“My shoulder/neck was locked up, and I was in pain. Andrew did intensive therapy on my shoulder and neck with enough pressure and targeted know-how to get things right again; I was back to healthy again in short order. Definitely will go back and I recommend him.”
– J.H.
“Andrew is truly one of the best massage therapists I’ve ever worked with. His approach is intentional, professional, and tailored to each unique person. He has a rare depth of understanding of his work, and his passion for helping others shines through in both his practice and the way he runs his business. Andrew is adaptable, trustworthy, and genuinely thoughtful. I always look forward to my sessions with him and cannot recommend him highly enough!”

“Andrew is a fantastic and knowledgable massage therapist! After seeing a number of massage therapists across several states, I can confidently say that Andrew is super talented, professional and is a good listener (so important). He checked on my comfort level a few times (but not too many). I left feeling relaxed and will most definitely be back. He is an absolute gem!”

– C.G.
“Andrew is an incredibly intuitive massage therapist. The very first time I booked with him, I only scheduled a 60-minute session, and within just a few minutes, I was wishing I had booked a longer one. He has a real gift for finding exactly where your body needs attention and addressing it without you even having to say a word. He always makes me feel comfortable and creates a relaxing, safe environment every single time. I also really appreciate his dynamic range — whether I need deep, focused work or a more restorative, relaxing session, he adjusts seamlessly based on what my body needs that day. I can’t recommend Andrew highly enough. If you’re considering booking with him, just do it — and book the longer session. You won’t regret it!”

“I had an exceptional experience with Andrew Shaffer. From the moment the session began, it was clear that he brings a high level of presence and professionalism to his work. His touch is incredibly intentional — not just going through motions, but truly tuned in to what the body needs. What stood out most was his ability to key in on specific areas that needed attention. I came in with a few particular concerns, and not only did Andrew listen carefully, he addressed each one with focused precision. The session felt both therapeutic and restorative — a perfect balance of skill and intuition. If you’re looking for a massage therapist who listens deeply, works with purpose, and delivers real results, I highly recommend Andrew. His work is thoughtful, effective, and grounded in genuine care.”

“Andrew is great. Low key, soft spoken, and listens to your needs. As someone who had previously always seen female practitioners, I was apprehensive at first but Andrew put me at ease immediately. He’s professional and really knows his craft. Always a great massage!”
– S.G.
“Fantastic massage! Deep, intuitive, caring and responsive. Andrew is naturally gifted! I’ve been a massage therapist for over 20 years and am very particular about who I have work on me; I am so grateful to have Andrew helping me stay loose and pain free. I highly recommend him.”

“Andrew is a very talented massage therapist and I have always had great experiences with him! He is professional, grounded, and intuitive, and pays close attention to client needs. I can’t wait for my next bodywork session with him, thanks Andrew!”
– O.S.
“Andrew provides thoughtful and compassionate massage and is communicative and an excellent listener. I’m able to let him know at the beginning of each session where I’m at, where I feel work is needed, and how I’m hoping the session will offer relief and benefit. He’s attentive and also takes time as sessions are wrapping up to reflect — he welcomes feedback before, during, and after each session and takes the time to get to know your particular needs (and remembers them the next time you come in!). Very grateful for his work, and highly recommend him as a practitioner!”

“I tore a muscle (waist height) about 5 years ago. No amount of physical therapy or trigger point injections by an anesthesiologist cured the pain problem. Andrew determined which muscle caused the problem and worked on releasing the tension, thus reducing pain. Extremely effective! Andrew has a calm demeanor, very relational, checks in frequently during treatment, and is totally in tune with his clients. I can’t recommend him highly enough. (There’s also parking spaces at his building, which can be difficult to find in downtown Montpelier!)”
– K.W.
“Andrew is very good at what he does his prices are fair and he has a sliding scale which is helpful. He has helped me with my fibromyalgia pain and hip displacement issues a lot thank you”
