I so appreciate Susie's high quality Shiatsu massage.

LOVE THE NEW SPACE
Susie does a great job at really listening to what your needs are and her treatments have helped out some of my on-going issues. I've been seeing her for a long time and I have to say I really liked my last visit in the new space in the Longfellow building. It was easy to get to and parking was easy as pie. The room already feels cozy and just right....and it's only been a little over a week!
-E.C.
AMAZING MASSAGE
I just had my first massage with Susie and it was fantastic. I hold so much tension in my shoulders and Susie listened to what my needs were and really loosened them up. I woke up the next morning feeling relaxed and revitalized. One of the best massages I've had in a long time and I can't wait to go back.
-S.M.
SUSIE'S BODYWORK IS PERFECT
Every time I leave a session with Susie I feel lighter, looser, and just in a state of balance. I'm a runner and quite active so sometimes I need to very specific work. Other times a way to regroup and feel grounded. In either circumstance Susie is such an asset!
-K.N.

EXCELLENT SHIATSU MASSAGE
Susie Carlson has helped me recover from a series of ailments using her shiatsu massage skills. First she helped tendinitis heal in my left arm in just 3 weeks when a friend with a similar problem took months to heal. Lately she has been helping me recover from pain in my legs and joints so that I've gone from sitting in a chair to being able to climb stairs, kneel and walk without limping. She is amazing
-C.T.
A GREAT RELIEF
I have been getting body work from Susie for four years and can't imagine not having an appointment on the books with her. I began seeing her for shiatsu to relieve tension in my body from repetitive movements and have since moved on to relaxing massages. Susie is very professional, caring and offers advice on stretches that I can perform at home for relief. I check in with her each month to keep my body in alignment and to keep track of any significant changes that I would not otherwise notice.
-M.S.
