I would give my massage and Laura Lyons a five out of five stars. It was my first massage and not…read moremy last. Laura is professional, kind, passionate about her job and she truly cares about her clients. The room was peaceful, clean and the ambiance was just right. Laura was welcoming and calmed my nervous with ease. She listened to me when I told her what my body needed as well as she was a listening ear for me to vent to, she made me feel important and her kindness meant a lot to me. She targeted my problem areas (my neck and back) throughly and massaged places that I didnt even realize needed attention. Every effort was taken to ensure my comfort and I was extremely satisfied with my massage. As a single mother of 2 I needed some time all about me and Laura made sure to make it all about me. My time felt personalized- she let me choose what oil I liked best, had me pick a stone with my eyes closed that said "success" and ended my massage with a much needed inspirational message from a book. I would recommend her to everyone I know, especially mom's who need time to relax and destress. I left happy, I smelled and felt great, my body felt brand new and I was ready to tackle another hectic day. I hadn't felt that good in a long time. I can't wait to go back to Laura and get another fantastic massage!

Scheduled almost a week in advance and was not given the courtesy of a phone call to notify me of a…read moreVERY last minute cancellation. I planned my whole day and other important commitments around this appointment. I drove quite a ways to get there as well, making sure I arrived early as it was my first time, as a courtesy to them. Something told me to check my email while parked inside my car, that's when I saw the email. When I called the office from outside to see if the appointment had in fact been cancelled, the very dismissive, British sounding secretary telling me it wasn't HER responsibility to notify me. I didn't even get the courtesy of a call afterwards to provide an apology or explanation. I was only told the therapist had an emergency 15 minutes before my appointment time. How unprofessional of ALEXIS BOSTON and the receptionist.

Every session was a bit different based on training and areas that were acting up - my feedback kicked off her search for the root of the issue. Rest assured, she will find that persistent knot buried in your legs and attack it, leaving you with one less aspect of training to worry about. It was clear during my first visit that she draws on a great deal of experience treating athletes at many levels, involved in many different activities, and with a variety of issues.

The hour massage by Tai was the best I have ever had. She addressed my painful areas without causing me more pain and I have never felt this relaxed. The setting of her business is beautiful and private. Only problem was my GPS did not bring me to her street but when I called her she picked up immediately and told me I was only a block away and directed me to her long driveway. This is a great escape for the weary traveler.

I visited Massage Sanctuary for the first time recently. I was overdue for some body work, and…read moresuffering 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

I met Melissa DelRossi in the Spring of 2016 after surgery from a left foot talonavicular joint…read morefusion. It was a very difficult recovery and Melissa was so helpful getting me back to my normal activities that I sought her out again when I had a right shoulder rotator cuff tear and subsequent surgery in July 2017. PT Associates is out of network for me, but I knew that with the difficult road ahead (this was an unfortunate injury), I had to have Melissa as my physical therapist again. She is experienced, patient, perceptive, thoughtful and has a soothing calmness that made me comfortable. I had some problems, including frozen shoulder, so my recovery was long and painful. Melissa was always encouraging, but balanced in what my expectations should be and she was firm when she needed me to curb my activities. I am also impressed by her knowledge and ability to find innovative ways to help me move forward when I hit plateaus. I had my last appointment with Melissa today and am so grateful for her dedication to her patients. In closing, I would also like to mention that the entire staff at PT Associates was great. Chris was enormously helpful in so many ways. The office is quiet, clean, and welcoming.

She was instrumental in decreasing my pain and swelling, advising me on next steps, and finding the right surgeon to reattach my hamstrings. After surgery I continued with PTAoC and worked with Melissa for nearly a year. Her positivity and good judgment saw me through small gains like fully straightening my leg and sitting upright to bigger ones like walking, stair climbing, and ultimately, exercise again. Her sense of humor and ability to connect could distract me from discomfort or focus me on exercise when each were needed. When my patience wore thin and I thought I would never be well again, Melissa reminded me with a calm and quiet confidence not to rush my healing or compare myself to others, but to do my best achieving my own goals. She never offered false hope about a quick recovery, but pointed out, time and again, how it was making me a better trainer. A year out from surgery I can say that it has, and every day I find opportunities to pay forward to my own clients the good lessons I learned in her care.
