Julie Robbins is outstanding. She's treated me with several amazing massages for extreme back tightness, but her recent value has been helping me recover from femur fracture surgery. I have a six-inch scar and had nearly 30 stitches. Julie's work in this area has complimented my physical therapy and helped me find relief from the pain and increased mobility. Julie communicates perfectly, and her calm but trusting demeanor has helped me relax despite the pain (and memory of the trauma). The space is a bonus -- understatedly beautiful and so very peaceful. I can't recommend Julie enough.

My sisters and I surprised our mom at her birthday, with a massage in the well for a woman. My mom had a great experience with Sherry Thomas, who did a terrific relaxing massage. My mom had a great time. Thank you, Sherry and all the staff. It is a fantastic place.

Julie has been my massage therapist for 7 years and let me say that she is extraordinary. From day one she has been kind, caring and genuinely invested in addressing my areas of concern. I’ve had therapeutic massages, lymphatic drainage, prenatal and post-natal massages and more recently MSTR massages. I always leave feeling relaxed mentally and physically. She listens attentively to my needs in terms of problem areas and application of pressure. Julie is a godsend. Although she is running a business, she never makes me feel like I’m just a client. When I walk through the door, I’m greeted warmly by the receptionist and Julie. We typically catch-up on my day-to-day activities between visits which includes stress levels and any aches and pains that I’m experiencing and from there we proceed with treatment. When I initially began MSTR treatment, my scar tissue was very tight, and as result, restricted my mobility. I typically opt for the 60-minute massage and after 60 minutes, my scar tissue is loose. Once my session is complete, I’m able to lift my arm higher and stretch my back further. If you are looking for a massage therapist, I highly recommend Julie and The Well for Woman. You will not be disappointed.

This place has been absolutely wonderful. After breaking not only my car, but myself as well, driving to New Haven for 30 hours everyone from the receptionists to the therapists have been outstanding. I have now seen Laura, Nella, Sherry, and Susan, all of whom have slowly but surely been helping me heal in just a week. I have felt immense relief after each visit and I feel like I am slowly getting my body back. I can’t thank everyone enough and will definitely be utilizing this amazing establishment while I am here in town. If you have any massage needs, this place will take care of you!

Zen space for wellness, from greetings to massage. Susan, my massage therapist was ah-mazing! Women supporting women indeed. COVID precautions are on point. My kind of wellness.

I cannot recommend The Well for Women enough. From beginning to end, it was a really great experience for a prenatal massage. Booking and check in were easy. I appreciated the covid protocols and measures, and felt very safe and well taken care of on that front. Also, a really beautiful lobby and I hope to one day go to the events that I’m sure will be there in a post-covid world. I had an incredible prenatal massage with Susan. She was very attentive to my problem areas which we discussed at length beforehand and throughout my massage. I felt very well appointed with pillows and different supports as well. I also liked the massage cream that was used because it was moisturizing without being heavy or with too strong of a fragrance. The massage itself was just so wonderful and long overdue. My only regret is not having come here sooner in my pregnancy!

The most relaxed I've been in 8 months! I was skeptical about getting a prenatal massage - would I be able to relax if I am 8 months pregnant, on my side, in a mask? Oh my gosh, the answer is yes. Thanks to Kassandy and special pregnancy pillow props I felt supported, weightless and amazing. She somehow knew all the pain points I had and exactly how to address them, and her pressure was perfect. The atmosphere at The Well is really special - amazing staff that understand pregnant people's needs and a welcoming, cozy vibe. I'll for sure be back!

I have had consistently amazing experiences at The Well and cannot recommend them highly enough! The space is gorgeous and relaxing. The staff are friendly, attentive, and extremely skilled. Every single massage I have had there has been amazing -- they really listen to what I am looking for that day, and I always leave feeling restored and more ready for whatever life sends my way.

I have been going to The Well for Women since they opened and always recommend to friends. It’s such a beautiful and welcoming space and every massage I have had has been incredible. I always leave feeling relaxed and cared for. I’ve had massages by Julie, Laura, Susan, Eboni and most recently, Heidi. They all have been wonderful, it’s clear that they only bring on very talented people to the team. I highly recommend The Well, it’s such a gem in our community!!

This was my first time at The Well For Women and I was honestly blown away. The vibe is super zen, the space is beautiful and clean, and Bridget at the front desk was so kind and welcoming. I got my massage from Julie, the owner, and it was hands down the best massage I’ve ever had. She was warm, attentive, and made me feel completely comfortable. I had boho braids in and she even asked if I wanted a scalp massage or not, instead of just assuming. I really appreciated her consideration. As a plus-size, queer Afro-Latina woman, I felt safe, seen, and genuinely cared for here. The Well For Women is such an inclusive, LGBTQIA+ safe space that truly values everyone. Can’t wait for my next visit!
