KnotionMend is my independently owned, private massage therapy practice and a long-time dream brought to life.

After nearly a decade as a licensed massage therapist, I created KnotionMend to offer care that feels personal, unhurried, and intentional. My goal is to give your body the time and attention it needs to truly respond, whether you are coming in for focused therapeutic work, stress relief, or simply a chance to reset.

KnotionMend is located inside Whole Health & Wellness in Woburn, Massachusetts, alongside an integrative care team led by Dr. Mary Medwar. While I work alongside the clinic team, KnotionMend operates fully independently, which means your appointment, your session, and your care are booked directly through me in a private treatment room.

If you are looking for massage that feels calm, thoughtful, and tailored to you, you are in the right place.

My Approach

My work is grounded in listening carefully, working intentionally, and adjusting in real time based on what your body needs.

• Slow, intentional techniques
• Clear communication and consent
• Respect for the nervous system
• Ongoing adjustments based on your feedback

I offer light, medium, firm, and deep pressure, always applied gradually and with intention.

Massage does not need to hurt to be effective.

The goal is to help your body release, not brace.

Quiet is welcome. Conversation is welcome. You set the tone.

What I Commonly Work With

Clients often come in for support with:

• Chronic tension and stiffness
• Neck, shoulder, and low back discomfort
• Postural strain from work and daily life
• Nerve-related tension patterns, including sciatic-style tightness
• TMJ tension and headaches
• Stress, burnout, and nervous system overload
• Training recovery and overuse patterns
• Foot, calf, hip, and leg tightness, including plantar fascia patterns
• Restricted mobility, including frozen-shoulder patterns

If something feels familiar or keeps returning, you do not have to wait until it gets worse.

Techniques and Modalities

Every session is customized based on your goals and what your body needs that day. Depending on the session, I may incorporate:

Foundational Styles

• Therapeutic massage (clinical, goal-focused work)
• Swedish massage (relaxation, circulation, and nervous system support)
• Sports massage (recovery, performance support, and overuse patterns)

Targeted Techniques

• Myofascial release (tension patterns and restricted movement)
• Trigger point therapy / NMT (knots, referred pain, and stubborn tightness)
• Lymphatic techniques (gentle work to support fluid movement and swelling)
• Craniosacral therapy (quiet, subtle work for deep nervous system down-regulation)
• Reflexology (foot-based nervous system support and full-body relaxation)

Optional Add-Ons

• Cupping
• Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (Muscle Scraping)
• Hot stones
• Aromatherapy

If you have preferences, let me know. If you do not, that is completely fine. I will guide the session based on your goals and what I am feeling in the tissue.

Memberships are Available ⭐

Consistent care creates a supportive rhythm and allows each session to build on the last.

Many people wait until stress or tension has already piled up. Membership clients take a more proactive approach while also locking in a better rate.

With consistent care, clients often notice:

• Less tension building between visits
• A calmer, more regulated nervous system
• Better recovery from daily stress and activity
• Results that last longer after each session

Membership Includes

• One session credit per month (60 or 90 minutes)
• Credits roll over for up to 12 months
• No contract. Pause or cancel anytime
• Additional sessions at the discounted member rate

⭐ To enroll: Click “Deals” at the top of the page or ask during your visit.

Common Booking Rhythms

There is no one perfect frequency. We can adjust based on how your body responds and what feels sustainable.

• Weekly for a short season of care when pain, tension, or stress feels high
• Every 2 to 3 weeks for chronic tension, training recovery, or steady progress without buildup
• Every 3 to 4 weeks for maintenance and posture-related strain
• Once a month for general wellness, relaxation, and stress relief

Referral Thank You

As a thank-you for supporting my practice, anyone who refers a new client will receive a $20 gift certificate after the referred client completes their first session.

One referral thank-you per new client.

Comfort, Privacy, and Professionalism

Your comfort and privacy come first.

• Undress in private to your comfort level
• Professionally draped at all times
• Only the area being worked on is uncovered
• Preferences can be shared at any point

KnotionMend is a strictly professional, therapeutic massage practice. All sessions are non-sexual in nature. Any inappropriate behavior or requests will result in immediate termination of the session, the full session fee will be charged, and future booking privileges will be revoked.

Booking Details

Appointments are booked directly through KnotionMend, not the Whole Health & Wellness front desk.

• Online booking available 24/7
• Call or text: (978) 219-7240
• Location: 800 West Cummings Park, Suite 4700, 4th Floor, inside Whole Health & Wellness

Card on File

A card is required to reserve an appointment. It is used only to hold the scheduled time and helps protect the practice from last-minute cancellations and no-shows.

Payment and Insurance Information

• I do not bill insurance directly
• HSA and FSA cards are accepted
• Superbills are available upon request for possible out-of-network reimbursement

Reimbursement depends on your plan, so I recommend confirming coverage directly with your insurance provider.

Cancellation Policy

Because your appointment time is reserved specifically for you, cancellations or reschedules must be made at least 24 hours in advance.

• 24+ hours’ notice: No fee
• Less than 24 hours’ notice or no-show: 100% of the scheduled session fee

If you arrive late, your session may need to be shortened to respect the next scheduled appointment. The full session fee will still apply.

In rare, true emergency situations, exceptions may be made at my discretion.

You’re Welcome Here

Whether you are managing something ongoing, recovering from stress, training hard, or simply wanting to feel more at ease in your body, you are welcome here.

I truly look forward to working with you and supporting you through your care.
