Path Bodywork & Wellness

Mary is Amazing. She is sweetie, nice, and you feel as if you known her forever. She did a great job with my mom. My mom (asian) was impressed after the session. She loved it. My mom would not stop telling me how great Mary was at what she does. My mom rarely tells me she like things, but this experience was great for her. She really, really enjoyed it. If my mom likes it, you will also !

Mary is good with her hands. Her mouth and her negative attitude are the worse I have ever seen in my 18+ years of getting Massages. I had received a Groupon from my husband. When I originally tried to schedule (2 months earlier) she was moving to a new location and was very limited with available times. In the mean time I found a wonderful gal and place (not thru Groupon or with discounts) that I was seeing every 2 – 3 weeks for my chronic back and neck pain (2 recent surgeries). I booked my massage online 15 days in advance for Mary with a note asking her to contact me as the date I chose was 7 days past the expiration and I would choose a different date and time before it expires if she needed me to; I live in Forest Lake and booked this for a day I would be in the area. She contacted Groupon the day I booked and confirmed it. The night before my massage she stated she read my note and I would owe another $ 51. When I arrived I talked to her about the Groupon being notified the day I requested and that it sounded suspicious she didn’t read the note that went with it. She then said «fine, I will honor the Groupon price as I will never give you a massage again». At that point I asked for my money back and she said she couldn’t. Thus we went ahead with the massage (I know I should have cancelled and contacted Groupon). The room is extremely small and you can clearly hear people talking and walking above you — not a spa like atmosphere, no way would this spa room be worth the original $ 100/​hour. During the massage I was finally feeling calmer (hard to get calm going into a massage like that) and I complimented Mary and said she gives a good massage. Her comment? «Yeah, I know» with sarcasm and negativity in her voice. I have been getting massages for 18+ years and I have never once not tipped. I always tip at least 20% and if it’s a Groupon I would tip the original price. I could not bring myself to tipping her. I have found a wonderful place that I get my massages from and I go every 3 weeks like clock work. I do not recommend Mary or this location for a massage, she is one of the most negative persons I have ever dealt with. If you want to use Groupon I recommend looking for other Groupon specials. If no Groupon in no way are her services with said location worth $ 100/​hour.

I saw Mary for my first massage EVER and she provided a relaxed environment, answered all the questions I had as a first timer without me even having to ask them! She did a great job and I am looking forward to my next appointment already!

I am finding out that with therapists, like any other profession, you get what you pay for. With Mary, you get what you pay for plus so much more. I have tried several modalities in search of relief for anxiety and complex upper body pain symptoms. Mary was the first therapist that was smart and patient and caring enough to figure things out with me. She asked a little about my life and the longer arc of where I have been — and about where I want to be. Asking the right questions allowed her work to be effective immediately: In the first session, she relaxed me with a very nurturing massage — which set up incredibly effective trigger point work on my scalenes, shoulders and upper back. When she is targeting certain muscles she takes care to be very accurate. On top of it all, her voice is just very soothing. For the first time in a long time, my symptoms actually went away (for days).

I’ve received dozens of massages and Mary’s work is — hands down — one of the best I’ve ever had. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and understood muscles and knots on a medical, skeletal level. She’s ruined me for other masseuses!

I saw Mary for a torn rotator cuff, and she’s amazing. She was very knowledgeable, as well as intuitive. She listened to what I wanted, and was just the right amount of talk vs quiet. Definitely recommend, and already made my follow up appointment with her. 10 out of 10 rating for sure!
