I've had a few dozen massages in my life, many of them in various locations in California. About a…read morethird of the massages I've had have been fantastic. The one I had today from Jenn was the best of them all. Not only did it clear out months of stress from my muscles and mind, but it also changed my whole conception of my relationship to stress, in a way that will improve my life long-term. Plus my whole body was looser afterwards than it's been in years. She is a true artist with decades of experience, and we in Somerville are lucky she's recently decided to open her own practice here.

One of the best things I can do for myself in life is take care of myself in nurturing ways. I am…read moreable to do this by getting an amazing 90 minute monthly massage at Donna Rains Massage. Located on the corner of Main Street and Harvard Ave in the heart of South Medford and just downstairs from The Corner Studio is where you will find Donna. I am lucky to have a great yoga studio upstairs from Donna Rains Massage and as monthly member at the studio, I am able to get an "Ultimate Wellness Package" which includes unlimited yoga and one 90 minute massage per month. There are so many yoga studios popping up in the area and there are also several other massages places around but I don't feel the need to go to any of the other places after meeting with Donna and discussing what I need in terms of my massage. The space is beautiful, the linens are always crisp, clean, and comforting. Her music selection is perfect. I am able to chat with her for a few minutes before the massage and let her know how I am feeling. I sit at a desk all day so I have very tight hips and my low back, neck and shoulders are always in need of some extra TLC. I find myself immediately booking another massage for the next month after my massage. I look forward to each appointment because I have noticed each time I go I feel so much better and Donna just is so intuitive and KNOWS exactly what you need to feel better. I recommend her to anyone who wants a good massage. Donna is able to relieve all my pain and I just breathe better, feel better, sleep better, smile more and just feel RELAXED. What more could you want? Book her for a massage today!

I highly recommend her!

I would give my massage and Laura Lyons a five out of five stars. It was my first massage and not…read moremy last. Laura is professional, kind, passionate about her job and she truly cares about her clients. The room was peaceful, clean and the ambiance was just right. Laura was welcoming and calmed my nervous with ease. She listened to me when I told her what my body needed as well as she was a listening ear for me to vent to, she made me feel important and her kindness meant a lot to me. She targeted my problem areas (my neck and back) throughly and massaged places that I didnt even realize needed attention. Every effort was taken to ensure my comfort and I was extremely satisfied with my massage. As a single mother of 2 I needed some time all about me and Laura made sure to make it all about me. My time felt personalized- she let me choose what oil I liked best, had me pick a stone with my eyes closed that said "success" and ended my massage with a much needed inspirational message from a book. I would recommend her to everyone I know, especially mom's who need time to relax and destress. I left happy, I smelled and felt great, my body felt brand new and I was ready to tackle another hectic day. I hadn't felt that good in a long time. I can't wait to go back to Laura and get another fantastic massage!

I have seen Stephanie a handful of times and was so excited to check out her new practice during my…read morerecent 60 minute massage last week. After 5+ months without a massage, it was an absolute privilege to be able to make a triumphant return to this routine ritual I had previously taken for granted. What I have always loved about Stephanie's approach is that she is the perfect balance of massage + cupping + breathing and energy work that creates this magical experience unlike any other massage I've had. I also appreciate how Stephanie takes seriously the pre-massage consultation and implements exactly what you need. Sometimes you need a bit more practical massage work to get at a sore muscle. Sometimes you need a real energy release and to just. Relax. And sometimes you don't know what you want, and you just trust Stephanie to take the wheel. It's just always what your soul and body needs. The best way to describe a session with Stephanie is that feeling during the savasana and the teacher comes over and gives you that quick 10 second massage that you swear is the best feeling in the world - except Stephanie's massage lasts 60-90 minutes! Upon leaving, I felt more grounded, relaxed, released than I've felt in a long time. I also really appreciated the amount of care and sanitization measures taken during my massage - before, during, and after. It seemed like Stephanie and I were in the same page on how seriously we have taken our stay at home and social distancing measures, so I felt completely safe during my appointment. Can't wait to return back for another session soon, and many more after that!

Shaylynn is a fantastic massage therapist. I originally came in with pain in my spine that was…read moreradiating to my shoulder blade and back muscles that were fairly locked up. Shaylynn's technique provided immediate and (more importantly) lasting relief to my pain. She has very strong hands and always uses the perfect balance of pressure to really work the tissues without making it too painful or leaving you bruised (I've sadly had both from other local therapists). I returned every two weeks and the 1-2 days after my appointment were always the most pain-free. In combination with physical therapy exercises, which were not doing it alone, Shaylynn's treatments have made a huge difference in getting my back to a good place and returning my range of motion. Absolutely top notch for therapeutic massage, you will not be disappointed.
