Massage Therapy is a manipulation of muscle tissue in order to increase circulation, promote full body relaxation and loosen and release muscle tension. Almost everybody can benefit from massage, whether addressing specific injuries, increasing athletic performance, or seeking general relaxation. An effective massage can be performed with varying depth, depending on the client's needs and preferences. Hot stones and Aromatic essential oils can be incorporated into a massage session upon the client's request.
Talya Solomon has been serving the Pioneer Valley since 1998. She trained at the Stillpoint School for massage and is nationally certified and locally licensed. Her main practice is in the Town of Amherst. Over the years, she has developed specialities in Swedish Massage, Deap Tissue, Foot Reflexology and Hot Stone Massage.
As the best-known type of massage performed today, Swedish Massage relaxes the entire body by rubbing the muscles with long gliding strokes in the direction of blood returning to the heart. In Swedish Massage, the therapist will apply massage oil to your skin to facilitate various massage strokes, including the smooth gliding stroke called effleurage to lengthen muscles and increase circulation.
If you have never experienced this unique indulgence, you owe yourself this exquisite moment. Hot Stone Massage involves the application of water-heated basalt stones of varying sizes placed on key points of the body, giving a deep grounding massage and creating sensations of comfort and warmth. Hot stones are placed strategically on the body in preporation for massage while other hot stones of different shapes, sizes and textures are used as massage tools to create a customized treatment tailored to meet your needs.

Talya is very professional and has the technique to give a deep massage if that's what you are looking for (and will lighten up if you just ask at any point). She always asks beforehand if there is anything she should know regarding injuries/conditions or preferences and she keeps notes and remembers the next time. She is comfortable with music, silence, or conversation. I know Talya is quite experienced with seniors, but I believe she's comfortable with all ages. Highly recommended!

Amazing massage therapist! I have been dealing with sciatica for a few weeks now and it has tightened up lots of different areas of my body. After the massage I was able to get some stretching in and it was the most comfortable I've felt in weeks. Thanks, Talya for helping me out! I will most certainly be back! 10/10 recommended. Relaxing setting and amazing massage skills.

Went for a massage for the first time and Talya made the entire experience very comfortable. I appreciated the client intake form where you can circle what areas you need focus on. She also adjusted the pressure as needed. She makes sure that the massage time is an hour and the form filling is not part of that time. I appreciated the client focus and the personalization.
Despite being a home based massage studio, the ambiance was very comfortable and professional. Talya also follows COVID-19 protocols and has her mask on for the entire massage. Most importantly, Talya is very compassionate and came to help me out when my car battery died and I was stranded outside in the 14 degree weather post massage. Will definitely recommend Talya to everyone I know!

Talya is an excellent massage therapist! I've seen her frequently for about five months to address specific problems and the massages really helped. She goes deep when she finds a tight spot! My husband prefers a different style and she adjusted her method accordingly. She's very responsive and I recommend her highly. Also, she's VERY careful about COVID and I feel safe in her space.

Talya is a gifted and outstanding massage therapist. I'd only received massages very occasionally in the past but find my massages with Talya so beneficial that I've made it a regular practice since my first visit several months ago. Talya's massages are not merely relaxing, they are therapeutic. For example, I had a lingering pain in my elbow that I was pretty sure was tendonitis but after a session with Talya it disappeared. Her space is clean and comfortable and Talya takes her Covid precautions seriously, which I find reassuring. Talya has my highest recommendation.

Talya is the best massage therapist I have encountered. She is highly professional, always pleasant, and thoroughly knowledgable about her skills. I have turned to her for help repeatedly over a twenty year period, whenever I have had issues with injuries or pain associated with a chronic illness. Most recently she managed to soothe neck pain following an accident. Talya always gives the impression of taking genuine satisfaction in her profession and in solving problems.
I find the atmosphere she creates in her spacious and spotless massage room to be calming, restorative and deeply relaxing. The subtle music and scents were just right for me. I recommend her unreservedly.

I have been a client with Talya for 13 years. She is highly skilled and very competent. As a Licensed Massage Therapist, I recognize her ease with varying techniques and attention to detail. Her massages are methodical and professional, with extreme attention to detail and the ability to vary the pressure as needed. She is always "present" and never mechanical, with assured hands that allow for prompt relaxation. I recommend her without reservation.

I am lucky to have found Talya many years ago and have had frequent massages with her since then. She is very skilled at what she does and I can feel the tension melting away while she works on me. These massages are each a little different but all are terrific; they have become an important part of my life.
