As I walked into Rose's office, I could feel the intentionality, beauty, and warmth that she offers. It felt easeful and eye-opening to answer her questions, share about myself, and speak about what I hoped to heal. I felt Rose's presence, attunement, listening, and care throughout our session. After our time together, my body felt healed and new, as if I could orient myself in a more centered and clear way. During the massage, I felt Rose fully listening to what was needed in my body, slowly opening up new layers and tending carefully to each one, from my skin to my core. Rose found places I didn't even know needed care and stayed with those areas, loosening knots and opening up space until they were completely relaxed. The generous care Rose offered showed my body what it feels like to receive genuine, attuned healing. I am deeply grateful and look forward to more sessions with Rose soon. read more

5 1/2 Stars Moving, yet again, to another new home has shown me how important finding a talented Massage Therapist [MT] is everywhere I go. The universe brought me Rose DeNicola, an extremely talented MT in the massage science and art. Yesterday, I arrived at Rose's office after experiencing an unpleasant scuffle with a tow truck operator in Rose's building's parking lot. He was attempting to enforce errant parkers from parking there who were not patrons of the two associated buildings. His attitude, tone, and demeanor, for whatever reason, rubbed me the wrong way and I became upset. In hindsight, he triggered latent anger in me. In the moment, neither he or I handled it well. I was met by Rose at her office door and she asked if something was wrong. I briefly related my experience to her, and she went out to talk to the tow truck driver with me. Through calm and considerate mediation, Rose was able to get the tow operator to apologize to me. I thanked the man and did my best to be calmer. Throughout the encounter, Rose handled herself with aplomb, poise, and centeredness---I was so impressed. Not only did Rose diffuse the entire situation, without judgment, she patiently and kindly spent a number of minutes sitting with me before my massage, listening to me share and offering her support. Rose masterfully soothed my emotions and brought me into a safe place to receive what would be one of the best massages of my lifetime. Armed with the knowledge from the event that just transpired, and because she bore witness to my process, Rose intuitively orchestrated the moves and strokes perfectly in tune with my needs. With every joint Rose worked, through her pinpoint strength exactly where my muscles needed it, and as she honed in on places my emotions manifested in my body, I felt absolutely wonderful. After decades of receiving world-class bodywork with hundreds of professional massages, I am well qualified to identify extraordinary healing talent. A superb and artful massage from Rose DeNicola can cure what ails your body and mind. Experiencing the love-in-action that Rose displays effortlessly in tense and dramatic situations is something to behold. My body is so grateful to Rose DeNicola . . . and so is my heart and spirit.

You're in good hands with Rose--quite literally! From our first meeting, Rose has extended authentic compassion and offered intuitive healing based on my physical and emotion experience at the time of treatment. She is an excellent active listener and infuses her work with unparalleled care and tenderness. I feel heard and held at every treatment and always leave with a deep sense of felt peace in both body and heart. Please do yourself a favor and visit Rose for all the beautiful healing she offers! read more

My husband and I are massage enthusiasts as part of our self-care. We realized that due to the pandemic we hadn't been doing anything other than staying home, my husband working full-time from home and taking neighborhood walks. All wise and safe measures, but nothing that includes taking extra care of our minds and bodies during such stressful times. So, I came here on Yelp looking for a mobile masseuse and found Rose. I very much liked what I read on here in the other reviews and on her website as well. We started with my husband being treated and he said it was the best massage he has ever had. I had to check with him to make sure he wasn't exaggerating (because we have had lots of massages), and he was not! That is AMAZING! He was so happy. He said he didn't even realize how much stress was pent up in his muscles and what it felt like to truly be relaxed and stress and tension free in his body. He is going to be booking twice a month now, which I think is really wise. I am booked for next week myself and really looking forward to it. It's a pleasure and a treat that Rose is offering mobile services by coming directly to our home. She sets up outside (we have a garden, so it was lovely), both parties wear masks, and she asks clients to provide their own sheets and pillow case. All very Covid friendly and we felt perfectly safe, while still being able to have a massage at home, de-stress, feel amazing and meet our self-care needs during this pandemic time period and beyond. Many thanks Rose! read more

The absolute best massages I've experienced in over 20 years of chronic illness have been with Rose. Most masseuses I've seen did pretty much the same basic massage every time, regardless of my current condition. Rose isn't like that. As an intuitive, therapeutic masseuse, she carefully listens to you describing your current situation, your aches and pains, how you've been since last seen, checking on your state of mind, then she goes on to give you a massage like you've never had! She knows just where it hurts and just how to heal it. Rose is a very gifted and caring Healer. She uses essential oils specific to your needs; perhaps a Sacral Cranial Release that soothes any neck, shoulder or head ache or tension you have; always a soothing, gentle touch. Rose makes me feel so much better in no time. Every time. I like the 1&1/2 hour session. An hour is too short, and 90 minutes is not too much either (I'm sensitive to touch, chronic pain). I highly recommend Rose for everyone, for any need. I've referred friends who've gone for stress, the more "typical" aches and pains of life, and they've all come back feeling great, and all are very pleased. Rose will gently soothe, heal and mend you, body and soul. Oh, and did I say she is a really lovely person too?!? Awesome. read more

Rose is a highly skilled and seasoned practitioner. As a fellow massage therapist that is very discerning about who I see regularly, I give her my highest recommendation. Her work is deeply therapeutic--a flowing dance that targets specific acupressure points and soothes the nervous system. read more

Rose does an expert job of creating a peaceful, healing space and paid specific attention to my needs. She showed the utmost care for my comfort and resolved all my work-related aches and pains. I highly recommend booking a session! It was a delightful and cleansing experience I didn't realize I needed. I will absolutely be booking another massage soon. read more

Rose gave me a fantastic massage. She listened and was very knowledgeable about my concerns. I will look forward to the next time I can visit and feel this will be an important part of my improved health journey read more

Best massage I've ever received! Started with a chat about what's been going on with my body and health, and what I wanted to work on during our session - showed genuine interest and desire to personalize my massage - and did so with brilliance. With an incredibly healing energy and spot-on intuition, Rose was able to tune into, sync with, and work with my energy in ways I have not experienced in my life. Seems to have an amazing understanding of how to address and heal the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of her clients, and how to explain it in a way that makes sense as well. Perfect balance of deeper massage and lighter touch, sunk into a level of comfort and relaxation that far exceeded any prior massage experience. Set me up for a blissed out afternoon - it's been a few days and I'm still feeling the effects. Thank you Rose --- see you soon :) read more

I highly recommend a massage with Rose! I find her to be so sweet, sincere, caring, and deeply present. She combines skill in a variety of modalities with intuition as she enters into my specific body dynamics. Thus she's able to keep feeling in and dancing with what is there, shifting, moving, often working quite deeply without triggering the muscle's automatic defenses. She said last time that she keeps asking my body's wisdom what it deeply needs. That's just what it feels like! I'm amazed and impressed by what she does, and so grateful for her support of my body when it's in need. Thank you so much, Rose! read more

Rose is an incredibly caring, intuitive, and effective healer. I immediately felt comfortable and supported. I have always treated massage as a luxury but after only a few sessions with Rose, I am understanding the broader benefits for my overall health and healing and it just keeps getting better. Not only does my physical body feel better, but my energy feels lighter. I am so grateful to have found Rose as a trusted partner in my health and well being. read more

Rose is an incredible healer, you can tell as son as you meet her! She has deep intuitive connection with how to approach your care and well being. You must experience her healing hands! read more

I have been a long-term client of Rose as well as refer to her as a colleague and LOVE her work. She is sweet and knowledgable and intuitive. She does a wonderful combination of deeply relaxing AND therapeutic massage, which I find rare, both as the recipient and in terms of having someone to refer to my clients. Overall, I would recommend her for anyone who is looking for either a relaxation massage or is looking for support with a specific area of the body. She is a gem. read more

A massage with Rose is simply an exquisite experience. I came to her after experiencing muscle tightness in my back after a car accident and heaviness/achiness on the tops of my shoulders. Rose set the space beautifully and asked thoughtful questions for my intake before the massage. She used a blend of traditional massage with acupressure and lymphatic drainage. I remember feeling the best I had felt physically in months the morning after my massage with Rose...and that feeling lasted the whole week. She has a natural gift and I continue to go back! When Rose was away for a month I had a hard time thinking of going to any other massage therapist because Rose's massages are really that special. read more

Rose is an intuitive and skilled body worker with a subtle sense and great healing touch. Her love of massage is evident in how she works, and the dedication with which she continues to grow her abilities and knowledge. The benefit of massage will be most fully realized through ongoing treatments. I recommend regular sessions with Rose, to bring balance and health to the body, mind and soul. read more

Rose is one of the most intuitive healers I've ever encountered. I have been very lucky to experience a wide variety of massage therapy and I can say without exaggeration that she is in a league of her own. Her entire process was incredibly thoughtful, validating and soothing. I was grateful that Rose began our session by asking me questions about my body and unpacking her style/background. From there I felt a deep trust and ease. Her set up enabled immediate relaxation and once the massage began that only intensified. I was blown away by how simultaneously tender and effective her touch is. Rose's ability to sense where a body stores pain and tension (especially on a body she's never worked on before) is POWERFUL. I felt intense relief from the work she did on my jaw and my abdomen (which are huge hotspots of discomfort for me). My extremely busy mind was actually able to quiet itself and be calm throughout the massage. It was a uniquely spiritual experience, centered around my body's specific needs for healing. Nothing about it was canned or contrived. And at the end of our session, Rose offered such heartfelt and profound observation. I felt seen, connected, supported and relieved. I cannot recommend her therapy enough! She is undoubtedly my first choice here on out! read more

Rose is the best! I have been seeing her for many years and after many massages, I go only exclusively to her. She works with such care and awareness of my needs and intuits so much. She moves beyond simply moving muscles or deep tissue, and is actually repairing and healing the body and mind in unison. I am so grateful for her wisdom and her practice. I cannot recommend her enough. read more
