I got an hour massage from Jess today and it was amazing! She asked great questions to help identify where I needed the most focus, and I left feeling very relaxed. I chose Namaste based on Yelp reviews, so I wanted to leave one confirming the hype- definitely worth going, and having a very sweet dog in the waiting room was another plus.

I had a foot injury recently and have been using a boot for the past week. I was desperately in need of a massage. I found Namaste on Yelp and took a chance. My experience was wonderful. The place is clean and beautifully furnished. My massage therapist Eileen listened carefully to me explain what my issues were and was able to meet my specific requirements while giving me a relaxing and therapeutic massage. I definitely recommend her her!

Jess is THE BEST massage therapist I have ever experienced. I've tried both deep tissue and hot-stone.
The hot stone was an amazing treat after months of freezing winter weather.
Jess' deep tissue tissue work is phenomenal. She is the only person who had ever been able to release the knots and locked up feeling between my shoulder blades (I work at a computer all day -slouching too much, I'm sure).
She's professional, warm, funny, and incredibly talented.
I refer all of my friends to Jess.
I may be part of the reason that you definitely need to make an appointment!

In the past I have been to many massage places over the years and there is no doubt that Namaste Massage is the best. Their place is beautifully furnished and very relaxing. Lots of attention to detail including scents, sounds and overall comfort level. The massage itself is professional and always well done. Thank you!

My husband purchased a $90 gift certificate for me for Mother's Day at this salon which I had never been to before. He booked me an appointment online and had to book quite far out because there were no weekends available for months. I mistakenly missed my appointment and when Jess emailed me she was rude and unreasonable and would not honor my gift certificate. When I informed her that it is illegal to have an expiration on a gift certificates she rudely acknowledged that they put a date on there that was not enforceable under the law which is misleading to consumers. It has been a while

I tried out several massage places in Boston and the Lexington area and Namaste Massage is undoubtedly the best. Jess really can read your body and works at whatever level you need. She can do simple relaxation massage or hardcore therapeutic massage. Recently I had a problem with spasms and my SI joint that my chiropractor couldn't resolve until Jess worked deeply and very focused on the problem area. I went to the chiropractor and the adjustment was super easy. In addition to her technical skills, Jess is a lovely, empathetic woman who works diligently to accommodate her client's schedules

I've searched high and low for a massage therapist who understands the importance of flow while meeting a client's specific muscle relief requirements.
When I found Jess, I knew I was in good hands [pun intended]. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of places that feature good therapists who do a good job with deep tissue massages (my massage of choice). The difference between these therapists and Jess is that she pays close attention to my preferences for which muscle groups to work on, rather than following an inflexible routine throughout the entire massage.

This was a tie for the best massage of all time. (The other being at a luxury spa in Charleston, SC). It was absolutely phenomenal. Jess is one of those massage therapists that is in tune with your body and can tell which areas need more or less attention and pressure without any indication from the client. I didn't want to get up from the table!
Definitely pricey, but well worth it. I went to Jess because I had a groupon but will definitely go back.

Let me preface what I'm about to say by assuring you that I have had many, many massages in my life with many, many different therapists. I'm not a wide-eyed massage newbie who doesn't know the difference between trigger point and myofascial techniques.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, was hands down the best massage I've ever had in my life.
Jess is simply amazing. She honed right in on my problem areas without me even having to point them out or give any kind of detailed description. I just told her my shoulders and neck were very tense from sitting at a computer all day

This is the place to go if you're in pain and need to feel better. I have been suffering from TMJ for years and need to get a massage at least monthly or I suffer from migraines and dizzyness. I've been through a lot of therapists as it is hard to find the right one. Jess makes you feel comfortable through the whole experience. She is such a warm person and she has healing hands. I have a lot of muscular tension due to a high stress lifestyle and she always releases that for me.
The office is very nice too. It is easy to find; right off of 95 and it has plenty of parking. She offers

Jess is the bee's knees. Super laid back, very talented massage therapist. This place is right around the corner from my work and I bought a coupon from BuyWithMe (best one i have purchased so far!). I will definitely go back, and pay full price, for the Relaxation Massage. It was AMAZING. I went in wondering if i would get the quickie treatment since i bought the coupon and i was her final appointment for the day, but the massage lasted over an hour and was superb.
I will second the other reviewer in saying that this isn't a spa-feeling one stop shop kind of place. You are going

I went back for another (out of this world, amazing) massage a couple months ago, and I was really excited to see that since I'd been there last, they implemented an online appointment system. I was able to see very easily when I could get an appointment with Jess AND be assured that my appointment would be with her and not a different therapist.

Well, I went based on a Yelp recommendation and had a very different experience. In short, it turned out it was for 2 reasons: my massage was with an (undertrained) new assistant, and I was looking for more of a therapeutic massage.
My masseuse had a set routine she couldn't vary from--I had to be face down and she would only touch areas she had been trained on. Unfortunately, this didn't include muscles I knew were tight and causing me trouble (psoas in front of hip). Also, a back problem makes it hard for me to lay face down for too long a period, and the masseuse couldn't
