Your satisfaction is my number one goal. I firmly believe that massage therapy, whether used as preventative medicine, or in conjunction with more traditional forms of healing, can allow the client to progress to higher levels of physical and emotional well being. Massage therapy gives the body a chance to release stress, pain and emotional fatigue.
Massage has been found to be beneficial for a number of stress related and musculoskeletal conditions. Massage reduces stress and pain, increases flexibility, and range of motion. In addition it increases physical well-being, thus improving body image and self-esteem. Plus, it just feels good! Massage Therapy Boston offers many styles of massage such as Myofascial release, Deep Tissue, Pregnancy and Scar Release therapies.

I having been having massages with Jessica for a few years now and what a difference it has made. She is incredibly talented and knowledgeable about "bad" backs! I used to go once every few months but now I go every 3-4 weeks. Jessica is better than any pain medication I could ever take for my back.
Booking an appointment is very easy. I email her and ask for certain days and she gives me her availability.
If you want to chat, she will and if you want quiet, she gets that too. Her prices are reasonable and she has a Newton office and a Norwood office
Finding Jessica was the best. Now

Jessica's massage business is downstairs in a small office building near Whole Foods on Washington Street. I first went when some of the "deals" were popular (which turned out not to work so well for many businesses). During that time I had massages both with Jessica and another therapist (now moved). I have continued to see Jessica regularly. She is great at addressing specific issues, and will work to get people in if there is an injury or an important need - in fact a lot of her clients seem to have injuries that she works with on an ongoing basis. Jessica is a great masseuse

I had terrible headaches/jaw and neck tension from bruxism and TMJ issues for several years. I had done everything (including regular yoga, dental specialists, orthodontists, massages at fancy spas, even Botox injections) but it wasn't until I was referred to Jessica Bissonnette that I finally experienced some real relief! I only wish I'd gone to her sooner.
I can't recommend Jessica highly enough - She has changed my life.
(side note: You might notice all the low-ranking reviews aren't a reflection of the massage quality -which is consistently excellent.)

I went to see Jessica last night after receiving a less-than-stellar treatment from another business. Having sustained an injury to my shoulder, I went to see Jessica in hopes of getting rid of some of the tightness and pain I had been experienced and she did a wonderful job. There were no issues experienced in booking as described by others, and Jessica was extremely friendly and helpful upon my arrival.
The atmosphere may not look like much, and it is far from a spa-like atmosphere, but the moment you enter the treatment room, you will be lying face-down in a face cradle with your eyes closed

Before buying he Eversave voucher I read the reviews. Seemed like booking was an issue for many, so I checked online booking before my purchase. There was, coincidentally, one available time that worked for me but I noticed, at least with the owner Jessica, that there were times in April total and then nothing else available until well after the voucher expired. I didn't check the dates for the other therapists, so there might have been more availablity there and I was specifically looking for 90-min deep tissue massages so that might have narrowed the available dates.

If I could give Massage Therapy Boston ZERO stars, I would - or at least that is what I would give to its owner, Jessica. She has no business running a business, and in my mind is nothing better than a common scam artist.
I was given two vouchers to Massage Therapy Boston for my birthday, and was really looking forward to using them.
When the time came to book my appointments, there were instructions on her website to book through a special button for Buy With Me customers. Little did I know that this would take me into appointment-scheduling Hell... there were NO appointments available until

If there was a 0 star option, it would be that...
I had a buywithme coupon and was next to impossible to use. I had about 11 days until expirtation date. I called an was told I had to book online. I tired to , and was available almost 24/7 as I am not working now, yet no luck. I called her back and told her that , and she said that I could book for another (read, less costly) service) than what I had paid for. Even THAT wasn't available. She then said she'd extend it, and still there was nothing. In a word, designed to fail! i called BUYWITHME and they were appalled, and refunded me

I'm a dancer, and I started going to Jessica for abdominal scar tissue release therapy because the scar tissue was restricting my core movement. I cannot rave about her enough.
Each session she makes frankly miraculous strides in detaching my long scar from the muscles and bone beneath. With her 'seeing hands' and deep knowledge, she also identifies, and works on, knotted muscle attachments, tension and misalignment that can be a secondary effect of restricted movement. The result is noticeably improved alignment, flexibility, range of motion, and physical comfort - more than I

I went here on a buywithme and it was a great deal. I can give you some straightforward pros and cons though.
Cons first:
(1) Other reviewers are correct - this place is in a dingy Newton basement and there are 2 neighboring massage places, so it's really easy to miss.
(2) It was insanely annoying booking the appointment. Apparently they filled up the schedule almost immediately once the buywithme came out, but still - I couldn't get an appointment for almost 6 weeks after I got the buywithme. I don't remember the exact timeline, but I was definitely irritated about that.

After purchasing a Buywithme coupon for 2 visits, I had such a hard time making an appointment (there were limited slots available and they were all very far in advance). I thought I booked an appointment for a certain day and sent my boyfriend down there, he was told they overbooked and to rebook.
I do not know if it was an error on my part or on their side but we were "reminded" of an appointment that we had not booked, and by the time I called it was too late to cancel. I emailed with Jessica asking what our options were, and by the time she got back to me it was after the appointment

I did not like the hot stone massage I had here. I asked them to concentrate on my back, and the majority of my massage was on the front of my neck/chest!! I have never even been massaged in these places. It was bizarre. I couldn't wait for my massage to end- what a waste of money. There is also no entrance, receptionist, nothing. I awkwardly walked into another company's business meeting. There should be clearer directions to get into this dungeon. It is also lacking in appearance. There is no spa ambiance, and the lights are BRIGHT. It was not relaxing whatsoever. I would not go back

I agree with others that the atmosphere here may not be up to Newbury Street spa standards, but Jessica gives a fantastic massage. I am kind of sensitive to too much pressure so asked her for avoid deep tissue methods. She was very responsive to my request, which was obviously great, but also gave THE best light pressure massage I've ever received. She somehow got out all the knots in my back while making it very relaxing and soothing.
Highly recommended!

Jessica is soooo nice. I would give her personality and customer service 5 stars for sure... but sadly the massage was not the best I've had. It pains me to say it, because she is a GREAT person, but I have to tell the truth in a review. Luckily there are many other reviews from other people that say her massage was awesome, so only take my word as a grain of salt since I am only one person, just one opinion. Maybe her way is just not how I like my massages... but it suits so many other people.
I bought two of those online deals. One for myself, and one for my boyfriend. We intended

I just had a 90 minute swedish with Jessica. I think it tops all other swedish massages i have ever had. she has the most perfect touch - just the right amount of pressure to make all your nerves tingle with happiness. to add to this great touch she has, Jessica also has a great energy, kind of earth mother-y and warm. this feeling comes through during the massage - some therapists can seem distracted, or like they are just going through the motions or rushing, but Jessica seems to operate in the moment and you can actually feel the care in her touch. highly recommend.

Booking an appointment has been a huge hassle. We had a BuyWithMe coupon there was only ONE weekend day available between now (early May) and the end of JULY. Unless these massages are performed by the Messiah, I'm not sure it'll be worth it. Who knows if your back is going to hurt on a particular day two months from now?

This was an incredible deep tissue massage! I had a skiing accident in 2002 that left me with whiplash. I did physical therapy at the time and live most days without any serious pain but my neck and shoulders are always tight. I also have lingering inflammation and tightness in my lower back from a more recent injury which I have also spent significant time rehabbing.
Jessica was sensitive to these injuries and spent extra time on the spots working to really release the knots and tension. I walked out of the office feeling significantly better than when I entered. It has been a few days and I

I had the most amazing massage at MTB. Jessica was the therapist and she worked out every kink I had in my body...and I had a lot. Even though I had a deep tissue massage, she made me comfortable and completely relaxed. I highly recommend going here and I am so glad I discovered it with Buy With Me!

It's true. When you enter the building at 701 Washington it's bare, dimly lit and not the most welcoming place. This is no high end spa.
But when you walk down to the lower level Jessica has the area set up cutely and it's clean with some nice music playing. It was blustery outside when I arrived so crawling on to the heated massage bed was spot-on.
I went with my husband because we got the coupons (buywithme I think) so that's the only reason we'd travel to Newton from Weymouth...and I can't wait to go back, even though there are tons of places on the South Shore
