You'll be pleased to know that my PT guy was MOST impressed to see how much better my knee looks compared to last Fri. 🙏 - K. R. NYC
Paula is so good at what she does — just moments after leaving her office, I felt lighter and more balanced in a way that is hard to put into words. She is so kind and attentive, and takes extra care to explain what she is doing. This made me feel safe and I appreciated that so much as someone who has a hard time letting go of control. I felt she was so attuned to what my body and mind needed during our session, which was unlike anything I’ve experienced before. She very clearly is meant to do this work! - Sherina Persaud Ph.D. NYC
Paula is an incredible professional. She really cares about you. My health improved significantly after her treatments. I really recommend her. - B.T. NYC
My back is so much better. I can’t tell you how thankful I am. You are truly such a gift. - Laura L. NYC
Paula works wonders. She's incorporated tok sen, a Thai massage technique, that has been incredibly helpful in speeding recovery of a strained shoulder muscle, for example. Paula is a master at finding out what's wrong through palpating and then has an amazing healing touch. I highly recommend Tok Sen! - Katarina W. NYC |
Paula is a uniquely gifted therapist with a curious mind that continuously seeks out new modalities in bodywork. I've benefited from cupping, bio syntonie, gua sha, and now tok sen. Most recently she worked on my sinuses and they miraculously cleared up within a week. I haven't felt this good at this time of year in a long time. Highly recommended! - Dee G. NYC |
Venue is personable, clean cozy, cheerful and welcoming. Paula's passion and knowledge for healing and well-being can be seen as soon as entering her home office. Great healing bodywork. I prefer massages that relieve specific pain areas. Yesterday I had the best massage work by Paula. She listened to my issues and nailed it during the massage therapy. She used various modalities though Tok Sen became my fave. I was amazed at its tension releasing effects and how Paula was catching all my knots. The atmosphere is personable and welcoming. This is not your "resort spa" foofy massage. If you're in pain I would give Paula a shot, she knows what she’s doing. - Caroline B. NYC
I've been going to Paula for several years now. She's worked with me to keep me in shape for marathons and all sorts of physical adventures. She can read your body, work with you, help you to understand your body and goals, and make you and your approach to a healthy body and mind stronger. - Nick T, NYC
Been a client for the past 4 years, Paula's professionalism is what makes the difference. - Arnaud C, NYC |
Paula is an extremely talented therapist. You don't go to her for a simple "spa" massage - you go to her to have new and/or chronic body issues worked out. Sadly for her business, she does such a great job that I don't need to see her that often! - KW, NYC |
Paula is just amazing. Friendly and professional, I noticed a difference with just one visit and plan to continue seeing her. - Parul P, NYC |
Always a great experience with Paula. She really knows her stuff and cares about her clients. I always leave feeling better than when I walked in. - Anonymous |

An all round fantastic experience. - Melissa R, NYC |
Very amazing experience and transformation of my problems. - Anonymous |
I greatly appreciated Paula's great measure of care and involvement and the time she took to work with me and understand what was going on in my body, as well as the ideas she gave me with how to work with my health conditions on and off of the massage table. I only had an hour long appointment but she spent more than two hours with me and I left feeling great! Thank you. - Anonymous
I think Paula is good at what she does. She has alternative therapies that may seem a bit weird, but the results are very good. And what I especially love is that she doesn’t clock watch. She won’t go way over the time you booked, but she doesn’t just stop. She makes sure you’re in a good place and that you got what you wanted. Strongly recommend. - Mary Kay F, NYC |
As usual a visit at Paula is an eye opening experience as she is providing you with a world of knowledge, insight and skill and most important she has an amazing healing touch!! Would love to go and see her more regularly! - Birgit H, NYC |
I went to Paula after hearing rave reviews from close friends knowing basically nothing about what I would actually be doing with her, and she made me feel completely at ease. The best way to describe her is that she is just gifted and loves what she does. I feel amazing and I can’t wait to continue to see her and learn about myself. Thank you Paula! - Laura L, NYC
Loved every minute. Looking forward to another session! The experience centered me and allowed me to be more relaxed. I did not have any uncomfortableness . I followed Your advice and drank lots of water. - Stacia M, NYC |
Paula offers a comfortable, easy and nurturing environment and gives a customized massage. I had the 90 minute intense massage and felt significant relief afterwards. I will be coming back for additional sessions. - Catherine B, NYC |
Paula diagnoses problems carefully and then solves them. Her massage techniques are extraordinarily effective. The best. - Susan B, NYC |
Paula is a gifted practitioner with great sensitivity to the issues of the body that cause discomfort and amazing at relieving those. She knows when to recommend further medical attention, but is widely schooled in alternative therapies. I always feel good when I leave. - Deanna G, NYC
I thought the treatment provided was very thorough, competent and very very helpful. I genuinely felt better and continue to see improvements. - Anonymous |

Amazing! - Tina S, NYC |
Very effective treatment. - Anonymous |
This is my second appointment with Paula. She is very tuned in to the body and can "hear" where the achy spots are -- even if not previously known to me. She then gently or firmly ( whatever I am comfortable with) resolves the spot which somehow also provides relief to another spot ( somehow related). To me, I find Paula a miracle worker. I feel fantastic!! - Catherine B, NYC
Transformative. - Rebecca, NYC |
As always, flawless. - Arnaud C, NYC |
Everything was great. - Jan C, NYC |
I found Paula to be honest, sincere, very knowledgable and committed to actually helping her clients. She answered my questions during my session with thoughtful care and used her considerable experience to work on the issues I was dealing with in my body. She's one of those rare practitioners who clearly loves what she's doing and is invested in aiding others. - Ian J, NYC

"I was most impressed by Paula's depth and versatility of knowledge and experience. Paula is very generous with her time and caring and wants to solve and heal both the cause and effect." - Nicholas K. NYC |
"I've been going to Paula for about four years now, referred to by a friend. While Paula can help with aches and such if you view your visit as a one-off, her real assistance and value will shine through if you believe that what does and each visit you make is part of a process to make you stronger, healthier, more aware of how your body is doing, and what you need to do to maintain a vibrant life. She can read your body well, and help you help yourself. If you trust in her, her skills, and advice -- and I think many must keep an open mind about her advice as I have -- you will better be able to let her help and assist you, build you up, while you learn to do what you need to do to make yourself stronger outside visits to her office. As a runner who has been getting stronger and faster every year into my 40s with her assistance, she has been a very positive force in my life. I would highly recommend going to see Paula -- but listen, trust and think of going to Paula as a step in the right direction. She certainly can take that kink out of a muscle, but trust me, your body is likely to have more going on that you think. So trust her...ask her for her advice. And say hello for me while you're there..." - Nick T. NYC

"I saw Paula for my painful sciatica. After one session with her, I was able to walk normally and the pain and numbness were completely gone." - Jennifer H. NYC |
"The bodywork that you performed on me when I was visiting New York worked wonderfully. I had been in constant lower back pain and the left side of my neck was out of kilter. After your treatment, I was vitally refreshed and the pain was gone. It has NOT returned." - Mia Rose, President, miarose.com
Yesterday after leaving, I suddenly realized after walking two blocks that the circulation pain in my right leg that I felt for two years was gone. It is a miracle in one session what it does. - Anonymous |
"Paula is a highly skilled and intuitive healer. I cannot recommend her work highly enough." - P.K., NYC |
Something wonderful happened to our (ADD/ADHD) daughter that day. She was an absolutely different child on the way home than she was on the way into the city. Coming in, she was on edge, full of fear and convinced something terrible was going to happen to us. On the way home, although we were stuck in horrendous rush hour traffic and it took us a long time to get home, she was calm, relaxed, uncomplaining and just a pleasure. I don't get it, but we've told everyone we know about it. I'm sure you saw the difference in her from when she arrived at your office, and when she left. - Anonymous Mom, Long Island
You are right about BioSytnonie processing colds quickly - I had a bad cold on the train home, and now it is gone! (Insert Twilight Zone theme) - Kathy, Canfield Design Studios |
I would recommend Paula's therapy and EMF protection to anyone who has had unexplained health problems, especially if they live in a city. - E.K., New York City |
