Almost Heaven Massage Therapy is run by Prudence Magee, a life long native of Martha’s Vineyard and the mother of two daughters. At her cozy and inviting studio located at the Great Harbor Triangle, Prudence Magee has treated many islanders since 1998 with sensitivity, compassion and understanding. Feeling that she wanted to dedicate herself to the well-being and care of others she enrolled, while working at the hospital on the island, at the prestigious Muscular Therapy Institute in Cambridge, in February of 1996. Two years and 900 hours of intensive training later she graduated and opened up the doors at Almost Heaven Massage Therapy.

Being a mother, she has taken a special interest in the treatment of pregnant women and since graduating from MTI, she has continued her education, taking various workshops for pregnancy massage. She holds memberships with Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals and the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork.

Today she is the proprietor of a complete massage studio where several therapists cooperate to provide a holistic approach and the highest standard of treatment is offered.

All participating therapists are licensed and members of one or more National Professional Massage Therapy and Bodywork Associations. They all represent varieties of expertise and are knowledgeable and capable of helping you experience reduction in pain and stress to increase your sense of well being. Since each person is different a careful assessment is done prior to each new client treatment and the studio has deep knowledge of the treatments outlined below. A program developed for your personal needs can consist of a combination of these treatments or focus one of them. It is all about you.

Relaxation Massage: This commonly practiced form of massage combines a variety of techniques that are focused on the body’s soft tissues assisting your body to release stress and tension. A minimum session of 60 minutes in length is recommended for maximum results.

Deep Tissue: Deep tissue works through muscle tension layer by layer, reaching the deeper muscles where chronic pain and tension may be released. This type of work is usually slower than regular body work, allowing the soft tissues to open at deeper levels. Since deep work requires more time to release the tension in specialized areas, your treatment will not always encompass all areas of your body in one session.

Pregnancy Massage: Massage is an ideal therapy for the expectant mother who needs to take time out to unwind. Massage helps you to relax, increase your energy, and relieve the discomforts you may be experiencing due to increased weight and ongoing hormonal changes. The caring touch of massage can help you experience your changing body in a positive, accepting way.

Reflexology: Focuses on points of the hands and feet believed to correspond to each organ, gland and structure of the body. Reflex points are manipulated to reduce tension, improve blood supply and reestablish harmony among body functions.

What better way to treat yourself or some one you care about. Massage Gift Certificates makes thoughtful and appreciated gifts. With the stream of returning clients to her studio, Prudence knows that she has created a special place on the Island, something that works and brings relaxation, tension relief and harmony to Body & Soul.
