From The Start
Beacon Massage in Boston is a small massage studio consisting of one treatment room open seven days a week, with a second treatment room open Tuesdays and Sundays in order to offer concurrent massages. It was started with the realization that the gradual trending of massage over the last several decades from an expensive, luxurious indulgence to a vital role in maintaining and improving a healthy lifestyle. While the expense associated with quality massage has declined over that period, the costs are still too high for many seeking to start and/ or maintain a consistent regiment of massage.Considering that most health insurance does not yet (We, as an industry are working on it) cover massage therapy, not to mention all the healthcare expenses at maintaining health and, especially in a sluggish economy, the cost of maintaining and improving wellness can be overwhelming. We at Beacon Massage understand and want to help!
We all know the incredible benefits massage can do for the body; benefits such as reduction in tension, pain, increase in energy, range of motion, immune functions and vitality, just to name a few. But to really benefit from therapeutic massage, one has to be consistent in receiving treatment. For example, a person heading to a fitness center with a goal to lose weight cannot realistically expect to achieve their goal by attending one time or even once a month. Neither would inconsistent attendance, such as a sporadic workout 5 hours a day for one week followed by zero attendance for several weeks followed by a binge workout thereafter.
The human body responds best to consistent, methodical repetition and in moderation. To condition the body to adapt is the way to maximize the benefits of massage. The key is consistency. In order to accommodate regular visits, Beacon Massage has structured its rates to encourage consistent treatment for the purpose of maximizing the benefits of massage.All Beacon Massage therapists are fully licensed, fully insured individuals. We adhere to the highest of moral and service standards aimed and meeting and exceeding expectations. Our top priority is safe, secure and quality massage treatments for all of our clients. Our commitment to the AMTA Code Of Ethics is unwavering and any sort of divergence from that code is utterly unacceptable, and will be dealt with swiftly and severely.
Billing
Payment is due in full at time of service.
Health Insurance Billing
While most healthcare providers do not currently cover massage, in some cases, when prescribed by the primary care physicians, the treatment will be covered. In most of those cases, reimbursement is known to be the preferred course of action. Receipts are the most efficient way of being compensated by your provider. However, if a special circumstance necessitates Beacon Massage to contact your provider, we will do our best to facilitate collection. Ultimately, the client is accountable for his/her account and required to have payment upon the completion of services rendered.
Mission Statement
Our maxim is simple and can be summed up in three words: Quality Massage Affordable. By providing exceptional service and keeping it affordable, we can reach a greater range of people and spread the word that massage is a necessary module for optimal health, both physically and mentally. Beacon Massage will continue to aid in the comfort of others and become a part of a team dedicated to your overall health and wellness.

It takes stamina, courage and a good sense of humor to age. And the older you get, the harder it is. After 40, muscles decrease steadily.

Upcoming Therapist Schedule
Tardiness Policy
If you are new to Beacon Massage, it is highly recommended to come on at least 10 minutes early to complete the initial intake form. The actual time for a treatment is the massage itself, inclusive of the five minute intake interview and 5 minute exit review. By adhering to the scheduled time, you maximize your own treatment time on the table. Any time missed due to being late is taken from the actual massage & not deducted from the intake and exit interviews.
Being late 20 minutes more from your appointed time may count as a cancellation, and is at the discretion of the therapist to decide whether to perform the treatment or to declare it a no call/ no show cancellation; subject to the cancellation policy below. We will do our best to give you the service you purchased, but it may be compromised by the schedule set and the upcoming appointments, which we need to honor.
Cancellation Policy
We ask that you please give us 12 hours notice before your scheduled appointment if you should need to cancel. No calls/no shows are automatically charged the full amount of the treatment and online booking privileges are revoked**. Calls to cancel less than two hours, online booking privileges are revoked**.
1st Occurrence: No charge. 2nd Occurrence: 50% of scheduled treatment* & revoked privilege of online booking** 3th Occurrence: Full amount of scheduled treatment* & revoked privilege of online booking**
Calls to cancel less than twelve hours, but greater than three, are as listed. Messages through calling must be obtained by either a Beacon Massage therapist or leaving a message on the company messaging service. Simply calling and not leaving a message is not regarded as a call and subject to the rules pertaining to a no call/no show.
Same Day Deal & Pop Up Promotion Cancellation Policy
For those taking advantage of our same day deals and pop up promotions, we are forced to stricter cancellation guidelines, due to the very limited nature of the promotions. When a pop up promotion is sent via email, only one client is able to select this service. Any others seeking this will be told that the deal has already been secured and no others are able to book the appointment. Therefore, should a daily deal or pop up promotion be booked, no cancellation or changes can be made. If the client cannot make it, the credit card on file is automatically charged the full amount of the Pop Up Promotion. No exceptions to this policy.
Online Promotion Voucher Cancellation Policy
For those with online promotion vouchers, the policy between Beacon Massage and the third party is violation of the Beacon Massage 12 Hour cancellation policy will void the full value of the voucher. Some third parties, such as Bloomspot and Amazon Local require 24 hours. However, Beacon Massage will honor 12 Hours as our policy will remain consistent. Beacon Massage reserves the right to redeem all vouchers, regardless of attendance should an appointment be made and not cancelled or changed with 12 hours advance notice.
Client Requests
We recognize the importance of providing quality massage and making the client as comfortable as possible. Building a client-therapist relationship is an important aspect of building a long term treatment plan. However, as a small massage studio, scheduling to specific requests can be a challenge. Routinely, as the therapist schedule is developed one to two weeks in advance, our procedure is to schedule, in part, to the request of the client and based of the availability of the therapist. Should a crisis arise on the day of the appointment, a substitute therapist may be implemented and may not adhere to the request of the client. As the 12 hour policy is in place, the massage is required to proceed and the client is required to attend, despite the request.
Our policy regarding client requests stands as a request only and no guarantees can be made to meet that request. For those that seek one gender only, we recommend finding a practice that is gender specific.
Tipping Policy
We pride ourselves on keeping our massage rates among the lowest on Newbury Street. Therefore we regard gratuity, while optional, as a voluntary augmentation of only discounted rates, such as student rates, '68' discounted services, health insurance discounts, as well as online and third party promotions. Other massage establishments build their wages into the higher rates they charge. You pay the same rate regardless of the quality of bodywork. We allow for the client to decide how much the massage should be, based on the performance of the therapist, with the established rate as a base. Therefore, gratuity is accepted to supplement the fee of the therapist for the discounted service, and it is greatly appreciated. It is not expected by Beacon Massage or therapists of the studio to receive gratuity for a substandard or inadequate massage.
Regrettably, we have to protect against those imposing on the nature of our fee structure. As a safeguard, we may not invite clients, deemed as those that may impugn or challenge the aforementioned fee structure, to return to our studio. It's imperative to establish trust within the client/therapist relationship and will not be able to provide a quality service if it is compromised. We welcome those individuals to choose any one of the wonderful massage facilities in the back bay and thank you for your understanding.
*All are within a twelve month period from the first occurrence. After 12 months, the account resets the beginning.
**Online booking privileges may be restored after proof of worthiness is demonstrated. Decision of restoration of privilege is reserved by Beacon Massage only.
Client & Therapist Rights
Beacon Massage therapists work hard to ensure you receive a quality massage and seek to build and improve on the client/therapist relationship. Unfortunately, not all therapist/client interactions connect. Therefore, to ensure the best service possible, Beacon Massage, on behalf of therapists and therapists of Beacon Massage reserves the legal right to refuse service, in the best interest of the client and therapist, to anyone deemed inappropriate as a result of their behavior. Prejudicial and/or discriminatory views notwithstanding to this policy. Beacon Massage is forbidden to refuse service because of race, color, religion, creed, sex, marital status, national origin, disability, age, veteran status, sexual orientation, political affiliation, belief or prejudicial view prohibited by law from considering. Beacon Massage also prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities and will reasonably accommodate clients with a disability, upon request, and will also ensure the safe and reasonable treatment of such.

Deep, thorough massages. Big guys generally offer big massages. A clear, thorough & concise treatment from the mind and body of someone with years and years of reconciling numbers!
A blend of deep, thorough and exacting bodywork and soothing, relaxing Swedish massage to offer the best of both worlds; a restful, rejuvenating massage that will give you greater flexibility, greater range of motion, all the while calming the soul and encouraging greater focus.
Healthier career change from accounting with (many) fewer hours behind a desk. I certainly appreciate the many benefits of massage and the incredible satisfaction that comes from helping
others.

Continuing education in Craniosacral therapy
One of my greatest bodywork strengths is listening closely to my clients. I like to evaluate before I pursue a treatment plan, so that the goals of my clients are fulfilled.
I have always been interested in other ways to heal in health. I have always been strong in working through my hands and massage therapy was a good combination of the two.
I attended Brandeis University. I was on the pre-med track and graduated with a BA in studio arts, with honors.
