Olsen Shiatsu & Massage

I hate oil Swedish massage so finding a Shiatsu, Acupressure, Reiki Energy therapist is difficult. Pamela is my dream come true! Her technique and ability to remove aches and pains is an uncanny goodness!

Have had a quick shoulder massage for a charity event with Pam… She was wonderful… I can’t wait to the full treatment later in July

The wonderful aspect of working with Pamela is how personalized she makes the therapy. She took the time to understand my needs and issues, made adjustments during the session based on how my body was reacting, and managed to provide the perfect centering and de-​stressing treatment. She was flexible in arranging the session, the studio was wonderful, and the whole experience one of the best of many massage experiences I’ve had. Above all Pamela is caring and calming presence which adds an extra dimension of relaxation.
If you are looking for massage therapy that will provide lasting results to your specific needs, then you should work with Pamela.

Absolutely amazing healing work. Pamela knows how to gently manipulate the body and provided a wonderful intro session. I cannot wait to return in 2 weeks!

I had the pleasure of getting a wonderful massage from Pamela last week. The environment was calm, serene — just perfect for a relaxing experience. Pamela worked wonders using her knowledge and experience to find the body pressure points/​meridians to remove any tension. At the end of the massage session, I was rejuvenated and ready to face the New Year. I strongly recommend Pamela in her skills in Shiatsu and Massage.

I was looking for a massage therapist who’s well versed in different techniques for a while now. I’m so fortunate to find Pam! My session with her actually started with a phone call prior to my visit to her serene clinic near Penn station. She took notes over the phone to find out my needs, which was a nice touch. I suffer from low back pain most of my adult life and need special and careful attention to that area. I was also quite impressed that Pam uses different techniques during the session depending the needs. She used swedish, medical, shiatsu and even cupping during one session and I walked out of the session feeling light and relaxed. The best part was the feeling over next few days: even though I exercise regularly, it thanks to the massage with Pam that I felt more toned and defined and my lower back is still pain free almost a week after. Definitely will book with her again in few weeks, she’s amazing!

Pam has found out her gift in life and uses it to the benefit of her clients!
I have very often tendinitis and suffer from a lack of flexibility but Pam’s miracle sessions always provide wonderful relief!
To top the experience off, she provides great general simple but powerful advice on how to do things better and improve on your body issues.
Pam, I am glad you decided to help us!!! She is a wonderful person too!

One hour with Pam and not only do you feel great, but you learn lots of new things! Pam goes beyond massage to teach patients what their problem areas are and gives suggestion on how to improve them daily. She also explains the difference in each kind of massage, and works around the client’s preference. In the two weeks since my massage, I am already looking differently at how my body moves and what I can do to minimize pain.

This was my first professional massage and Pam was terrific. I did not know the difference between Shiatsu, Swedish, and Deep Tissue so she give me a sampling of each and educated me on the differences. Pam not only took her time getting to know what my ailments were, but also helped me to understand what each massage was and why it would help. Pam was great and I would definitely recommend her.

I’ve been getting massages all of my life so my standards are pretty high when it comes to massage therapists. Pamela certainly is a cut above the rest. She was able to work out some tough areas of my body that are chronically aching. As someone who is very tall and works looking down all day, she was able to understand holistically what my body needed and provide treatment that helped all of me de-​stress and get pain free. She’s also very knowledgable about different techniques, including Shiatsu and when she meets you, she takes the time to get to know you and will guide you on what methods are best for your body. I highly recommend her — you will be in good hands!

Pam is an excellent healer who takes the time to get to know you, your body, and the best approach at balancing your body and chi. She goes beyond the hour session and follows up with you by laying out certain exercises/​stretches you could do to what foods may help you. Within two sessions, a constant pain I had in my hip disappeared and my overall well being sky rocketed. She has a magic, healing touch and instantly makes your body receptive to it. I highly recommend Pam to anyone who either wants to just relax or who needs some realignment of chi/​healing.

Pamela is wonderful! She has magic hands. Pam is a calming force from the moment you walk in. Her intake is thorough and she takes the time to listen to what you want/​need and asks questions that target the heart of the matter. She also assesses and finds the trouble spots within your body. As a photographer, I have lots of tension muscle fatigue, and overuse in my arms, hands and back and she has been able to improve that with deep tissue massage and shiatsu. She has a great understanding of the body, how it works and moves. I highly recommend Pam to any artist that has occupational issues as well as others for overall maintenance, relaxation and injuries.

My massage with Pam was truly amazing. Pam made me feel immediately open and comfortable — her demeanor is perfect for letting you relax. The massage itself was also one of the best I personally have had — she works wonders with her hands and she keeps the communication open in case you want to adjust in any way, which makes the massage even more personal and catered. I look forward to going back soon. I strongly recommend Olsen Shiatsu & Massage!

Pamela’s massage was not only relaxing, but enlightening — she found knots and blockages in surprising places, which got me to think, feel, and move a little differently. I definitely want to make Pamela’s massage a regular part of my maintenance routine. I really feel that she has a deep understanding of the breath and energetic flow and can treat the whole person.

Pam is fabulous! Her ability to create a calm and healing environment is a big part of the experience that many practitioners miss. She is incredibly thorough not just in addressing specific issues such as injuries or knots, but from intake information to the hydrating glass of water on your way out the door, Pam addresses the whole person. She gives you her undivided attention and that is so valuable. I am a Pilates instructor and I would refer any and all of my clients to her!

Pam is an amazing masseuse. She creates a wonderfully calm, zen, relaxing space and works magic with her massaging. Pam was able to take my knotted, ultra-​tense shoulders and give them major relief — but without major pain. Pam always listened and responded to the amount of pressure I requested. I prefer a medium-​strength massage and Pam kept the level of pressure perfect at all times. I left her office feeling renewed, relaxed, and invigorated at the same time. Thank you Pam!
