Paula is a friendly, caring, and skilled practitioner who takes the time to listen to your concerns, learn about your habits, and find a method that best addresses your individual needs. I've gone to her a couple of times now and I plan to keep going - she really cares about how you feel and wants to see you feel better. Plus, wow, she can really put on the pressure if you need it!
One thing I really appreciate about Paula is that, at least according to me, she's very aware of what place massage can and should take in your general health. I've been to masseuses who rant about traditional medicine or otherwise use the time to talk about the superiority of massage to other methods of healing, and that has turned me off in the past. Paula instead talks about the ways massage supplements your routines and exercise, and also how it can complement rather than compete with modern medicine. I called in telling her I recently suffered a neck and back issue, and she very honestly told me if it was muscular she could certainly help me, but if it was skeletal and in the spine itself I would definitely have to see a doctor. I really appreciate that kind of candor - and thank goodness it was a muscle problem!
Paula is very professional and she runs a very small business, dealing with every aspect of it from scheduling to massage itself. Becoming her client is almost like gaining a new friend who takes personal interest in you and remembers your needs. Her office is relaxing and comfortable, and she takes care that no one can even enter the room while your massage is in session. Plus, she offers some great discounts! I get a 25% discount by having health insurance with Aetna, which makes it just over $50 for an hour of incredible massage - basically unheard of.
Go see her!

I've been getting massages from Paula for over 2 years. As a massage therapist, she is intuitive and very talented, homing in on the exact area that needs work and expertly working away the strain and stress. As a person, she is thoughtful, humble, kind and very passionate about her work.
Paula has a side-specialty in relieving the painful symptoms of bruxism (teeth clenching/grinding), from which I suffer. After working the area intensively for 15 minutes, I can't begin to tell you the relief I feel in my jaw and head.
Head to Toe massage is also a great value because Paula wants people to be able to afford massages. She offers substantial discounts on multiple visits as well as discounts to students and to people with certain insurance.

This was my first massage experience outside of a chiropractor's office, and Paula was great! She made the environment extremely relaxing and comfortable. She asked great questions about my body and the location/type of pain I was feeling and made sure to take extra care of those areas. At the end of the appointment, she wrote down notes personalized to our visit to reference at our next appointment. I feel more relaxed and refreshed than I've felt in a long time. Can't wait to go back!

Paula is great! She has a deal for Tufts members, which is fantastic and helps you be able to go on a regular basis. She is very professional and relaxing and I can't wait until my monthly appointment with her! She's very knowledgeable about the body and muscles.

Paula is a professional and a very friendly person that really knows what she is doing in her field. I went to her just this week and found out that she is offering a special for first time clients for the months of Sept. and Oct, $25.00 off her regular price of $70.00 That`s a great savings and unheard of for only $45.00 for a great massage for an hour. She does sports,swedish and deep tissue. I`am going again next week to treat myself again after a long week of to much stress. Do yourself a favor and go see Paula, you will not regret it, she`s is the best!!!! You will feel SO much better and want to go back no matter what the price. GET RID OF THAT TENSON!!! Go see Paula.
