This was actually far from sketchy or that could mean I've just been to a lot of sketchier things hahahaha. I firmly believe in going to different schools for services like hair, skin, massage care...because hey why not support a future professional...they have to learn and practice and I don't mind paying less! It was easy to call and leave a message for my preferred date and time. I called in the morning and received a call back that afternoon (when there was clinic). There are limited days and hours that the students have clinic so keep that in mind. It worked out for me because luckily there are evening hours. Check in was easy and at the time of my service a 1 hour massage is listed as $40, no add ons available that I know of. You pay before starting. Josie was my student and she greeted me and asked if I had visited before. I had not so she gave me a brief rundown as she guided me to the changing area. It's a large dimly lit room with multiple massage beds. Relaxing spa music was playing which is great for potentially snoring or awkward breathing sounds which could occur. I was given a very large sheet which I appreciated as some other places I swear try to give me the smallest square of fabric possible, barely covering all the goodies....not an issue here though! I took of everything but my panties in order to need impede on her flow. She led me to her massage bed and I hopped on! She asked if there were any specific areas I would like addressed and I told her my lower back gets on/off tightness. I received a full body massage and always felt properly draped at all times. Pressure was applied and changed as needed on various body parts and she checked in with me to ask if I was ok multiple times. I had an amazing experience! I tipped her in cash after my service...so be sure to bring some cash for your student. My first time here and will definitely be back when I'm in the area! As with any service based school, of course your experience will vary depend on who services you but verbally everyone will have the basics down to be able to service you...I've not had any issues and hope the same for you LOL If you've read this far thanks! You're a real one :) Pro tip...upon opening the door to enter...there are stairs immediately leading DOWN....do not try to run in or you will definitely be eating some stairs...potentially looking like an awkward slow mo cartoon gone wrong.

This review is for receiving massages as a client…read more I will never return. You're better off paying slightly more for massage envy or some place in china town. And least they realize they are providing product/service. The massages at The Massage School are hit or miss, they discourage requests outside of a specific routine, it's in a dungeon of a basement with no separators between tables and they give you a bed sheet to wrap around you like a toga. But that's what you get for $40. If you find a good person, you can request them until they graduate out, including for 2 hr massages. What makes this 1 star is their ineffective scheduling system and even worse communication with clients. They have repeatedly shifted me from my requested people with zero communication. I've had some pretty bad experiences as a result. What's the point of requesting someone and traveling 45 minutes to find out it's with a masseuse who has no idea what they're doing? Thats not the agreement we had. Sometimes this is a result of simply not taking the time to call me. Other times it's been confusion between their staff because they keep their schedule with paper and pencil. If you want to use such a poor scheduling method, the least you could do is keep track of changes and have a method to let your clients know with an opportunity to cancel. You're using a 1980s organizational system with terrible 2020s customer service. I've received zero offers for refund (I've asked) nor remorse from the person who runs the place, but many apologies from staffers who can't do anything about the situation. I was told to the equivalent of 'you get what you get and don't get upset.' I know you're a school but you're still charging money for a service. Try acting like it. After too many experiences like this I am tired of paying with my money and time for disrespect and bad massages.

I experienced sexual harassment by the massage therapy instructor of the program. It affected me mentally and physically throughout the program. Most of the students and staff knew this information and we felt very uncomfortable. The school facilities received the information about the assault and proceeded to bring me into a group meeting with the harasser (massage instructor) and the rest of the victims which was very nerve-wrecking. Then they proceeded to do nothing with this information except tell students to have more than one person in the room when the teacher wants to teach something or when massaging the teacher. I went to the police to make a report but they said the instructor have the right to say no to an investigation but it would be more beneficial for me if the rest of the victims also shared their experiences in a report, but my most of my classmates were Thai without a green card, or in process if obtaining one and don't want problems, even though the police and I reassured them that it isn't a problem. I have no one to support me because the other victims/ my friends from massage therapy class won't report him. I have no choice but to finish the whole entire program with the feeling of depression, and being stared down upon.

For at least 10 years, I've suffered the physical effects of daytime and nighttime jaw clenching. For several years, I've been experiencing regular 24 hour/day migraines for several days at a time. My headaches, neck and shoulder pain were interfering with my ability to sleep for more than a few hours each night. After the first therapy session, my pain level went from a 10 down to a 2 (on a scale in 1-10). During the 3 weeks following that session, I experienced 2 headaches that each lasted for part of a day and were treatable with ibuprofen. My jaw felt relaxed in a way that I hadn't felt in more than 10 years - the pain, pressure and tension were relieved. My sleep started to improve after 5 years of poor sleep, as I could suddenly fall asleep again after most wakings. A few weeks later, I returned for another session. I can't rate my pain now because the pain is gone. I haven't had a headache or even felt the suggestion of an oncoming headache. I feel occasional tightness in my neck. No headaches. My jaw continues to feel relaxed. I continue to sleep well and I can't believe I'm writing that! Steve's craniosacral therapy work treats the whole person. His work is intuitive and expert. He cares so greatly that I feel healed and that his work long-lasting. Two sessions with Steve have changed the quality of my life.

However, once I stepped inside the gorgeous studio space I felt reassured that I had made the right decision in coming to see here. The decor is Thai themed with rich red and orange, with copious quantities of natural light from the four windows. Mary was warm and welcoming, getting me some water flavored with a hint of fresh ginger and lime juice as I filled out my intake form. After that, we sat and talked for awhile about how I was feeling, my history with bodywork, etc. I feel like she got a really thorough understanding of where I was at and how to best address my needs. As for the massage, I had never had a Thai massage before, so I didn't know what to expect but I think Mary made a convert out of me! It was totally different than anything I've had before. It started with me laying on my back, on a shiatsu mat on the floor, then Mary proceeded to not only massage me but also place me in a variety of stretches that were both challenging and deeply relaxing. By the end I was in a dream-like state, feeling calm and restored, ready to go back into the world. I never feel rushed, and am always invited to hang out, have some water, and chat until I'm ready to go. She makes sure I get the amount of massage time I came for, sometimes running over. I have since come back for more 90 minute sessions, especially if I know I'm going to have a rough week ahead of me. After Mary is done with me I'm pretty sure I'm a little taller than when I first walked in the door.

However, I like to get my massages outside of the work place and after my first therapist wrecked his wrists in a biking accident I had to go searching for a new one, and search I did! I went to on in JP, the person chanted over me. I almost jumped my naked ass right up off the bed and out the door. I think the monsoon that was going on outside kept my ass on the table! Then I went to various places in the Back Bay. I mean really, how many salons are there on Newbury Street! We could list many of them, but I will not do so. I will tell you this though, when I get a massage I want it to be firm, I want it to get my knots out, I want to feel like I had some work done, not just have a few light touches here and there, and I'd also like a therapist to listen to my needs and take them into consideration while I am being worked on. Not just follow a model of massage they might have learned in school or from their spa instructor, and I think that's what John is perfect at, listening and detailing the areas of your body that needs the most work! I have never left feeling more refreshed and happy! I must also say, his space has enough room to do the tango if you wanted. NO cramped room here with a bed jutting out of a corner, oh no it's a very mellow, inviting space that allows you to breath and feel comfortable, as well as a different selection of music if that lazy spa music isn't your thing!! And if you give him a try, I believe your first visit is discounted, so make sure you ask about that! All in all, a 5 star experience if I've ever had one and look forward to my next visit this coming Monday!!
