Shawn is a miracle worker...plain and simple! I walked into Shawn's office a couple of months ago…read morehunched over, holding my back, and barely able to walk as a result of a herniated disc. I was referred to Shawn through my boss who had seen me have EXTREME pain for several months. Prior to seeing Shawn, I had tried everything to alleviate my pain...an orthopedic doctor, a chiropractor, physical therapy and even an accupuncturist. Nothing came close to helping. I was skeptical but was assured that he worked wonders on my boss when she had a similar back issue. When I walked into Shawn's office, I was welcomed and the environment was pleasant. I explained to Shawn what was going on with my body and where it hurt the most. As soon as he began the massage, he knew the exact places to work on. The massage itself was relaxing and Shawn was very personable. At the end of my massage, I experienced something pretty extraordinary. My pain was reduced by 75% which nothing had been able to do---even pain medication. I went back a week later and the pain went down even more to where I am now 98% pain free! I attribute the pain reduction to Shawn's massages. I am not easily impressed but when it comes to Shawn, I can not say enough good things. He gave me a normal life back when I thought I would be stuck in agony... Shawn gets my highest recoomendation!

After a long, stressful day at work, I happily (oh yes, with good reason) jumped on the Red Line to…read moretwo stops to Lawrence because I was going to get me a massage!! Andrew ("Andy") is an easy-going, friendly guy who enjoys theater and rowing part-time but gives massages as his main form of income. Andy will come to your own home or you can take a visit to his cluttered yet quaint studio apartment to treat yourself to a Deep Tissue, Neuromuscular, Reflexology, or Event Sports Massage. If you really want to be spoiled, you can get a Dead Sea Mud Wrap or Body Scrub done. After I received a deep tissue massage from this friend of a friend, I am pleased to advertise his work on Yelp and through day-to-day conversation. His prices are very reasonable and you can get yourself an additional $10 discount now if you 1) mention Yelp or 2) answer his trivia website question correctly (on his old website). He also offers a sliding scale price for those who are artists, teachers or not-for-profit employees. Hell yes! Shoot him an email to make your appointment today and he'll respond to you promptly.

I had an in-cal massage at his home last week and it was great. First massages are usually (and should be) somewhat evaluative for both involved. Andy did a good job of balancing a moderate amount of pressure and not over-doing it. The resulting euphoria left me feeling great... although my 23mph drive home probably annoyed everyone behind me. He was pleasant to talk with and projects the professional attitude one would expect from a massage therapist dedicated to his craft.

She took so much tension out of me that I will probably live 1 year longer now. Try this foot massage. I cannot think of a better use for $20.00

As a healer I feel the need to share my personal experience, thoughts and genuine concerns with my…read more"massage" last week with Ron. Technically and mechanically he knew how to work on my knots. I have a chronic illness, fibromyalgia and last weekend I overdid it. I saw way too many clients last week on Saturday and carried a huge bag of cat litter around doing errands and twisted my left lower back. I was in extreme pain and very stiff. I Google searched therapists near me and sent a message to Ron on Sunday morning. Ron was extremely responsive and squeezed me in for Sunday evening. He seemed awesome! I was so grateful he could fit me in because I had work Sunday afternoon and I was in so much pain. Now for the not so nice stuff! In all my years when I visited authentic healers they were kind enough to say words that empowered me. A true psychic doesn't disempower you. When I arrived at Ron's medical office he started talking about himself and HIS JOURNEY. His journey with his twin flame, how he got into massage therapy himself and his classes in past life regression which he still hasn't fully completed. Here i am in deep pain listening to Ron yacking incessantly about himself and how and why he got into healing. I was listening politely and then FINALLY he instructed me to undress and he left the room till I hit the buzzer. It was incredibly hard for me to zone out after listening to all his "stories" so I mentioned how I was devastated because I lost some heirloom rings from my deceased mother and some antiques and clothes at a public storage facility in Brighton, Massachusetts because a representative working there gave me an incorrect auction date. His cold blooded response was that I was late with my payment, it was just business and all my fault. He said I incurred bad karma by writing reviews to warn others when they have a long history of doing this to other customers. Ron said all my chakras were blocked because he felt extreme heat except for my root chakra which is cold That's extremely false! When heat rises in the body it means you're going through a Kundalini rising and any area of cold in the body is an area that is blocked. Many authentic healers tell me my issue is mainly my root chakra not my heart. Could be Ron was projecting his blocks onto me? Anyway then we start talking about Spirit guides and I've been told by psychic practitioners one of my Spirit Guides is Native American, which totally resonates with my inner intuition. Right away he pipes up that it might be from another planet aka extraterrestrial influence because I said people saw feathers around my guide. So basically he tried to let me feel like I personally don't have any gifts and don't know for a fact what I'm talking about. I mentioned ancient Egypt because he brought up past experiences with clients who said their daughter was a priestess. Meanwhile I took classes in DNA activation in Boulder, Colorado years ago and had visions of the Goddess Isis...and other genuine psychics saw wings around me during the activation. I'm so stunned that Ron was trying to argue and contradict my profound experiences as if he is all knowing and all seeing and I couldn't possibly be psychic or correct. I felt like the session I paid for was all about him. In summary he said very negative things to my body and my Spirit while working on me. He said all my chakras are BLOCKED AND honestly if that were true I'd be dead 2nd thing that goes wrong is instead of simply working on my muscles immediately he forced me to spend 40 minutes listening to his stories. So my mind was already overactive and I couldn't relax especially when he's using way too much pressure on certain areas. At the end of the session he complains i talk too much when he's the one that was talking about his life journey and his twin flame. After the session he turns on a light so I have to study a painting in his office and be quizzed about the meaning! I also waited outside in the cold 4 my uber instead of his waiting room incredible! Ron definitely doesn't understand how words affect people. I felt very disempowered after all the negativity that was dumped on me. I'm leaving three stars instead of two because I do have empathy and don't wish harm on others but to be honest with you a genuine psychic healer shares positive thoughts with you and gives you helpful advice not harmful and toxic admonitions. Ron needs to focus less on himself and more on just letting his clients relax and be still in the moment. Because of his overzealous conversation preceding my massage my brain was unable to shut down.

As a woman it is kind of nerve…read morewracking to have a strange man come to my home and touch me, but Aaron came so highly recommended that I gave it a try. He was sweet and easy-going on the phone and in person. And so very respectful and professional! No worries with this guy. He doesn't peek, and keeps all the private parts well concealed under sheets throughout. But most importantly he is great at what he does and he truly cares about his clients. If you NEED a massage like I often do, he's the guy to call. He does deep tissue massage and reflexology. His fingers will find your problem spots and dig right in. And it feels oh so good! I have used his services several times now and I have found myself getting so relaxed that I drool and drift into sleep. My back problems have considerably improved after every massage. I have trouble with my shoulder area from sitting at a computer all day. I emerge flexible and pain free! He only charges $60 an hour! For house calls! And I don't know how it works for others, but he's stayed a little longer than an hour when I really needed the work done and then refused to take any more that the hour fee! I of course made him take a large tip... Skilled, modest, respectful... in short, my favorite massage therapist. For a safe, professional, serene massage experience in the privacy of your own home or office, I would not hesitate to call Angel Hands.
