I was a loyal client here for many years and truly valued the professionalism and care I once…read moreexperienced. This place meant a lot to me. Over time, however, it felt like the management style, particularly at the ownership level, shifted. Communication became inconsistent, and situations that once would have been handled directly and professionally were not. This was not reflective of the front desk team. Many of the therapists I connected with moved on. My most recent experience simply was not the right fit. I did not feel fully heard, and the session felt more rushed than mindful. After the session, there was no follow up or check in at all, which has never happened in any of my previous experiences here. I was tired of bouncing around, so I gave it time to see if things might improve. In the end, she agreed it was not the right fit. What was most disappointing was how it was handled. It took several calls, emails, and texts from me to learn that my sessions had been canceled less than 24 hours before my next appointment. The front desk told me the owner was supposed to call me about the cancellations and to suggest an alternative therapist, but that call never happened, and there was no follow up afterward. There was also a brief moment that stood out. I had left more than 20 percent, though less than the week before because the experience felt different. When I shared that, it was suggested that the front desk might not have passed the full amount along. That surprised me, as the front desk team has always been consistently kind, professional, and trustworthy. I want to be clear that the front desk staff are excellent. They make scheduling seamless, communicate thoughtfully, and create a welcoming environment every time you walk in. I am writing this because I cared about this place. I used to genuinely look forward to coming here. Moving on feels like losing something familiar, almost like losing a friend. I would still welcome a one on one conversation with the owner, as I would have appreciated that before. I hope the practice finds its way back to what once made it so special.

Overall, a nice experience. 4.5 Stars…read more Zenergy is pretty much a one-woman show run by Lily and she's great. She's very friendly and good at what she does -- you can feel the difference in your body immediately. Appointments can be made via email, calling, or texting; but be sure to give her about 48 hours notice. I went to her Mass Ave location, but she also does home massages. For my visit, I had an hour-long Swedish massage and I have to say that it's definitely one of the better ones I had. She was very professional and asked about my preferences and needs. When I told her about my upper back scoliosis, she didn't automatically avoid working that area or completely ignore what I said (like some other masseuses have done), she just gently worked it until it got better. My shoulders and neck honestly haven't felt that relaxed and comfortable in a long time. I also asked her to focus on my hands and feet and she did a good job. The only reason why this isn't a full 5 Stars is because of the atmosphere -- it just wasn't very conducive to relaxation. In all fairness though, that is not Lily's fault. She just happens to share the office with a therapist(?), so the decor felt a little out of place for a massage. The location is very convenient though; it's right on Mass Ave, with loads of metered parking nearby and within reach of several bus stops. Overall, I would definitely visit Lily again and would recommend her services to anyone. She does a great job and I've already bought the $75 for $50 Yelp Deal for my next appointment. Pro-Tip: It's cash or PayPal only -- no cards yet. Roughly $65 for 60 minutes.

I always come out feeling like I'm walking on air. I'm never disappointed when I leave here, which is a nice change from some of the other body/energy work experiences I've had. Highly recommended.

She is the perfect balance of grounded and otherworldly. As someone who professionally vets psychics and healers, I am not easily impressed.

I was completely impressed with Gaia. I loved her peaceful way of bringing you fully into the moment. Her messages were very specific and accurate.

The studio is on the third floor of a building and shares bathrooms with the other tenants of the building. That was the only real negative of the experience. A dirty semi-public bathroom. There is some initial paperwork before your first appointment, it took less than 5 minutes. Then you wait in the lounge area for your masseuse. I got the therapeutic massage and it was just what I needed. The massage therapist checked in with me about the pressure and wasn't chatty. It was bliss. She really helped to work out some pain I had been having and I left much more relaxed than when I came in. An overall 4.5 experience.

My first experience with Amber was in a group setting with my family where we had our first experience with the "Angel messages" she receives and delivers. This took place in November of 2015 and I have been seeing her on a monthly basis since May of 2016 for reiki with guidance. Since then my overall quality of life has increased significantly. Depression is a thing of the past for me and I experience minimal anxiety compared to what I used to. She has encouraged me to eliminate any negative, excess baggage that has been dragging me down for years which has had an extremely positive impact on my life. I leave every session feeling fully recharged and focused. None of the other experiences I have had with therapy have been this profound or helpful. So lucky I found her!

So, I'm a Skeptic…read more Just that kinda person. I generally don't like medicine that I can't trace back to anatomical reality (I get exasperated talking about Chi and other untestable, unmeasurable concepts). So I obviously didn't go to Acupuncture to get my chakrahs back into balance or anything like that. I have a pretty nasty back injury that gave me a fair amount of pain and tough ciatica (look it up). I've been doing PT, and I've been healing quite nicely (I'm not going ton a "Western Medicine is Useless!" rant today), but I'm not a very patient person. I wanted to see if I could do some pain management beyond medication, for obvious reasons. I went to see Lisa because my mother's friends (who are much more... spiritually oriented) have given me sufficient anecdotes that I decided I'd give it a try. Anyway, disclaimer aside. I enjoyed the visit. Lisa is a grounded, rational person that actually talks about medicine and the body. There's a little bit of "energy flow" stuff going on that I managed to not get frustrated about--in short, at the end of the conversation I was pretty convinced she knew what she was talking about. Then with the needles. Afterwards, I felt significant improvement. I have a lot more relaxation in my back and leg, the ciatica's gone down. I'm walking around without a cane, which is a fair improvement. I'm quite pleased with the treatment. Over the next few days, I'll be updating as to my progress. I'd recommend Lisa for an alternative approach to pain management stress, musculoskeletal or nervous problems, definitely. I will continue to hold out on the mystical cancer-healing powers of heat lamps and small needles until I've seen better science on the topic.
