Testimonials and Resources

A Few Kind Words by Clients
  
 “Amber is fantastic! I was a longtime client in Montreal—about twice a month right up until she moved away. I started seeing her after a surgery where a physical therapist said I would benefit from trigger point massage. Amber came highly recommended by friends, and she did not disappoint. Very professional, but also good humored. Amber also was continuously researching and learning. She’s already an expert, but she’s also a student of her craft.  I learned a lot about my body and how it works just by talking with her. We tried lots of different things for my various needs, but she also always made sure to also do the things we knew worked. Each appointment started with a followup from last time and a check-in about my specific needs, and went from there. She keeps records like a medical professional. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I’d still be seeing her if we lived in the same town.”

“Amber is terrific. Her expertise combined with her ability to really get to know her clients and their needs make her exceptional. Philly's loss is Burlington's gain. I will miss her massages so much--so take advantage while you can!”
-Susan D.
 
“As a massage therapist myself, I tend to be picky about whom I go see. Amber is at the top of my list- a true gem. That massage therapist that you always hoped you would find one day. She brings a wonderful presence and attentiveness, and is experienced with a variety of approaches that she employs expertly with great care and sensitivity. Do not hesitate to book a massage with Amber, you will be happy you did.” 
-Eric D.
 
“Amber’s massages, when she worked in Montreal, were my happy place for about 8 years. Her intuitive yet backed-by-knowledge approach, ability to create a healing sanctuary and amazing skills made me one of many devoted fans. There is a reason Amber was voted #1 in Montreal for several years running in our local weekly (The Mirror/Cult Montreal). One time I told a friend ‘I have the BEST massage therapist in Montreal.’ ‘No, I do!’ she replied. Long story short: we were both talking about Amber!”

After 13 years living and working in Montréal I closed shop and moved to Philadelphia where I started fresh, built a new practice, and enjoyed another six years serving the Mt. Airy community before relocating once again, this time to my new home in Burlington, VT. I invite my Montréal clients to venture south of the border to pay me a visit, and also welcome Vermont newcomers to check out my work. I'm building a new practice so spread the word!

There's a treasure trove of great therapists whom I wholeheartedly recommend in my absence. Please check them out and have a great session!
