Bodywork

​

Hands down the best massage I’ve ever received. Incorporating breath work was so meditative and effective. It allowed me to totally relax and breathe into the tension spots which then lead to that much more of a release. Such a calming & safe space for healing🙏 Thanks Benj!

Very appreciative of VT Holistic Bodywork. Benj and Sara create a safe space and provide great support. My first exposure to breathwork was profound and their guidance, energy and body work helped me move inwards while also releasing physical tension in a safe space.

 

This experience led me to a healing session with Benj. It's difficult to describe with words, but it was a session that fully encompassed the physical with emotional and spiritual connection. I was able to physically release, with greater realization, of what I needed to release mentally/emotionally. I feel lighter than I have in years and have noticed the benefits on my mental health and thinking patterns. The spiritual connection is beautiful and I feel so fortunate to have found this practice in VT. I highly recommend working with VT Holistic Bodywork!

I've had the honor of getting multiple massages by Vermont Holistic Bodywork and plan to get more in the future!
The first massage I received from Benj was absolutely lovely! He provided direct attention to stuck energy and tension within my shoulders. It was such a grounding experience, even amidst a yoga festival.

The most recent experience I had was a tandem massage. Benj and Ashley were thoughtful, communicative through movement and brought relief to much of my body that has been under immense stress. I left feeling lighter and more open (especially in my back and neck!).

I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to have a restart, refresh and/or overall uplifting experience. I get multiple massages a year and nothing beats the care and quality of Vermont Holistic Bodywork.

Benj is an exceptionally talented massage therapist and kind human being.

He is intuitive, highly technical and a true healer beyond massage. Benj is the opposite of a "paint by numbers" therapist who just follows a standard protocol.

My family spent 6 months living in the Upper Valley (our Covid adventure) which was awesome, but I brought all the stress of having recently launched my New York City based business with me, not to mention all the remote learning ridiculousness! My weekly massages from Benj kept me grounded and more relaxed so I could enjoy our time - he is truly exceptional.

Last but not least, Milldale Farm is itself a special place to find peace and to be surrounded by beautiful scenery and caring people.

Benj is an excellent Massage Therapist. His Lomi-Lomi style and technique is unique and has a flow of it's own.

After a long work week, I know it's time to treat my self with a Healing Session with Benj. He is extremely knowledgeable, I appreciated that he applied "firm/deep pressure" in my massage session and reminded me to let my body relax. To allow all my worries of the day, melt away.

​

Benj is so professional! I felt extremely safe in my massage session and I would highly recommend paying him a visit.

Your health & well-being is so worth it!

Benji's passion for his craft is palpable, and he has a unique skill in creating a space of tranquility and comfort during his sessions. His massages are nothing short of amazing, and his ability to hold space is unparalleled. If you're looking for a skilled and compassionate lomi lomi teacher and massage therapist, Benji is the best choice!

I absolutely loved the content of this course. Hawaiian language and ancient philosophy is so beautiful! I loved talking about the connection between trauma and the physical body and healing. Patti was so skilled, kind, and humble! She did a great job of keeping us on course. I love that she thought to take us to the lake for our ceremony. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for telling me about this opportunity and having mme!

The training, course material and having Patti as our teacher was truly a magical experience that I will always remember and treasure. I feel like a completely new person. Healed and transformed. There's no where else I want to be, I love you all so much! 

​

I absolutely loved coming together with positive like-minded individuals. I enjoyed learning new massage techniques, being in a peaceful environment, and getting back into my spirituality and into the Hawaiian culture and language. Mahalo Nui Loa for providing this amazing course in such a beautiful and magical place!
