I recently got a total hip replacement and Cheryl worked wonders for almost 2 years prior to the surgery to alleviate sever muscle and facia issues relating to my injury.

Cheryl can read your body. Within minutes of being on her table, she'll know how you carry your…read moreweight (both physical and figurative), bad-posture habits, how physically active you are, and where you tend to hold stress. The reason that all this is important is that she isn't just a "massage therapist," she is a whole-body-health therapist. She can help you recover from a chronic pain or move into a new phase of health. She can give a simply astonishing deep-tissue or aid in whole body relaxation. Her office is clean, private, and well-kept, but also very homey-feeling. She pays attention to detail, from music choice, essential oil selection, and the comfort of the sheets and massage table. She is considerate, attentive, and accommodating, while being informative, honest, and strong. She will work out in an hour damage that you have been doing to your body for years. I live in Boston, and will travel to Newburyport just to get Bodywork from Cheryl. She is worth it! (tip: make appointments WAY in advance as she is in demand, but also let her know if you are flexible to take a spot in case of a cancellation!)

Back in Aug 2020 when I was 60 yrs old, while sitting at my desk, I bent over to pick up a…read morepaperclip off the floor and I felt my back pop. I thought that I just pulled a muscle. I went immediately to my chiropractor down the street to see if he could fix it. I ended up getting an MRI on my back. I had herniated the disc and had a couple of bulged discs. I went to a back surgeon that wanted to operate on my back, with no guarantees that it would be fixed. I knew I didn't want surgery or cortisone shots. I've heard too many bad things about them. I told my chiropractor what was going on and he thought that maybe he could help me, but it would take a very long time. In the meantime, Marty Turner owner of the Sacred Tree Massage and Reiki in Newburyport, who I had briefly met through some mutual friends, heard what happened and reached out to me. I knew nothing about massage therapy but was willing to try. Between my chiropractor and Marty Turner, I was pretty much back to normal in 6 months. I own a horse farm, so I'm very active mucking stalls, carrying 5-gallon jugs of water and moving 40 lbs. of hay daily. In the fall I'm raking up about 30 yrds of leaves. I also love to hike and ride in the side x side ATVs. I'm now 65 and still doing all of these things and more. I do go regularly once a month for a 1/2 hr massage to loosen up the muscles. I tried in the beginning to stop going monthly, but found out quickly that I needed to go. If Marty was able to fix my back with the help of the chiropractor, then I suggest that people give him a chance. He is very kind, honest, professional and makes you feel at ease. He will listen intently as to what's going on and will do his best to resolve the issues. Keep in mind, things don't always get fixed with just one visit. It could take several for the muscles to relax and release.

WE COULDN'T BE MORE WRONG OR MORE DISAPPOINTED! At this location you pay for an hour massage but really get only 40 minutes...why? They take you to the massage room consistently 5-7 minutes late. Then they re-interview you for another 5 minutes. Then they leave the room for you to undress and don't come back for another 5-7 minutes. Then they tell you 5 minutes before that they're done and leave to get you a water. The worst part is you tell them you want to leave a 15% or 20% tip and they charge you the tip on the non-member price of the massage!!! What? Seriously? For a 40 minute massage? Ugh.

Strangest massage of my life. I was told initially that I exceeded the weight limit of the table so…read morethey would massage me in the waiting room instead. I have had many massages at various spas and have never been told this before. After doing some quick googling, the weight limit of most tables appears to be 600-800 lbs. I do not exceed this weight (luckily) so I find this odd. It was later in the day so I am not sure if this concern was genuine or done in an attempt to speed things along or to avoid having to clean the massage room. I would've preferred to flat out be denied service. The waiting room I was massaged in had no music, there was a loud clock ticking noise, it was very bright, and another person was in the room while the massage took place. Very difficult to relax and I was disappointed. I've been here in the past and received better treatment and service. Scheduling is also strange. I do not believe they are on massagebook anymore and the website does not show prices or appointment availability. They want you to call/text the owner directly to schedule. I will not be back.
