OMG I just had the most amazing massage, and I want to tell EVERYBODY that Joan Annunziata is truly the best massage therapist I have ever been to. She is a natural and knows her bodywork. I recently moved to the Edgewater area from Manhattan and I have been to many massage therapist so I know what I'm talking about. Thank you Joan for helping me feel so much better. I will be seeing you regularly. What a gift you have. Lauren Holden

If anyone is looking for a GREAT massage therapist, I highly recommend Joan Annunziata. She's got a local oasis hidden in Edgewater, NJ. She uses hot towels, hot stones, young living oils and delicious techniques. I've had a splitting migraine for four days that nothing has gotten rid of and just one treatment with her did the trick. Check her out. Veruschka Del Rio+

 

"Joan immediately puts you at comfort and ease with her kind and warm personality. She is also incredibly knowledgeable and has taught me so many things to help my health from a massage and wellness perspective that have helped tremendously...especially when leading a desk/computer job every single day. In regards to her massages, her work is above and beyond anything that I have received in a spa, salon, etc. Her holistic methods truly do make a difference to my health (mentally and physically) and her professional and kind heart make the experience all the greaterr. I would recommend Joan and her services to anyone!"

Thanks!

"Joan is more than just a professional and excelled massage therapist, she lives and breathes her line of work, always looking for avenues to make the customer's experience one they will not forget. With chronic conditions in my neck, shoulder and back, Joan knows exactly how to handle each area that is troublesome and uses different techniques to fully getting me living a normal life. I have had the pleasure of knowing Joan for many years and highly recommend you to experience her massages and stretching/relaxation practices, overall improving your entire well-being. She has great insight and knowledge. Joan is definitely someone you can count on and will always go above and beyond. I respect and appreciate Joan as my massage therapist, and I will continue to recommend her to everyone I know. Thanks Joan"!

A rare gem- Joan is a uniquely talented professional massage therapist. Unlike “spa” treatments that focus on one technique, Joan caters each massage to the individual providing amazing relief to stress and tension. Her use of hot stones, pure essential oils, and Reiki adds to the personalized care and holistic approach Joan utilizes for each client. I’ve been seeing Joan almost weekly for five years and she has helped me to reduce stress and to prevent injury due to repetitive motion and prolonged periods of sitting. Joan genuinely cares for people and their overall health. You won’t be disappointed.

Ah, what a wonderful way to spend a moment. A massage with Joan is like no other. It starts off in an atmosphere that is inviting, safe with a feeling of sacredness, Joan usually starts off with a moment of Reiki to start the peacefulness flowing and everything else is Heaven. She knows just how to work the body with all kinds of healing modalities. Tai Massage, reiki, Deep Tissue, Swedish and many others; you name it and she probably knows it. I worked in a spa for a couple of years but when I want a massage I rather go to Joan. I would recommend everyone reading this website to make an appointment now! Thanks Joan for all your help and knowledge in always making my body feel the best that it can.

Joan has been able to offer me healing hands a long time now with the stress of work, pregnancy, travel and occasional self maintenance days. I have always felt comfortable, cared for and safe on her table...She listens! She checks in with you, asks for feedback and is responsive in her methods of individualizing her care. She encourages me to play an active part in my own treatment by putting me to work with passive resistance stretches or offering me suggestions for stretching I can do at home. She is open to ideas and interested to know what works for you...I appreciate that Joan works with me to find the right techniques and pressure to meet my needs while still making the massage a serene and relaxing experience. The benefits of her massages extend into my day-to-day wellness because Joan also helps me to understand what's going on with my muscles and joints and to identify habits potentially causing aches and knots. She has a gentle yet firm touch and very tuned in with the person she is working on.

Thank you Joan for being there for me.

I first met Joan over a year ago. I had a chair massage and it was fabulous! It's been now about a year and I can tell you this is probably the best massage I have had and I have had many. Joan is very intuitive and knows where to focus. It can be deep tissue to a more work out the kinks approach... rotator cuff problems from over use etc.. I also recommend the salt treatments, they are fantastic. The setting is very comfortable, and peaceful. I highly recommend Joan to anyone who wants a professional massage.

Best Regards.

Joan is an excellent massage therapist. She creates an oasis of tranquility to melt away all your stress. She is knowledgeable of many different techniques - Swedish, deep tissue, hot stones, etc. Joan has a nurturing way about her and can work on a specific problem area or can give a total massage treatment. She has years of experience and gives a professional, therapeutic, nurturing massage every time. Go for the 2 hour massage -  you won't regret it.

For most of my adult life, I have been plagued by tension headaches. My solutions usually led me to resort to headache medication and visits to a chiropractor. While these help to relieve the pain temporarily, they certainly do not prevent the problem from emerging again. I was fortunate to find Joan Annunziata, a dedicated therapist who offers a holistic approach to pain management. I find the massages very helpful to relieve the stress accumulated in my neck and shoulders. But just as valuable is the wealth of knowledge that Joan offers in terms of diet, exercise, and the mental work necessary to manage stress effectively. Stress is always going to be a part of our lives, but it is important to seek out the therapy that can alleviate and prevent the damage that can be caused by that stress, and the qualified, compassionate individual who can help us in that endeavor.

I began seeing Joan for chair massages at work for the past 2 years.  Working at a desk all day, I tend to hold all the stress in my neck and shoulders.  After only 30 minutes with Joan, I’m relaxed and have more energy.  Firstly, having Joan come to the office is a Godsend, secondly, she is absolutely awesome.  The hot stones and essential oils are wonderful!  I highly recommend Joan and wish I lived closer to her as I would certainly see her weekends as well.

"My father and I have been regular clients of Joan for over 7 years now. She is amazing!! I have introduced many of my friends to her as well. Hands down, her massages are the best I have ever received. She is a very caring and compassionate person and I highly recommend her massage."

 I have known Joan for many years and always look forward to her healing touch and sage advise. I live in NYC now, and there are so many therapist that I could go to, however I continue to travel to New Jersey seeking Joan's healing energy. Besides her warm and inviting manner, she continues to educate herself on the latest healing arts and alternative methods for the mind, body and spirit.

Sunday I asked Joan if she would be able to help me with my throat and subsequent issues of hoarseness and lack of range, mainly the upper register that I had been experimenting with for over a year without success. I had given up on my favorites, "Ave Maria" by Gounod, which I was able to perform prior to the operation and now was unable to do because I could not hit the highest note (A#). It was the prior highest tone of my range...

 

Joan did an impressive massage comprising of not just throat, but neck and sinuses. She was also guided spiritually and included Reike and aromatherapy in the treatment.

 

After not singing in public for some time, I did so last Friday with much success! I was so glad that my voice seemed to be all there and that the tone was very similar if not better that prior to the operation! The last thing that I had to do was test myself on my favorite song. I was a little nervous in doing this until Saturday when alone in the car, I tried it for the first time in many months...and was so astounded that I was able to actually hit that note, that I wanted to keep this gift to myself and didn't even tell my closest friend until last night! Now I just want to shout it from the highest roof top!

Thank you God!!! and thank you so much Joan Annunziata for your talent and your caring!!!
