She applied just the right pressure and relieved my muscle tightness. So nice. I sure she would have talked to me during my session if I had wanted but she was so quiet and allowed me to relax and enjoy. Cant wait to see her again.

Marisa was extremely compassionate, patient, and listened to my concerns and goals for treatment. She also gave me a level of insight on Ayurveda that I was sorely missing from a somewhat hodgepodge home practice I had put together from the Internet while also recognizing the work I had done and acknowledged the value of what I had already accomplished and figured out on my own. A very meaningful consultation and warm encounter with an Ayurvedic professional and I look forward to returning!

That it was overwhelmingly delicious and exceeded my expectations. I've never had abhyanga but it is the Definition of massage. The best thing EVER. I wish I had money to A) give one of these massages to my friends and family, and B) to get one every three weeks. Well... maybe every two weeks. Even once a month would be awesome.

I am so grateful to have encountered Marisa selling her magical elixirs in Burlington as I am not sure I would have ever ventured 45 minutes to Montpelier to get a massage without that encounter. It's hard to imagine going to any other space for bodywork at this point. Such great energy, professionalism, and kindness.

The room was quiet and the entire space felt very calm. It was clean and seemed well attended to. Very professional.
I did wonder how it would go for people who have mobility issues with those stairs, but I also wouldn't trade that space and those windows for something on the ground floor. Being up high made a big difference somehow.

My daughter and I had a lovely, relaxing get away in Montpelier. The location of Blossom Ayurveda was perfect for us to park and check out the great shops in Montpelier, then get treated to amazing massages from Marisa. The old train station has character and the cozy rooms were warm and inviting with nourishing simple decorations and very clean!

I would say that Blossom is a wonderful location tucked away where you wouldn’t expect to find it in the old train station. Marisa greeted us at the door and immediately i felt taken care of before my massage even began. All of the aspects of the massage: hot oil, music, warm towels, hand pressure, flowed together perfectly and was exactly what I was looking for in the “relaxation choice” on a cold March day. Absolutely no complaints or worries!

I honestly didn’t pay much attention to the way things looked so much as how it felt when I walked in, although I did notice that everything was clean and many precautions had been taken in leu of COVID. I instantly felt at ease and comfortable upon walking in, especially meeting Joanie who gently and graciously welcomed me. At times, the sounds of traffic outside were quite loud, which could not be avoided but these were brief distractions since the treatment was powerful enough to pull my attention away from mundane things.
Overall, I was impressed by the cleanliness of the place and felt very comfortable while I was there.
