. My neck gets extremely tight which affects my ability to turn my head and occasionally causes my arm(s) to fall asleep. I have had these issues for years and have received help from various practitioners. We recently moved to the Black Hills and met Guy and Irene and learned that they were licensed massage therapists. I booked an appointment and Guy spent an hour working on both my low back and my neck. What a difference. I ended that session with greater range of motion in my neck and far less discomfort in my lower back and legs. I have been back a few times and each time I get a massage from Guy I feel my condition is improving. Can’t wait for my next appointment. [ May 2020]
Mark S
Great massage and very knowledgeable. I am new to the area and gave them a try after reading the great reviews. I was not disappointed as Irene did a great job on my very tight, sore back. I did book on a Sunday and was notified that they worked out of their home office on Sundays which I was a little confused and hesitant at first but after arriving felt very comfortable with the setup and both Irene and Guy were very welcoming and professional. I highly recommend for a message and I will definitely be going back again soon.[August 2020]

Received a deep tissue massage less than a week ago and felt worse than before. Less range-of-motion and more pain in my shoulder and neck than I had before.
I spoke to Guy about it right away in the beginning of our session, since it gives me lots of trouble and tightness. Guy explained he works more with flexibility and healing and it definitely made a difference.
Guy managed to find my tight areas with ease and was able to work them back into a comfortable condition since my job requires repetitive motions with the same muscles. [August 2020]

Location was a little hard to find as the entrance is on the back of the building, but thanks to modern technology, I found my way here! And I’m so very glad I did. Guy was amazing.

Excellent massage, great at communicating what he is doing and how it works. I’m so used to the deep tissue that I kept thinking my trigger point could use more attention but it definitely feels much better. Hoping the release lasts longer than other places have. Thank you! [July 2020]

Irene gave an amazing muscle therapy massage. She worked out issues it my neck, it band and hips. It was an amazing addition to our wonderful vacation. They were so accommodating to our large group! We will absolutely return for a massage if back in the black hills area. Thanks so much [ June 2020]

Amazing massage! I have had chronic pain for over 20 years and been to numerous physical therapists and have tried massage before, with NO improvement.
However, I felt Immediate Improvement in my muscle tightness as well as improvement in the amount of hip and neck pain I have. I usually leave previous therapy appointments sore but this was a completely different experience.
Definitely recommend, especially for those who have had poor experiences with massage therapy in the past. I am most definitely coming back š [ August 2020]

I called the office today and requested a session. I was in discomfort and wanted something soon. I spoke with Guy and he asked me to hold while he spoke with Irene. She was not at the office at the time and offered to come so I could be seen. This was my first time there and was pleased. Irene could tell my body wanted more time than I first scheduled. I was there for 2.5 hours. Whoa she has some strong hands. Before we began Irene asked if she could say a short prayer. I appreciated she asked and I said yes. I knew they were good people. Thank You Irene and Guy for support [August 2020]

The care and time taken to develop with my injuries is something the world needs more of. Communication and asking permissions in case things might be uncomfortable was a first as well. Truly raised the bar in perspectives of what should be qualities of a masseuse. [ September 2020]
Dakota Merrival
Guy and Irene are the embodiment of “teach a man to fish and feed them for life”. Their science backed approach and in-depth knowledge make them the best massage therapists in town! As opposed to other massages I’ve received in town, they really went the extra mile to ascertain what specifics were troubling me and took the time to ensure they were remedied. During the massage, Irene offered valuable insights into finding the root cause and even recommended some stretches to help! The massage was absolutely amazing as she was able to release some tension in muscles, I wasn’t even aware of! Not to mention how kind and genuine of a person she is. If you’re looking for a massage, pick anywhere in town and they’ll accomplish it. But if you’re looking for the knowledge/tools that truly make a worthwhile difference in muscle recovery, Graceful Touch is your place! [June 2021]
