What Clients Are Saying

-Andrew

"The time I've spent working with Alice over the past few years has been one of the best investments I've made in myself. As an active 55yo, regular therapeutic massage with Alice has helped me continue to participate in a range of physical activities/sports. She is a passionate problem solver."

-Maxine

"An incomparable and multi-talented practitioner, Alice has treated every issue I've had (including pre- and post-surgical situations) with enormous creativity and sustained focus. She listens carefully and seeks to educate as well as treat, so that along with improved mobility and the lessening of pain, I've learned a lot from her. I feel fortunate to be among those who benefit from her thoughtful and adept care."

-Alex

"After one of my treatments with Alice I said ' you make me feel younger', As a 69 year old nana I am still enjoying running, swimming, cross country skiing, doing what puts a smile on my face."

-Greg

"If you have the opportunity to work with Alice you should! Quite simply she is the most effective, committed and talented massage therapist I have worked with. I have made more progress in the few months I have worked with Alice that I have in years elsewhere. Outstanding, and totally unique in approach & results."

-S.G.W.

“Alice knows muscles! She is excellent at teaching you to listen to your body, and gives great care and attention to your feedback as she progresses through the massage. She also listens carefully to your personal health/injury history and uses it to inform and target her massage. She helped release some tight muscles surrounding an old shoulder injury, and gently released significant tension that I was holding in my neck and shoulders. She also educates her patients in habits contributing to muscular health, and has many practical and easily-implemented suggestions. I recommend her to all my friends and family.”

-Patrick M

“Alice was completely knowledgeable about muscle groups and fibers. Her instructions were clear. She took excellent account of work and sports history. She was interactive and answered all questions in a way that I could understand. Happy with her attention to detail.”

-Michael M

“I've been going to Alice for over 3 years now, and her message therapy is very helpful for the back issues I have had. I've found that the sessions with her have allowed me to continue my cycling while reducing pain issues. Highly recommended.”

-Tennis Player

“I have been playing tennis for many years and noticed that my legs just did not feel springy anymore and that my whole body felt stiff. When a fellow tennis player told me about the amazing work Alice does, I gave it a try. More than a year later I have to say I learned a lot about my body and I feel that the muscles in my legs are again doing what they are supposed to. Shins are not supposed to hurt when you walk up the stairs and when you try to stretch your hamstring, your quad should not engage. Needless to say that's what my legs did without me noticing. Before working with Alice I would stretch without results, because the right muscles just would not spring into action.

I highly recommend Alice, she has truly helped me a lot.”

-Former Violin Player

“Being a former violin player of 11 years, I never expected to develop everyday chronic shoulder and neck pain from hours of playing. Alice has been able to get rid of the constant pain by releasing tension starting on the forearms and working towards the neck. I would never have made that connection, but feel so much looser and better now. She also gives you advice on which exercises might be helpful to maintain your newfound mobility.”

-Karen

"Over 5 years ago, I was planning a hike up Mt. Whitney. My knees were very sore and I was worried about making the climb. A friend suggested I see Alice. I had sessions about 3x/month for several months and I was able to make the climb, pain free! I continued to see Alice 2x/month to relieve back pain from my tight muscles. This is not a spa massage. Alice works hard and you work with her to really get to the root of your issues. She’s a miracle worker and knows her stuff. She also gives you suggestions for your own self-care – because she truly cares about you and your health. I just had my first therapeutic massage with Alice since the COVID-19 shutdowns and I was so relieved and glad to be back. I highly recommend Alice!"

 

- C.H.

“I've benefited from Alice's personalized muscle massage therapy for over a decade. She keeps me pain‑free in spite of my age and severe scoliosis. I can continue to hike, dance, swim, cross‑country ski, and enjoy my life.”

- Bob, 50‑year veteran musician (guitarist, pianist, organist)

“Alice tunes up overworked arms by reactivating muscles, from the fingertips to the neck. She eradicates the nagging pain between the shoulder blades. I recommend all musicians try this unique approach to improve their practice/playing pain‑free!”
