Jennifer is PHENOMENAL. My initial experience (appointment) embracing the answer to REAL WELLNESS" ‍ cannot be put into words. After years of "medical treatment ‍" with countless copays, medications, surgeries, and procedures my initial visit with Jennifer just clicked. The tranquil sounds playing in the background, comfortable and cozy setting is welcoming. I like just zoned away reflecting on my visit. Jennifer can show better than I could even try to tell you how I am truly taking my body back with the guidance of South Philly Wellness. Parking available Vagaro app provides seamless booking, payment & tip as someone from the service industry respects the hustle. Money and time is spent on wants, well for me Wellness is a need and Jennifer has answered that call. This is truly the best way to enter 2024, and my next chapter. Heartfelt gratitude read more

Okay, so I am way past due for this review, and I am eternally sorry. I've been seeing Jennifer for about 2 years now and it's the best thing I've ever done for myself. As someone who has suffered from back pain and migraines for almost 2 decades and 2 painful pregnancies, I have found that there is nothing better than a quality massage to relax and ease my pain. Not only is Jennifer excellent at what she does with perfect pressure and vast knowledge of the body, but she is also just a wonderful human being and lovely to share some time with. I plan to continue going to see Jennifer for as long as I am able. If you're contemplating a massage, I urge you to book a session with her now. I promise you will love her too! read more

This is waaaay overdue. I would give this place and Jennifer more stars if it were possible. I have been going for a little over a year now and it's been amazing for my mental and physical health. When I come in we chat about how my body is doing and what should we work on. She also asks some leading questions to understand and this is helpful because one might not be thinking specifically about certain areas, but it comes out in conversation due to her experience and dedication to help you feel and be your best, highly, highly recommended! read more

I had a wonderful experience with owner Jennifer and massage therapists Jes and Emily today at South Philly Wellness. First, the business is conveniently located in Pennsport Plaza - a cute row of independently owned shops complete with a gated courtyard in South Philly. It's walkable, drivable with parking, and accessible by way of SEPTA. Jennifer and Jes greeted me at the door as they were opening the shop for my appointment. On a very cold December morning they welcomed me in, invited me to get comfortable and remove my shoes, and got to know me a bit prior to my scheduled services. The 2-floor space is neat and clean and beautifully inviting. First was Jes' 30-minute reiki session. Jes clearly explained how both my services would unfold (between the massage therapist hand-off from reiki to therapeutic), and invited me to lie on the massage table complete with a foot warmer. I've never been offered a heating pad for my feet at any massage, and I thought this was a very unique, thoughtful addition. Jes was patient, thorough, and calming. I felt much lighter afterward. My 60- minute therapeutic massage with Emily was highly intuitive and equally thorough. She spent equal time on all muscle groups, provided a bolster for my sore knees, and met with me after our session for feedback on the service. South Philly Wellness gave me top-notch year-end massage services. I highly recommend them and I'll definitely be back. read more

Jennifer is an incredible massage therapist. After giving birth at the end of March and having a difficult time healing, I was looking for someone who truly understood postpartum care and Jennifer is one thousand percent that person. Not only are the massages the best I've ever had, she truly takes the time to get to know you and understand your journey. Cannot recommend her enough! read more

I highly recommend South Philly Wellness for those who are looking for a multi-sensory approach to their healing and wellness. Originally, I'd gone to Jennifer for back pain relief, postpartum healing, and to help with stress. I started also seeing Jes for Reflexology and both have helped me so much with my overall health and wellbeing. I am finally pain free and the stress melts away. I look forward to every visit to South Philly Wellness and feel 10x better after every session. I feel so comfortable in the space, its super clean and welcoming - like a cozy haven. South Philly Wellness has gifted healers that take the time to listen and generally care. I'm incredibly lucky to have found this practice. read more

South Philly Wellness is great! I have been going to Jennifer June for massages for years now, and I'm happy to see the new location flourishing. Would recommend to anyone looking for relaxation and connecting or re-connecting with their body. read more

Jennifer is so knowledgeable about the body and multiple issues that can happen to it. She's very open and caring and takes the time to actually listen to the client (before, during, and after services). Nothing ever feels rushed during your visit!! She doesn't chat the whole time (like so many massage therapists/places), and she makes you feel truly accepted. I can't recommend her enough!!! She also has a beautiful new space in Pennsport Mall with free lot parking. read more

STAY AWAY!! IMMENSELY UNPROFESSIONAL, NASTY, & RUDE!!! I patronized this business on 3 different occasions. I was on time and never canceled. However, today I sent a text basically explaining that I may be late, is it possible if I could come later or reschedule for tomorrow.....she was incredibly rude and nasty, she literally said to me, "Her time with her family was cut short to help you achieve your goal of a family". I found this to be incredibly insensitive and unprofessional as I go to her for Vsteams that are supposed to aid in my fertility health....and I also wasn't going to be late just because, I was getting an infusion treatment that was running longer than normal which I expressed to her. This lady shows that she's nasty and insensitive to women that are not only facing fertility issues but also to people that are dealing with autoimmune disorders. Please see screenshots of the text messages on google review . I definitely wouldn't recommend anyone to go there!!! To my women of color; DO NOT give your money to this business because she comes with off welcoming but clearly this is who she is and she DOES NOT VALUE OUR MONEY!!! read more

Jennifer is wonderful! She was proactive about communicating what to expect, both in terms of covid safety and in general. When I arrived, she took the time to ask me thoroughly about my needs and restrictions. She provided a high-quality, professional massage, and I feel so much better! I'll definitely be going back. read more

Jennifer is the bees knees! I already knew that but it has been reconfirmed! I was gifted a 90 min. massage at a popular walnut street studio and was just waiting for it to end. Jennifer is 1000000xyz x better!! I promise! She tailors the massage to you and your needs, emotional state, physical ailments. I just love her! And I love small business owners and you should too! read more

I visited South Philly Wellness today for a Prenatal Massage, and it was such a good decision! Jen was very patient and spent some time talking to me to understand how my pregnancy has been going, what types of symptoms and issues I may have been having, and asked if there were any specific areas that I wanted her to focus on. The massage, itself, was magnificent and just what I needed. The ambiance, coupled with the massage techniques were so awesome, and I cannot wait to return. I will definitely be referring family and friends. read more

Jennifer is fantastic! I'll go in limping and leave walking like a normal person! She isn't going to just give you a little rub. She's going to ask what ails you and work her magic (i.e. - actual skill and knowledge) to make you feel like yourself again. She's extremely professional and attentive, and her South Philly location is clean and pleasant. I'm so glad to know her and have been singing her praises to anyone who'll listen. read more

Best massage experience I've ever had - I feel like a new woman! I saw Jennifer for a prenatal massage and my only regret is that I didn't discover her sooner! She immediately made me feel comfortable and took the time to really understand my needs and what my body needed. The massage itself was so relaxing and wonderful - it felt like a true spa experience. I will definitely be going back for many more and I highly recommend her to anyone interested in true relaxation and comfort. read more

Jennifer is great. She was waiting outside for me when I arrived for my appointment to make sure I was able to find the space. It was scorching hot and she immediately offered me water and sat me by the air conditioning unit. We talked about why I was coming in for a massage and she tailored the plan based on my concerns, even opening up an anatomy book to explain certain techniques she would use. The space is small but well-decorated and comfortable. It's just one room and then a small bathroom, so she has to go wait in the bathroom while you change! I felt relaxed and comfortable the entire time. We talked a little bit at the beginning of the massage but I prefer to stay silent and she picked up on that and from then on just checked in with me to make sure nothing was hurting me. At the end of the massage we talked about pricing options for coming back again and she asked me to spread the word to my friends about my experience which I am more than happy to do. read more

Jennifer is amazing! She is extremely knowledgeable and every place I have had pain she got to without asking :) she was patient and asked comforting questions to know as much as she could about my pregnancy. Room is quaint and the atmosphere was perfect for a wonderful nap ! Great gift for anyone who is pregnant, just had a baby, or looking for a masseuse to cater to their needs! read more

Jennifer is the best massage therapist who's ever worked on me (and my 4839748374938 knots)! I learned of her and H.E.A.L. at a fantastic Yelp Elite Event in 2014 and received a discount coupon for my first massage. I've been seeing her for the past six months and have realized it's definitely time to talk about my consistently awesome sessions with her. What I love most about Jennifer's practice is that it's not out of a box -- you know how some massage therapists seem like they're going through a set of an uninspired motions? This is far from it! Jennifer is strong, has oodles of experience and her proverbial toolbox of technique is unique, drawing from what seems like at least a dozen different styles of massage. In fact, I have been gifted two different massages with other masseuses since seeing Jennifer and it just wasn't the same; the difference is leaving relaxed vs. gaining rotation in my constantly sore neck! She really listens to what's been ailing me and expertly targets that issue. My massages with Jennifer are so on point, I once drifted off and murmured "That was a good idea..." into the table facehole. Jennifer operates out of her lovely, comfortable home on Croskey and the cute and cozy H.E.A.L location on Samson. I prefer the Samson location just due to proximity to my place, but I feel at home and welcome in both locations. So, now that you know more about one of the great hidden talents in our city, go ahead and book your appointment, but don't be gobbling up all the sliding scale appointments...I need this lady in my life! I'd go every week if I could. Thank you, Jennifer!!! read more

I was privileged to purchase a living social for a scalp treatment and facial massage. It was relaxing and therapeutic. Jennifer was professional, timely, extremely skilled and very knowledgeable. I am so grateful it is in a convenient location that is relaxing and pleasant. I'll be back, and I hope you will go there too. read more

Jennifer is great! I was given a gift certificate for a 110 minute Lomi Lomi massage that a friend won at a raffle, and it was fantastic. Lomi Lomi is based on traditional Hawaiian techniques and uses coconut oil. I chose the South Philly location, which is operated out of Jennifer's lovely home near the Girard Estates neighborhood, but she also works from a 7th & Sansom location downtown. Not only was the massage fantastic and relaxing, Jennifer was professional and friendly. I will definitely go back and recommend her to my friends. read more

I am very pregnant and have been very uncomfortable. I bought a groupon for a prenatal massage with Jennifer and now feel the best I've felt in a long time. She's wonderful! A little blue gem hidden in a quirky tiny space way in South Philly. read more

Highly recommend! Jennifer is great- excellent massages and she has a very kind and welcoming personality. I've gotten two maya abdominal massages from her and one prenatal and loved each of them. read more

5 stars isn't enough!! I made an appointment with Jennifer based on a friend's recommendation and the fact that she was running a special through groupon for a 60 minute massage at a deep discount. When I walked into the tiny basement studio, I was warmly greeted and invited in. Jennifer too the time to listen to my concerns and to explain the process, she then asked if there were any specific body parts/issues that we wanted to work on. After discussing my concerns and creating a plan, she excused herself into the powder-room while I changed out of my clothes and got under the sheets on the comfortable table (she uses a massage table that is larger that normal, so it was very spacious and comfortable no matter what size body you have. The massage itself was heaven. I left feeling super-relaxed and tension free. I already scheduled my next session. A perfect little slice of paradise in South Philly. read more

I purchased a living social Lomi Lomi massage for head, neck and shoulders and it was great. Jennifer's hands felt very healing on my sore body. I felt her loving energy flow through me. I will be making another appointment soon as she is so close to my house and offers a sliding scale fee if needed. Her space is very clean and comfortable. read more

Jennifer is amazing. She's caring, welcoming, professional, and extremely skilled. Her work helps me manage chronic jaw pain and leg muscle issues. Her Indian head massages are also fantastic and relaxing. Her home office is lovely and conveniently located near the Girard Estates area of South Philly. I had my first prenatal massage with her today and I never wanted it to end! read more

Jennifer was wonderful , we first had a consultation to see what my focus areas would be and she paid attention to what we discussed during the massage. She had very nice relaxing music on as I enjoyed my Swedish massage which left me feeling refreshed. Finding the place was a little challenging as it is downstairs of the building but thankfully Jennifer was standing there to show me the way down. I definitely recommend! read more

Due to spinal surgeries, I needed massage to help relieve pain and tension in my shoulders and back while avoiding certain areas. Jennifer was experienced with this challenge and the massage was wonderful and definitely helped the pain and tension disappear. She is very nice and professional, and the atmosphere and setup is very welcoming and comfortable. This is now my go-to place any time I need a massage. read more

Jennifer is awesome; I went to her for a prenatal massage, as I am having a horribly sick and painful pregnancy and needed some serious pampering. She and her adorable doggy made me feel relaxed and welcome as soon as I got to the door. She asked me some questions about my pain, lifestyle, symptoms, etc. Then came the massage. I wasn't in a lot of pain today, but Jennifer's skilled hands found and worked out knots buried so deep I didn't even know they were there yet. I also loved how she used pillows and props to keep me on my side and totally comfortable. After the amazing hour massage, she gave me some tips for positioning myself to alleviate shoulder pain and heartburn/stomach issues. The entire experience was great and I definitely plan to return. She also teaches classes for couples on prenatal massage that my husband and I plan on taking. The massage was $75 for the hour; quite reasonable. Definitely worth finding this hidden gem in South Philly (she is only a block from my house!) but she also works out of Center City as well. read more
