Lindsay Starr
Before becoming a massage therapist, Lindsay spent her days working in marketing for a global corporate law firm. While she loved the creative side of the work, she knew she didn't want to spend the rest of her career behind a computer. She wanted to do something more hands-on and purposeful that combined her experience as an everyday athlete, her interest in wellness, and her creative background.
Massage therapy turned out to be the perfect fit, and she hasn't looked back. Lindsay earned her massage therapy education at Lexington Healing Arts Academy and has continued to expand her training through AMTA Sports Massage, Anatomy Trains courses in Structure and Function, Fans of the Hip, and Arches and Legs, as well as Thai on the Table and Manual Lymphatic Drainage. Her continuing education also includes myofascial release techniques, assisted stretching, and table Thai techniques. Lindsay is particularly passionate about working with neck and shoulder tension and helping clients feel better, physically and mentally.
For her, one of the most rewarding parts of massage therapy is seeing someone arrive feeling stressed, uncomfortable, or simply weighed down by life and leave feeling a little lighter. She believes massage therapy is more than a luxury; it can be a meaningful part of someone's overall wellness, while also recognizing that it isn't a cure-all. Her philosophy is simple: every session should include an element of relaxation. Even when focusing on a particularly troublesome area or supporting recovery from an injury, Lindsay wants her clients to have a moment to breathe, relax, and feel cared for. When you're under her care, she wants you to know that she is fully invested in your health and well-being.
Outside of Starr Wellness, Lindsay's story is just as unique. She grew up outside Boston on more than 20 acres of land surrounded by horses, chickens, sheep, and goats. She's been a lifelong cat lover, her first word, after "mama" and "dada," was reportedly "cat", and these days, her two dogs, Miles the beagle and Fenway, a Great Pyrenees mix, keep her busy when she's not working.

Massage Services
30 Minute Massage | $50
For treating an acute condition with a specifically targeted area (e.g., tension headache, foot pain, etc.) Also good for those who may not be accustomed to bodywork and/or have a condition prohibiting them from laying on the massage table for extended periods of time.
60 Minute Massage | $100
Recommended for focused, clinical bodywork, typically using the majority of the time to address a specific issue or pattern in the body. Also good for those looking for a relaxation massage.
75 Minute Massage | $125
If 60 minutes feels a little short but you're not sure you want a full 90 minutes, then maybe 75 minutes of hands-on time is the option for you! For most clients, 75 minutes will provide plenty of time for focused, clinical bodywork, while also allowing time to sink in, relax and enjoy the benefits of a full body massage.
90 Minute Massage | $150
Recommended for introductory sessions so that we can appropriately and effectively treat the body and assess for future visits. Typically used for therapeutic bodywork, 90 minutes usually allows time to thoroughly address a target area, while also providing time to incorporate the full body.
2 Hour Massage | $200
This option is great for clients who require extensive clinical bodywork. Good for addressing one or more target areas, while also incorporating the full body.
