Review from RB P.
Cambridge, MA

Last year I had 10 sessions of Rolfing done with Daphne Berwind-Dart and it was life-changing. She was completely honest about the benefits and how it worked, as well as whether or not certain portions of the Rolfing would be uncomfortable (which they were, momentarily, but the long-term positive change in my body was worth a few minutes of intense sensation). My posture was improved, I gained at least an inch in height, and my sinus and headache issues were greatly alleviated. It was easier to sit at my desk and I felt more energy and enthusiasm about moving regularly. An old ankle injury felt better, and I found walking easier and less painful. After the sessions, I really felt more grounded and better connected to my body and how it moves during the day.
Daphne was always professional and extremely pleasant. At no point did I feel awkward or self-conscious (you are Rolfed in just your undergarments, which can seem harrowing if you've ever felt self-conscious about your body), but Daphne puts you at ease--her main concern is the comfort and health of her clients. Having done research on the price of Rolfing sessions in this area, I can also say that Daphne is an excellent value. The facility itself is easy to find, clean, light, pleasant, and comfortable. It's in an old house, which makes gives it an inviting feel--unlike many sterile, clinical medical offices.
I'll be returning to Daphne later this year for a tune-up session. Unlike chiropracting, you can usually feel the effects of Rolfing for many years after your 10 sessions are completed. But I've just suffered an injury and can already feel that my body has (negatively) compensated how it moves to accommodate the injury. Once I am healed I'll be returning to her. Can't recommend her highly enough! -

Well, I just finished my 10(ish) series with Daphne, and I already miss her! I probably would have kept going for forever, but Daphne was honest enough to tell me that she thought I had reached the full benefit of the rolfing series. (However, she did invite me back for tune-ups in the future, whenever I feel like I need them!).
Overall, my body feels much more elongated and looser. I actually gained an inch or two in height, and even my mom would be proud of my posture now. My core is straighter and clothes fit better. My shoulders are even, and my right shoulder (chronic bursitis from playing competitive tennis) feels so much better than it used to. I honestly haven't had any issues with my shoulder, IT band, or headaches for awhile, and I'm attributing it to Daphne's mad skills. I just feel... healthy.
I highly recommend rolfing and Daphne to just about everyone. After a few sessions, you will feel great!Listed in: Health, Wellness & Beauty

This review is based on my one experience for accupuncture only.
So I had my my first experience with accupuncture yesterday! I had never done it before so have nothing to compare it to but think I can be objective about the service at Cambridge Health which was very good.
My accunpuncturist (Marilyn) was friendly and thorough in her questions prior to beginning. Marilyn clearly believes in the medicine of accupuncture and helping people which got through some of my cynicism. She made me feel really comfortable and made sure I didn't have any questions or qualms before starting. I actually don't have any physical issues (knock on the old wood) aside from weak ankles from sports but it turns out that it's best to have accupuncture before you have problems as a preventive health measure.
The needles did not hurt (a few stung for a second) and I could actually feel stirrings in my ankles from the needles in my scalp! The appointment lasted about 90 minutes but flew by. I am still not 100% sure about the powers of accupuncture but afterwards I had a feeling of euphoria akin to Peter in Office Space after hypnosis! I also had football practice that night and my previously sore left ankle felt pretty good.
I know, it could all be in my head, but I really enjoyed the experience and made a second appointment. They are running a special right now- 50% off your first two treatments if you call before 9/15 so give it a try! -

Daphne does the rolfing at Cambridge Health Associates. I did ten rolfing sessions with her and my overall posture and health has improved tremendously since I began seeing her this fall. My lower back pain has all but disappeared. She is professional, precise, and extremely knowledgeable. And always made me feel at ease. I've tried a lot of bodywork and alternative therapies, but the effects of rolfing were direct, and have made a huge difference in my life.

I've been seeing Daphne for Rolfing and have been extremely impressed. I am trying to recover from a running injury and rolfing has made a dramatic difference in my acute pain and has relieved almost all my chronic low back pain.
Daphne is extremely friendly, knowledgeable and really listens!
I've used chiropractors and acupuncturists in my quest to reduce my lower back and hip pain and rolfing has been by far the most effective. I've only had 3 sessions and there has been a huge improvement.
I also began seeing Julie for pilates to rebuild strength now that Daphne has reduced pain. Again, I can't speak highly enough of the warmth and professionalism of Julie. Her studio is beautiful and pilates using the machines has been extremely effective as a recuperative exercise. My posture and core strength have already improved in just 3 sessions!
I will continue to see both Daphne and Julie as I move further along my road to recovery. -

I've been getting acupuncture from Marilyn at CHA for about three years. I first came in with a severe sinus infection -- I'd been sick for a month and had seen my doctor twice with no result. I saw Marilyn and was 80% better in 2 days! Amazing. I have no idea the scientific basis of acupuncture, but it seems to work for me.
Marilyn is a great practitioner: she's attentive and kind but never preachy. She's very professional yet also puts you at ease. -

The people here are very friendly. Some work directly for CHA and some practioners rent out rooms in this gorgeous Victorian. The rooms are clean without being sterile, and the place has a great atmosphere. I see Marilyn Yohe for acupuncture & Chinese herbal medicine & I highly recommend her.
They also do rolfing, zero balancing, reiki etc.
EDIT: Marilyn is incredibly easy going and friendly. She's easy to talk to about health-related problems, without feeling like you're at the doctor. I've recommended her to many, many friends who tell me they feel at-ease just by speaking to her, and they also agree that it speaks to how amazing she is that one can be semi-clothed, full of needles and be completely and utterly relaxed. -

I took an amazing yoga class with Natalie on Sunday night at 6pm. It was the perfect balance of challenging, while being supportive. I even felt better about facing Monday morning after this class. Plus after I challenged myself by achieving some poses I had no I could do, Natalie gave the best head massage during Savasana that was like the cherry on the sundae! I am so going back :)

I can't say enough good things about Daphne--and about Rolfing. I just completed my ten session series with her and feel a thousand times better. I used to crave massages all the time, now I wouldn't mind getting one, but I don't need it. I used to find it uncomfortable to sit up straight (too much time on a computer), and now standing tall feels normal, relaxed. I'm a complete believer in Rolfing--and Daphne is fantastic. She is intelligent, professional, extremely talented, warm, knowledgeable, and she gets great results.
