A short drive home afterwards
After a good massage, the last thing anyone wants is a long drive. From Lincoln Park ours is a short one: under three miles west on Route 202, about six minutes without traffic, to 624 Main Road in Towaco.
Three massages, three different jobs
- Swedish (60 or 90 minutes). Long, flowing strokes and gentle pressure calm the nervous system, help circulation and bring on deep relaxation. A good pick for stress, poor sleep or a first massage.
- Deep tissue (60 or 90 minutes). Slower, more deliberate work in the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, for tension that has settled in and stiffness that limits how you move.
- Lymphatic drainage (60 minutes). A gentle, rhythmic massage that encourages lymph fluid to move, used for certain kinds of swelling and for recovery after some surgeries.
One question helps you choose: how do you want to feel tomorrow morning? Deep tissue can leave you a little sore for a day, much like after a hard workout. If a wedding or a long flight is a day or two away, Swedish may be the better booking.
Add-ons worth knowing about
Any session can be extended, at an additional cost. A craniosacral scalp massage works on the head, neck and spine; 30 minutes of trigger point therapy goes after one stubborn knot without turning the whole hour into deep tissue; reflexology applies pressure to points on the feet; and Reiki, heated stones or a CBD oil massage add another layer of calm.
Your therapist
Sessions are with Maryann Constantino, LMT, a licensed massage therapist with a holistic and therapeutic focus. She listens first, adjusts pressure and technique as the session goes, and aims for you to leave both more relaxed and moving more easily.
Lincoln Park clients ask
How should I get ready? Wear something comfortable, drink some water, skip a big meal just beforehand and arrive a few minutes early for paperwork. Mention any injuries, recent surgeries or medical conditions.
Should deep tissue hurt? It should feel strong, never sharp. Ask for lighter pressure whenever you need it, because a muscle bracing against pain will not let go.
Can I book a weekend massage? Saturdays we are open from 9 am to 1 pm.

I recently had a Moxi and BBL laser treatment with Shannon, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From start to finish, Shannon was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the entire process. She took the time to explain exactly what to expect during the treatment and provided thorough aftercare instructions to ensure I get the best results. If you are looking for someone skilled and attentive for your skin treatments, I highly recommend booking with Shannon!
