My therapist was all about doing the massage and reflexology and did not waste any time getting right to it. I felt that she had a lot of skill and experience and was able to address my pressing issues without input on my part. I will be sure to visit this location the next time I am in town.

I want to start by saying the space was clean and inviting and the massage itself was relaxing. The…read moremassage therapist was experienced and did a good job. When I called to make the appointment, I was informed that the cost is $75 for the 60-minute foot reflexology and cash for tip (all of which I had no problem). Prior to the massage, I was charged the $75 which was fine. At the conclusion of my massage I paid the employee a 20% tip. As I was walking away, the employee stopped me and pointed to the sign on the wall which identifies their tipping rates. She was making a point that I under tipped her based on the sign and she was insinuating I pay her more. The sign listed a 60-minute massage as a tip rate of $20 (which is more than 20%). Mind you, the sign did not contain language such as suggested or recommended. Furthermore, their website says nothing about a mandatory tip requirement. Per MA state law, businesses cannot require a tip on services nor can employers demand/request a tip (unless it is a service charge or for large parties). Tips are considered discretionary and are up to the customer. While it was my goal to leave this experience relaxed and rejuvenated, I ended up leaving offended and annoyed.

These services have included reflexology , massage and many different facials. Christine was my most recent facial experience. I walked out feeling like my skin was rejuvenated, totally nurtured and I also left with an education on caring for my aging skin. Specifically, Christine placed a mask on me, other professionals might leave me alone to relax in the room, but she kept adding to the service- massaging my hands, arms and neck. She never missed an opportunity to give me further nurturing and relaxation. I truly appreciated that! This place is so convenient for any northshore resident and am pleased to highly recommend any service.

My boyfriend and I were referred to Lin, the massage therapist, from our innkeeper at Inn Magnolia…read more We were wanting to get some good R & R while away from our weekend get away and that's exactly what we got! Lin is a professionally licensed therapist, and her diplomas decorate the walls in the massage room she used for us. Although we unfortunately couldn't schedule a same-time massage couples session, Lin DID try to arrange it for us, but no such luck. Just for the effort involved, I was pleased! Don't be fooled where the entrance is! It's to the left side of the building! I actually ended up calling Lin because I was that much of a space cadet. She was patient and met us at the front lobby. Since chivalry isn't dead, my babe let me indulge in my session first! Lin even showed us a heated floor yoga room that she invited him to meditate in while I was away; super awesome! Don't be shy! Go to the closet and grab a mat and be one with your breath! The massage: It was nothing short of AMAZING! She is incredibly skilled and worked my troublesome back and tight neck. The hour flew by, like it always does, and Lin was very in-sync as to whether she was applying too much or too little pressure. Be sure to speak up - she encourages it! We would definitely come back in a heartbeat to visit this lovely peaceful haven in this quiet town! CHECK this woman OUT!!!

She combines many techniques (I don't know the names of all the styles), definitely deep enough to be therapeutic and solve nasty muscular aches and pains but she also does yummy feel-good relaxation stuff so that you leave the place feeling all floppy and happy. It is not just her technique that does it tho' -- Lin is the most warm, good hearted person you will ever meet and I always look forward to going back. She runs the center with a huge heart and amazing positive energy. I've also attended Margi Green's terrific Relax and Lengthen class, which is a hybrid of her own creative design and a great experience. The center offers all kinds of other services as well, and many community-oriented events, some of which I've attended. The place is always warm and welcoming (and Lin keeps the place in great condition. Her gardens and beautiful too!); I totally recommend checking it out.

After 1! acupuncture/gua-sha session at The Well, almost ALL back pain and sciatica symptoms are gone. At the initial consult, the practitioner was friendly, took an interest in my situation, and was willing to spend time and give me free advice no matter if I booked a session or not. That convinced me to give it a try. I am so happy that I did. After my 1st session, I purchased a 5 session package, and am going to my 3rd on Friday. If you suffer from any kind of chronic pain, do yourself a good one, and give this a try. For 60 bucks you could change your life! The first session is usually a long one, and most practitioners charge double, NOT SO at the well, they only charge for a singe. If you buy a few sessions you can get them for as low as $50 each. I don't think I've ever spent better money.
