Diana is an incredibly talented massage therapist. She cares about her clients and is attentive to their needs. I really was impressed with her constant communication during the entire massage so if the pressure was too light she would apply more and vice e versa. Diana repeatedly stated that the time in her studio was all about me and her intent was too remove all of the kinks and assist me in achieving a state of total relaxation. Well, she achieved all of those goals and more. I had a 90 minute massage that was nothing more than total bliss. Diana also incorporated hot stones into the amazing massage experience and incorporates unexpected techniques to relax you even more. She turned my back, shoulders and legs into jelly. I felt totally back in balance both mentally and physically by the time I left and the feeling lasted for several more days afterwards. If you haven’t experienced one of her massages and need to rebalance, I suggest you make an appointment to see her soon.

I've tried a number of massage therapist over the years and around the country. Diana ranks amongst the best I have used and is a methodical in her approach to massage therapy to relieve my chronic pain issues. The heated stones are awesome!!!

Diana is a master at her craft. I've been going to her for over two years and it always amazes me how much she continuously improves the experience - above and beyond expectations every time. Diana is both expert in working through tough muscular issues as well as providing a peaceful, serene moment. I cannot recommend her enough - a rare find!

Diana is wonderful! I found her searching google. Just went today. She has a great vibe which comes out in her massage. I feel like a million bucks! The hot stones are are really nice touch. Prices are very reasonable as well. I will be going back.

I have a bad pinched nerve in my neck which gets worse as the bicycle season progresses. It gets to the point where I have to stop riding. I thought I would try a therapeutic massage to help alleviate the pain. After just 1 session with Diana, I was able to ride again with little pain. I had never had a massage with hot stones before, but this really loosened up tense muscles and knots. I have tried other therapists, but Diana is the only one really able to help me. It is simple to book an appointment with her, and she is very pleasant as well. Finally, after calling several others, it turns out that they cherry on top is that she is lower priced than others who are not as good.
I would give her 6 stars if it was available!

Thank you Diana for taking me on such short notice last Saturday. After suffering for 4 days with chronic neck pain that was shooting down into my back to my shoulder blade, I was back to normal the next day after your deep tissue massage. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
See you again soon.

For the best massage EVER - go see Diana Dow! I promise you will walk out of her office feeling like you can take on the world! My husband is super picky and rarely goes to anyone more than once and he raves about her, too. She is at 2 Dundee Park, Suite B02-c. 617-823-2795.

I have had many massages and body work by some terrific people and in my opinion, Diana is up at the top with the best. She zeroed in on my area of pain and with the hot stones was able to relieve most of my issue with just 2 sessions. She is strong, but gentle, and will apply the amount of pressure you want and or need. She has a calm relaxing manner and space, is easy to schedule with, and I will continue seeing her to stay pain free. I highly recommend!

I met with Diana today for a prenatal massage. What a wonderful experience! Diana was warm and inviting. Hot stone massage was just what I needed. Diana found all the stress and tension and melted it away. I will def be back!

I have experienced the pleasure of a massage therapy with Diana. Having had many other massage therapy experiences that were fine. After Diana massage therapy I now know the difference from a fine massage therapy and a Great one. I have come to realize the importance of a skilled therapeutic massage executed by a professional, Trained individual. Beyond her professionalism, I find that Diana truly cares about each individual, their health, their circumstances – mind body and spirit. Diana is very dedicated to her profession and is, simply stated, the BEST!!!

Hi Diana,
I just wanted to thank you again for the WONDERFUL massage….. While I have had hot stone massage before, I never had one where smaller, hand-size stones were combined with lotion for a full-body massage. It felt like a day at the beach!! Where the warm sun just totally warmed my body. It was especially great in the middle of this snowy-snowy winter season!! AND, hours after the massage, my sore muscles are still loosening up as I walk – just super!! Looking forward to my next visit!!
See you soon,
Mary Jo

When I got to the therapy office Diana greeted me with a smile and courteous welcome. She was wonderful and I instantly knew that I felt comfortable. I proceeded to have the hot stone massage for 90 minutes. It was the first time I've experienced this and I must say it was fabulous. I felt very relaxed afterwards and wished I could have another 90 minute session right after.
The massage was great, the music was calming, the stones felt amazing, Diana is an expert in bodywork and massage therapy, and overall the quality of service was obvious to me.
I will be a repeat customer based on my first experience and I recommend that any individuals searching for a credible massage therapist contact Diana.
Thank you!

It is hard to describe how in-tune your whole body, soul and mind feel when Diana works on you. Her unique combination of skills, hot stones usage combined with her honest concern for each and every client, simply dissolves pain, tension and stress. She is amazing!

I've been having massage for over 15 years and appreciate the difference in therapists, each one is a little different. I really missed having hot stone massage so I thought I would give this a try.
Diana is an outstanding massage therapist and really understands that it is your relaxation time, not time for chatting. She is very responsive to your desired pressure level so you leave feeling good, not sore! Her skill in using hot stones for the massage is comparable to one of the top spas in the nation...WOW! We are lucky to have her right here in Andover. During the massage, she includes a moisturizing treatment for your hands and also work to your face, scalp (heavenly), fingers and toes! Many of these details are skipped by other therapists, a true sign of Diana's commitment to her work. This is not your average cookie cutter massage. If you really need to destress, treat yourself and see Diana!
The spa atmosphere is super clean, calm, quiet and decorated beautifully. Also a great place for a pedicure! The location is great, right on Main Street in the Tactician Building.
I love the availability of Sat and Sunday appointments and Diana has always been very accommodating with my desired dates and times, even on very short notice!
Highly recommend!

I have been fortunate to travel extensively throughout the world and with my stressful work schedule and back issues I always try to find time for a massage. I recently moved to Andover and visited Diana for a massage and I must say it was clearly the best one I have had...and again that is comparing it to probably 75-100 other therapists. The combination of the use of her hands with the hot stones leaves my body feeling rejuvenated, relaxed and feeling much better than when I walked in every time. Definitely recommend Diana for all of your massage therapy needs.

Diana was exceptional! Fortunately, I have received many massages from various places before including those on tropical islands, and never have I had a massage like the one Diana gave me. Between the stretching, hot stone and general relaxation I received, I felt rejuvenated and refreshed! It was truly THE BEST and I already made a second appointment.

My very first massage ever was with Diana Dow of Andover. Trying not to gush, my experience left me floating beyond myself and at total peace. The whole session with Diana was slow, peaceful and elevating. From her warm and kind welcoming smile, to the massage room itself, the massage, and follow-up, the aura of peacefulness, kindness and care carried me away. During the massage only Diana's touch indicated her presence. She gave instructions in whispers and moved about positioning herself, gathering hot stones or oil soundlessly. The aura was total. Today, a day later, I am energized, at peace and feel fantastic.

I have had a number of massages over the years, in various parts of the country, but I have never had massages as utterly relaxing and enjoyable as the ones I have had from Diana. The technique she has cultivated from various approaches and sources, combined with her use of hot stones, make for a truly wonderful experience. I look forward to every visit, knowing the stresses of the week will be washed away with every session. I highly recommend Diana!

Deane (Diana) is great! I am a Massage Therapist myself and thoroughly enjoyed her massage. Her prices are very reasonable for her talent.

I went in 6 months pregnant with an SI strain, which has been hampering my ability to do normal everyday activities, and left feeling little pain at all. The effects have lasted into the next day, which is progress for me. (written the day after the massage) I found the incorporation of hot stones into prenatal massage very soothing on sore tired muscles. It was a very relaxing experience overall, and worth a visit.
Thanks for a great massage.

I have received massages from Diana on numerous occasions and have been delighted each time. Diana is adept at making me feel comfortable and completely relaxed. During one session, I mentioned I had a sore shoulder and after she worked with it the difference was night and day. My shoulder felt wonderful when I left. I would highly recommend Diana’s services. Personally, I look forward every appointment!

As a new resident of Massachusetts, I was looking for a massage therapist as soon as I moved here and found Diana’s business on the Internet. I suffer from Fibromyalgia and it can be pretty debilitating, so I needed to find someone who understood this condition. Diana talked with me before my first massage to make sure that she understood my situation and communicates with me during the massages to make sure that everything is ok. This is not just a job for Diana; she truly loves what she does and aspires to do her best. She has given me a great deal of relief from my Fibromyalgia pain and during my sessions, I find myself letting go of stress and not focusing so much on the pain I’m in. She is not only a master of her craft, but also a fine human being and I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a massage therapist.

I had occasion to visit Ms Dow’s studio in January..I had originally scheduled an hour long session, however her skills and deep tissue massage plus the use of warm stones, led me to increase the session to an hour and a half (fortunately I was the last client of the day.)
I heartily recommend Ms Dow for anyone who has muscle tension, stress, or other aches and pains. I left feeling completely relaxed and invigorated. Ms Dow is the consummate professional.
