He's amazing at what he does!!! He's very knowledgeable, his knowledge of the nerves and muscles and spinal Column anatomy is impressive! He's not an average massage therapist, he's extremely gifted! Massage therapy is not a "one size, fits all T-shirt", it needs to be customized to the patient's problems and needs. I highly recommend Steve, specially if you have pain or a specific problem. He also gives the best soothing overall massage to relax you.

First off, any business that gives back to the community is AOK by me. Michael worked with me via email and text to find a good time. The studio is clean and relaxing.

The atmosphere was great. I would definitely go back.

I discovered Bodyography in 2018 when I had a problem with my right shoulder locking up. With…read moreMargaret's use of deep tissue massage, myofascial release therapy, and cupping that problem was resolved. I then decided to incorporate a monthly massage into my health care routine. In 2025, Margaret moved away and I had to choose another therapist. Everyone there is great but, I choose Kate Mulligan because of her scheduled hours, and I feel like I won the lottery. She is such a Zen person. She has a positive energy, and her messages are so relaxing that I have fallen asleep during a massage. When she finds a tight spot, she works it out until it is loose. When I leave my body and spirit is in a deep state of relaxation. Kate is the best. Shirley A.

I'm very happy to share a review of Bodyography! I've been dying to get a massage - literally told…read moremy masseuse, Michelle, that I was in DIRE NEED of a massage. I sit all day for work and my back has been all sorts of messed up. I had actually never heard of Bodyography until my mom got me a gift card for Christmas, she found the center on Yelp. Booking was simple on their website, you just choose your service and it shows you by day which times are available. Enter your info and voila! I chose a 90 minute massage which might sound excessive but I'm so glad I went with the 90 minute and not 30 or 60. Michelle did an amazing job on a full body massage, with extra attention to my aching back. She was very good about checking in with me to make sure that the pressure was ok. And she gave a fantastic food massage with peppermint lemon lotion too! They use coconut oil which is great for the skin. I came out of the room on cloud nine, and it was very hard to go back to work for the afternoon! I highly recommend Bodyography and am so glad that I gave them a try!

The service was excellent from start to finish. Everything felt very relaxing, professional, and thoughtfully done. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, exactly what you need to fully unwind. As a lovely New Year's surprise, they even gave me a bottle of wine at the end, wishing me a Happy New Year -- such a thoughtful and kind gesture that made the experience even more special. I highly recommend this place if you're in Boston or just passing through and need to relax and recharge. I will definitely be back!

The massage itself was fairly standard, but the process around it ruined the whole experience…read more I got my mom a massage as a gift and called a week earlier to make the appt. I was asked to pay via venmo at time of booking which I did immediately and even texted the confirmation of payment to the phone number provided. They told me that the payment was received as I was all set. On the day of the message though, as my mom was leaving the office they stopped her and asked her to pay. She told them that her daughters had already paid, but was treated like a complete criminal. The front desk person just kept yelling at her to pay. She called me and I had to send the front desk person screenshots proving that I had indeed paid. In my payment I had even explicitely included a note on my mom's name and the time and date of the appointment so there should have been absolutely no confusion. The worst thing was that once they were assured that we had paid they were still incredibly rude about it, not even appologizing for the mistake. It was such a bad experience for my mom. I also don't see how they were so "confused" about us having paid, when you can't actually even book an appointment without payment. Now mistakes do happen and this could be a one off bad experience. Except that my sister's husband also got her a message as a gift and she had the same exact issue. As she was walking out they cornered her and kept telling her the message wasn't paid for. Her husband had to call and basically run his whole bank statement by them as proof. So we had two bad experiences here within the span of one week. I think that they use this kind of tactic to confuse customers and get anyone who is maybe too embarassed or not willing to stand there and argue with them to pay twice. The massage is **absolutely not worth** the completely inefficient payment system and the utter lack of customer service and accountability when mistakes are made.

Shaylynn is a fantastic massage therapist. I originally came in with pain in my spine that was…read moreradiating to my shoulder blade and back muscles that were fairly locked up. Shaylynn's technique provided immediate and (more importantly) lasting relief to my pain. She has very strong hands and always uses the perfect balance of pressure to really work the tissues without making it too painful or leaving you bruised (I've sadly had both from other local therapists). I returned every two weeks and the 1-2 days after my appointment were always the most pain-free. In combination with physical therapy exercises, which were not doing it alone, Shaylynn's treatments have made a huge difference in getting my back to a good place and returning my range of motion. Absolutely top notch for therapeutic massage, you will not be disappointed.

If you're looking for someone who is truly exceptional at what she does, I can't recommend her highly enough. Ella is a 10/10/10 across the board

Having traveled a long flight and a previous fall, my upper back was tense, hurting and just in need of care. Well I will say, I GOT CARE FROM SHAWNA and she was a dream come true!!
