You, the client, are in charge of your experience. And we, your practitioners, are responsible for upholding that.

Your Massage, Your Way Massage is a conversation between a client and their practitioner, and each client’s needs are what’s most important to us. We will offer only what is okay for us. Thus, we don’t have super early morning or late night hours because we can’t give you our best work at those times. We don’t p...

Thank you for the shout-out in The Bridge! What a lovely surprise to open the paper and see Massage Vermont recommended for gift giving. Our best wishes to all for a healthy, happy New Year.

Gift Recommendations from The Bridge - The Montpelier Bridge A common problem most shoppers face is similar to Nancy Reid’s. “Many of my family members are hard to shop for but are into cooking …,” said Reid, a board member for The Bridge. Reid suggests a gift certificate at a local shop. “They will special order items that they don’t have in stoc...

Overwhelmed? Ask what your nervous system wants. Sheryl here. This post draws from the episode “I’m going through a really hard time What can I do?” of Psychedelic Therapy Frontiers, one of my favorite podcasts.

We've learned from pleasant and unpleasant experiences why it's crucial to maintain a relaxing, soothing environment, from our treatment rooms' appearance and comfort options to our silence and attentiveness to your needs. Here's one of experience we'll never forget.

Flashback to the 1990s: “Massage Therapy at Sea” In 1997, Sheryl accepted a three-month contract to do massage therapy in the spa on Grandeur of the Seas. The cruise ship was less than a year old and quite posh. In 2002, Massage Magazine published her story about it. Step into the wayback machine and on board—briefly, anyway.

It was probably 15 years ago that a client brought us this cat bed, which they said their cats never used. Our cats immediately did. We have different cats now, Yuki and Ru, and the tradition continues.

In those days, we were still in the Rutland house, where our cats interacted freely with clients in our entry hall. Our Montpelier office is completely separate from the house, but the feline spirit continues to imbue our every space.

"What if the first thing you noticed about your body wasn't what it looks like from the outside but how it feels on the inside? What would that change?"

From "Being Body Conscious"
To the Best of Our Knowledge
First aired September 30, 2023

Being Body Conscious When you look at your body in the mirror, do you love what you see? Do you pick out the things you don’t like? Maybe you’ve heard of body positivity. But what if we just felt neutral about our bodies?

The touch is the point. Safe, healing touch that is for you and only you.

“Touch can reduce pain, depression and anxiety, say researchers” Not surprisingly, many, many people who contact Massage Vermont seek relief from physical and mental suffering, from pain, anguish, and from the effects of stress. Someone who wants a massage wants to feel better. What's perhaps more surprising is that it probably matters less what kind of bodywork....
