The Spring Wellness Center - Old Saybrook, Connecticut

Kate Aiello

I got a prenatal massage yesterday and it was the worst massage of my life. It was with Melissa Titus. Her hand movements were super fast and were jolting my body back and forth. It made my heartburn even worse than usual, to the point of nausea a few times. I appreciate strong pressure, but felt she was just jabbing her finger into places with tension, and today they feel even more tense. I expressed that my feet have been incredibly swollen and uncomfortable and she massaged those for less than a minute each. I was also asked to sit straight up from laying on my back at 35 weeks pregnant, which felt incredibly inappropriate for this stage of pregnancy. I also felt the sheet was loose, and that there were points when my butt crack were out, which I did not appreciate. She also called my private parts “the goods” when she was asking me to wait to turn over. “So you don’t flash me the goods” was how it was phrased. Overall it just felt incredibly unprofessional.

The aromatherapy add on was not what I was expecting. I was expecting it to be diffused during the session, and instead was applied to her hands and allowed me to take a few deep inhales of it before the massage began. Not at all worth $15. Additionally the relaxing music stopped maybe 1/3 of the way through the session.

Disappointed is an understatement for an uncomfortable mama to be.

It’s been a month since my BHQ with Kate and I am still thinking about and reflecting on my session. If you are considering this type of experience, please don’t hesitate, Kate is the best. She was thoughtful, kind, responsive and experienced in guiding me through. I think that many people are skeptical about what a session like this can do for them, but I found it to be very meaningful and beneficial. I highly recommend Kate and Spring Wellness.

We had a girls weekend in the area in May 2021 and booked Kate (and Abigail, another therapist she brought) to come to the house we were renting to give massages. They were awesome! They brought their own tables and linens and because the weather was nice we set up in the backyard and had the most relaxing wonderful massages. Would definitely recommend and book again the next time we’re in the area!

39 weeks pregnant, I recently had been experiencing anxiety like I had never before. I'm not the one to do much for myself, let alone get a massage. Kate made me feel so welcomed and comfortable. I can't put into words how helpful this experience was. I felt like myself again and could breathe.
I'm looking forward to being a frequent client of hers.

Kate and The Spring Wellness Center, simply put, saved me from having to have shoulder surgery. Due to a plethora of old sports injuries, I have had deep tissue, therapeutic massages and physical therapy elsewhere, but Kate is the only one who has been able to give me back my freedom of movement. Kate is the most intuitive and experienced deep tissue practitioner I have ever encountered. She is the best, hands down. Her center is spotless, welcoming and professional. Kate and her Spring Wellness Center are a gift to all who call the shoreline home.

Jen is amazing! Haven't had a massage in 3 years and she hit all my problem zones and would check in to make sure the pressure was acceptable (but not a lot to the point it being annoying.) Will definitely be going back.

Been here twice so far and both times I left completely relaxed and satisfied! Laurie is amazing at what she does and this is now my go to massage spot!
