I loved my first visit with Joanie. I left feeling so validated and hopeful, and I really appreciated her warm, attuned, collaborative approach to making recommendations rooted in Ayurvedic wisdom. Can’t wait to see what’s ahead and looking forward to continuing our work!

The only thing I really didn't care about was having oil in my hair. That being said, my hair looks amazing. So healthy. It would be good to mention this prior to the massage.

Marisa went above and beyond to make sure my mom and I were comfortable and felt relaxed. She made tea and a foot bath when one of us was waiting for the other’s massage. Her friendly, easy going personality created a warm environment where stress and worry dissipated.

The room was very calming, which made me feel at home. I love the trifecta of crystals, air, and water that they have to balance the room. Marisa’s calming touch was perfect to helping me find my way to what I needed. I would highly recommend her.

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!

Joanie is the real deal. A healer that was able to tailor her skills to meet my body where it was at. She gently pushed into areas where I was holding and helped me to tune in and release.

This was my first massage, and I completely underestimated just how helpful this therapy can be. I had some significant neck ache for quite a while, and the relaxation massage really helped me get full range of motion back. Absolutely want to come back soon.

This was by far the best massage I have ever had and I've been getting monthly treatments for over 30 years. The Ayurvedic hot oil massage was so balancing. My senses with heightened and turned into pure joy. I left Joanie feeling energized and balanced. I highly recommend Joanie as a massage therapist.

Service Received: Shirodhara - mind balancing treatment with Joanie B.
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.

Joanie is one of the most amazing Massage therapists! She has such a beautiful heart and soul and brings this incredible care into her work. It was an experience of deep healing Ayurveda style. Joanie puts all this love and care with such slow loving, meditative intention into each Massage. I feel like a different person since I had my massage yesterday! I am much more grounded and the stress has somehow vanished! I cannot wait to come back for another one. Thank you Joanie! Meg.
