Julie E says: I got the Groupon deal and did the Deluxe Ashiatsu. It was a wonderful experience. Mary-Claire asked several times if the pressure was good and adjusted as needed. She played soft peaceful music and I felt comfortable and relaxed. I can't wait to go again!
GREAT EXPERIENCE
6/02/2010
Lesley L says: It has been quite some time since my last massage and Mary-Claire did wonders! I had more knots in the muscles in my neck than I thought and she found every one of them. I found much more range of motion (& painless motion!) after Mary-Claire was finished. it was a great experience all round - only wish I had found her sooner!
A great excape

Melissa S says: I truly enjoyed my recent massage at Affinity Massage Studio. I was a bit nervous at first that someone would be using their feet to massage me, but i just let my thoughts go and relax. I couldn't tell that she was using her feet, but the pressure was just perfect and the movements she used helped relieve tension i was holding in my back and neck/shoulders. I enjoyed it greatly and would return!
So relaxing!
5/29/2010
Erikamarie B says: My Ashiatsu was absolutely wonderful! It really helped the tension in my neck and back. I wasn't even aware that I was so tight, but I feel so much better now. My mom and I enjoyed it so much that we've decided to make it our standing gift to one another!
Mary-Claire is wonderful
5/19/2010
Jay J says: I am a IT Analyst and working all day infront of computer hurts my neck, shoulders and back. Mary-Claire massage was wonderful and relaxed my neck, shoulder very nicely. I would definitely recommend to people to get her service. She is very professional and asked my line of work to know which of muscles needed the right pressure. Overall it's an awesome experience for me.
Perfect Bliss!

Great massage
5/02/2010
Jemma R says: I had the Ashiatsu massage (on the Groupon offer). I love deep pressure massage and Mary-Claire did this brilliantly. I had never been massaged by someone's feet before but thought I'd try something new. It was great and felt just like hands but stronger. She asked me several times to tell her when the pressure was right and she really worked my shoulder which has been very stiff lately. Love the foot massage and scrub too!
Fabulous!
4/30/2010
Jessica D says: I purchased the Groupon and received a wonderful massage at an incredible price! Mary-Claire was very attentive to my neck where I had an injury years ago which felt so great. This was my first bamboo massage, I loved it! The studio is private and very relaxing, I would definitely recommend her. If I could afford to see her on a regular basis I would do it in a heartbeat!
wonderful experience

Emily B says: Mary-Claire is an excellent massage therapist. The warm bamboo massage was amazing. The atmosphere was inviting and calming. Two thumbs up!
Warm Bamboo Massage - Highly Recommended!
4/28/2010
Allison K says: I tried the Warm Bamboo Massage and was amazed at how wonderful it was! Mary Claire worked out so much tension and stress from my muscles that I went home feeling alive and refreshed. I had a separated shoulder a few months ago that my chiropractor helped me heal and although my pain level is almost non existent, I still have a little soreness from time to time. This massage made my shoulder completely pain free for several days afterwards. I felt more relaxed and refreshed for an entire week after this massage than I have in a long time. I work at a computer all day and although I went in feeling like I really didn't have any residual effects from it, after the massage I realized how constantly tense I was. Feeling so relaxed made me realize how much tension I have been holding in my body. This wasn't one of those quick "make you feel good for a few minutes" kind of thing. I have felt better ever since and plan to make Mary Claire part of my wellness plan. She makes you feel welcome and comfortable and sends you home feeling relaxed and refreshed.

Great deal - Amazing experience

Ashley C says: I used a Groupon deal for an hour and a half Ashiatsu massage. It was an amazing deal, and I was so impressed with the time she spent with me. It was incredibly therapeutic, and I left feeling renewed. Could not have been more pleased with my experience. I would recommend it to anyone.
Heaven!

Suzie J says: OhmyGosh! I can't imagine anything better than 90 minutes with Mary Claire. Not only is she as sweet and friendly as any person you will ever meet, but she has magic hands! I came in with aches and pains from fibromyalgia and knots in my back galore, and left feeling light and limber. The warm bamboo massage was WONDERFUL! I could feel the knots and tension dissolving under the heat and kneading of the bamboo rods. You can bet I'll be back for another slice of Heaven!
So Relaxing!

Jenna Y says: I choose the Warm Bamboo massage and it was amazing! I will definitely be back for another one! Mary-Claire was fantastic!

What a wonderful suprise!

Lisa A says: I had no idea that this wonderful studio was tucked into this (new to me) developed area. It is very tastefully done and very comfortable. Mary -Claire was great, personable, professional and an amazing therapist. She is strong and sweet! My boyfriend and I both were extremely pleased with the massage and the friendliness. Affinity won us over. Thanks!
What a great way to relax

90 Minute Ashiatsu Message
3/17/2010
John S says: I had the 90 minute Ashiattsu message on Monday. I suffer from chronic muscle spams and back pain. I have never had a message that gave me much relief, until now. I am still a little sore, but my range of motion and pain score are lower than they have been in years. I will be back, and highly recommend this for anyone who has chronic muscle spasms or pain.
fantastic!
3/16/2010
Steph L says: highly recommended and was very good at applying firm pressure to all the needed areas (neck, shoulders, lower back). couldn't wait to make my next appointment as it really helped!
Mary-Claire is incredible!
2/28/2010
stephanie c says: I found Mary-Claire when I signed up for Groupon and she was advertising a 90 minute message for $39. You couldn't beat that awesome price for 90 minutes of heaven! As soon as I walked in, she made me feel right at home and was relaxed very quickly with the ambiance. I received the Bamboo massage and it was so nice and smooth on my body with just the right combination of the bamboo and the heat of the tools. I immediately booked after the session and counting down the days until it gets here!
Wonderful!
2/28/2010
Laura P says: This was the first massage I have ever had where the masseuse used their feet. It was amazing. The deep pressure was constant and never let up, whereas that level of continual strong pressure is just not possible with hands, which tire more easily. Mary-Claire has an excellent understanding of the body and knows right where to massage to induce deep relaxation. I slept so much better the night of my massage!
The best massage therapist EVER!!
2/27/2010
Diane N says: Mary Claire is fabulous. She knows the human body and exactly how to promote the relaxation/loosening that is needed. From inducing intense relaxation to delivering therapeutic benefits on extremely tight muscles, Mary Claire is unsurpassed in my book.
Better than perfect! Wow.
2/24/2010
Craig W says: I am a 50 yr old man who have had massages from Bali to Fiji to the Four Seasons Hotel. Never have I experienced the ultimate massage like Mary-Claire. She put me mentally and spiritually on a different planet. You won't be disappointed.
I'll be a repeat customer
2/23/2010
Kim B says: I had a relaxing experience and I will be a repeat customer. Thanks
Best deep massage ever!
2/10/2010
Milla B says: Mary-Claire was AMAZING! I love a very deep, intense massage and she delivered. I have never had such a deep massage and trust me, it's so hard to get one with a regular massage. Ashiatsu works perfectly for me. Her massage was so deep that I felt she touched my soul, yea it's that good! I will definitely come back again and again.
Really, really great!
2/10/2010
Donna R says: Yesterday was my first massage with Mary-Claire and first time experiencing ashiatsu. It will definately not be my last. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and was amazed that she could do such fine work with her feet! I would highly recommend her.
Deep Feet the best massage
2/05/2010
Clark K says: I hunted and tried many Therapists to find someone who could get deep and work through my medical issue. Mary-Clair is the one!!! I have been to at least 5 ashiatsu therapists and she is the ONE that can get to all my aches and pains and correct the under lying muscle issues. Mary-Clair is a National Know trainer in ashiatsu techniques, which is evident in her massage.
Couldn't wait to tell my friends!
2/04/2010
Brandy M says: This was my first time with Mary-Claire and I was very impressed! I was so relaxed! This was definitely the best massage I have ever had! I can't wait to get my next one!!
Pure Heaven!
2/03/2010
Diana N says: Mary-Claire is a wonderful massage therapist! She could tell exactly where I need most of my work done and was very gentle but deep! Great positive energy... I will definately be back to see her!
First massage ever!
2/01/2010
Audrey P says: Mary-Claire was wonderful. Not only was the massage relaxing, but I learned a lot from her about how my body reacts to stress and how to manage stress better in the future (the biggest way to do that will obviously be to have more frequent massages!). She was very professional, and very creative--I have a congenital defect in my back and leg which challenges my posture and resulted in a serious injury a few years ago--she was able to find a combination of table and chair massage to help keep me comfortable and still be effective. And the foot scrub? Heavenly.
Great Energy

Kim B says: Mary-Claire Fredette is wonderful massage therapist with beautiful happy energy. It was a pleasure to be worked on by a person of her caliper.
Great relief from back pain!
1/27/2010
Steve W says: As a man who uses my body to earn a living as a remodeler and roofer, I suffer from severe back pain. Mary-Claire gives me the relief I need through her deep massages. I also benefit from the relaxation she gives me from the stress of every day life. She is an excellent massage therapist and I highly recommend her for anyone needing relief from pain and/or for relaxation purposes. I have received massages from other therapists and she is, by far, the best.
Better than pain killers!
1/23/2010
Tzu K says: As a chronic back pain sufferer I am always looking for ways to alleviate the pain. Two years ago I sought out Mary-Claire for an Ashiatsu massage and I found the answer to my back pain! Mary-Claire delivers wonderfully deep massages without the digging and prodding of thumbs and elbows. The smooth deep strokes decrease my back pain almost immediately and continue on to the following days for improved range of movements. I will take massage from Mary-Claire over any doctors' or chiropractors' visits!
Wonderful
1/20/2010
Amy S says: Mary-Claire is very professional and always up to date on latest techniques. I have received the ashiatsu (bar) treatment and loved the deep tissue massage. I have also received "standard" massages from her and they have been superior to any other massage therapist I have been to. She is very professional, courteous, knowledgeable and experienced. Five stars!
Mary-Claire keeps me going!
1/13/2010
Dot T says: Mary-Claire has been my massage therapist since 1999. When I first saw her, I was walking on 2 canes, then one cane, and now I hardly ever use one at all. I see her for treatment every 2 weeks, and I don't know what I'd do without her!
