She was…read moreextremely professional and accommodating and I left feeling more relaxed than I have in a while. I have had a bad experience with massage in the past where the therapist apparently didn't take me seriously when I said not to use anything with artificial fragrance, so I really appreciated Stephanie taking the time to make sure I knew exactly what oil product she was using on me and letting me see the ingredients for myself to be absolutely sure. Definitely will be back.

All WITH Affordability! (Bonus) During my initial 1st meeting with Michelle, I am impressed with her initial assessment of my personal needs. She was Right-On with her evaluation and quickly, we came to an exciting New Plan! Leaving this meeting, I became more hopeful and enthusiastic about beginning my new and improved Healthy Lifestyle Plan! She is accommodating and flexible with scheduling and appointments! In the privacy of her beautiful home, but also works with groups, I think(?)! I am planning on a move to a further City and had to cancel my commitment with her. I hope to reevaluate my circumstances afterwards! Perhaps, the new distance may actually workout for me! I'm certain that it will not easy to find Everything that Michelle can provide to benefit my Personal Lifestyle! If you're considering a better "You", I am confident that Michelle will offer you the "Everything" offered to me!

Healing Hands of an Angel!!!…read more The name book assigns the meaning of the name "Michelle" as "Godly Woman". Speaking as a Michelle, I can say that not all of us can live up to this tall order, but Michelle Gallant can and does. Her hands performed miracles on my body this morning. Let me tell you more... After a week of working at a camp for kids who have a brother or sister who has died or who has a major medical illness (cancer, HIV, Sickle Cell, etc.), I was beat down tired. The kids and camp in CT were amazing. But imagine how much love and attention kids like this need. They are often left with baby sitters and for good reason, their parents are exhausted. So, we nurture them with food, fun, boating, fishing, swimming, horse back riding, camping out in the woods, games, arts, wood-shop, late night sneak outs to do candle lit chats, etc. My back is aching, feet throbbing, neck and shoulders are killing me, all the while I have been hot and sweatie chasing after and running with wolves (aka, 27 of the most energetic 11,12, and 13 year old boys and girls I have ever met). I come back to Salem, MA to spend the night at a fellow camp counselor's home before my trip back to Los Angeles, and I can barely walk. When I mention this to my hosts, they wisely suggest a massage by local healer, massage therapist, yogi, and Reiki II provider... Michelle GALLANT to the rescue! She quickly squeezed me in for an hour massage. Her fees were reasonable ($80/hr or $50 for 30), she welcomed me to her home office, had warm, safe, caring, and healing energy, and immediately stepped into the role of angel for me. She also provided me with insight about where my pain was strongest and what that meant for my psychological and emotional work. As a counselor myself, I can also tell you that she was totally accurate. But, what can I say? I am a hopeful romantic and it takes a toll on me. After I was done, I convinced my fellow male traveler to bump his appointment up from 30 min to 1 hour. We both thought she was amazing! I told my fellow camp volunteers that I would volunteer at camp again just to come back and see Michelle as a treat for a job well done. If you live in New England, make an appointment to see her. She is worth the money and travel time and is a very gifted healer!

I love that she opened her own location as the personal touch she is able to provide is unmatched. She relaxes my mind and body to the point I even doze off to sleep while she deep tissue massages my knots, or works on Myofascial Release. We talk some and I release my mind- stressors and we also just enjoy the peaceful music. She allows me to set the tone of my 90 minute session which is nice. I go as often as I can and my body is better thanks to her touch.

Moving work for the mind and body..having had a few sessions with Shanti in the past I have to say…read morethat there is something quite deep and different with her healing work.. I always left with a completely relaxed feeling and experienced some profound effects afterward that lasted for days. I am a strong believer in the mind/body connection and how important it is to recognize for true healing of the body and soul. Intuitive massage and energy work can have profound effects, and Shanti was always supportive in working through stuff that might come up from the deeply healing work that she does. Advisor, practitioner, spiritual guide... thank you Shanti..you have a lovely caring way about your work... Tom

If you like deep intuitive massage, you will fall in love with Mary. Every once in a while you like…read moresomething so much you don't want to share with the world. 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.

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.

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.
