Namaste Massage

Namaste Massage welcomes you in with its warm, inviting and serene decor. It's a gorgeous space. And a massage with Jess is like no other! She has a warm and wonderful personality and impeccable professionalism. As she works her magic and seamlessly melts away areas of tension, I feel myself melting into the lofty puff of flannel sheets and quilting lightly surrounding me on the very wide and comfortable massage table. It's heaven! I completely let go and as I get off the table I feel longer, wider and so very peaceful. I feel her intent and care every step of the way. Jess gives an awesome massage which is absolutely second to none! Pros: Beautiful relaxing space, awesome massage therapy, parking Cons: None - it's a great experience more

I am a forty year old woman from Ridgewood, NJ. I was staying in Boston for business and found Namaste Massage on city search, booked an appointment, and discovered the absolute best massage I have ever received! Jess found every knot and stress point and managed to rejuvenate my entire body! I did not have the typical next day massage pain and I managed to make the drive back from Boston to Ridgewood without my usual aches and pains. I was able to find Namaste with ease despite not knowing the area. The atmosphere (sounds, decoration, lighting, etc) was very relaxing, and the massage was just the best ever. Thank you Jess! Wish you would move closer to Ridgewood, NJ! Pros: Massage, atmosphere, location more

I just had my first massage today and am looking forward to my next. My massage therapist, Jess, did an outstanding job and made sure I was completely relaxed, comfortable, and at ease. The location is great (short distance from the highway), the decor of the office is so peaceful with dim lighting and tranquil music. Jess was so personable and had no problem finding my trouble spots and took care of all of my tension and tight spots. I loved that there were no distractions here compared to other spas/salons where there is so much other noise going on. I definitely appreciate that Namaste specializes in massage and does it very well. I will make sure to book my next massage soon. Pros: Service, Atmosphere, Professional, Comfortable more

I'm new to Lexington and was referred to Jess at Namaste. I couldn't get an appointment with her, so I tried Marilu. At this point, I've had massages with both Marilu and Ana. They were excellent. Both therapists spent time with me, listening to what was giving me discomfort and then provided wonderful treatments. They're different from each other, but both did very deep work. Both found my sore spots and both worked very smoothly, moving from one part of my body to the next. I'm very happy with Namaste Massage and would recommend it to anyone looking for either a good deep tissue massage or a relaxation massage. Pros: talented therapists, very nice, good listeners, easy to find, easy parking Cons: none more

If you are in need of a good massage, look no further. In fact, “great”, “awesome” or “exhilarating” would be more appropriate descriptions. Whether you prefer deep pressure or a more gentle massage, Namaste will deliver. You could call me a massage junkie. I have literally had hundreds of massages, many in some of the finest resorts in the country, and places like Thailand, Italy and Hawaii. One thing is consistent throughout of all of my experiences - I’ve not found a single massage therapist that compares to Jess. She has unparalleled skill, knowledge and interpersonal warmth, which when put all together truly make for a phenomenal therapeutic experience as well as a lasting relationship. I have referred numerous friends and family members to Namaste Massage – all of varying massage preferences – and all expectations were exceeded. Many of my referrals have gone on to send their own referrals as well. If you don’t try Namaste, you are missing out! more

Today I received my first deep tissue massage from Sarah and honestly it was heaven. She listened attentively as I described where the tender areas on my body were and with care and caution attended to those areas. She was kind, attentive and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a relaxing and truly great massage! Pros: Relaxing Enviornment, Great Staff! more

I was given a gift certificate to Namaste Massage and went last Saturday. It was a great experience. The place is beautiful; very serene and peaceful. The massage therapist was very welcoming and friendly. My boyfriend came with me and had fun roaming around town for an hour. The massage was excellent. The pressure was very deep and very relaxing. I went into a zone and didn't want to come out. The hour went by much too quickly, but aside from that the whole experience was divine. I highly recommend this place and will definitely go back. Pros: Great parking. Beautiful office space; serene and peaceful. Comfortable place to sit and have a cup of tea. Cons: none more

I have been going to Jess for massages for a while now. I used to go to another massage place until a friend insisted I try her. I was positive I was with someone who was perfect for me but I went to namaste just to get my friend off my back. I HAVE NEVER LOOKED BACK! Jess was AMAZING! I had spots on my shoulder blades that had hurt since I was young...those little achy muscles drove me crazy forever. One hour with her and the pain was GONE. I never asked her to work on them but she just seemed to know where all my sore spots were and worked them out with such ease. She found each and every part of my body that hurt and I left there in a state of bliss. That was the first time. I soon was seeing her once a month for regular massages and really got to know her. Jess is such a sweet caring person. She is funny and intelligent and I love the times we spend chatting as she starts to work her magic. She is just incredible. The new place she put together is so beautiful and relaxing and I'm thinking of trying to hire her to decorate my house too! :) If you are looking for the best massage around do yourself a favor and try Namaste just once. You will never go anywhere else again! Pros: Best massage you will ever have! Beautiful new office. So relaxing. Cons: NONE AT ALL more

I have been going to Jess at Namaste Massage for several years, and have found her to be one of the best massage therapists I've ever had. (As a healing practitioner myself, I am pretty picky!) Last week I had the pleasure of having a massage with Juliana, Namaste's newest therapist, and it was WONDERFUL! Juliana is a gifted bodyworker. She is gentle and firm at the same time, that perfect combination that makes for an excellent massage. She asked the right questions and listened to my answers: she really paid attention to my needs. She is also a lovely person; easy to talk to and easy-going and sharp! I am so happy to have another fantastic massage therapist at Namaste to refer my clients to! The new space is just beautiful and makes you feel like you just walked into a spa! I am so glad Namaste moved to Lexington!!! Pros: Beautiful space, excellent practitioners, convenient, good parking more

Finding Namaste Massage is the best thing that's happened to me in weeks! I called because I'm working on this incredibly stressful project and I just needed some down time and stress relief for my aching neck and shoulders. My usual massage therapist was booked and Namaste was able to fit me in (amazing, because I hear that you have to book these busy therapists weeks in advance!). There is great parking behind the building, and the building gives no hint of the oasis awaiting inside. The office is on the second floor and the moment you walk in you know you are somewhere special. The space is beautiful, calm, and welcoming. It is homey - like I wish my home looked like this! And at the same time it's professional and impeccably clean. Great massage tables, beautiful sheets and quilts on the massage table. The massage therapist who worked on me (I think she is the newer one) asked me questions about how I was feeling and what needed attention, and she followed through on every comment I made, asking along the way if she was getting at the spots that were aching, was the pressure good, etc. Just gently asking for feedback, and I knew she was really trying to work on me in a focused, healing way. Amazing. Honestly, I can't imagine going anywhere else, so now I've got to figure out if I'm going to drop my previous massage therapist and continue at Namaste. Actually, it's not an "if" question, it's a "when" question! Just a great experience. Pros: GREAT massage, beautiful space, easy parking Cons: Not on public transportation more

I've been on yoga retreats to Costa Rica where they employ body workers that are absolutely incredible. Jess, the proprietor of Namaste Massage, is as good or better than any of them. She has that rare mixture of excellence with the "feel" part of the massage along with the intellectual part- the knowledge of muscular and skeletal systems. Her new business space in Lexington is beautiful and comfortable, well worth the drive from wherever you live in the Boston area. My opinion is that once you try Namaste, you'll never go anywhere else for a massage. Pros: Easy to get there, easy to park, great massage Cons: none more

I have known Jess & Namaste Massage for a couple years now and I am glad to follow them to the new location in Lexington. At first I thought, how can an equally or more beautiful space be created after I experienced the calm and protection of the Arlington rooms ... but Jess has outdone herself. The space is open, and beautiful (truly soothing colors and design choices) and I feel completely at home. My next challenge was to try someone new ... Jess feels like the best to me, how could I try someone else? Jess' appointments fill up quickly and my available time is often last-minute. Jess recommended I try her new therapist, Juliana. I trust Jess, so I trust the suggestion. The results? Juliana was SUPERB. She was kind, thorough, much stronger than her small frame suggests -- and she not only respected my limits, if I told her pressure felt like too much, but she encouraged me to breathe through discomfort for my benefit (which I truly wanted for relief of knotted muscle). Juliana was also respectful of quiet, talking when I talked, allowing peace when I didn't. Finally, I could clearly tell that Jess had trained Juliana, in similar techniques, style and attention. Jess trained her well! I highly recommend Namaste Massage (Jess & Juliana interchangably) to anyone who wants a professional, caring, meaningful massage. Pros: Massage skill; parking Cons: None! more

I have had many massages in my time, and few compare to my experience with Juliana at Namaste Massage. She had an obvious intuition about how to best treat my aches and pains. She managed to find even the smallest aching muscles and smooth them to satisfaction. If you are looking for a serious therapeutic massage, Namaste Massage is the best kept secret in Lexington! Pros: Atmosphere, music, convenient parking more

I had a pretty bad massage from the new person. Went through a kind of formal process of asking me my preferences, then just ignored them when doing the massage. [Also, as they offer the coupon through citysearch and talked about it a lot--something gave me the sense all these positive reviews aren't legit. Going back, all the reviews that I checked were from people whose review of this place, is there only one. Fishy...) Pros: Easy parking Cons: Bad massage more

All good things come to an end. I went based on a positive recommendations here 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 adapt at all (e.g., by doing things with my on my side or back). To add a little insult to injury, manner of masseuse was "off"--highly defensive and a little too high-strung to be someone you can relax with. On the positive side, nice music, tastefully decorated office, and for the 15 minutess I staid, I could tell the masseuse did have "good hands" if you were just looking for a full body, relaxing massage and didn't have special needs. Still, unprofessional to want to charge full-rates with someone who was at the level of a trainee at a massage school.." Pros: Nice atmosphere Cons: Undertrained staff more

A very comfortable, clean, peaceful environment. Very positive energy. I appreciate check-in and consult prior to massage. The objectives I express are alway addressed (and exceeded) whether they are to relieve stress and relax, or to address specific back or muscle pain. Jess has a way of finding spots that I don't realize were tense or strained. I massage techniques are gentle and fluid. I leave feeling very relaxed and peaceful...and the benefit does seem to last longer than other massages I've experienced. I have been 100% satisfied with my experience at Namaste Massage, and recommend it to anyone seeking to relax and/or to maintain good health. Pros: Qualified and kind practitioner, excellent massage techniques, Great ambience more

I run a very stressful business and travel considerably. Jess helps me cope with it all. I can feel myself already start to relax as I travel to my appointment. I am not sure how she does it, but Jess seems to have an uncanny ability to identify the areas in my back and shoulders that are most in need of attention. Though she is a delight to talk to, we quickly silence ourselves as she works her magic. As the massage begins, I find she quickly hones in on the areas of greatest need and very soon I descend into the mental abyss I've learned to enjoy with her. I drift in and out of that magical zone that is somewhere between deep sleep and partial consciousness as my body repairs itself from the past week of abuse. And all too soon, I realize my time with Jess draws to a close, as she finishes our 90 minute session. What a shame, as our schedules inhibit our ability to get together in less than a month. Such is the life of a popular massage therapist! Pros: very convenient and easy to find more

I had been searching for a great massage therapist in Cambridge / Arlington / Lexington / Somerville for about two years. A friend recommended Jess and Namaste and I felt like I'd found the source of the Nile. Honestly, Jess is the best massage therapist I've found in all my travels. She is strong and very experienced, and she has a sixth sense about what I need each time I see her. Her space is calming and each beautiful object seems to be in exactly its right place. Her massage table is incredibly comfortable - seems larger and more comfortable than others. No matter how stressed or tired I am when I walk in, I'm totally mellow and energized when I walk out. Jess has great, powerful hands and a deep understanding of who needs what. She's that good. Plan ahead - she is booked out, but Jess is WELL worth the wait. I now book 2 or 3 appts at a time to make sure I can see her at least monthly. Pros: Great massage EVERY time; easy parking; hot stone massage to die for more

Jess is a massage therapist you need to book well in advance, unless you're lucky enough to call on a day when she's had a cancellation. It took me awhile to get an appointment with her, but when I finally got in, it was well worth the wait! Now I understand why she's in such high demand. This was truly the best massage I've ever had and I've had many over the past 20 years. When Jess is working it feels as though she has six hands. Her work is fluid and very deep. It's therapeutic and at times intense, but when she's finished it feels like you've just had 8 hours of deep rest. This was a healing experience for me. I left feeling a little more possibility in my life and more able to face my day. It's so hard to find a really good massage therapist who actually does the deep work they say they do. Jess does and I was delighted. Pros: Deep Massage, highly skilled, very warm and friendly, lovely location, feels like home, easy street parking Cons: none more

I went to Jess awhile ago and have no words to explain my treatment---but for the sake of the review, I'll try :) She spent a good amount of time getting to know my health history, my body, and my needs/wants. Then came the best part....she used very capable and delicate hands to palpate and seek out the areas in my body that needed her the most. She used a very simple and professional 'check-in' technique: she assigned numeric value to her pressure and told me not to be over a certain number. In this way, I was able to tailor the massage to my exact needs, without feeling interupted or uncomfortable. On a side note, her office is AMAZING!!!!! As a student of massage therapy, I am definitely hoping to model my work after her! Ok, so go see her! It will be WELL worth the time, money, and little effort! Pros: great massage, great practice! more
