“Yvonne is the best massage therapist I’ve ever gone to. As a longtime yoga teacher & runner (endurance), I’ve gotten A LOT of body work in the 15+ years I’ve been in the wellness/health space. Yvonne’s experienced, compassionate, smarter than smart, intuitive, kind, funny, and wise. She genuinely is “on your team” and wants you to feel the best you can feel in your body. I refer my clients to her - that tells you a lot. I can’t recommend her enough. I’m so glad to have found Yvonne!”

“I love getting massages and have had MANY massages over the years and Yvonne is the best massage therapist I have ever had. She has this incredible ability to find all the knots in your body (even ones you didn’t know you had!) which then ultimately makes you feel amazing. I have had lower back and hip and leg issues for a couple of years now (in addition to super tight and tense shoulders, neck and upper back from my office job) and she works tirelessly in every session to help me with my pain. I believe she graduated top of her class and you can really tell by the quality of her work. She is also constantly taking classes and trying to learn new methods of healing that will help her patients. I think she recently took a Chinese stomach massage course because a few of her patients were struggling with issues in that area. As you can tell, she truly cares about her patients. Every time I go on vacation now, my husband will ask if I want to book a massage and I always say no but I do want to book with Yvonne when we’re back in the city! I don’t trust anyone else with my back now. PS - she also offers couples massage classes where she will come to your apartment/house and do a 1.5 hour teaching session. I am looking forward to booking that!”

“Yvonne is incredible! She thoroughly reviewed my medical history and current symptoms before making a plan and consistently checked in to make sure pressure, temperature, and positions were comfortable (but not in that “omg shut up I’m trying to relax” way!). She’s trans competent and already after one session my swelling from top surgery has gone down! Can’t wait to book with her again!”

“I’m a spine surgery patient - several in the cervical and lumbar spines - so choosing a massage therapist to help manage my pain (and not cause more) is serious business. Almost three years ago, I was very fortunate to find Yvonne. No word of mouth; just providence. She intuitively knows exactly where my pain lives; and, with strength which belies her stature, releases spasms that rival steel cables at times. Her work space is warm and inviting, like her personality. In the time that I’ve been her client, I’ve come to have great affection for her as a person (if I could choose a sister, it would be her) and tremendous appreciation for her as a healthcare professional. She is truly one of the only people in the world who help me feel better. Without a doubt, she will help you, too. ”

“Most amazing masseuse ever! I started seeing Yvonne when I was pregnant and have never stopped... she has seen me through two babies and a whole lot of back and neck issues. She truly has healing hands. I actually don’t really want to write this review as I don’t want her to get busier...”

“Yvonne is an incredible Massage Therapist. I have lower spine and pelvic floor issues that I have to address but equally, my muscles take on the stress of life and cause pain. Yvonne expertly works with me on the technical issues that have been diagnosed, and is really fantastic at listening to me explain what I am feeling and be able to translate what I describe into very effective massage sessions. Yvonne is an expert massage therapist and is an individual that you can trust with your vulnerability. She is a healer and I am very grateful to her.”

“Truly, Yvonne has the hands of an angel.

She helped me recover after I had surgery on my collar bone and has helped me immensely with my chronic lyme disease.

She is a master of her craft but, perhaps more importantly, she is incredibly compassionate and cares deeply about helping you heal.”

“Yvonne is fantastic and truly saved my back from chronic spasm back pain. She’s flexible and quick to respond to booking requests. Really appreciate her holistic vision of self-care, incorporating different techniques into her practice. She’s constantly learning and pushing herself to give better care. Highly recommend!”

“Yvonne is one of the best massage therapists I have seen in my life and definitely the best in New York City. When I go see her I know I’m not just going to relax but I’m actually doing something for the health of my muscles. She balances doing work that feels good with working on tight/ sensitive spots to release tension so I feel better.

On top of her amazing work in the session, she always asks me questions about my lifestyle and works with me to find solutions I can incorporate daily.

I would recommend her to anyone and everyone I know!”

“My friend and I visited Yvonne for the first time while we were pregnant and nicknamed her, “Magic Hands.” Since then we’ve been back several times since then. I’ve had many massages over the years from shady little joints to high end spas. Yvonne massages are by far the best. I like a lot of pressure to sooth sore muscles and she packs quite a bit of strength, if that’s what you want. Her new office space downtown is very calming and she is extremely knowledgeable regarding the way our bodies move and become injured. We always look forward to upcoming appointments with Yvonne! ”

“Yvonne has the magic touch! She takes the time to listen and is highly in-tune with what is happening to the body in real time. She is also extraordinarily knowledgeable on other complementary treatments. You will feel that your cate is the most important thing to her! I also liked her calm demeanor and general professionalism but still friendly and cool.”

“I had something of a mystery injury to my shoulder, as well as several other issues with my wrist and hip (I beat myself up a lot in my aerial sports!) and it was recommended I look into a sports masseuse to help with my recovery. I found Yvonne, who specialized in both sports and sports injury massage. Yvonne listened carefully to my concerns and made my priority (my shoulder) their priority. Yvonne was incredibly skilled, and worked very hard to help release the ridiculously tensed up muscles throughout and surrounding my shoulder. Yvonne also alleviated my fears about my shoulder injury, talking through the massage when I had questions about whether there was noticeable damage. The massage was concluded with some advice on ways to carefully stretch and exercise my shoulder to get it back into performing shape. I am very grateful and will definitely be back for another session!”

“My massage was astoundingly positive and helpful and memorable, so much so that I am writing my first yelp review—because Yvonne deserves it.

She first carefully assessed my specific needs, then used her magic hands to find and rest on my most troubled spots, and finally, advised me on preventative self-care for the pain and in general. She works both at an intuitive level and also with a clearly intelligent and strong foundation of knowledge. Such a caring, personable, and direct person and provider. I cannot recommend Yvonne or this center highly enough. I will be back!”

“Yvonne does some amazing work, and I approach each one of my appointments with her with a “no pain, no gain” attitude. I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend booking an appointment!”

“The best massage I’ve gotten in the city. Definitely on the pricier side of massages but definitely worth it. I’ve seen 3 different massage therapist, but I couldn’t recommend Yvonne more.

This isn’t your run of the mill standard massage where they follow the same formula. If you are sore and knotted up they really get in there to get you loose. This has become a once a month expense for me that I really look forward to. Cheers”

“So I don’t write reviews too often, but yesterday was as good as it gets. I’ve seen numerous massage therapists over the last few years, trying to find someone who I felt really listened to me when I described issues, looked at the larger picture (my background/activities/day to day), worked in a focused way to address the pain/issue, and then also educated me along the way (talking about what was wrong/things I could do on my own/etc). Yvonne did all this and more; she was patient, attentive, and happy to talk through what she was doing/why.

I really couldn’t be more happy and will definitely be scheduling again with her!”

“Finally decided to bite the bullet and get a much needed sport massage to prevent future injuries. I’ve feared massages due being too ticklish but needed relief and so glad I came here. Running, kickboxing and circuit training has left me with sore knees and shoulders. The place is nicely decorated and really calming. Yvonne was so amazing at explaining everything, I had no clue what parts of my body all this running and kicking was doing to me. She also put my mind at ease to the ticklish issue - BREATHE!!! While it was a bit painful as I expected since I was heavily knotted, she applied the right amount of pressure and I could immediately tell how outta tune I was. While I was a little sore the next day, my knee pain was gone, which I was happy about. as promised, I took it easy the next day. She wrote down exercises I should do during the day, especially for office workers who barely ever get up, to help my body recover. Going to figure out how to use foam roller. Despite squirming way too many times (darn tickler), Yvonne was very patient. Planning on coming back before my 10K in September. For anyone who is looking for a sports massage not done in a “medical” type setting, this is the place to go. Everyone was so nice.”
