Massage in Jamaica Plain

“Speechless.... Some people are massage therapists and facialists. And then some people are healers.

I went to Karuna hoping for a nice session and walked out inspired. I had my session in february and it was wonderful. Great skin. Beautiful office. Relaxing environment. But I also stayed after to chat with the owner and it kicked off this amazing healing journey.

There's something really special about Michelle and I can't wait to go back for my next session.

I'll also mention that I drove an hour to see her... and the drive was worth it.“

“I had my first massage ever and Christina was AMAZING! I can't believe I've never gotten a massage before and now that I have, I have to keep going back. Highly highly recommend!“

“I cannot recommend Bonnie enough. I hired her as I prepared for a VBAC after two prior C-sections, which felt incredibly scary and full of unknowns for me. From the beginning, she validated those fears while also giving me the confidence and encouragement I needed to believe it was possible.

My labor ended up being long and emotional — nearly two full days — and she stayed by my side the entire time. Her knowledge of labor positioning was incredible. She was constantly helping me find positions that encouraged progress while also paying attention to what felt best for my body. Nothing about her approach felt rigid or “textbook.” She truly supported what felt right for me in the moment.

She also helped me delay my epidural with techniques and coping methods I had never known about, which helped me go much longer than I thought I could. During the hardest moments, she remained calm, positive, and deeply supportive while also holding space for the emotional intensity that comes with a VBAC journey.

Another thing that stood out was how well she worked with everyone in the room. She collaborated seamlessly with the hospital staff and guided my husband in ways that helped him stay involved and supportive, creating a true team environment during labor.

After such a long and emotional experience, I’m incredibly grateful to say I had a successful VBAC2C, and I truly believe her support played a huge role in making that possible. If you’re considering a VBAC, especially after multiple C-sections, having someone like her in your corner is invaluable.“

“Great services and staff.I was always afraid of getting treatments since I didn’t want to feel judged.They made sure that I felt comfortable and treated me like I was family.“

“Working with Karland has been an amazing experience. I've struggled with chronic pain for many years so I've seen a variety of people looking to address the underlying issues. He is very attentive and seeks to understand. I'm very appreciative of the information he provides and suggestions to work on the issues on a regular basis. I've felt a lot relief and improvement in my body--more than with anyone else I've worked with and that's saying a lot! Totally recommend!“

“So truly grateful for another fabulous massage by Melanie - so skillful and knowledgeable and courteous and empathetic in an extremely comfortable space. Only wish I lived closer for more frequent opportunities. Best massage therapist I've ever experienced in my long life.“

“Probably the best massage I have ever had. Latoya has a gift for sure. Her energy and the environment she curates with her calm and confident presence set the tone for what was an incredible massage and assisted stretch session. She used a combination of techniques, providing a holistic experience that was beyond anything I have ever experienced before. I am not sure I can put words to how I felt afterwards beyond blissful and reconnected with my body.“

“I have been meaning to come write this review since the moment I left my massage over a week ago but life was lifin lol.
I had a wonderful massage from Tocara! I opted in for some aromatherapy during the massage. It was my first time getting a massage with scents. Peppermints and lavenders, so relaxing and helped clear my sinuses.
Tocara did a great massage. The pressure she started with ended up being perfect for me. The only thing I didnt like about the massage was falling asleep because I wasn’t awake to feel how good the massage felt LOL. Over a week later and I still feel the relief.
I highly recommend Imani Massage and personally can recommend Christine and Tocara for an excellent massage therapy session. Great people who are great at what they do!
I came back to edit my review because I forgot to mention how clean and cozy the sheets are plus the overall space is very clean calming and welcoming to folks of marginalized identities.“

“Working with Everett changed my life. Context: I've had cervical dystonia (involuntary spasm in my neck muscles) for 7 years, and I've seen a range of specialists: PTs, a chiropractor, physiatrists. I'm currently getting Botox shots to suppress the neck spasm. What did Everett do? Over the course of about six sessions, he diagnosed a twist in my thoracic spine that's exacerbating my neck problems (something none of the other providers could do, apparently), demonstrated exercises to correct the twist, and helped me figure out how to integrate the exercises into my normal workout routine. As a result, I'm discontinuing the Botox! Thank you, Everett!! I'll see you soon for a tune-up.“

“Luke did a great job explaining what he was going to do and he kept to the time as promised, which is hard to come by nowadays. He used the appropriate strength and technique to tackle my neck and shoulder pain. He had everything prepared out in the covered and private patio with heated lamps and table that were perfect for the chilly spring weather. Definitely a one-of-a-kind experience that can only be found in JP. Highly recommend him if you are/live in the neighborhood.“
