Eve has powerful and yet comforting energy. She listens and focuses on what needs attention. Her work is thorough and effective, and the results long-lasting. I would recommend her highly!

As a long-time client of Eve MacDonald's, I am happy to recommend her. Over the years, I've experienced different massage styles and techniques at various wellness centers. As a regular exerciser in good health, my preference is for a typical relaxation or Swedish massage.

When I met Eve, several years ago, I knew we had a good fit and I’ve stayed with her ever since, usually getting a massage once a month. Eve is responsive to input -- always inquires at the start of the session about physical problem areas and if I want her to focus on a specific issue or area. During a session, she is sensitive to my comfort -- adjusting temperature, massage pressure, or background music as needed.

This is a type of personal service where customer satisfaction depends not only on the provider’s skill and competence but also on the relationship with the client. Eve conducts herself in a professional yet warm manner at all times. She is dependable and cheerful. I trust her judgment and abilities. All around, Eve has been wonderful.

I have been a regular client of Eve MacDonald’s for a few years now.  I schedule a session with her once a week.  When I am traveling or at the beach, I greatly miss my hour and a half therapy sessions.  I am an active 55-year-old woman who refuses to listen to the masses saying that I need to slow down and cut back on my running and do less strenuous activities.  My favorite way to travel is on a bike.  I have biked the Enchanted Circle in Taos, New Mexico up to 9800 feet above sea level.  I have run 10 marathons (competitively) and have competed in countless ½ marathons and other distances for the past 20 years.  I often will win my age group or at least place.  So, I do take my running seriously along with the health and well being of my body.  I find that over the years as I have one injury after the other, nothing has truly sidelined me.  Between PT sessions and regular massage sessions with Eve, I have been able to work through whatever it is that has tried to sit me down.  I have Eve to thank for helping through pain from piriformis syndrome with her deep tissue therapy, plantar fasciitis, a torn rotator cuff, and lesser aches and pains.  I feel so lucky to have found her and enlist her to my aid with her expert skills.  Above all she is a professional who is educated and knowledgeable in so many areas of spiritual wellness.  She is a believer in herbal and non-traditional remedies, too. She does not push any of this on you.  She will tell you about what she knows.  Eve is a fountain of knowledge about herbal remedies and never forgets to research something I have inquired about. 

 Eve listens and is very attentive to the “hot” area of the day.  She is always willing to work along with what my doctor has recommended.  Eve will take the time before every session to ask how I am doing.  Is there anything new?  How is the old tender spot doing?  Have I seen my doctor and have I asked if she can do anything to help with recovery at this point?  Have I found a yoga class I like?  

 I am a firm believer that by these regular massage sessions that Eve has kept me on the road feeling healthier and stronger.  Her technique is able to kneed out all my kinks and find the ones I didn’t know I had.  She is my secret magician!  Now if I could only listen to her and my husband to maybe do a little more cross training to maybe avoid the silly injuries I find my aging body troubled with, I too would be the perfect client!

I received a wonderful massage from Eve who has strong and sensitive hands, and the ability to both soothe and stimulate muscles simultaneously.  She was able to loosen all the tightness the heavy work in my yard had produced over the preceding few days.  She had a great intuitive sense of which muscles needed the deepest work, and which ones needed to be more gently soothed.

I have received a great many massages from a wide variety of massage therapists.  Eve is among the very best practitioners that I have ever experienced.  My 74-year-old body was very happy indeed that she is so skilled and dedicated.  And, I have the strong sense that she has the wonderful ability to tailor each massage to her patient’s needs.

I strongly recommend her as a highly skilled, compassionate, and supportive massage therapist.

Sincerely,

Ben Shapiro - Concord MA
