Sarah provides an excellent massage! She is warm and welcoming in her demeanor and maintains a very clean and comfortable space for clients. Without hesitation, I recommend her highly. read more

What can I say about Sarah at Shanti Bodywork that hasn't been already said? She's the definition of professionalism and skill when it comes to her craft. From the minute I walked into her room, to the second I walked out, I was treated with the utmost respect and care. I was slightly nervous, having never received a massage before, however it was an amazing experience (and one I waited far too long for)! With Sarah, I was completely relaxed and she tackled all of my recent ailments. I left there with a huge smile, and still a day later it remains. One fabulous 60 minute massage has turned me into a believer in the power of massage AND a repeat customer! Thanks again, Sarah. read more

My first time having reflexology done and my feet were smiling when Sarah was done with them. I plan on going to Sarah on a regular basis ... will easily become a habit. A good one! I highly recommend all of my friends and family to go to Sarah for a really good message or reflexology service. They'll never regret it. read more

I never saw the value in getting regular message. Yes, I had enjoyed an occasional massage but nothing outstanding. . Until I developed a troublesome neck , and met Sarah of Shanti Bodywork! She has been a key person in giving me back the mobility in my neck. Aside from being so sweet , and kind, she is a terrific massage therapist!. I now see her regularly! I don't know what I would do without her! (probably look straight ahead) Thanks Sarah! Laurie C. read more

This place is great and Sarah is very knowledgeable. I literally sat in my car for ten minutes to snap out of the relaxed coma I was in . Truly amazing read more

Sarah is great! Extremely friendly and makes you feel at ease right away. She was able to get my mother and me in with less than 24 hours notice. She even recommended some great places for us to check out while we were in town. I only wish that I could have gotten another massage before we left!! read more

Go to her. Seriously. I have seen Sarah twice now, and both times have been amazing. I had a massage last night and thank goodness it was last night! Yesterday was a very stressful day and I was looking forward to going to Sarah ALL day. Finally 6:15 came and I have never been happier. My constant shoulder aches melted away thanks to Sarah. She really dug in there and got rid of my terrible pain. I highly recommend her - and not to mention we had a great time chatting during my session! read more

You will not find a better massage expert than Sarah of Shanti Bodywork. Her skills are spectacular, her personality sparkles, she will find areas of tension you didn't even know were there and put them to rights spectacularly. I began going to her based on her excellent reviews and reasonable prices, and honestly don't know how I ever managed without her before. I didn't even realize how much stress I was carrying and how negatively it was affecting me until she seemingly took me apart and put me back together correctly. Massage and reflexology with her are worth every penny and give me something great to look forward to. If you're looking for relaxation or healing, please don't hesitate to go to her! read more

I love going to Sarah! She truly cares about you and your well being, and always has the knack of finding exactly what's hurting or in need of extra attention and making it better. She's chatty if you want to chat, and lets you relax if you're not in the mood. I only hesitate recommending her because she's a gem and I selfishly want her available all the time! :) read more

I am one of those odd people who really does not like getting a massage. Because I have fibromyalgia, I find even very gentle massage to be unbearably painful. Though I've had many massages of many varieties over the years, I can count on one hand the massages that have actually felt good and/or helpful. Meeting Sarah has therefore been a delight because I actually enjoy getting massage from her. She's a lovely person with great energy, and she listens carefully. The first time I went to see her, I had some serious pain in my shoulders, arms, and hands (knitting injury!). After one session, I felt tons better. Now I see Sarah regularly, and it's so great to have finally found a massage therapist that I trust. She's a gem! read more

Highly recommend! I recently moved to the area and was looking for therapeutic massage for my chronic shoulder pain from yoga and computer work. The night after my massage was the first time in a year that I was actually able to fall asleep on my side. Sarah is lovely, warm and welcoming. I scheduled 2 additional appointments on my way out. So fortunate to have found her! A true gem! read more

If you are living in Salem Massachusetts or anywhere in the area or are just passing through and would like the best massage of your life , go see Sarah at Shanti Bodywork. she is amazing!!!! Sweet as can be and the best at what she does. So relaxing. Just what I needed. Thanks Sarah! read more

I am a regular massage and reflexology client at Shanti Bodywork. I try to schedule a massage at least every other week because it has been very beneficial to my physical and mental health. Sarah, Shanti Bodywork's owner, is an extraordinary massage therapist and business owner, and I highly recommend this business. I have regular massages because I put my body through a lot of strain and stress daily. I sit for long periods of time on my commute to work and at my desk job. The sitting that I do, combined with a rigorous workout routine (cycling, running and lifting weights) and the stresses of daily life leave my muscles tight and aching. Having a regular massage relieves my muscle tension, addresses any aches and pains that I am experiencing and leaves me feeling calm and relaxed. Sarah tailors each massage to what my body requires and is extraordinary at balancing my desire for a relaxing massage with my need for a sports massage. My health and athletic performance has benefitted tremendously from regular massage. Shanti Bodywork is also a place where I can relax my mind. Every detail is considered to create a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. The space is gorgeous. It is beautifully decorated and meticulously clean. The background music is soft and soothing. Every detail is considered with the client in mind. I love going there to relax my mind and body and unwind from a very busy and active life. Lastly, Shanti Bodywork is so easy to do business with. They offer online scheduling with appointments 7 days a week and at varying hours. Shanti Bodywork accepts credit cards, has reasonable prices, offers multiple visit package deals and has great specials from time to time. They also sell gift certificates. The office is conveniently located in the Cummings Center in Beverly which has lots of parking. On top of all of this, Shanti Bodywork is a generous member of the local community, supporting various charitable events. I highly recommend Sarah and Shanti Bodywork. I read more

After meeting Sarah at Roost/Beehive's holiday party, I booked a reflexology session with her, having never had one before and deciding to try something new. My normally high stress levels were diminished and my feet feel like they are brand new. My mom always said, "if your feet are happy, you are happy". I am very happy. read more

I have been to Sarah a couple of times most recently for a session that included a neck and shoulder massage and an hour of reflexology including hands, feet, and ears. This is a real massage not the spa variety. Sarah is a real professional. She listens to what you are looking for and then shapes the session accordingly. This was my first experience with reflexology but will not be my last! I left feeling like a new person and the sense of relief has lingered for several days even in the face of a very challenging life read more

Sarah is wonderful, I've been to her several times in the past year and a bit, and she's very intuitive, and while she asks questions about what's going on with my body, I think she just does that to be polite, as she can intuit what's going on herself, and very quickly. She is very sympathetic, and friendly. I shopped around, so to speak, when I moved to Salem a few years ago, for a massage therapist, and I'm very happy to have found Sarah! read more

The best massage ever! Sara is very attuned to your needs, very professional and a knowledgable masseuse. Would highly recommend. Also, her space is peaceful, calm and welcoming. read more

After much research for the top prenatal massage therapist, I came across Sarah. I'm 30 weeks pregnant and have been VERY uncomfortable, desperately needing a great massage from a skilled therapist. I had back surgery a year and a half ago so when I start to feel any kind of back pain I get very nervous! Let me tell you, within minutes of standing up after my appointment I feel like I'm gliding around on a cloud, pain free! Sarah is a master of her art, a pleasure to talk to and an overall genuinely kind person who just wants to help people through her work. I'm so happy to have found my new massage therapist who's local and has pricing that won't break the bank! read more

I'm pretty picky about massage therapists. I've been to a lot of them on the North Shore - once. When I found Sarah, my search was finally over. She is a real gem; not only a very skilled, intelligent and professional LMT who always seems very tuned-in to what's going on with my body, but also such a nurturing soul (with a great sense of humor, besides). Even before the massage begins, I feel more relaxed just being in her office. One other reviewer described her as having a "good energy", and I think that captures it well. read more

Sarah is amaaaazing! Not only is she sweet and caring but very flexible and thoughtful. I started going to her for prenatal massages. I loved each one and couldn't wait for the next. My baby came 19 days early and she was very understanding about me canceling my next appointment and said I can reschedule it any time when I was comfortable to do so and that she wanted to meet him soon as well :) . During this time I also bought an infant massage session. I emailed her to set up the appointment thinking I had to drag all this stuff over to her, but no, she offered to come to our home if it was more convenient for me. Ummm of course!!! What new mom would want to schlep over to an office for an infant massage (even though it is beneficial to baby). She arrived on the dot and brought with her oil and handouts for me to keep and use. It was a fun session and I learned a few things as we practiced on the baby. I had fun. I'm obviously going to keep seeing Sarah and hopefully I'll get to have my next massage as soon as this little guy starts "behaving" a little more :) Thank you Sarah! read more
