We moved to Northern Liberties about a year ago and one of the first things I needed to look for…read morewas a great Massage Therapist. Missy was the third Therapist I've seen since our move and clearly, third time's a charm! In my first session, I've expressed to Missy about my chronic migraine condition and the constant pain in the back of my neck and shoulders. She listened and she worked hard on the specific areas I have told her. Her techniques are phenomenal. Her patience is admirable. She had "good intentions" and genuinely wanted to relieve my pain and I really appreciate that, as it rarely comes nowadays. The day after my massage was the first day I was able to take a break from all my medications after having a 2-week migraine attack. It was quite liberating. I have been seeing Missy in a weekly basis for months now and I must say, she has definitely helped relieve my symptoms. I am hoping to come off all my medications eventually with the help of massage and other alternative methods. With that said, I am very grateful to meeting Missy and all that she does....and I highly recommend her. :)

She took her time and I could tell she was paying attention to exactly what my skin needed. In addition the way she massaged my lymph nodes, I know my face needed that.

I'm just blessed enough to have experienced her hands.

Very grateful for this place. Today was my first visit and I feel great.

I've been seeing Grace for about a year now and I cannot recommend her enough--and in fact I HAVE…read morerecommended her to several people in my life, which is why I thought it was fair to sing my praises publicly. Booking regular massages with Grace is the best thing I've done for myself in the past year, by far. I didn't know that I could feel as good as I do after I leave the office, but it's enough to make me keep coming back on a monthly basis--sometimes even bi-weekly, depending on how my body's acting in that time. Every visit is a little different, and she really customizes my experience to suit my needs. Grace's hands are a true gift: I don't even know how she manages to find every area that needs work, but I'm ridiculously appreciative. The office itself is clean, calming, well-lit, and smells really nice--good vibes all around. I also want to note that I have two rods in my back from a spinal fusion when i was in middle school, and I was concerned about how she might work around them, but it was a non-issue and I've actually learned a lot about what's going on back there from questions she's answered for me during massages. Go! Book with Grace!

Source Body is the best-kept secret in Philly. I usually book with Ellen, however, the entire staff…read moreis on point. Ellen always begins appointments by checking in with me about what's going; any stressors, pain, problem spots, etc. We'll talk about what needs the most attention and she'll reiterate what she plans to work on so everyone is on the same page and everything that needs to be addressed is given the proper attention. I have plantar fasciitis and Ellen's massage -- it is so far beyond any place like Hand and Stone -- is the only thing that keeps the pain at bay. She has a serious gift. She'll find and fix things I didn't even realize needed help. I come out of there feeling amazing; like I've just been on a Caribbean vacation for a week. The space is clean, cozy, and instantly relaxing. I cannot recommend her enough.

Judy Moon did my massage and my wife took pregnant massage from Gwyn. Qe arrived 5 mins before time and got seated. I was asked to choose an aroma of my liking. Wife was taken to a different room and she was given pregnancy pillows. Many pillows. I saw her after her massage and she said she enjoyed the massage very much. My massage was very relaxing. Pressure was perfectly adjusted to my liking. Mellow music. In fact I went off to sleep in the end. Judy was kind to not wake me up. When I woke up she said to take my time and come out when I was ready. My entire experience was very relaxing. I will come back here.

I was quite happy to hear that Rhiannon is back in a new location, accepting therapeutic massage…read moreappointments! It's been a while since I've been to Philosopher's Stone, but I am happy to say that Rhiannon's skills & intuition (or whatever magic is in her hands) are better than ever. I've been to other therapists and I can honestly say that no one has been able to match the pain relief and overall feeling of "goodness" that I experience after a session with Rhiannon. I have arthritis, back pain, and definitely don't stretch enough - I'm trying. Rhiannon listens & understands my pain & magically heals my body leaving me feeling so much better when I leave her office. The new space is great, very welcoming and adds to the relaxation of the experience. The office is in a beautiful old home, located on what is considered the Drexel campus (I think), very safe area, easy to get to and very easy to park. If you're looking for a highly skilled, professional, gifted therapist, I highly recommend Rhiannon! She's the best - I wouldn't steer you wrong. :)
