If you need to be seen and heard Julie Is the therapist for you. She is an intuitive healer with a strong foundation in the healing arts which ranges from counseling to arts therapy to hands in the earth horticulture therapy and massage. She has the ability to be fully present and tuned in, to witness you and guide you through cloudy and stormy times and to celebrate your successes too! She is a genuine person with an open heart. We need more therapists like her in these challenging times. I highly recommend Julie as a counselor and a healer. read more

I visited Massage Sanctuary for the first time recently. I was overdue for some body work, and suffering an over whelming schedule, computer problems and recovering from an accident - I was very much in need of some body work. Unfortunately, the person I had scheduled my appointment with was sick, so on the day of the appointment she called to inform me that one of her co-workers, Rosemarie, had agreed to see me. I had a little bit of a hard time sorting out where to park, because it was dark when I arrived - NOTE: there's parking all around the building. The building is an amazing historic site in Acton - can't miss it! I was a little concerned when I arrived - the bathroom and massage studio were chilly, but Rosemarie had a heater on that had already warmed up the room and the massage table was warmed with an infrared blanket, so I was nice and toasty. Rosemarie gave me a fabulous massage - combining what I would best describe as Swedish technique and Reiki ( I believe she's a Reiki master). The end result left me feeling more relaxed and far less stressed! Reading the reviews, it seems that Massage Sanctuary has an extraordinary group of talented therapists who genuinely put their clients needs first - and thank you so much to Rosemarie for making room in your busy schedule for my outstanding massage! xoxo read more

I have been to the resort massage centers with fresh cucumber water and waterfalls. Private rest areas offer macadamia nuts to munch on while lounging in thick white robes. Then on to the massage offered by the young attractive staff in spandex outfits. Almost always with a palpable air of boredom while they go through the required motions that leave me sore and worse off than I was. If this is your thing, don't come here for a massage. The business is in a historic building with creaky stairs and high ceilings, very 1800"s. Once you arrive however, the space is functional, tranquil and comfortable. All of the effort goes into the quality of the work they perform. Thier massages are honestly sublime. The best I have had. After one too many laps in the pool and too many tense meetings I arrived a knot of tension. I left completely relaxed and thoroughly refresheshed. Thier work is in another category than the resort spas and the chain establishments. Highly recommended. read more

Roxy was wonderful! She shares some similar chronic issues as me, so she taught me a lot about what she has had to go through, and what would probably be good for me. Honestly, she gave me more attention and showed more knowledge about my body than most doctors I see. She is incredibly passionate about what she does! read more

Very good massage. Julie is a real pro.

After I got my 90 min. of relaxation, I left feeling like a brand new person! I haven't felt this relaxed in a long, long, long time! Roxy was amazing! The techniques that she used was perfect for my chronic back pain and headaches, I cannot wait to go back to Roxy again! Additionally, she is one of the most nurturing, relaxing, and kind person that I've ever met. Best massage ever! I will be back :) read more

MOST. RELAXING. MASSAGE. EVER.... I was in heaven drifting off to sleep at times. She will give you whatver pressure you are comfortable with, but I needed no adjustments. 24 hours later, I still feel relaxed. I would recommend Julie at Massage Sanctuary in a minute! I can't wait to go back!! read more

Julie Duffy is a a genuine healer.

Roxy has magic hands. She has a real passion for this work -- totally invested in making you feel better, and working with you. I've been seeing her for almost a year, and am glad to know her, and to get the benefit of her wisdom, openness, and .... those magic hands! read more

I've been getting regular massages from Emily DuRussell at Massage Sanctuary and they are AMAZING. Instead of pushing through knots, I feel like Emily melts them and I often get the sensation of warm water flowing down my back. I have trouble relaxing during massages normally because all I do is thinkthinkthink, but Emily's massages have completely put me out and I find myself dozing off and truly relaxing for once. Emily is warm and professional and I would recommend her to anyone! read more

The only gift I ask for anymore is massage packages from massage sanctuary. If you are looking to feel rejuvenated, this is the place for you. read more

I highly recommend Massage Sanctuary to anyone and everyone! Both Emily and Julie are gifted therapists who will listen to your expectations and give you exactly what you need. Clean, professional, and soothing atmosphere. read more

Roxy is a miracle worker! I had the total body reset and I left feeling like I had a new body. My range of motion has never been so wide, and everything just feels so much better. I feel like I am floating instead of walking, because of the work she did on my feet and legs. And the knot in my shoulder that I've had for months has dissipated. You wont find a better therapist! She will.make you feel like a new person! read more

I loved my massage with Roxy. She incorporates so many different modalities! I had the experience.

Had a massage with Kristie the other day. Went in with some issues, came out refreshed and relaxed !

Massage Sanctuary; Roxy Rocher & Julie Duffy are the most important ingredient in my weekly wellness! Roxy has been able to increase my mobility alleviating chronic pain issues. I treat myself to 3 hour CBD oil sessions that she is able to work out so much tension, then 1.5 or 2 hour sessions weeks between. I am in so much less chronic pain, thank goodness that Massage Sanctuary is local! read more

I made an appointment to see Roxy because I had several aches/pains and felt completely out of "alignment." She took great care of me. A solid 90 minutes of working out my kinks. She even found a few I didn't know that I had. She takes her job seriously and it's obvious that "healing" others is her priority. Mission accomplished. A great experience! read more

Had an amazing 90 min massage by Roxy. Highly recommend this place for a calming and relaxing environment to de-stress. I got home and slept for hours after this session read more

I saw Roxy for general stress relief as well as helping to manage my tight back, neck and hip muscles. She was fabulous and very sweet! Roxy really knows the muscles in the body and seemed to know exactly when she was on a muscle that was 'tender' and needed work. Roxy is very understanding of your needs and is goal oriented per each session. You can tell she really enjoys helping people. She was great at loosening my hips and glutes and was very knowledgeable about how all the muscles affect one another. The prices for her packages are very reasonable as well. I never thought I would be the type of person to treat myself to a massage every few weeks but because Roxy is so great and the prices aren't extreme I consider it more of a necessary health/wellness benefit than a one time pampering experience. read more

Great massage with Julie Amriti Duffy. She has a very nice demeanor and seems to know her massage. I enjoyed that she spent a good amount of time on head, feet, and hands as well as whole body. I will go back to try her unique deep tissue approach. read more

I've had several massage sessions with Julie, and I absolutely loved them! She is very attentive to her client's needs. Her strong hands penetrate deeply into sore muscles and find tough knots. At the same time her touch is very gentle. I feel relaxed during the sessions and the whole day afterwords. I highly recommend Julie's massage. read more

Really good experience with my massage here. Julie is the best! She is attentive. She got to the problem in my back but was gentle about it. Relaxing session. Felt so much better after. read more

The entire experience at Massage Sanctuary is something to look forward to. I get transported to a warm nurturing world. One of these cold snowy days I even asked if I could come early to sit in their warm, peaceful world. I'm fortunate to go every week and honestly feel more and more healthy in ways I didn't even know I needed! I hope everyone can experience the caring there! read more

Julie Duffy is an extraordinary person and massage therapist. Each and every time I feel so well cared for.... body, mind and spirit.

And her interest in energy healing, nutrition and yoga make her well suited to care for others.
