Mara was amazing - beyond amazing. I have been looking for years for someone to do the kind of deep tissue work that works on moving my body forward - healing it. (I had someone years ago and she moved away.). I am so thankful I finally found someone - Mara - who really looks/feels/understands how to see/feel what my body needs. Specifically, and at my request, Mara worked mostly on my calves (I have had chronic calf pain for years) and glutes (recent problems) and two days later, I truly feel like this is the first step toward true recovery. I cannot wait to go back to continue this work with her. (Also, it's really hard to find someone who can give a lot of pressure - and Mara can - in a slow, steady movement. It was truly amazing .) Lastly, she is the loveliest person and made me feel completely comfortable discussing some of my random (and personal) health issues! Thank you, Mara! I will be seeing you soon and so will my partner - I came home raving! read more

Awesome healing hands, spacious treatment room and straightforward booking process. Easy to pay and fantastic relief from pain and inflammation. Thank you!!!! read more

Mara is amazing! I've gotten different massages around the world including far east Asia and Bali and Mara is one of the top 5 therapists. She has a natural and intuitive sense to work thru your body. She truly has a magical touch. I can't wait for her to have her own practise/space. Currently she practices out of a room in a gym which can get a bit noisy. That was the only thing but the massage was so amazing that I could easily overlook that. FYI-I'm late writing this review as I had it back in March and can't wait to go back once restrictions are lifted. read more

Mara is a new practitioner with amazing skills. She is going to have a fantastic career, and provides profound, intuitive and high quality manual therapy. I'm excited to see where she goes and what she does and I'll be benefiting from her treatment regularly! For a new practitioner, she is really excellent. I recommend going to her soon before she raises her very competitive beginner rates and get in on the ground floor so you can enjoy and appreciate her for as long as possible! Just a word of caution - while Mara is kind and gentle, she is also looking for the strand that represents the core of the problem. She nibbles around the edges so beautifully prying it all apart with gentle rigor, but sometimes, it's with rigorous rigor and I have to ask her to be a little more patient once or twice, which she listens to with regret because she wants to solve the problem at it's core. Also, Mara uses oil but sparingly so that it not messy and she has a nice work space that is welcoming and pleasant, although there is a bit of noise sometimes which is OK since the work she's doing is for wellness and we can tolerate a little bit of autistic tramping above our heads, where there is a school for disabled individuals. read more

I can't say enough good things about Mara and her practice. I've had every manner of massage and physio treatment as a former D1 athlete, and she is easily one of the best. She's knowledgeable, effective, and personable. she's earned a new regular. read more

Mara is a miracle worker . I have seen her a few times now to help with my upper back which I injured working out . She does an amazing job . She really knows what she's doing and will have you totally rejuvenated after . She definitely sped up my recovery process and even offered some tips and suggestions so strengthen my muscle . I still continue to see Mara to have maintenance work done , or when I have a small flair up. She is warm , and kind and will make you feel absolutely relaxed . read more

Mara has been providing me with great massage therapy since I moved back into the area. Her knowledge of muscular anatomy really shows as she traces tension from symptom to cause. I was a regular until everything shut down; since carefully reopening, her safety-consciousness has made me feel completely comfortable. Thanks Mara! read more

I have had massage therapy done by several therapists over 20 years of bodywork, and I have no hesitancy in strongly recommending Mara at Marassage. I find that she is very attentive to what you say, effective in detecting the less obvious sources of issues you may have, she is appropriately measured in her treatment, and she is so caring as a person. read more

Had my first massage from Mara today - it was so different than any massage I'd ever received. Mara is so in tune and knowledgeable about how everything is connected and impacts what. I love how she checked in throughout and incorporated important stretches to help me. I already had my husband set up some time with her too. Can't wait for the next one! read more

Mara offers more than just a relaxing massage experience. She's incredibly skilled at massage therapy and determining exactly what your body needs. Seeing her over the past few years for a range of injuries/discomfort/general anxiety has helped me greatly and I feel tremendously better than before I started with her. read more

I've been seeing Mara for an hour session every week for two years now and I don't think I could function nearly as well without her. She just knows how to find all your knots and tangles and goes about working them out. Indispensable! My week is not my week without her great bodywork skills. She helps me connect to my body too, and then my mind gets integrated with my body more. It's like having a car where the steering wheel is not connected to the wheels and then she connects it for you! It's truly a body/mind treat. I can't say enough about her! read more

Mara is a super talented massage therapist. She was able to target all my tight spots, and left me feeling very loosened up and happy. I like that she is friendly and communicative, and really seems to want what is best for you. read more

Light as a feather. Solid as a rock. Just as her name implies, Mara Featherstone has a warm personality and a solid, healing touch. I had the pleasure of getting a 90 minute massage with Mara recently and am pleased to say that it was a delight. She has a cozy workspace and a soft, warm table. She listened to my needs and immediately made me feel at ease. I'm already looking forward to my next treatment :) read more

Mara is incredible - she's kind, intuitive, and very good at both listening to the issues you identify and offering suggestions as she notices other needs your body has. I first met with Mara because I was having back pain on a regular basis that was impacting my comfort in everyday life; since seeing Mara only twice, that pain has been significantly reduced and many days doesn't exist at all. She believes in wellness as a whole and understands how different parts of the body affect others. Mara is warm and up for a chat or for relaxing silence during your massage, depending on which you prefer. Her services are so far beyond a generic massage - everything is tailored to you because she cares about getting your body feeling its best. Can't recommend Mara highly enough, and will definitely be going back as regularly as I can! read more

First met Mara when she came by my co-working space and provided 15 mins chair massages. She was fantastic so I wanted to try the full experience. The studio is nice and next to a rowing gym. She's very knowledgeable and receptive to feedback. Highly recommend! read more

Fantastic massages! Deep tissue massage that doesn't hurt at all because she's so strategic and adept at working the muscles correctly. Mara was so receptive to exactly what was going on in my body and what I wanted help with. She took time to talk with me at the beginning to understand what is going on with me and my body and what I wanted to focus on, and then she got to work really focusing on those needs. It's not a general massage where the therapist has a set routine to just go over your whole body and do a relaxing massage (I'm sure she can do that too but I loved that she could focus on certain pains I was having)! Mara clearly knows so much about the body and muscles and how it all works together. She spent a lot of time in areas I didn't think were hurting at first but then I realize that by working on those areas she knew it would loosen up the actual problem. I was amazed. I already can't wait to have to go back! read more
