About Me

Massage is something I have been drawn to since childhood.  I feel like I have the best profession because I get to make people feel good and help them to heal in a warm, safe environment.

I am a member of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA).

Other things that are important in my life are my children, grandchildren, gardening and doing agility with my dogs.  I also enjoy doing all kinds of arts, crafts and music.

Testimonials

“There are people who profoundly touch our lives, bringing more than was expected; for me, Renée Surratt is one of these rare finds. Nearly two years ago, a tragedy befell my household, my 23 year old son fell 40′ from a cliff and broke his back and his legs. As the days turned into months, my body became stiff and ached with the stress I carried; my doctor recommended that I see a massage therapist. I dialed a name that seemed to pop out of the phonebook, not realizing at the time the office was over an hour’s drive from Anacortes. The drive was well worth it. Renée not only extended her healing hands my way, but also became a listening ear to my struggles.  I continue to see Renée and appreciate that she utilizes various modalities in her massage; she leaves me feeling balanced and centered. A professional with compassion, an oxymoron in this day and age, I will be forever grateful to Renée for pulling me up from the bottom of my own ravine. Bless you, Renée .”  ~  Christine Hendrix (College English Instructor)

“Renée’s stone massage is a special treat. It relaxes muscle tension and calms the mind; worries melt away. It’s a mini-vacation without the hassle of leaving town.”  ~  RD 

“Two years ago I was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease(ALS).  When I began therapy with Renée Surratt, I was able to climb on the table and rotate my body for a massage.  As the disease has progressed, Renée has learned to help me as my body has become more paralyzed.  These massages have been therapeutic in many ways.  They have relieved the pain of muscle contractions, stimulated circulation, and have enabled me to maintain a degree of independence.  Renée Surratt is the only massage therapist I have ever had who has never caused me any pain.”  ~  Bill Gardner
