I have been seeing Carrie for a few years now and she has rescued my muscles from continuous…read morestrains, knots, wear and tear. She is thorough and effective with her treatments, getting to each specific trigger point on muscles you never even knew were there. While, the treatment may not be the most relaxing(this is not a petting zoo experience!), it is beyond beneficial and result driven. Not only is Carrie a muscle guru, she provides energy healing that is approachable and flows seamlessly into her practice. Her calm nature can put even the most angst ridden individual at ease and her charming wit is just an extra bonus! I have searched far and wide to find a bodywork practitioner that provides me with myofascial relief and makes me, my soul, feel healed upon departure. I always leave there with a heightened sense of self and a calmness that stays with me throughout the day. Carrie is beyond flexible with booking times and rescheduling. She understands that sometimes, life gets in the way! I visit her at North End Yoga for treatments, the space is convenient and centrally located for us city folks. Book an appointment to see Carrie, you will not regret the decision and your muscles will thank you.

just now Highly recommended!!!! Carrie Forman's bodywork is…read moreexcellent. And her practical spirituality helps your mind and soul as well. I leave her sessions feeling like something constructive has happened. I've been into running and cycling for years, to the point where I now have issues with very tight muscles and knots in my back, glutes and hamstring muscles. No longer does simple stretching work to help me avoid injury. To help, Carrie digs in, completely knowledgeable of all the anatomy and the techniques to make muscles loosen. She's super-intuitive and quickly finds the spots that need attention -applying as much pressure as I can handle, and quick to adjust when it's too much or too little. In the past, I've recommended friends to see Carrie for 'emergency' visits to work out crippling spasms or soreness or other troubles. Invariably she gets it done to loosen the knots and smooth out the wrinkles in your psyche. Add to all that her Lexington studio is in a great location off Mass Ave, and her cute South African accent makes her funny quips all the more charming. Unlike 'buff and puff' spa massages, hers leave me feeling much healthier than when i came in. And she is very easy to communicate with by text - responsive and flexible to schedule changes as needed.

I found Joelle a few months ago and am so grateful to her still. I woke up to having pulled a…read moremuscle in my neck that made it impossible to stand up straight and difficult to move without pain. She was able to see me for the 30 minutes I needed, and in that time, I went from being completely immobile and in pain to finally being able to move again. She has a warm and welcoming demeanor, an intuition for what will heal, and a technique for fixing areas that need attention. I'm so glad I found her, and hope to see her again soon for a relaxation massage.

I have seen Stephanie a handful of times and was so excited to check out her new practice during my…read morerecent 60 minute massage last week. After 5+ months without a massage, it was an absolute privilege to be able to make a triumphant return to this routine ritual I had previously taken for granted. What I have always loved about Stephanie's approach is that she is the perfect balance of massage + cupping + breathing and energy work that creates this magical experience unlike any other massage I've had. I also appreciate how Stephanie takes seriously the pre-massage consultation and implements exactly what you need. Sometimes you need a bit more practical massage work to get at a sore muscle. Sometimes you need a real energy release and to just. Relax. And sometimes you don't know what you want, and you just trust Stephanie to take the wheel. It's just always what your soul and body needs. The best way to describe a session with Stephanie is that feeling during the savasana and the teacher comes over and gives you that quick 10 second massage that you swear is the best feeling in the world - except Stephanie's massage lasts 60-90 minutes! Upon leaving, I felt more grounded, relaxed, released than I've felt in a long time. I also really appreciated the amount of care and sanitization measures taken during my massage - before, during, and after. It seemed like Stephanie and I were in the same page on how seriously we have taken our stay at home and social distancing measures, so I felt completely safe during my appointment. Can't wait to return back for another session soon, and many more after that!

So feel lucky... you, you! ...that I am sharing this with you. My personal problem areas are in the upper back -- I hold all of my tension in my shoulders and I have knots like craters. Every massage I went to lasted me a few days and Mary always knew how to find and loosen me right up. She also gave me tips about things I need to do at home that would help me continue to relax and remove those knots. I have been seeing Mary for massage for years now, on and off for long and short periods of time. I wouldn't have thought a tiny little package could pack such a powerful punch (okay, well no punching, just lots of pressure as asked for)! And, I love her dog who makes me wish I had a dog. A dog like that.

Shaylynn is a fantastic massage therapist. I originally came in with pain in my spine that was…read moreradiating to my shoulder blade and back muscles that were fairly locked up. Shaylynn's technique provided immediate and (more importantly) lasting relief to my pain. She has very strong hands and always uses the perfect balance of pressure to really work the tissues without making it too painful or leaving you bruised (I've sadly had both from other local therapists). I returned every two weeks and the 1-2 days after my appointment were always the most pain-free. In combination with physical therapy exercises, which were not doing it alone, Shaylynn's treatments have made a huge difference in getting my back to a good place and returning my range of motion. Absolutely top notch for therapeutic massage, you will not be disappointed.
