I had an appointment with Cambria and thought it a good idea to send a confirming email since I…read morehadn't heard from her. One hour before the session she emailed me to say that she's taking the morning off for personal reasons. I was fortunate to see it before leaving the house. I wrote back to reschedule and never heard back from her. I can only assume that she doesn't care or need more clients. I have been in a lot of pain and was looking forward to a healing massage. Instead she let me know that she couldn't be bothered to reschedule an appointment that she canceled at the last minute. I'm so disappointed and hope to find another practitioner who gives consideration to their client communication. :(

Cambria is the best body worker, body guide, body mechanic ... pick your term ... who I've had the…read morepleasure of working with over my 25 year effort to help my body move more freely, strongly, and gracefully. She's also a delightful person to know and learn from her life full of learning. I came to her after I damaged shoulder through Muay Thai and surfing. For four months, I had gone to a chain of experts (the US Tennis team's Orthopedic Surgeon among them) who did their best, but were unable to get to the root cause issue -- that key parts of my body were unintegrated. On our first visit when she explained what she saw and it literally all clicked. I felt in my body what she described. And then we got to work. After 3 months working together, I've been able to lift weights for the last six weeks and go for long road cycling sessions. She's brought that joy back into my movement. Commit to your work with Cambria and you'll be rewarded.

Just stop your search and book with Joanna at The Well Bodyworks. Seriously…read more I've been a client of Joanna's for years (and have been too lazy to review), and she's simply the best massage therapist you can find. Every session is a little different because she actually listens and tailors everything to what you need that day. She's super professional, always on time, and knows exactly what she's doing--but also manages to make you feel totally comfortable the minute you walk in. She's incredibly skilled and intuitive (somehow always finds the exact right spot), but she's also just a great human--warm, kind, and easy to talk to (or not if you're the silent type). Her energy is calm and grounding, and the whole experience reflects that. She remembers details, checks in, and just makes you sure the treatment is right for you. If you want someone who's great at what they do and genuinely cares, Joanna's the one.

Her voice alone was calming and encouraged me to relax. The salon itself was clean and minimalistic and the ladies were like family. Before the massage, Tanisha had me fill out a form where I would write my limitations, pains, and discomforts and she sat down and we talked about everything in detail. The massage itself was warm and exactly what anyone with chronic joint pain needs. I will be back to support Tanisha and will recommend her to anyone looking for a great massage in Brooklyn.

I had a Swedish massage and she really spent a lot of time working on and released all the knots and tension in my body! I felt like I left there with a different body! I didn't realize how tense I was before the massage! Wow!!! She has a very caring, soothing and nurturing way about her and checked in with me during the massage to make certain her pressure and technique was comfortable for me. I loved her use of essential oils during my massage! I will definitely return for another massage! Treat yourself and make an appointment - you will thank yourself for it!

Sarah has been enormously helpful to me addressing both issues. Her massages are some of the most thoughtful I have ever received; she really understands the body. She always has stretches and recommendations for different kinds of movement when she thinks it would be useful. She is constantly learning new methods and integrating new knowledge into her work! On top of all of this skill, she just has a warm, reassuring, gentle presence and her space is lovely and relaxing. I always leave with an enormous sense of well being. I have also recommended her to various pregnant clients, all of whom have loved their experiences. In more than one instance, she has released tension in the body that then resulted in a more optimal fetal position I could notice the next day as a provider! In sum, Sarah is everything you could possibly want in a massage therapist. I highly recommend her.

Having work done by Sarah is akin to a gentle and effective Rolfing session combined with a Swedish massage. Her manipulations of the body are deceptively simple and have a profound impact to over all wellbeing. Due to my schedule I've lapsed in my weekly visits the last three weeks and I've immediately booked another session to continue the trajectory my body was on when I started working with Sarah - to be able to move effortlessly and without pain. My back pain has improved immensely and I look forward to my sessions with her. She really has an overall holistic approach to healing and as a fellow mama, it's just so great to have another mom understand the physical demands of birth and child rearing. Thank you, sarah!

Did I mention the massage?!! OMG like butter. If you have pain from hunching over a computer all day, this is the place to go. Even with health insurance, when faced with the choice of paying a copay/deductible for some fancypants in Manhattan, I'd rather spend my money at Fusion.

She used a combo of techniques and moves so that I ended up getting a fantastic 90 minute amalgamation of swedish-shiatsu-hot stone-aromatherapy goodness.
