I had been searching for the right person who could address my painful shoulder, which had flared…read moreup again after October 7th. I knew that I needed someone who understood the emotional aspects of my shoulder pain, in addition to the physical condition of it. I was also drawn to her intuitive skills described on her website, as I knew that there was inter-generational and epigenetic trauma that needed to be addressed. WOW did Sonja deliver! She not only started the healing process for me after the very first visit, the pain pretty much subsided after just 2-3 sessions. I have been to LOTS of healers, body-workers, intuits, massage therapists, etc. over the last 15 years and she is by far the best. Sonja is truly gifted!! I immediately had my daughter go see her and my son and husband are next! Simply cannot recommend her enough!

I have been meaning to write this review ever since the 60-minute massage I received from Sonja…read moreback in November 2023. More recently, I completed a 2-hour Deep Dive & Reset session. On both occasions, it took many months of budgeting and saving to be able to come up with the funds to afford the session. Based on the reviews of Freshwater I saw online, I had suspected that it would be worth the financial sacrifice, and my experience on both occasions proved my suspicions to be correct. I won't claim for a second to understand how any of this works, but I can give you (as a prospective client of Sonja's) a sense of what to expect. Sonja's studio is warm and inviting. Even if you are awkward and unsure of what to expect (as I was), you will find that she works to put you at ease right away, offering a glass of water and explaining how things will work. For the Deep Dive & Reset, the bulk of the session is spent in a supine position on a massage table, relaxing with your eyes closed. There isn't any physical touch, but if your experience like mine then you will certainly feel things-- heat, pressure, a sensation of internal movement?, and other things I lack the vocabulary to describe. Sonja encourages you to relax and not think about anything in particular throughout this process. The energy work/ clearing session is then followed by a debrief in which Sonja shares her insights about what she picked up during the session. She then offers some suggestions of ways to clear stuck or negative energy, tailored to you based on what she observed or felt during the session. She advises you to take it easy following the appointment and if your experience is like mine, you'll find it impossible to ignore her advice: I was completely exhausted for the 2-3 days following. And after that, hopefully you will feel a bit lighter. Freer. Things will bother you and stick with you just a bit less. You will feel more hopeful and a little less foggy. And the words of advice that Sonja offered will stick with you, proving prescient in ways that feel both spooky and extraordinary. All of this defies what I know and understand about the human body. I've long relied on holistic treatments such as massage, yoga, and mindfulness, but my preference is for evidence-based treatments: things we know work based on science and research. I'm not aware of any research backing the effectiveness of whatever it is that I experienced in the Deep Dive & Reset session that I completed. And yet, it was so profoundly healing - in ways that are continuing to impact my life and wellbeing for the better - that I've decided I don't need to understand to know that it works (for me, at least). If you decide to try energy work - particularly if you're a newcomer to this healing modality the way I am - then I heartily recommend entrusting Sonja with providing this service. I'm glad that I did, and I am forcing myself to write this vulnerable review in the interest of helping others find their way to receive her services.

Words will be hard to find to express my deep gratitude I have for Claire and her work. I began my…read morehealing journey with Clair at a very difficult and transitioning time in my life. I was in my late twenties and had come face to face with my trauma and it's impact after years of just ignoring or disregarding my need to work through it all. I had never experienced Reiki before so, at first, I was cautious (of course) but then Claire connected with me in a way I've never felt more safe, more seen and more heard. After our first session, that was it, I knew I needed her energy guidance. I cannot recommend Claire enough if you are struggling in your purpose or in your relationships or if you just simply crave a deeper relationship with yourself. She is quite literally magic in human form for me.

Lauren throughly explained the process to me prior to my session and only asked for my name. She was able to quickly tap into the other side.

She's very friendly and good at what she does -- you can feel the difference in your body immediately. Appointments can be made via email, calling, or texting; but be sure to give her about 48 hours notice. I went to her Mass Ave location, but she also does home massages. For my visit, I had an hour-long Swedish massage and I have to say that it's definitely one of the better ones I had. She was very professional and asked about my preferences and needs. When I told her about my upper back scoliosis, she didn't automatically avoid working that area or completely ignore what I said (like some other masseuses have done), she just gently worked it until it got better. My shoulders and neck honestly haven't felt that relaxed and comfortable in a long time. I also asked her to focus on my hands and feet and she did a good job. The only reason why this isn't a full 5 Stars is because of the atmosphere -- it just wasn't very conducive to relaxation. In all fairness though, that is not Lily's fault. She just happens to share the office with a therapist(?), so the decor felt a little out of place for a massage. The location is very convenient though; it's right on Mass Ave, with loads of metered parking nearby and within reach of several bus stops. Overall, I would definitely visit Lily again and would recommend her services to anyone. She does a great job and I've already bought the $75 for $50 Yelp Deal for my next appointment. Pro-Tip: It's cash or PayPal only -- no cards yet. Roughly $65 for 60 minutes.

I always come out feeling like I'm walking on air. I'm never disappointed when I leave here, which is a nice change from some of the other body/energy work experiences I've had. Highly recommended.

It's been 12yrs since my dad passed. Early on, not realizing the truth, we blamed him for his…read moredeath. Over the years, I was able to make peace with him passing, which enabled me to feel connected to him. As time went on, and I experienced life's many challenges, I found myself feeling more disconnected from the strong spiritual bond I had with him and relied heavily on. Three years ago a friend of mine introduced me to Molly. She shared with me her gifts and suggested I speak with her when I was ready. It wasn't until recently did I feel an even stronger loss. Losing a parent has challenged me in many ways. It's an unfortunate experience but has also shined light on so many wonderful memories I hold close to my heart. But the memories lessened and I felt lost. I decided it was time for me to meet with Molly. Words cannot express how I feel and what I experienced. It was overwhelming, comforting and amazing; similar to finding the right partner in life! Molly channeled the missing pieces of the lost memories and helped me put together the true meaning of my life. She answered questions, I ignored and had forgotten. She eased the pain and treated the open wounds. But most importantly, she provided me with comfort, and reminding me of who my father was and who he is now. My father supported me, provided guidance, loved me unconditionally and quietly protected me. I realized, he continues to in spirit, and will always be there, I just need to let him in. Molly's calming presence and loving personality has made this experience invaluable and unforgettable.

I was a little nervous about what would happen. I'll spare the details of the reading (because I could go on and on!), but all I can say is that because of her, and the things she said, I was able to deal with the loss of my father. She said things that only I knew. Things and traditions that were very private and special to my family and me. I still get emotional thinking about it. I've referred 2 people to Molly since my reading, and both people raved about her! They both felt a sense of peace after talking to her. I think she has such a special gift, and I will continue to come to her for advice, readings and whatever else she provides! I would also like to mention that I live in the Midwest, so Molly was able to provide a reading over the phone. Molly has been such a life saver for me. I seriously don't know how I would have done without her. AMAZING!!!

The studio is on the third floor of a building and shares bathrooms with the other tenants of the building. That was the only real negative of the experience. A dirty semi-public bathroom. There is some initial paperwork before your first appointment, it took less than 5 minutes. Then you wait in the lounge area for your masseuse. I got the therapeutic massage and it was just what I needed. The massage therapist checked in with me about the pressure and wasn't chatty. It was bliss. She really helped to work out some pain I had been having and I left much more relaxed than when I came in. An overall 4.5 experience.
