What people are saying...

I am most grateful for the opportunities to work with some really amazing people who teach me so much. Many of these I have worked with over time and one of the things I love most about this work is developing relationships with clients and the continuity which enables us to discover more about what is going on at deeper levels in the mind, body and spirit along the way. We learn together what kinds of changes and healing are possible. It's endlessly fascinating and engaging.

A few testimonials, in case you're wondering what my work is like...
"I met Honor while she was practicing massage at Shands Hospital as part of the Arts in Medicine program. Having had experience with massage, I was immediately impressed by Honor's ability to listen deeply and translate that to her practice. She blends body work with creative energy to treat the whole person. I received positive results while working with her.

Honor combines body work with deep listening to treat you as a whole person. Her practice involves a deep attention to the physical along with response to what is happening with you. She is truly gifted in her approach to massage." - Constance Keeton, Director of Volunteer Services, Shands Hospital


"I have enjoyed a number of massages over the years and never had a better, more relaxing and beneļ¬cial massage as the one Honor gave me. Her presence, her spirit, her heart and genuine care are all a part of the experience. She really gives her all! You will feel relaxed, refreshed, rejuvenated and empowered!

If you have never had a massage before, what on earth are you waiting for? It is such a wonderful treat for the senses and so good for your body. You will wonder why it took so long to experience this divine experience with Honor.

Gratefully, Cyndi Crockett"


“A few words about Honor Woodard and the dreamwork she offers. It is a bit difficult to come up with such because Honor so deeply inhabits the dreamtime through her vision and presence. Her rare gift, then, is her ability to communicate with others this way of seeing and connecting. Honor is an artist and clairvoyant with wide eyes that catch patterns and colors instinctively. She is able to apply this way of seeing in the way of listening to dreams. This occurs seamlessly, as she gives attention to the present stories that emerge, and discerns themes which can then be transformed into a symbolic way of seeing — bridging my waking stories to my dreams, integrating them all into clear, navigable insights. Being in the presence of Honor perhaps captures at heart her mystical essence; a vast reflection of ancient wisdom and the threads which lead to an unknown future. Within this discourse, the possibility of transformation emerges. In the sharing of dreams and under Honor’s guidance, long held beliefs are brought to light and asked to dissolve in their resistance. The mind is made open and the strength of clarity and integrity come through in this collaborative act of dreamwork. Telling a dream to Honor is like telling a secret to a gentle and compassionate spaciousness. An opening occurs. She is mindful in her awareness and has this to share with others. In the presence of Honor, the dreamtime takes on a whole new meaning." --Lucy Tyksinski, LMT, St. Louis, MO January 3, 2015

"I have had the pleasure to work with Honor on several occasions to interpret dreams and significant life experiences. Each time the experience has yielded fresh insight, and deep understanding both within the narrative context of my personal journey, as well as larger and more universal themes and patterns through which we are all connected. I have also found it to be a process which liberates tremendous amounts of energy. Honor has a way of listening intently, and guiding you through the emotional landscape, in which you feel both safe and supported, while still helping you to excavate in areas which may feel challenging or threatening. In doing so, it becomes possible to see your own story and its personal meaning more clearly, and to emerge in a place of light........and lightness. It is a rare gift, and a special quality.” A Stoltman, New York, NY

"For the achy, the tense, and the generally stress-addled...
Nestled in a cool, wooded corner of Lakemont, there's a little wood cabin. And in that cabin is an amazing, magical massage therapist...so magical, in fact, that all who lay upon her table feel like Completely Different People when they get up again.
Seriously!
I just had my second therapeutic massage with Honor Woodard, and I couldn't be happier. Or more relaxed. Really, truly, I'm feeling SO much better. Hooray!

- Faith in Tiger, GA

"I have received a lot of massage work, and Honor's work is top notch. She is highly intuitive and I have felt great relief and been free of pain after sessions with her. And my rhomboids aren't screaming at me anymore!" - Pat, Massage Therapist, Gainesville, FL

"To whom it may concern, I have had the pleasure of being both teacher and client of Honor Woodard... I found her work thorough and beneficial in addressing my needs. I miss the quality of her work and attention. I would encourage you to experience her work directly. She would be an excellent addition to one’s practice. -Franklin L. Merillat, LMT Lead Instructor, Florida School of Massage
