OK, so where do I start. My therapist had retired and moved to Florida. So I was searching for a new massage therapist to no avail. Then I came upon body mechanics. Jennifer, was not only polite and accommodating on the phone for a first time visit, but she was extremely knowledgeable. On my first visit she spent time to inquire about any concerns or problems that I was experiencing. Her massage was on point, strong where she needed to be and gentle in the sensitive areas that I was in pain with. On my second visit she introduced me to what I like to call is Little wonder bars. That really made a difference in very sensitive areas in my neck and my left foot. I have now been to her four times and I can tell you that I feel great again.

Jennifer and Nick exemplify quality of care and technique like I have rarely seen. Since I have had sessions with both of them I can tell you first hand that their knowledge, professionalism and continued growth in learning new techniques is why I will never go anywhere else for massage services. Their newest Guilford location is the perfect place for a wedding party pampering or you can do a Mother’s Day pampering with some girlfriends like I did one year. Highly highly recommend you give them a try, promise you want be disappointed.

Positive: Communication, Professionalism, QualityJen is a miracle worker. 6 years ago, I was diagnosed with early on set Parkinson’s Disease. As a result, I have stiffness in my shoulders, back and neck, often, my neck is so tight it results in intense headaches. Thanks to Jen, I have relief from the chronic headaches, and the tightness in my shoulders and back. But her commitment doesn’t stop there, she takes the time to show me stretches I can do on my own to help ease the tightness. Jen is always friendly, polite, compassionate and supportive, always encouraging me to keep doing the things I enjoy regardless of my disease. Without the aid of Jen my disease would be unbearable. I highly recommend her and give her 5 stars!Jen is a miracle worker. 6 years ago, I was diagnosed with early on set Parkinson’s Disease.

Positive: Professionalism, QualityJen is probably the most hygienic and professional person in the entire state of Connecticut. The energy in her room is peaceful and tranquil. From the moment that you walk into the room you feel welcome. I recommend her if you need someone to do your massages, and just to let you know I am a tattoo artist that works 16 hour shifts and haven’t felt this great in over a decade after just one session with her.

Jen is a top notch massage therapist. She does so much more than what I expected – not only with the level of pain relief, but also her knowledge of what can be contributing to ongoing pain and mobility issues. She’s also super easy to chat with and has a professional bedside manner. Literally, the first time I had an appointment was the first time I felt pain-free in 6 months! My work is very active, so ongoing maintenance is becoming a reality as I age, and Jen has become a staple in my self care regiment. She’s not only my massage therapist, but a friend as well. Thanks Jen!

I went here for the first time yesterday and had a wonderful massage with Jen! Her pressure was perfect and you can tell she knows what she’s doing! I feel INCREDIBLE today and I’m pretty picky about massages. The space was clean & I felt very comfortable with COVID protocols. Can’t wait to come back!

I went to see Jen when I was having severe back spasms. I have had these spasms in the past and ended up in bed for weeks. After seeing Jen just once I was up and able to function. She is knowledgeable and takes the time to sit and discuss your issues with you. I am forever grateful to her I will never go anywhere else.
