About Heather Erler

Massage Therapy entered my life many years ago when it was the only treatment that brought me significant relief from a chronic shoulder problem that I thought would never go away. Eventually I decided to become a massage therapist myself which has turned out to be the most rewarding and enjoyable work I’ve done. I graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Therapeutic Massage in 2004 to become a certified and licensed massage therapist. I have also taken additional courses in hot stone therapy, deep tissue massage, fibromyalgia treatment, and Bonnie Prudden’s pain management workshop. I enjoy working with people of all ages and give 100% to each client. I am also a member of AMTA (American Massage Therapy Association).

Just as no two fingerprints are alike, I’ve come to appreciate that each client is just as unique and special. This becomes evident when going over their history, health, goals, and preferences. Feedback and communication are always encouraged. Different techniques are incorporated depending on all of these factors, with close attention to detail. Some of these techniques include myofascial release, trigger point therapy, deep tissue work, and swedish relaxation treatments. Not only are these different techniques incredibly effective, but they feel great too! Prices are not based on which techniques are used but rather how long of a session you book. Prices are as follows:

30 minutes 40.00

60 minutes 70.00

90 minutes 110.00

Heather Erler is an incredibly talented and well trained massage therapist. She interacts with her clients with great sensitivity and professionalism and has created a beautiful healing environment for her work. Under Heather’s patient and skillful care, I have recovered this year from chronic rotator cuff inflammation and general upper back trauma and congestion. Heather’s energy and stamina are amazing, as is her joyful approach to her work and her sincere commitment to the well being of her clients. I feel very blessed to have found Heather through her website—she’s a true gem!

I am an MS patient with drop foot. Heather has for a number of months stretched my ankle and muscles to relieve some of the spasm in the area. She is very detailed and professional with a pleasant manner.
-Frank V.,  Barrington, RI

I've been going to Heather regularly for about a year now and the massages have helped me tremendously in my everyday life. I have less stress, more restful sleep and  fewer migraines compared to before. Heather is always so cheerful and her massaging techniques work great for me. Therapy is now something I look forward to!
-K.H.,  Seekonk, MA

I have severe arthritis which is disabling. Heather has been giving me massage therapy for a while now. Some of the benefits I have from it are better circulation, sores healed and pain reduction. Another thing I appreciate about Heather is she comes to my home for my treatments. She is very respectful and does not make you feel uncomfortable. She is also trustworthy and I feel comfortable having her in my home.

Even though a whole year had passed after dislocating my shoulder, I was still in pain and when I exercised it would only aggravate it. After a few visits with Heather, the pain was gone. I also thought I had arthritis in my thumbs but she has been able to work the pain out of the joints there also. I now go monthly and I feel it has helped improve my health and recovery time from working out.

I am a 52 year old male with 30 years of experience visiting many massage therapists. I have tried male and female therapists, hotel and spa therapists, airport therapists, and others that have advertised or been recommended. Heather Erler is without a doubt the finest therapist I have used. Besides being a great therapist, Heather is friendly, kind, and always focused on me. When my ankle was broken, Heather came to my house, even in terrible weather. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants massage for therapeutic or physical need. She is the best.
-Craig A.,  Cranston, RI

I first came to Heather with very tight muscles and pain in my lower back, and with periodic sessions throughout the year, she has been able to work into the deeper muscles and relieve the pain that used to bother me. My posture is now significantly better because she's loosened up some of the tight muscles that have contributed to my previously poor posture. When I get migraines,  she focuses on my head and neck, and after an hour, without medicine, my migraine disappears. I think it's difficult to find a massage therapist like Heather who knows how to handle each situation when it presents itself.  I feel significantly more healthy since I've started treatment.
