used a gift certificate that was won by a friend. Katrina was awesome!
I was just getting over a bout of pneumonia and she suggested different ways to get my muscles feeling good as new. Katrina spent time ' interviewing' me to find out what was goign on to give the best massage possible.
Relaxing 1 1.2 hrs was fabulous- I think I actually feel asleep at one point.
She was knowledgable and aske me questions about how her touch was ( too strong .weak) and explained why some of the things she was doing would feel like 'X'.
Only downside I could see was parking SUCKS ..... and the location is on the third floor of a building - not the easiest of stairs to climb beign short of breath from illness.
Other than than, GO GO GO GO.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Hi Dana, thanks for your wonderful review and sharing about the good experience you had during your session! And I apologize about the parking. When you came in to see me back in January, the snow definitely made it a challenge all around. But it is certainly much better now. I hope to see you again soon!

Where is my sixth star option? I need a sixth star for Katrina!
Far and away, best massage I've ever had. I went to Katrina for a Thai yoga massage, and I left feeling reborn. It was exactly what my body needed, and she listened well to what it wanted. My body tingled all day afterward, and I had a euphoric high.
I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you, Katrina! See you soon.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Rachel B.Somerville, MA6141Sep 13, 2010Updated review
Okay so since my last review I have seen Katrina twice now for foot reflexology -- it is amazing!!!
It basically felt like I was getting a full-body massage even though she only worked on my feet (also a bit on my calves, which are quite tight). I think I almost fell asleep a few times. :)
She has such a warm and kind nature, and would make anyone feel comfortable.
Seriously guys, you gotta check her out.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Feb 4, 2010Previous reviewKatrina. Is. Amazing.
Seriously.
I first discovered Katrina at Cambridge Naturals on a Saturday last summer. She was giving complimentary 10-minute chair massages and of course I took her up on it. I felt so awesome after a simple 10 minutes that I went ahead and booked an hour-long massage with her at her studio in Teele Sq.
Since then I have received about three holistic massages as well as a hot-stone massage! (b-day present to myself). She is so thorough, makes me feel totally comfortable, and I always leave feeling like I've stepped out of some sort of dream (in a good way). I have yet to try foot reflexology with her (or anyone!) but that's my next step.
Basically, you must get a massage from Katrina. :) - Melissa C.Boston, MA4316Apr 18, 2017
This review is so long overdue! Katrina is wonderful and her space is very cozy and relaxing. I have had both regular and Thai massage with her and can't recommend her enough. Do you ever have that feeling like your whole body needs to be stretched but don't have the time/energy/will power? - Go get a Thai massage with Katrina! You will leave feeling amazing.

That was perhaps the best massage that I've ever had. Katrina was so great at making sure we worked on the areas in the I was most concerned about, while giving a full body massage. Pain that I had been feeling for nearly 3 months had been worked out! So very grateful! I also really appreciated that she took the time to help me take preventative measures by teaching me things that I can do on my own in between appointments.
Her approach and the peaceful room really add to the experience.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Sabrina G.Somerville, MA875Jul 6, 2010
I have used Yelp for quite sometime... but only to READ reviews. However, after having my 90 minute massage by Katrina, I felt like I needed to tell the world about how absolutely AMAZING it was!!!
I have gotten many, many massages in my life... some in fancy spas, some in not so fancy spas and a couple at in-home places. This is hands down the BEST massage I have ever received.
I made the appointment online.. it was super easy and fast. I then got a follow up call from Katrina the next day to just talk about what I was looking for and to give me directions, etc for how to get to her location. I requested to pay by credit card and she immediately sent me a Google Check-out receipt and was able to pay for it very easily.
Speaking of the price.... $100 for a 90 minute massage. and she actually massaged me for OVER 90 minutes. Not like when you go to the spas downtown and 90 minutes really mean 75 or even less. The $100 was with a $10 off special for first-timers.
When I got there, she talked with me and made me feel super comfortable and relaxed. Katrina is very warm and kind and that came across right away.
Anyway, after my complete 90 minutes of massage, I felt SO relaxed and happy. I was even giggling on my drive home.
If you are looking for a massage that won't break your bank and that won't leave you feeling cheated... please go to her!!! you will not regret it!!!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - janet a.Mid-Cambridge, MA05Nov 22, 2009
I discovered Katrina several years ago when I purchased a Thai Massage she had donated to a Unitarian Church service auction. It was a wonderful experience, and I have gone on to have more massages from her. A great practitioner of Thai massage (like Katrina) is difficult to find. It involves compression and positional stretching (while clothed) and is deeply therapeutic. I find it more helpful than conventional massage. Katrina has a skilled, sensitive touch and really cares about her clients. I recommend her without qualification.

Absolutely would recommend Katrina. The 1 hour massage felt like it was like 10 minutes long. Thorough and very nice. She was very understanding when I had to reschedule my appointment. Purchased this as a buywithme offer and I will be back.

Here we are more than a year later and I continue to see Katrina on an almost-monthly basis. I've referred countless friends and have purchased gift certificates to encourage people to go to her. She has a calm and reassuring presence and takes the time to talk with you to get to know what's going on in your life that may be contributing to stress. Since she's also a life coach, she offers helpful tips on living a more balanced life. I just love her and think she's the greatest.

For the last couple of years, I have been looking for a massage therapist that can take care of the tension in my back, neck and shoulders without charging an arm and a leg. Katrina is it! I booked a 90 minute massage this past Saturday and didn't leave without booking my next appt. I was very impressed with her method and particularly with her pressure-point technique. Several other massage therapists have tried this technique on me and caused pain. I thought it was just me and that I was a wimp and couldn't take it. But the way Katrina does it puts everyone to shame. It felt right without any pain. Her overall method is slow with good pressure. And you can tell that she is listening with her hands, backing off and then adding more pressure when needed. She's a master.

Don't know why I rated 4 instead of 5 - only downside is the parking can sometimes be challenging. Otherwise, awesome.
Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Sep 18, 2011Previous reviewKatrina is extremely professional, easy to talk to, and wow, a fantastic massage therapist. I am actually a LMT myself, so I am pretty picky, and I am very happy that I found Katrina. I was looking for someone who does Thai massage (a fully-clothed stretching modality), and found Katrina. While I was happy I tried Thai massage, I wanted to try her therapeutic massage - and I am glad I did. She is great.
