Meet our Practitioners

 

TERESA HARTEN, LMT

I am a Nationally Certified Massage Therapist, licensed by the City of Cambridge. I am trained in the Ben Benjamin System of Muscular Therapy. I've enjoyed working in a variety of professional settings, including: medical, corporate, and athletic, as well as private practice.

About my clients
In addition to those clients seeking relaxation and help in dealing with the general stresses of life at home and in the workplace, I enjoy working with a broad spectrum of people: seniors; expectant mothers; dancers; busy parents; athletes, and people living with chronic illnesses.

All are welcomed into a relaxing atmosphere where their comfort and safety are emphasized and individual attention is a priority.

About my work
Following an in-depth interview to determine each client's particular needs, I develop an individualized treatment- plan based on tension patterns, sites of pain, and movement restrictions, among other factors. This plan includes hands-on massage therapy, gentle range-of-motionexercises and teaching simple home/self-care techniques. Using this combination I help clients manage stress, increase flexibility, maintain good health, reduce pain and stay pain free.

Using the home/self-care techniques clients can take an active part in their own treatment thus enhancing the benefits of the massage.

I see this collaboration between therapist and client as a very important part of the therapeutic relationship.

Massage at Home

Enjoy the benefits of a relaxing, therapeutic massage without leaving the comfort of your own home.

This is also a wonderful way for clients who are homebound due to age, illness, or disability to experience the healing benefits of massage.
