Open Hand is a warm and welcoming place for healing. Owner Clara Parnell has facilitated a circle of talented bodyworkers and health professionals with an eye towards creating a safe and healing space for marginalized people of all sizes and genders -- and it shows! I appreciate the clear communication and inclusive language throughout the experience. I've seen Clara for massage many times, as they are both gifted and quite clearly knowledgeable. My appointments have sometimes included cupping, abdominal massage, energy work, or other modalities, and Clara has integrated these with my consent as they identify underlying issues during the treatment. Unlike some other massages, which can feel good while they're happening but cause unpleasant rebound issues with my body, my sessions at Open Hand really re-set my body and resolved the issues I came to address. In short, this is THE place that I recommend to friends and clients who would benefit from massage!

Gotten the best massages from the folks who work here. Andi's approach to bodywork always leaves me feeling relaxed, grounded, and affirmed. The space itself is exceptionally clean, pleasant, and calming.

I love Open Hand Health! I've had amazing experiences every time I go :) The space is calm, welcoming, clean, and I love that they still require masks and have air filtration in their rooms so that I know I can go without worrying about getting exposed to Covid — keeping myself and my community safe! Open Hand Health is super conveniently located, queer and trans friendly, and a place I am always recommending to my friends! :)

The space is wonderful and the healing is better! Aiden is a true healer. Haven’t experienced the other massage therapists yet but I look forward to it. I highly recommend!

Hasina is a gifted herbalist, acupuncturist and body worker. She is sensitive and attuned to her patients. Every time I go she designs a bespoke treatment based on my physical, mental and emotional well-being. I always leave feeling better. Mostly, visiting Hasina helps me feel like I have a safe haven for my nervous system to rest and repair in our wild world. The OHH space is really lovely, quiet and welcoming. It feels like a hidden treasure. Accessibility: there is 1 flight of stairs to arrive to the door.

Andi creates a warm, trauma informed, and welcoming space to bring ease. Andi’s massage therapy sessions are guided with compassion and strength to get the healing support needed for pain management and reduction.

I love this clinic! It has a very calming vibe, and the massages I have received from Milo for my car accident injury has been extremely helpful in my healing. I highly recommend!

I’ve gotten a lot of great massages but Nova gave me without question the best massage of my life. They’re intuitive, adaptable, creative, and also very strong. I felt incredibly comfortable on their table and have had the most long-lasting reduction in shoulder tension and body pain I’ve ever experienced after a massage. Highly highly highly recommend!! Also the Open Hand clinic is beautiful!

Aiden did an incredible job getting trigger points in my shoulders and neck out. They took their time and I could tell that they truly enjoyed their work. I felt so relaxed through the whole session and felt much looser in my shoulders for the rest of the week! Highly recommend!

I have been getting regular massages at open health for approximately 2 months after a car accident. 1st, Open Hand is very easy to work with through car insurance billing and I have had no issues on the paperwork side. 2nd, the space is very calming, with skylights, soothing music, a warmed massage table, and lots of plants. Finally for the actual massages: I have worked with 3 different massage therapists at Open Hand, and all have been great experiences. I have primarily been working with Nova, and she has been absolutely amazing. The first session we discuss the injury and primary areas of pain ahead of the massage. She checks in if the pressure level is good, and recommends different techniques at sessions to target certain muscles and tightness. She remembers my massage the next time I am there, so we are able to build on what has been done and provide a complete care approach to the injury. I have enjoyed every massage I've had, and would not hesitate to recommend to ANYBODY!

I have been getting post car accident care here since November and can confidently say that I have noticed an incredible change in the way my body feels and moves on a daily basis. Nova is the massage therapist I have been working with and I cannot say enough great things about them! They have made me feel welcomed, safe, heard, and like a partner in the healing process. They also are just overall great at what they do! After being to massage therapists in the past that I didn’t leave noticing a significant benefit, I am incredibly grateful to have found open hand! I continue to recommend open hand to all of my friends and family—open hand (and especially Nova!!) is/are great!

Aiden has the perfect pressure and knows exactly where to stay and work on my body longer than other parts. It was my first massage with him and I already felt like he knew my body. I'm going back!

Andi is fantastic and greatly skilled at knowing how to bring healing to the body. They made me feel like I was on cloud 9 in a grounded way and not all over the place. Thank you Andi and Open Hand for a great experience! Can't wait for my next appointment!!

Bodywork sessions with Clara are deeply intuitive and has had long lasting impact for me. Fire cupping! Queer/Trans inclusive! Very cute and energetically lovely place! Super recommend.

This place is absolutely amazing! I’ve gone once and it was incredible. I had an appointment with Andi and they were very communicative, thorough, and helpful. I have issues with anxiety and talking to people and being in new settings but they made me feel comfortable and calm. HIGHLY recommend visiting here and I am already planning on booking again.

Open Hand Health is a wonderful small business that I walk out of there feeling like a different person than when I walked in. They are trauma informed and make scheduling very easy. The space is clean and very comfortable. Self-care takes a new meaning with accessibility at Open Hand and with Nova.

Exactly what I'd been looking for in a massage studio. I'm a musician and also spend a lot of time at a computer so I consider a monthly massage a necessity for my occupational health. I have been a regular for about a year now...lovely, holistic, mindful, and client centered space. I have already recommended to several people. This business is comprehensively body positive and LGBTQI+ safe. For example, if you need an outside recommendation to a doctor or other specialist, the massage therapists at Open Hand Health will prioritize your identity, needs, and experience. They also accept insurance and offer student discounts. Thank you so much Attie for your caring and attentive work!

I've been going to Attie for my massages here and I really appreciate how thoughtful she is with her approach and I feel really well cared for during my appointments. I walk away feeling refreshed and relaxed and I really love coming here as often as I can. She is great at what she does and offers different techniques such as cupping (amongst others) which does wonders. I've referred several of my coworkers and really love this place!
