There is no ¨typical session¨ or massage menu here: each session is created just for you and may incorporate sports massage, prenatal/​postnatal massage, Shiatsu, stretching, and aromatherapy.

The Grateful Body is conveniently located near UMass in North Amherst, in a beautiful, professional, home studio with private parking.

History

Established in 2002.

The Grateful Body is celebrating 12 years of helping people feel better through expert massage and bodywork!

I believe that clients do not have to choose between effective therapeutic massage and a relaxing, regenerative, even transformative experience, and have spent the last decade+ listening to my clients’ needs and developing techniques that are safe, effective, powerful and relaxing.
