While I was a freshman at Northwestern Connecticut College I got my first massage after falling off of my horse at a horse show. I was amazed how much it helped me heal after having such a traumatic fall, I was hooked. After experiencing how much massage helped my own body I decided to share that experience with many people and attend massage school. 2000 I started massage school. School lead the down paths how to live a health life. For example I have been a student of yoga since 2000. The lessons I have learned from my yoga practice I always bring to the table.
After I finished school I work for various establishment in Central Mass till I decided to open my own office in August 2009. I am currently continuing my education in Reiki & Myofascial Release.

I have been going to Jess for about 5 or 6 years (on and off). I first went with severe shoulder/neck pain from super tight muscles (bound by tight fascia) after a car accident years ago. Jess had me on the floor digging in and breaking it up (I was cursing to myself on the inside - but it felt painfully awesome) and I left feeling like a new woman!
Since then I have been back a few times a year when it acts up and sometimes just because. I recently sent my daughter for a half hour and she left demanding a full hour. :-) Of course we sent her back for the full hour. As an athlete - my daughter does rigorous workouts almost every day combined with contortionist like tumbling... we found the massage really works to even her hips and loosen up her back and legs.
In regards to other reviews saying it wasn't relaxing - this isn't a spa. There is no relaxation massage on her website (I guess you could count aromatherapy - but unless it comes with a knee to the back and a little bit of good pain - no thanks)
Definitely recommend Jess!!

I couldn't take my arm and move it above my shoulder. I made an appointment for a 90 minute massage and showed up for some of that Deep Relief I'd heard so much about.
90 minutes later I still couldn't move my arm above my shoulder. The next day? I could throw a watermelon 20 yards. If you need a solid tune up before the state watermelon chucking championship, or if you just hurt and want to stop hurting, Jess will help you out. Her rates are completely affordable, and her staff's work is spectacular. I will be back, I have a giant stack of watermelons to throw.

So this isn't exactly massage to relax. This is a massage for those with chronic pain & severe knots to untangle. Jessica is a petite & soft spoken woman -- but once she starts the kneading & pressure points -- watch out! I had just been in a minor car accident when I saw her. She worked my newly injured shoulder to the point that I had to concentrate on my breathing to get through it -- but when I left, the pain was almost entirely gone from the stiff shoulder.
I'm glad I grit my teeth & let her do her job b/c the end result was worth it. I'll be making more appointments for my sciatic problems -- especially since her rates are so reasonable for the work she is doing.
