Testimonials

I love Joann’s caring approach to bodywork…Her blend of techniques is spectacular. Extra touches for example with her heat and essences combined with her focus, inquisitiveness and empathy makes one feel deeply cared for. Joann’s strength and persistence address the worst spots and her tenacity and hopefulness help me be optimistic about a healthier future while her occasional tough love gives me the kick to do more to make it so! -Mari Omland

I suffered from headaches for a few months, which were resolved in one massage session! If you’re suffering from muscle issues and related problems, Joann knows how to help you with a steady and considerate hand. She puts her heart and soul and full extent of her expertise into her massages. Highly recommended! -Peter Luyckx

I have been seeing Joann monthly for about a year now to try and address chronic low back pain.  The massage therapy has been part of a suite of treatments that has, for the first time in nearly 20 years, relieved me of episodic spasms that are followed by weeks, sometimes months, of recovery.

As I walked out of my first appointment with Joann I was amazed at how sprightly I felt.  She really focused on my hips in a way that no massage therapist had before.  It was wonderful when I woke up the next day and was pain-free for the first time in months....

Joann's ability to listen - both to what I tell her about myself and to my actual body- is extraordinary.  She is sensitive and smart.

Joann has an uncanny ability to know the exact spot that's in need, even if I don't.  She's truly a gifted therapist and one that everyone should consider.
-Jeremy Lesniak

Joann is extremely easy to talk to regarding any areas that may need work.  She made me feel comfortable from the start and listens to what I am saying.  She does not discount anything I might tell her as trivial and never downplays what I am feeling.

Joann Dwyer is attentive, professional and kindly attuned to my needs and goals during my massage sessions. Though I have experienced her deep tissue massage, Joann can deftly modulate her focus and pressure to provide a restful and deeply relaxing experience as well. I appreciate her calm, warm presence and her lighthearted sense of humor. My most recent massage from Joann was quite simply perfection! -Emily Kniffin

Joann is the absolute BEST massage therapist I have ever experienced. I have been getting massages semi regularly for the last 3 years (while living all over New England) to alleviate neck and upper back pain, and no one has been able to offer a treatment like Joann’s. She truly understands the structures and fascia of the body to deliver individualized care and an exceptional massage. I can’t recommend her highly enough! -Kate Wooten

Joann’s work is remarkably competent; her deep tissue work is bar none, but she also has that hard-to-find ability to sense where her clients are at, and meet them at the optimal place on the tissue spectrum for that person’s unique healing ability. I feel very confident referring my patients to her, whether injury recovery and specific patterns that need work, or just needing body support in general. -Erin J. Sepic, D.C.

She has a clear knowledge of body structure and very effectively uses that knowledge to address my "problem areas" in a way that is empathetic and considerate.  I also consider her a very creative massage therapist, who demonstrates the ability to adjust her methods to meet my current needs.
