What can I say. I LOVE Joanie! She is incredibly skilled. She is one of my primary healers. If I need deep tissue work because I worked too hard, she heals me. If I need nourishing touch to soften a dark time, she heals me. My sessions keep getting longer because I don't want to leave! If you're reading this review- book now!

Joanie is awesome! I just got my third massage from her and am definitely going to keep seeing her regularly. She is great about checking in to see what to focus on each session and on my comfort level throughout the massage. She has helped release some deep tension and has recommended stretches for in between visits. Joanie also has a kind, warm and comforting presence. I can't recommend her enough!

Joanie is a miracle worker. Her energy and expertise were exactly what I needed after a long stressful experience with the pandemic. Her bodywork was truly amazing, and put me precisely in the right space. Thank you!

Joanie is incredibly gifted with her work! Whenever I see her it is hands down the best massage I have ever received. She has a wonderful intuition with regard to what your body needs and where you need some extra love and attention. I highly recommend Joanie and Blossom Āyurveda!

Joanie was thoroughly amazing. She has an incredibly kind spirit, is very knowledgeable and she instilled a confidence in me simply by the gentle way in which she exudes her own. Since this was my first treatment, she spoke to me about all aspects of what was to come, asked me questions and answered all of mine. She is a professional through and through, as well as a skilled healer. This treatment far and away exceeded any expectations I may have had. It was hands-down, the most relaxing and blissfully intoxicating experience I’ve ever had and I cannot wait to go back. Two days later, I still feel calm, grounded and utterly peaceful. Thank you so much, Joanie, for sharing your gift with me!

I loved it all! It was the best thing in the world! No joke. The one thing I noticed to just compare the difference in my experiences with this kind of massage, ( not being critical just observation ) between the Ayurvedic Center of Vermont is the use of more oil.. I wanted to say something but didn't.. I think a little less friction with more oil would have worked better for my inflammation and tenderness.. it also would be easier on your joints in the long run.. but overall it was an incredible experience! Thank you so so much!!

Joanie was absolutely amazing. She took the time to speak with me regarding my body, the type of pressure and massage I prefer, and how meditation, yoga, and specific exercises could help with my ongoing back pain. Joanie made me feel comfortable to be completely authentic and open with her. I highly recommend Joanie as a fabulous massage therapist and grounded and centered yoga instructor. I always enjoy time spent with her!

Joanie is an artist. I am so impressed by her skill at finding the problem areas and making them disappear. It was one of the most relaxing deep tissue massages I have ever had. I will definitely be recommending her to everyone!

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 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.
