I didn't know what to expect when I buzzed the doorbell at a condo in Cambridgeport, and was greeted by Mary, following her up a shabby stairwell. 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. read more

Once I walked into the orange room, I immediately felt great. Aside from my favorite color, it just gets those vital juices going. Mary is awesome - and I really like the way she took the time to get to know me. We chatted about lots of different things - friends, family, life - all while she diligently worked to undo the painful knots in my shoulders. The true testament is the range of motion I have going in (can't turn my head from side to side), and the range of motion I have walking out (spins around 360!!!) read more

I specially reactivated my account for this review. But the question is why? and the answer follows: - I had back problems, it was really stiff and full of knots. And it was painful even to twist a little, but things changed today. I went there with an open mind reading other reviews, and boy they were right, it'just amazing. I feel so much better, would say that now I feel like I never had any problems. - Conversations: We had awesome conversations, and as we had different backgrounds it made our conversations more interesting. The best part is its so easy to talk to her, and believe me you will not get bored. - One thing you should consider, its a like you are doing yoga but someone is forcing you to stretch more, so don't think that it's like other places, as here the effects would stay but you have to earn it or should I say she does the hard work but be ready for some serious stretching. read more

I haven't had too much experience with Thai Massage, to be honest. But I have had a lot of experience with massages of various types and physical therapy for my many bodily issues/needs. Mary's method of using precise gravity, my body, her body, etc really unlocks trapped energy in my muscles and ligaments that I have not been able to achieve with other forms of massage/therapy. I literally RUN to her when I need my back cracked, or to be forcefully stretched, massaged, or otherwise "healed". She is very capable at what she does, has studied with many important teachers of this practice, both here and abroad, and is very communicative while working on you. I highly recommend her work if you have not had Thai Massage before; even if you have, I bet you haven't had it like Thai Therapy by Mary. read more

I was having ongoing lower back pain issues to the point where I needed to spend part of my workday standing because sitting all day was too painful. On a friend's recommendation, I tried Thai massage to ease my back pain and I am SO glad that I did. Mary was wonderful - she took the time to understand what was going with my back and what I was looking to get out of Thai Massage. She engaged my body in a series of stretches; the experience is quite much more like partner yoga than traditional massage. She is clearly passionate about her work and cares a lot about her clients, and this comes through in her practice. I have had little to no pain since my Thai massage experience. Should the pain return, the first thing I would do is call Mary to have her work on me. I highly recommend Mary as a Thai massage therapist. read more

Mary is so great at what she does (and is a generally wonderful person) that I went to great lengths to figure out how to reactivate my yelp account so I can write her review. I'm a life long athlete turned law school student so this means I'm now hunched over at a desk staring at small print while my back/neck/hamstrings tighten. Mary is great! I didn't really know what thai therapy was before - I had read a little bit about it. it is AMAZING. I like all massages but I like that this is not stationary - you're moving around more (well, Mary is moving you around and luckily for me I'm small so she can move me so easily!). Plus, Mary is cool and interesting and tells funny stories. I'd highly recommend her! When i win the lottery, I will go to her every day. read more

Zomg. Unicorn: found!! I've had to get my Thai massage out in the West Coast lacking solid experiences with practitioners on the East Coast of the U.S. That is until I happened upon phenomenally well reviewed Mary here. While I suspect Mary is the sort of mindful practitioner who makes a concentrated effort to develop a good rapport of with visitors to her studio she does so with seeming ease. She has a similar ease with her massage practice. She's almost certainly a quick & sharp study of Thai massage, putting my muscles at ease and making a comfortable home to my soul of my body. Anyone missing Thai massage should make an appointment ASAP. I will definitely return as soon as I can. read more

Mary was awesome !! She has the magic touch for sure I felt super limber and refreshed after I would defiantly recommend Mary !!

I've had a lot of massages, this was totally different. This was like an investment in my muscles. Typically massages just feel great while they are going on and you feel relaxed after. This is more like rehab for sore/torn muscles. Pretty sure I'll feel great for days. Highly recommend. She is also very laid back and friendly too. read more

This was my first Thai massage, and I wasn't sure what to expect but I'm really glad that I tried it in lieu of the run of the mill sports or Swedish massage. Mary has a very warm persona and you immediately feel comfortable in her presence; The space in Cambridge has a relaxing ambiance and is very conducive to giving yourself over to the experience. There are a lot of little thoughtful touches throughout that are very appreciated, like the refreshing ginger infused water that Mary provides at the end. What I really liked about the session is how movement and stretching seemed to be integral, whereas in other experiences I've had, it seems to only be an afterthought. The end result is you get up from the session feeling incredibly limber and very rejuvenated. I would highly recommend Mary - looking forward to seeing her soon to be new space in Somerville / Union Square! A+, would Thai session again. read more

Mary is a rarity. She is well practiced, constantly furthering her education, and is naturally skilled at her Thai massage. Not only am I pleased with her work, I am confident that, based on her devotion to massage, she will continue to improve. For those of you whom haven't tried Thai massage, its time to. You certainly won't regret it. read more

Mary is very talented and strong!!! After my massage, my body felt so open and in alignment. She was timely and professional, and she even checked in with me a few weeks later just to ask about an injury I have. I respect so much that she works on a sliding scale. She truly seems to want to help people regardless of what they can pay. I highly recommend a massage with her!! Added bonus: she has a tiny, sweet little dog that sits in the corner :) read more

Mary is amazing at what she does! Her sliding scale pricing is incredibly reasonable and fair and her massages are fantastic. Two big thumbs up! read more

I found myself lapsing on my yoga practice and lifting my heaviest. Then my back started tightening up and aching all the time. I reached out to Mary and she got me jump started back down the path to a happy back. Thanks Mary!! read more

Mary was amazing!!! I had a lot of tension in my back, but after the session I felt very relaxed and reliefed in my back, especially the lower back. Which gave me a refeesh feeling!! read more

I can't say enough good things about the massage I received from Mary. She has an exceptional intuition about exactly what my body needed. She is, hands down, the best massage therapist I have ever had the pleasure of working on me. I am currently going through rehabilitation from an injury to my shoulder, which has caused a whole lot of tension in my upper back. In addition, I am an athlete, breakdancer, juggler, and acrobat who has experienced every kind of muscle soreness one could imagine... and just as many massages to try to address said injuries. A Thai massage from Mary was just the thing I needed to start moving naturally again. She has an exceptional intuition about exactly what my body needed. I felt like I traded my body in for a fresh new one! read more

This didn't work out for me. Though her technique was adequate, I felt uncomfortable with the conversation and her attitude.

I have only had the traditional massage, scented candles, mood music, quiet, the room, set up, a massage table, loads of herbal oils rubbed in my kneaded flesh, felt like a basted turkey. Different experience than I had with Mary. I was not just some meat on a table but part of her massage. Like exercise but she did the work. It was a different massage than I had experienced in the past. I was given a gift certificate to Thai Massage, by my family in Boston, it was most definitely new experience. I had heard great things about Mary and as I am on my feet much of the day was told her foot massage exceptional, and that is the area most sensitive in my body. Mary is unique to say the least and very comforting, a calm presence in a stormy world. My feet still feel great and renewed. and I am still feeling better, and it is days later. Her studio a little unusual, but in a lovely Cambridge neighborhood. Her tiny dog, sat still the whole time looking like a little Spinx. I look forward to my next trip to Boston and she is on my schedule. read more

A hidden gem. I was really delighted to find a Thai massage practitioner in metro Boston. I have had a lot of Thai massage in my travels, Mary is hands down the best. She is strong, focused and attentive ... carefully stretching you just that tiny bit more. It's a real treat for anyone that wants to experience the best in Thai massage. read more
