Testimonials

“Jodi makes me feel so alive and restored after I see her. I love when she comes to visit me! Not only is she great at making my body feel good but my mind and soul too! She is flexible, easygoing and wonderful to be around. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a massage therapist. She truly brightens up my day and makes me feel 10 years younger.”
—Roslyn Nitkin, Active Senior in her 80's

“Jodi has an energetic presence. She addresses my needs during our sessions, whether it is for relaxation or for a specific area I want worked on. She is in tune and focused during the session while always checking in with me. She also has good tips for home remedies when pain arises.”
--Lana Speyer, Active Senior in her 70's

Jodi has been working with my elderly mother-in-law (87 and failing) for almost one year. What started off as a “package of three massages” as a Christmas gift in December 2014 has developed into a lengthier connection because she enjoys the massages, looks forward to them, and indeed improves when she has them…which are every 2 weeks. Jodi has a special expertise and a soft touch with my mother-in-law who has some form of dementia that affects her speech and spends most of her time in a chair. Despite all these obstacles, Jodi is able to provide a welcome, tender and supportive massage which makes my mother-in-law feel so good.

"I first met Jodi Kaufman at the Northampton Senior Center where she was offering massage. I had a muscle in my upper back that had been bothering me for a long time. Jodi gave me multiple massages to that area and it felt much better and eventually the pain was gone! I would highly recommend her for massage therapy."
--Barbara S., Age 70, Hatfield, MA

"I have had massages with Jodi over the last couple of months. I have experienced total relaxation with her touch. I get the deep tissue pressure which makes my body more flexible. She is in tune with her clients on what they need and she listens to all their needs. I would highly recommend her and plan on seeing her again as soon as I can reschedule another massage. P.S. I have been with other massage therapists and to me, Jodi is highly qualified! Thank you!"
--Mary Lee Emrick, 60ish

"I live across the country but was lucky to find a massage therapist for my parents. I was relieved to know that Jodi was making regular visits to their home. She reported changes that she saw, which of course, I could not do. She was an extra set of eyes. Before she started working with them, she got a sense of who they were, when they were younger (professions and hobbies) which made them feel very comfortable. They (and I) looked forward to her visits. I knew they were going to feel better after her sessions with them. I am grateful for her work and time with them".

My mother Irene Silberstein was one of the initial residents at Linda Manor Assisted Living in Leeds. She moved in within a week of the opening last fall and staying until she needed a higher level of care this past June. I want to share the special relationship that she developed with Jodi Kaufman, massage therapist for seniors, who provides services at your facility. After having a massage as part of one of the ongoing activities provided by Linda Manor, Irene enjoyed the experience so much that she hired Jodi to give her massage in her apartment 2-3 times each week. Jodi is an extremely personable individual who developed a very close and caring relationship with my mother. The massage therapy was very relaxing and comforting to my mother and the special emotional relationship that she developed with Jodi provided another layer of comfort for Irene. As Irene’s son and the person coordinating her care, I can tell that it was a joy to find Jodi and be able to provide an activity that was so pleasurable and meaningful for my mother.
