Neshama Therapy, TCM

I had bad back pain one day to the point where I had to call in sick to work. I called and was able to get a same day appointment.
I thought it was a bit strange at first because it was location in an apartment building, however that uneasiness quickly went away. After you buzz in, she greats you at the door to the apartment so you don’t have to knock.
The room is set up very nicely, you would think you were at any other spa. It was very relaxing and displayed Chen’s education. The room also helped to avoid all outside noise like walking, doors closing etc. that I hate when I’m trying to have a relaxing massage.
She did an excellent job. She fixed my back, and was the massage was so relaxing that I actually fell asleep. Chen is very knowledgable and educated and even gave me some stretches and suggestions and other treatments I could try.
Cancelled my next appointment b/​c my back felt better, but she still called to wish me and well and told me to give her a call if there are any other issues — I certainly will.

Chen is a fantastic massage therapist. The atmosphere in her studio is calming and Chen has a very soothing presence. She has a great range of massage therapy techniques, including sliding cupping a technique that works wonders on my back. I would highly recommend Chen. She makes you feel very comfortable and knows the body’s anatomy very well. She found all my trigger points and knew exactly what to do to relieve the stress in my upper cervical region. Overall, its a great massage and I have ended my search for a qualified therapist that knows what they are doing. The experience is always consistent and that is very hard to find in the service industry.

I went to see Chen Weinberg, RMT at Neshama Therapy for a chronic low back and sciatica problem I was having. After 3 sessions of combined massage therapy and acupuncture, the symptoms of pain down my leg and discomfort in my back has finally gone away and I can get back to enjoying life and work again. Chen is very good at feeling out the body and is able to rely on her vast knowledge of Eastern and Western schools of healing to find the best treatment plan to get you and your body back into homeostasis (balance). I definitely recommend you go see her for whatever ails you and believe me, you won’t regret it.

I’ve been going to Neshama Therapy for several years for massage.
Neshama Therapy is not only the name of Chen Weinberg’s massage therapy business, but according to her it describes her unique combination of massage techniques and holistic healing philosophy that make up her practice.
When I first started going to Neshama, Chen (who I’ve gotten to know a bit since I’ve been going) has treated me with a combination of Shiatsu and Western therapeutic massage, and quickly solved my chronic shoulder and back pain that had been bothering me for months. I usually schedule myself for massages when I’m feeling aches and pains, because the treatment almost always solves the problems (in my case, from sitting working at a desk all day) immediately. I admit I have gone for treatments once or twice when I was just feeling mentally stressed, and on those occasions I walk out completely relaxed both physically and mentally, it’s a real treat.
Recently, Chen began incorporating several Chinese massage techniques into my treatments, like «moving Cupping» and «Tui Na», both of which work on energy pathways in the body («meridians»). At the end of the first treatment that included these techniques, I was so totally relaxed, more relaxed than I remember being for a long time. But within an hour of leaving Neshama, I felt a burst of energy in my body that felt like I was ready to run a marathon, and that energy lasted for hours — it was totally unexpected. (I know this sounds a bit like a «snake-​oil» claim, but this was truly my experience!)
All of my friends who I’ve referred to Chen have stuck with her, and we all agree that we haven’t experienced anything like Chen’s treatments anywhere else. Chen is a true healer and I totally recommend her.
