As someone with a high stress job that is emotionally and physically demanding, I knew I needed to prioritize my self care this summer. I first went to Optimal Wellness in April, and it was truly a transformative experience. The staff, particularly my Massage Therapist Michele, were incredibly kind, professional, and attentive to my needs. They asked a lot of questions, and made sure I got the experience that my body and brain needed.
As someone who has been prioritizing self-care this summer, Optimal Wellness has been an invaluable asset. Their massages have helped alleviate tension, improve my sleep quality, and boost my overall well-being. The atmosphere is relaxing and inviting, making it easy to relax and truly enjoy the experience.
I highly recommend Optimal Wellness to anyone seeking a truly exceptional massage therapy experience.

Jacob and his team are excellent! They provide thorough and comprehensive support for people at all levels of physical ability. Optimal Wellness is very reminiscent of the facilities available to athletes in my city of origin, Colorado Springs, (also known as Olympic City USA). I highly recommend them for anything from pain relief, to injury rehabilitation, to simply furthering one’s sense of integration with their body.

Jake is amazing at what he does. He has been the first person to listen to me about my TMJ/jaw dislocation and has addressed it fully to the point where i have had zero dislocations and minimal daily discomfort. I cannot thank him enough. His facility is always warm, welcoming and clean.

I have worked with Jake, Sara and Elaine at Optimal Wellness since January 2024. My advice is: Book the appointment and get started with this group. This place has completely changed my approach - for the best- to recovering from a 2 year old knee surgery. I plan to work with this group for a very long time !
Since my first session in January with Jake, my mobility, flexibility, strength and pain management have all improved exponentially. My knee flare ups no longer sideline me for a few days after a hike or jog. I am returning to running safely with Jake’s knowledge and guidance. He gives me different exercises to incorporate into my training. He knows what he’s talking about and what he’s doing ! I can’t say enough about how smart he is. I wished I had started working with him 2 years ago, but I am loving the process of making up for the lost time at Optimal Wellness.
Sara’s yin yoga classes are a complete escape into a calming, relaxing space for the hour of class. Her calming energy is palpable and I felt great for days after the long held poses. She helps you settle in for a deeper stretch by offering to assist with touch if you’d like.
I just had a massage with Elaine the other day- she has superior knowledge of the body and how the fascia, muscles and ligaments all work together. We worked together during the massage which was a really cool experience. She would guide me through certain movements while she applied pressure and I could literally feel the tension release in real time. She also took the time at the end of the session to show me a few things I can do at home with easy to find props.
This place is a haven for pain management, and mobility improvement and as we know, those things combined help to improve your mood, soul and mind. I am so happy I found this place and forever grateful for their services. Thank you Optimal Wellness !

I was lucky to connect with Michele Manzer, a skilled, caring LMT while visiting the Bershires. Her massage relieved moderate back/sciatica pain allowing me to enjoy my visit. Plus, she added key movements to my stretch routine prescribed by PT back home. For decades, I have looked to MT's for preventive and ongoing care. I highly recommend this practice and Michele - wish I lived closer as I would regularly seek her care.
