Olsen Shiatsu & Massage

Although the therapist, Pamela, did a decent job, I didn’t feel listened to. I asked her to spend more time on my neck (due to some issues) and skip or reduce time on something else if necessary, she spent too much time on my stomach (and I actually said I didn’t want her to work on it).
More importantly, she didn’t work out all of the knots in my neck before the hour was up – and that was the primary area of concern. Most massage therapists would have done another 10 minutes, free of charge, to take care of it – especially since it was the first time. She did not. Instead, she said she’d be willing to continue, but for more money. That didn’t leave me with a very good impression of her. Also, her prices were a bit on the high side.
Also, she acted as if she were a medical professional more than a massage therapist. She spoke about acupuncture a lot, as if she had extensive training in it, and wore a white coat as if she were a doctor of some kind. I felt a little uncomfortable with that.

I’ve visited Olsen Shiatsu and Massage twice and have been very pleased with the service that I’ve received. Located in the hart of Montclair, it is easy to get to with off street parking. The space in intimate and cozy and you feel that you are getting a true one on one experience. Pamela Olsen, the massage therapist does an in depth consultation prior to starting the service, which helped me to get the most out of my massage. Pamela is also educated in various types of massage and is actually a licensed therapist. this training shows through when she is working on your sore muscles and tight shoulders!@ I highly recommend that you visit Olsen Shiatsu & Massage

I have been to Pamela 3 times and I don’t plan on going anywhere else again. She has an amazing energy and presence and really takes her time to get to know her clients. She combines both eastern and western techniques and every time I have a question she is more than happy to explain everything. Pamela has really helped me come a long way with my injuries. In addition, she just helps me really de-​stress and unwind which helps my overall health and well-​being. I highly recommend Pamela. No matter what your need is… she will make you feel better.
