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 opened KnotionMend to create a space where care feels personal, unhurried, and intentional. A place where your body is given the time and attention it needs to truly respond.

This practice exists because of the people who believed in me, encouraged me, and trusted me with their care along the way.

As a newly opened practice, KnotionMend currently has more open availability, making it easier to book without long wait times while still receiving the same focused, individualized care I’ve provided throughout my career.

Location + independence

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.
Your appointment, your session, and your care are booked directly through me in a private treatment room.

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

Care, by design

KnotionMend was built around care that feels personal and unrushed. Buffer time is intentionally built into the schedule so sessions begin smoothly, end calmly, and give you my full attention from start to finish.

This structure helps me stay present, consistent, and focused session after session, and gives your body the space it needs to settle and respond.

Pressure that works with your body

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

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

• 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 recurring, you don’t have to wait until it gets worse.

My approach

My work is simple, consistent, and tailored to you, with an emphasis on listening to your body and adjusting in real time.

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

Some clients come in for focused therapeutic work. Others come in to relax, decompress, and reset. Both are equally welcome here.

Techniques and modalities I use

Every session is customized. Depending on what your body needs, I may incorporate:

Foundational styles

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

Targeted techniques

• Myofascial release (tension patterns and restricted movement)
• Trigger point therapy / NMT (knots, referred pain, 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)

Enhancements (by request or when appropriate)

• Cupping
• IASTM (muscle scraping)
• Hot stones
• Aromatherapy

If you have preferences, let me know. If you don’t, that’s completely fine. I’ll guide the session based on your goals and what I’m feeling in the tissue.

Common rhythms

Weekly
Best for a short season of care when pain, tension, or stress feels high, or when working through a stubborn pattern.

Every 2 to 3 weeks
Great for chronic tension, training recovery, or steady results without buildup between visits.

Every 3 to 4 weeks
Ideal for maintenance and posture-related strain when your body tightens back up on a predictable schedule.

Once a month
Supportive for general wellness, relaxation, and stress relief, and helps prevent tension from slowly accumulating.

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

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 practice. All sessions are non-sexual in nature. Inappropriate behavior or requests result in immediate termination of the session and future booking will not be permitted.
