I encourage everyone I know to try massage at least once. In my experience there are two types of practitioners: those that are skilled enough to do a competent job, and those that have the experience and intuition to work on your body as a connected system. This makes a big difference, and once you find the second type of therapist, you keep going back.

If you wish to experience this for yourself, I highly recommend Susan MacFarlane. In addition to her exceptional skills, Susan MacFarlane has the most pleasant and quiet studio I have found in all of Salem.

After a particularly stress-filled week, I was eagerly looking forward to my first hot-stone massage to relax and I wasn’t disappointed!
In fact, I started to relax as soon as I walked in the door. Susan creates a wonderfully soothing atmosphere with music and candles that was already making me feel refreshed as she began to align the heated stones along my spine. Susan’s calming touch did the trick to re-align and recharge my body. When the session was over, I felt completely exhilarated, yet calm. I highly recommend her services if you are feeling “out of whack” and need to reconnect your body, mind and spirit.

Susan’s warm, caring personality instantly put me at ease. She actually made me feel as if it were truly all about me while in her care.

Susan has a natural, cheerful outlook on life that is enhanced with her love of massage and bodywork. As thought is the prerequisite to form, her performance engenders a type of atmosphere that is healthy, healing and loving.

I have chronic problems with wax building up in my ears which has required me to visit the hospital on numerous occasions over the years to have the wax removed.  I heard about ear candling but did not know where to go until a mutal friend introduced me to Susan MacFarlane and I decided to give it a try.  The first time I had the ear candling done with Susan, I didn’t think it worked because I couldn’t even feel the wax being extracted.  It wasn’t until she showed me the evidence that I realized it actually worked!  The process is so relaxing and peaceful; much more enjoyable than going to the hospital.  I highly recommend it and I am now getting ear candling done with Susan on a monthly basis because it has worked so well for my situation.  -Janice C., Wakefield, MA
