I'm honestly not someone who usually writes reviews, but my experience with Marisa has been so…read moreimpactful that I felt like I had to share. I drive over an hour each way to see her and it's been so worth it. I originally went to see Marisa for extreme anxiety and ongoing sleep issues, after trying what felt like every modality out there: somatic exercises, journaling, therapy, BIT, meditation, breath-work...you name it. While many of those helped in their own ways, nothing truly moved the needle for me the way hypnoacupuncture with Marisa has. From my very first session, there was an obvious shift. Even the people around me noticed. After that first session, the tension in my shoulders decreased, and the only way I can describe it is that everything (physically & mentally) felt like it had been taken down a notch. Since working with her, my sleep has completely transformed. I went from having an extremely hard time falling asleep and waking up almost every hour, to now pretty much sleeping through the night. If I do wake up, I can fall back asleep easily, and I'm even dreaming a lot which I take as a sign I'm finally getting deep, restful sleep. I've seen such drastic improvements that I genuinely feel like I have a new baseline. I feel so much more in control of my anxiety now and honestly like a completely different person than I was just a few months ago. It's been truly life changing. I honestly wish I could see her weekly. The closest way I can describe how you feel leaving a session is like you just had a massage; you're so relaxed, grounded, and at ease. Marisa has truly touched my life. She is genuinely an angel. She listens, she cares deeply, and she is incredibly dedicated to her clients. If she doesn't have an answer right away, she always follows up, whether by email or the next time you see her, which says so much about the level of thought and attention she gives. I don't feel comfortable around many people, but there's something about her energy that is so light and reassuring. She creates such a safe, welcoming environment, and it makes all the difference. I'm so grateful to have found her and truly can't recommend her enough.

When I moved to MA from NJ I tried many places and thought I'd never find a person to compare to the massage therapist I had back home. On my first visit I was suffering with a migraine caused by the stress and tension in my neck and shoulders. As Marty worked on me, he explained how the muscles in one area affect the muscles in the area I was having trouble with. I appreciated that because I've asked other massage therapists in the past and it seemed as though they just didn't know. He has studied anatomy and can explain everything about body mechanics to you. When my lower back acts up, his massage has helped way more than when I was going to physical therapy. After about a year of getting massages here, I can walk in and say, "please fix me!" and he does. He truly wants to help people feel better. It's always a personal experience and his personality is genuine. Marty is the absolute BEST! I have recommended him to many people. If your considering trying him you absolutely should!

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.

Her home visits and contact with me before the birth were awesome -- committed, caring, and knowledgeable. She suggested resources to help me prepare, and generally put us at ease. She is such a supportive and caring person, yet also an RN and seasoned doula who knows her stuff! During labor, Myrna put both me and my husband at ease, and was very hands-on with massage and pressure (but also knew when to give us a little space or time together). She build excellent rapport with our nurses and midwife and kept the room calm and supportive yet also fun. She is unflappable, and great at talking through options when you have a medical decision to make. She helped my husband relax and be present, and also feel OK to grab a sandwich for a few minutes. I can't imagine our births without her awesome blend of kindness and professional skill. After my son was born I had various questions about breastfeeding and newborn care and she was very helpful via text, drawing on the whole Birthing Gently group for expertise. I was impressed at how the group worked together in collaboration and trust. I highly recommend Birthing Gently and Myrna!
