Amazing Chiropractic Care

by Rena Greifinger

I limped into OMBE with a serious back injury due to overexerting myself during marathon training. Right away, I felt an enormous sense of calm. The place is pristine and gorgeous, making you feel warm, welcome and on the road to good health. Erik defies the conventional assumption that chiropractors can do harm. His touch is extremely gentle and he takes great care to ensure your comfort. He is incredibly knowledgeable and treats your body holistically, rather than focusing attention on the one injury. An athlete himself, I know that the advice he gives me on training and stretching is golden. I have gone back to him regularly over the last three months and I feel as strong and healthy as I did before the injury. I highly recommend OMBE for all of its services, and particularly Erik Vose for any injury that goes beyond the need for primary care.

• Pros: Warm, welcoming, relaxing and informative

Amazing Place and Great Massage

by Sarah Bound

First of all, Kristen's massage was just what I needed. Kristen is very thorough, yet non invasive during her health interview which made me feel very safe. I immediately knew I was in well trained and educated hands, and the massage results only proved it. I arrived with a nagging headache and minor injury and major discomfort in my neck and shoulder, and left feeling revived, yet relaxed without a head ache, and with less tension and increased mobility in my neck and shoulder. The massage experience was more than I expected, and the benefits improved my health! A great way to spend an hour after a busy, stressful day.

The place was incredible! It is beautifully decorated - very hip, yet relaxing; and was furnished with natural and unique pieces. To top it all off, the environmentally and organic conscious efforts throughout the space were profound! WELL DONE! Very inspiring!

• Pros: Kristen's Massage Therapy, The place, Easy access from the T
• Cons: None

Exceptional Massage!

by morningwalker

OMBE's tranquil and welcoming space is the perfect backdrop for Kristen's wonderful massage. She's a professional in every way, initially addressing my issues and preferences, and then delivering a soothing and seamless massage that quickly and effectively released my areas of tension and allowed me to just let go. I didn't want my session to end, but when it did, I felt longer and wider and just floated home! Kristen is an excellent therapist with a great and warm personality. This experience exceeded my expectations in every way...it was great!

• Pros: Beautiful space, excellent massage
• Cons: None - it's a great experience

Hidden Gem / Great Massage

by Lutzy14

A hidden gem in Copley Square!! I was shocked how nice Ombe is and how relaxing and comforting the atmosphere was (probably because Ombe is located between Burger King and Wendy’s). The only thing better than the atmosphere was the massage! Kristen was great and found every single knot that I had!! I have had many massages in the past, but Kristen focused on my needs and relieved some of my past injuries. I highly recommend Ombe for all of your massage and other needs.

• Pros: Atmosphere & Great Massage
• Cons: Parking

Great Massage from Kristen

by jimB

I had my first massage at OMBE with Kristen The other day, and the experience was great. OMBE has a wonderful location, right in Copely Square. Even though it's in the heart of the city, the space is very quiet. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, with a warm and inviting massage room. The complementary organic teas, and comfortable waiting area topped off my initial impressions.

Kristen was great! We went over my previous injuries, and what I would need to help alleviate my discomfort. I prefer deep pressure massages, and once Kristen found the level I liked, she delivered consistently throughout the entire massage. I left calm and relaxed, and would recommend the entire experience to anyone.

• Pros: Convient Location
• Cons: Parking can be difficult

best massage ever!

by edee

I have had many massages over the years, some in top notch resorts and health spas, but none have them have equaled the massage I received by Kristen Lutz at OMBE. She tailors the massage to meet your individual needs and goals. Her touch is extremely soothing and restorative and her impressive skills belie her years. I work in the health care profession and have met skilled healers and she is among them. I wholeheartedly recommend her

Wonderful Massage!!

by sue l

I have had several massage experiences in my life, but recently my massage with kristen was the best! she was extremely professional, and she targeted areas where i needed the most work. i felt she listened to my needs making my massage experience just what i needed to help my body feel better from the insults from work and running. i will definitely return frequently to kristen, as the experience was just what i am looking for. OMBE was a wonderful atmosphere and i highly recommend both kristen and OMBE.

Great small class yoga in back bay

by bostonian5

I've taken yoga at several places over the years - from private classes to 40 people large group classes - and Rachael's class at OMBE is the best that I've found.

The studio is spacious and well kept - very clean - with huge windows overlooking the trinity church. The studio provides mats for class or you can bring your own.

Rachael is a very skilled instructor who is able to offer personal attention to each student (max class size is 6) but still maintain the flow of the class. She is particualrly good at noticing when students are lost and offering extra instruction where needed. This is one of the few yoga classes where I did not feel disjointed from the pace of the rest of the class.

I highly recommend!

• Pros: beautiful clean space
• Cons: parking can be tough during red sox games

Pilates with Sharon

by JeannePaule

Sharon was my first Pilates teacher. I was new in this country and new to Pilates, thus I was scared but she is so nice, we had fun and I worked hard talking in 3 several langages. She is wonderful person and a terrific instructor, she made me accomplish things that I thought were undoable. Thank you!
