Well, I just finished my 10(ish) series with Daphne, and I already miss her! I probably would have kept going for forever, but Daphne was honest enough to tell me that she thought I had reached the full benefit of the rolfing series. (However, she did invite me back for tune-ups in the future, whenever I feel like I need them!). Overall, my body feels much more elongated and looser. I actually gained an inch or two in height, and even my mom would be proud of my posture now. My core is straighter and clothes fit better. My shoulders are even, and my right shoulder (chronic bursitis from playing competitive tennis) feels so much better than it used to. I honestly haven't had any issues with my shoulder, IT band, or headaches for awhile, and I'm attributing it to Daphne's mad skills. I just feel... healthy. I highly recommend rolfing and Daphne to just about everyone. After a few sessions, you will feel great! read more

This review is based on my one experience for accupuncture only. So I had my my first experience with accupuncture yesterday! I had never done it before so have nothing to compare it to but think I can be objective about the service at Cambridge Health which was very good. My accunpuncturist (Marilyn) was friendly and thorough in her questions prior to beginning. Marilyn clearly believes in the medicine of accupuncture and helping people which got through some of my cynicism. She made me feel really comfortable and made sure I didn't have any questions or qualms before starting. I actually don't have any physical issues (knock on the old wood) aside from weak ankles from sports but it turns out that it's best to have accupuncture before you have problems as a preventive health measure. The needles did not hurt (a few stung for a second) and I could actually feel stirrings in my ankles from the needles in my scalp! The appointment lasted about 90 minutes but flew by. I am still not 100% sure about the powers of accupuncture but afterwards I had a feeling of euphoria akin to Peter in Office Space after hypnosis! I also had football practice that night and my previously sore left ankle felt pretty good. I know, it could all be in my head, but I really enjoyed the experience and made a second appointment. They are running a special right now- 50% off your first two treatments if you call before 9/15 so give it a try! read more

I've been seeing Daphne for Rolfing and have been extremely impressed. I am trying to recover from a running injury and rolfing has made a dramatic difference in my acute pain and has relieved almost all my chronic low back pain. Daphne is extremely friendly, knowledgeable and really listens! I've used chiropractors and acupuncturists in my quest to reduce my lower back and hip pain and rolfing has been by far the most effective. I've only had 3 sessions and there has been a huge improvement. I also began seeing Julie for pilates to rebuild strength now that Daphne has reduced pain. Again, I can't speak highly enough of the warmth and professionalism of Julie. Her studio is beautiful and pilates using the machines has been extremely effective as a recuperative exercise. My posture and core strength have already improved in just 3 sessions! I will continue to see both Daphne and Julie as I move further along my road to recovery. read more

Daphne does the rolfing at Cambridge Health Associates. I did ten rolfing sessions with her and my overall posture and health has improved tremendously since I began seeing her this fall. My lower back pain has all but disappeared. She is professional, precise, and extremely knowledgeable. And always made me feel at ease. I've tried a lot of bodywork and alternative therapies, but the effects of rolfing were direct, and have made a huge difference in my life. Her website is: http://www.cambridgerolfing.com/index.html read more

The people here are very friendly. Some work directly for CHA and some practioners rent out rooms in this gorgeous Victorian. The rooms are clean without being sterile, and the place has a great atmosphere. I see Marilyn Yohe for acupuncture & Chinese herbal medicine & I highly recommend her. They also do rolfing, zero balancing, reiki etc. EDIT: Marilyn is incredibly easy going and friendly. She's easy to talk to about health-related problems, without feeling like you're at the doctor. I've recommended her to many, many friends who tell me they feel at-ease just by speaking to her, and they also agree that it speaks to how amazing she is that one can be semi-clothed, full of needles and be completely and utterly relaxed. read more

I've been getting acupuncture from Marilyn at CHA for about three years. I first came in with a severe sinus infection -- I'd been sick for a month and had seen my doctor twice with no result. I saw Marilyn and was 80% better in 2 days! Amazing. I have no idea the scientific basis of acupuncture, but it seems to work for me. Marilyn is a great practitioner: she's attentive and kind but never preachy. She's very professional yet also puts you at ease. read more

Last year I had 10 sessions of Rolfing done with Daphne Berwind-Dart and it was life-changing. She was completely honest about the benefits and how it worked, as well as whether or not certain portions of the Rolfing would be uncomfortable (which they were, momentarily, but the long-term positive change in my body was worth a few minutes of intense sensation). My posture was improved, I gained at least an inch in height, and my sinus and headache issues were greatly alleviated. It was easier to sit at my desk and I felt more energy and enthusiasm about moving regularly. An old ankle injury felt better, and I found walking easier and less painful. After the sessions, I really felt more grounded and better connected to my body and how it moves during the day. Daphne was always professional and extremely pleasant. At no point did I feel awkward or self-conscious (you are Rolfed in just your undergarments, which can seem harrowing if you've ever felt self-conscious about your body), but Daphne puts you at ease--her main concern is the comfort and health of her clients. Having done research on the price of Rolfing sessions in this area, I can also say that Daphne is an excellent value. The facility itself is easy to find, clean, light, pleasant, and comfortable. It's in an old house, which makes gives it an inviting feel--unlike many sterile, clinical medical offices. I'll be returning to Daphne later this year for a tune-up session. Unlike chiropracting, you can usually feel the effects of Rolfing for many years after your 10 sessions are completed. But I've just suffered an injury and can already feel that my body has (negatively) compensated how it moves to accommodate the injury. Once I am healed I'll be returning to her. Can't recommend her highly enough! read more

Being 25, athletic and with fairly proper structural alignment, I was curious as to how a Rolfing 10 series could improve my athletic performance, my posture, and my day to day life. I came across Daphne Berwind-Dart per a referral from another prestigious body worker, and having just completed my 10 series, I couldn't be happier. Coming in with injuries to my neck and hip, along with having incredibly tight hips, it feels unbelievable to be 100% healthy again. My movement in my hips has increased exponentially, which was the main improvement I wanted to get out of the series. I feel taller (probably am), my stride feels longer (probably is), and my understanding of feeling "centered" & "grounded" is on a whole other level. Strictly pertaining to Daphne's Rolfing efficacy, she's an amazing body worker. Every single session I was able to feel a difference in my whole body, and even as shortly as the 3rd session was experiencing monumental progress with reducing acute and chronic injuries sustained over years of football, soccer and weightlifting. Trying to describe having increased length/expanded range of motion all throughout your body doesn't do it justice, it's something you experience every moment no matter what you're doing. I feel fluid, flexible and healthy - and as someone who puts a great deal of emphasis on "quality of life," it was worth its weight in gold. read more

I can't say enough good things about Daphne--and about Rolfing. I just completed my ten session series with her and feel a thousand times better. I used to crave massages all the time, now I wouldn't mind getting one, but I don't need it. I used to find it uncomfortable to sit up straight (too much time on a computer), and now standing tall feels normal, relaxed. I'm a complete believer in Rolfing--and Daphne is fantastic. She is intelligent, professional, extremely talented, warm, knowledgeable, and she gets great results. read more

I took an amazing yoga class with Natalie on Sunday night at 6pm. It was the perfect balance of challenging, while being supportive. I even felt better about facing Monday morning after this class. Plus after I challenged myself by achieving some poses I had no I could do, Natalie gave the best head massage during Savasana that was like the cherry on the sundae! I am so going back :) read more

Marilyn Yohe, the acupuncturist at Cambridge Health Associates, is really impressive. She knows what she's doing. I walked into my initial consultation with her having already filled out the patient history forms she had emailed me. But in person, she continued to ask me question after thoughtful question. She developed a truly thorough picture of my health status before treating me. I have experience with a variety of acupuncturists. Marilyn's light touch and knowledge of how to manipulate the body with acupuncture needles matches the best of them. She is knowledgeable and easygoing, ready to answer question after question. On the occasion that she doesn't know something, she will research it and get back to you. Because she shares so much useful information, I walk out of her treatment center feeling not only relaxed from the acupuncture, but empowered because I have a clearer sense of what I can do to improve my health. Her services have been an excellent investment in my well-being. Make an appointment! read more

I'm glad I chose Daphne as my Rolfer practitioner. My posture has improved a lot from my first visit the tenth session. My body overall definitely feels more loose and limber. My muscles feel more flexible and I don't feel that stiffness I used to have whenever I have to bend down. The seventh session had a special result for me personally because it reduced dramatically the tightness I used to have on my face and cheeks. I highly recommend Daphne for anyone considering trying Rolfing. Her technique is not only great, but also made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. read more

I have been receiving acupuncture treatments from Marilyn Yohe at Cambridge Health Associates for the past two years, and I recommend her without hesitation. She is a consummate professional, and always takes the time at the beginning of each session to check in with me, and find out what's been ailing me specifically. She customizes each acupuncture session in accordance with this information. While she conducts each acupuncture session with diligence and professionalism, at the same time she is friendly and easygoing, which puts me at ease. Her treatments have been particularly effective at mitigating my insomnia and joint pain. Finally, she recently began accepting credit cards, which makes the payment process faster and easier. read more

Abram Ojure treated me for Polymalgia Rhuematica. My pain was so severe, I could not perform simple activities of daily life. I could not sleep nor get out of bed easily. In a short period of time, my pain began to subside. I am please to say I am completely pain free. Everything he told me in terms of my treatment was accurate. He continued to treat me for for weight loss and to achieve optimum health. I have lost 40 pounds and feel wonderful. I truly recommend Abram he is a knowledgeable caring professional who helped me get my life back read more

I just completed 8 sessions of rolfing with Daphne and I feel amazing! I have had mild scoliosis all my life and have had constant pain from it for several years. I'd tried physical therapists and chiropractors and even yoga but nothing seemed to help for more than a few hours. Since my scoliosis is actually not that severe none of my doctors understood why I was having pain from it. Daphne was the first person who acknowledged that I was feeling pain and was truly able to help me. Though I am still not and never will be perfectly aligned, I am so much better and the pain is almost completely gone (even months later!). I am so happy because I thought I was going to have to live with the pain forever. I also definitely got a little taller - I'm finally taller than my younger sister! Daphne is great at what she does and made me feel very comfortable throughout all the sessions. She was always very honest and even encouraged me to stop after 8 sessions since she believed I had reached the full benefits of rolfing. I still feel great even though it has been a while since my last session. I would really encourage anyone to try rolfing and I highly recommend Daphne! read more

It's a wonderful place to go for holistic treatments, whether you are looking for acupressure, shiatsu, massage, or acupuncture.

Daphne Berwind-Dart is phenomenal. I have a shoulder instability that frequently causes lots of chest, neck and back pain. When I met Daphne last year I was in so much pain. I tried physical therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic, massage... they made my condition worse. I felt relief after the first session. 10 sessions later my posture and muscles were relaxed enough I was able to start personal training and get my shoulder in shape. I still visit her once in a blue moon for a tune up. She's a great conversationalist and very intelligent. Also, I did try one other rolfer in Needham twice who was nice, but not very in tune with the body like Daphne. I always leave Daphne's feeling 1000x times better whereas the Needham lady was way too rough and caused lots of inflammation not to mention scratches all over my back =( read more

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 10 yrs ago and have suffered ever since, until I found Dr Abram .He has helped relieve my pain drastically.I look forward to my acupuncture appointments and highly recommend Dr Abram, he listens and is very compassionate towards your health. I was loosing hope until I started acupuncture.Best decision I have made! read more

I started going to Marilyn Yohe in January, 2012, for respiratory difficulties and chronic sinus infections. I'd had these issues for over 10 years and had never tried acupuncture before but I was desperate and willing to give anything a try. Marilyn is very easy to talk to, non-judgmental and just puts you at ease. Working with her has really improved my health and quality of life. I feel that my immune system has strengthened and I get fewer sinus infections. The nice thing is when I feel an infection brewing Marilyn is able to pinpoint it and help stop it or make it less severe. I can't recommend her enough. read more

Daphne is good, and her Rolfing skills really work. Opened up all kinds of crap that got jammed up in my body to protect a back injury. So much pain was relieved through 10 Rolfing sessions with Daphne, because things fell back into their correct place (go gravity!). It allowed weakened muscles to strengthen, and overtaxed muscles to relax. The back problem stopped being an all-body problem, and I have gone on to fix the ACTUAL issue, not the 100 other things that hurt because of it. read more
