Internally Happy

BEST MASSAGE I EVER HAD!
Seriously, you will not meet a more attentive, experienced, and considerate masseuse than Pamela. She knows her stuff. Your body will feel rejuvenated and tranquil after one of her massages.
Her knowledge of both Western & Eastern medicine makes her a go-​to person for muscle pain to nutrition to reflexology to digestion to allergies. I’ve never had a question about health she didn’t know the answer to or researched thoroughly to find the answer before my next appointment.
What makes Pamela truly wonderful is her ability to listen and spend time working with you, unlike physicians or other massage therapists. She really wants you to feel your best.

Pamela was great. She was very professional yet made me feel very comfortable in my skin. I had the Swedish massage, and she was very kind and asked me if I had any particular areas that I would like her to work on. She customized the massage just for me, and afterwards I felt AMAZING. The atmosphere was great, the aromas were fantastic, and I had my own private room. A really exquisite experience. I learned later after chatting that Pamela is very knowledgeable in many different areas, some that I haven’t even heard of before! I am always weary of these hole-​in-​the wall, quick-​in, quick-​out places that seem to be everywhere. In my experience, they have claimed to be able to provide specialized service when they aren’t really doing that at all. Not to even mention there may be one person with a license in the place and the person actually working on you probably isn’t even licensed! And don’t get me started on how unsanitary they are… No thank you. With Pamela, I know I am getting the real deal, and you can FEEL it. She is very advanced, specializing in many different areas of treatment. I will have to come back and check out her other techniques!

I had my first massage with Pamela last week and wow, I’m impressed. Like other reviewers I’ve had massages all over the world and definitely consider hers one of the best ever. She takes her time understanding my health issues and finds ways to work with them that are super-​effective and long-​lasting. Highly recommended.

I wish there was 6 stars. Pamela’s massages are one of the top 3 things in NYC for me and my partner. If we could go weekly we would. Pamela knows her trade and is extremely passionate about massage and well being. I have been to so many spas around the world, so many massages, and no one compares to Pam. Each time I walk out I can’t believe how much better I feel. Her studio is very private and I much prefer it to a full spa, it’s very quiet and relaxing and it’s always nice to take a walk around Soho after or before. I could write more and more and more, but I’ll just leave it as a solid 5 star perfect review. Pam rules!

My nickname for Pamela is «Magic Hands Pam».
I booked a massage with her based on desperation (and location) a couple of years ago, and I have seen her dozens of time since then. I’d skip meals to afford to keep seeing her.
Whether it’s day-​to-​day aches and pains, or my long term health issues flaring up, Pamela always knows what to do to help me feel better. Someone else on here called her a healer, and they are not kidding. Massage got me in the door, but I love all of the treatments, and I’ve sent both friends and family to her. It doesn’t get any better than her!

I booked a Swedish massage with Pamela thru spafinder (my first time) and so happy I did. My options were an overpriced spa or cheap nail/​massage joint and then I saw Pamela’s listing and knew that this is what I deserved — a licensed therapist who cared about individual clients. I was not disappointed. We talked in advance and she paid attention to what I needed. I also LOVED the space she uses, very peaceful and even quiet!

I booked an appointment here through Lifebooker in September, and will definitely be going back. Pamela was professional (texting me the day before with detailed directions) and tailored my massage to my specific needs, helping me relieve stress while targeting my muscle knots. I was so relaxed that I almost fell asleep! Really recommend going here for a Swedish massage.

Pamela has saved me, over and over and over again.
She worked with me following a car accident and was able to completely erase my pain and improve my range of motion.
I relied on frequent prenatal massage with Pamela when I was pregnant, and she went above and beyond just making me feel good physically. She also was able to help me so much mentally. I would lie on her table and she would work tirelessly to encourage my body and mind to relax, heal and ready for labor.
Her bodywork is just incredibly intuitive and comprehensive. If you’re looking to just relax, she does that with a gentle, kind touch.
The space Pamela works from is part of an office. It’s small but perfectly organized and incredibly beautiful. Just entering the room is calming!

I’ve had a lot of massage and i can truly say Pamela at Internally Happy has magic hands! She’s a great listener to both you and your body and will pay close attention to your areas of greatest need. Her studio is pleasant, calming and immaculate, putting you at immediate ease. She is an independent proprietor so you can feel extra good supporting a small business! Please see Pamela for your next massage-​you won’t be disappointed. In fact, you’ll feel great!

Pamela is not an ordinary masseuse, she is truly healer (and at times I think she has some kind of super power that allows her to magically identify any bodily aches and pains without you even mentioning!).
Since going to her for the first time via a lifebooker deal I have been addicted and try to go once a month (yes it is $$ but you really do get what you pay for). Since going regularly my back pains are almost non existant. The initial massage I booked simply for a «relaxing massage», I never suspected I would get such phenomenal health benefits from any massage.
For all those masseuse connoisseurs, time to up the ante and experience a session with Pamela.

I came here because of the name, philosophy behind it and high reviews (albeit few). Disappointed. I booked a 90 minute deep tissue in hopes of being healed/​having knots eroded – or at least how i’d expect to feel after a $ 160 massage. Felt like a waste of $ 200 and that I should’ve gone to Great Jones Spa for the $ and experience.
[this review only regards the massage. i dont know about other services. the premises were beautiful: jade sink, relaxing, high ceilings, doorman bldg (though he was negligent at his post).]

I saw Pamela today for the first time and I couldn’t be happier with my spur-​of-​the-​moment decision to book an appointment earlier this week. Not only did she really take the time to talk to me and figure out my problem areas, she sincerely tried to work out each and every knot — not a small feat, I assure you! I’ll definitely be seeing her again.
Of course, the water, snack and mints at the end of the massage were a lovely touch!
The only «con» was that the room was a bit chilly — but Pamela more than made up for it with extra blankets. Plus, I think today was one of the coldest October days on record or something, I can’t really blame her too much!

Pamela is a healer.
That’s not a word I throw around. I’m skeptical of most things in life. I find alternative medicine to be, for the most part, a big pile of «woo.» I’m not spiritual, and scoff at religion. I think that if supplements were proved to work, general practitioners would prescribe them. I don’t fall for water having memory, or good vibes being enough to cure cancer.
When I say that Pamela is a healer, I mean that she actively, truly wants her clients to be well. Healthy. Happy. So don’t be shocked if, when you leave her lovely, understated oasis on 6^th Ave., you’ll be pain-​lessened — if not pain-​free.
I found Internally Happy on Lifebooker, and this is sincerely the first time in my usage of any of those Groupon-​esque services where I feel confident I’ll be a return customer. Without a doubt, this was the best massage I’ve ever had.
Was it relaxing? Absolutely, but not in the fall-​asleep-​and-​be-​charged-​for-​a-​nap-​with-​moderate-​tickling sort of way that seems to be very popular. Pamela, upon reading (! actually reading! who does that?) my new client questionnaire, followed up on some of the key areas I had mentioned, and spent a great deal of time working on those deeply entrenched knots. It hurt. And it was supposed to. She coached me to breathe deep as she kept the pressure on, and I actually felt the knot loosening and travel down my body.
Despite devoting a significant amount of time and pressure to my knotted-​up shoulder blade, no other areas were neglected. From toes to forehead to fingers to thighs, Pamela kneaded every muscle with the strength and care that a true professional shows.
This isn’t a going-​through-​the-​motions massage. This is a blissful piece of workmanship by someone who obviously loves her job and loves bettering the lives and moods of her clients. From turning off the heat on the massage bed before I, sweatily, climbed on, to placing a cool glass of water by your belongings for the finishing touch, every tiny detail was sublimely handled.
You owe it to yourself to go see her.

really relaxing environment and perfect massage. Pamela was great and super nice too!
