He has the strength to go deep and an expert knack of finding those knots and smoothing them out. I foam roll at the gym, but when I am extra sore or carrying added stress from work, Xavier can undo a week's worth of stress and accumulated muscle tension in one hour. His workspace creates a sense of peace and calm. He is clean and professional. From his first touch, I could tell I was in experienced hands. I always leave his table feeling like a rubber band and having a renewed sense of energy.

I've been going to Rick for many, many years. Not only is he a great massage therapist, he is also…read morea great source of knowledge in terms of alternative health modalities, which he believes in to supplement more mainstream treatments. His new treatment space in Brookline is pleasant and very soothing. And the room is very large compared to his former modest office in the Back Bay. Rick's particular expertise is treating musicians for the various problems that may arise when playing an instrument. This has been a godsend for me, and doubtless for many other musicians. He will also kindly accommodate your musical preferences while working on you--I don't enjoy New Age stuff, so he indulges my taste for Renaissance and Baroque music! Always a great experience and a pleasure to see Rick.

It is amazing to have someone so focused on your healing with so many healing modalities to offer. I cannot recommend Arun Jain and Integrative Therapies highly enough. Brillance!!

I had to eventually stop running which was devastating as my shins were constantly in pain and calves swollen even from walking. I wish I went sooner to Craig! He listened to exactly why I was there, he was engaging during the massage to really understand all the different tension points, and also uses a mix of hands and tools and holistic body approach explaining all the different connectivity points. Just after 3 sessions, I felt an incredible difference after 2 years of attempted recovery - finally a lightness in my legs. Most importantly, Craig is very respectful and careful in his hand placements and movements, and as a female, I feel very comfortable and am able to relax. I've been going regularly for a year now, and continuously feel better and better each session (for all kinds of body aches and injuries). Highly recommend, especially for runners and athletes!

YES This is real: The BEST massage of my life .Edward is an incredibly empathetic and humble,…read moreextraordinary massage therapist. I am also a massage therapist (in Germany so forgive my English) and have received many wonderful massages. But Edward's was by far the best in a league of its own. I still can not believe what a gift I received with this wonderful treatment. I experienced a perfect acceptance of myself and under this touch I dive into deep relaxation. A combination of wavy and unbelievably gentle movements that are in harmony with the breathing rhythm and the simultaneous strokes of warm oil create feelings of security and bliss. The Lomi experience is not of this world. Edward is really blessed with incredible sensitivity. Edward's massage grabs the soul particularly deeply and equally, along with the body and the mind, paving the way to move forward with a renewed sense of self. Movements from the body axis towards the shoulder girdle create a liberating release of the deep muscles. Accordingly, the massage is designed to relieve tension, to release blockages and reactors balance. It did all that. 3 days after the Lomi, I am still floating like waves on the water. AT the center of Edward's Lomi Lomi is the quality of the touch. His techniques and ability to move are very special. The art of his touch requires (and gives) aloha, in the sense of caring, respect, intention, support and compassion. He is so incredibly professional and present. It is something I don't enough of in therapists. The aim of the massage is to mediate Aloha and to create space for self-healing. Edward gave me Aloha during the massage and made room for my own healing.I'm so thankful for that. The effect of the Lomi massage I clearly feel not only on the physical level, but also on the spiritual level. Edward's Hawaiian ritual of welcome, singing and chant before the massage opens the room to the touch, clearing the way to the inside. Edward, I heartily thank you for this wonderful experience and healing of my self through your touch. I will definitely miss this special massage experience in my life, as I am far away. You are really blessed with something very special. Aloha

Once I saw this, I immediately canceled the appointment as I do not agree with being charged in full a week before an appointment.

I finally had to contact AMEX to dispute the charge, which is ongoing. So buyer beware!!
