With a sweet smile and steely arms, Macera can deliver a no-joke deep-tissue massage along with more standard sports and Swedish fare. But this former yoga teacher doesn't stop there: She's certified in Reiki and cranial sacral therapies to rebalance your energies (it sounds hoaky, but we've experienced intense relief) and is the state's pre-eminent practitioner of the Collard Method, which concentrates on alignment but also examines how thoughts affect your body. A boon for the nudity averse, Collard's clothes-on; show up and Michelle will assess your needs. $90 to $125 for some serious restoration.
