Testimonials

"Like many of us I have a high pressure life both at home and at work. Although massage is typically something that is soothing and beneficial to all, Abigail's practice takes it to the next level of healing. Instead of the temporary relief that massage often offers, Thai yoga message as well as her other offerings get at the root cause of the suffering or pain and offer a less passive role for the patient in the healing process. Abigail helped me through an extremely difficult period in my life. I would have confidence going to her at any time myself and I highly recommend her to anyone that truly wants to heal."

I have had the pleasure of receiving Abi's massage treatments for the past 2 years and I have to say that I am most impressed with how specific she is with her work.  With many previous massage therapists I always seemed to get the generic one size fits all approach.  Abi always seems to zone in on the trouble spots, some times without me even having to show her where.  I especially like the Thai yoga massage that she offers as a break from the normal massage.  The stretching always feels good and requires minimal effort on my part which is nice considering how stiff my muscles usually are.  I just can't say enough good things about Abi and her approach.  She understands the body and always manages to make me feel amazing before I leave.  Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to one of her massages.  I promise that you won't regret it.

I would highly recommend Abi to anyone. She has a unique blend of skills that she brings to her sessions, least of which, is her ability to be present with her client.  I have found her special blend of Thai massage, traditional massage and energy work to be exceptionally healing.
I always leave feeling relaxed, rejuvenated and cared for...
Thank you, Abi!

Abi Axelrod is an unusually well-trained, sympathetic massage-healer.  She has kind hands which carry the many techniques she has learned. As she worked on my tight body today, I felt a surge of gratitude.  It seemed as though she was an instrument of goodness which would flow through me as well; to others because as I loosen I can afford to give more.

I had been sitting much too long hunched over a computer and my neck and back muscles were all knotted up. I was in need of a massage and stumbled on Abigail. I was expecting an ordinary massage that would relieve my symptoms for a short while. Instead I found deep tissue massage and Thai yoga massage which together unblocked clogged energy paths and all the creative thoughts that could not find their way out of my body. I highly recommend her services as a great gift to self.

Life is, and always will be, measured by the challenges we encounter.  At last, after 50 years I have found a way to prepare both my body and mind to except and meet these challenges. Practicing yoga with Abi has been a joy and a life changing experience.  Her devotion and knowledge will inspire even the skeptics among us.

Abi has an unmistakable glow about her and it shows in her work. Her studio has the perfect vibe that sets the tone for the perfect massage.
Abi's hands are magic. When she works on me, I can tell she's totally focused and committed as she patiently channels her energy into all the right spots. Unrushed, unleashed, unreal. Highly recommended for people in high stress environments that need to perform. Be good to yourself!
