"A massage at Marcus Paxton's massage studio isn't just a massage--it's an experience. From when you first enter the studio until you leave, you feel relaxed and nurtured.

The studio itself has a really good feel to it, very inviting and calming. The decor and music are so well suited to the treatment. Marcus is very welcoming and upbeat. You just know you're going to have a terrific massage just by how he greets you.

The bodywork isn't just a clock-watching rubdown but an entire set of techniques to soothe and balance. It is very obvious that Marcus is also skilled in energy work, as it is reflected in both the nature of the studio and the flow of his treatment.

All in all, the massage experience with Marcus Paxton is second to none."

"Amazing. I made an appointment with Marcus while visiting family in CT for the weekend. Living in Manhattan, I have access to some great spas and massage therapists. I can honestly say that Marcus provided the best, most relaxing massage I have had to date. Training and experience are evident from the moment the massage begins.

Per my request, I received the perfect blend of light touch plus deeper work on the knots in my back. If I am looking for a massage, I will skip the over priced NYC massage therapists and book appointments with Marcus whenever I am in CT."

"I have been a client of Marcus’s for approximately a year. In this time, my stress been greatly reduced by his ability to apply techniques based on my needs and physical challenges my body can sometime present. As an athlete and educator I have a myriad of physical and mental stressors and Marcus always asks the right questions and addresses the issues.

Marcus has a way of making me feel at ease, and I highly recommend him if you want to treat yourself to a therapeutic massage which everyone deserves.

Thanks Marcus!"

"Marcus was exceptional to say the least. His warm personality puts you right at ease as you enter his studio. He went right to work and concentrated on the spots that needed attention. I asked for a deep tissue massage and thats what I got along with some modality work thrown in. I really felt blown away when he was done and will be back. I recommend Marcus highly!"

"I’ve had problems for years with Sciatica. Finally I decided to get massages as part of my routine. After just one session with Marcus, there was a big difference. So I am now religious in going at least once a month!"

"I highly recommend Marcus Paxton as a massage therapist. He is a master in his profession and his talent matches his interpersonal skills. He is a professional and takes his work seriously. He is very attentive and adapts to the needs of his clients. The office setting is extremely clean and welcoming. Marcus is also very flexible in his scheduling. My schedule is very full and there hasn't been one appointment that Marcus could not make. I am very particular when choosing a personal service and have to say that Marcus is a great find. I would not take the time to write this testimonial if I did not believe the above to be true."
