Cass found a calling in bodywork after, like many others, experienced injury and needed calm. As a cyclist, recovery is paramount to continued growth and performance; but, outside of sports, our bodies and minds need attention to feel and do their best. Cass finds massage to be a meditative experience, and hopes to instill the same feeling in their clients. Currently a student at The Massage School in Boston, Cass is excited to continue learning just how much can be accomplished through touch, and believes there’s no alternative to human hands. They are particularly interested in sports, deep tissue and mobility work.

In their spare time, Cass is a visual artist, glued to a book, or getting ready for the next gravel event or cyclocross season.

I believe that your body is designed to feel AMAZING.

Hi! My name is Bethany, and I’m a Californian native living in Boston. From a young age, I was a competitive athlete and fell in love with movement. Now as a Certified Personal Trainer, Fascial Stretch Therapist, Nutritionist, and Mat Pilates Instructor, I’ve had the opportunity to work with clients ranging from professional athletes to fitness newbies.

Through the years, I’ve had my fair share of sports related injuries including multiple joint dislocations, hip labral tears, and a severely broken wrist. I understand how difficult and painful the recovery process can be! Because of my experiences, I’ve been able to successfully partner with clients dealing with pain or traumatic injuries to work around the limitations and still achieve their goals.

My desire is to empower my clients to look and feel their best in a way that is safe, sustainable, effective, and fun! If you’re interested in working with me or have any questions, please reach out here, I’d love to hear from you. -Bethany Endter

Tom Church: After more than 20 years as a massage therapist, Tom is still growing in his skills and knowledge. Much of his career has been focused on athletes of all levels from the beginner to the Olympian. The techniques he has learned through his extensive work with athletes provide skills and resources that are part of the toolbox he opens at the beginning of the session and are used as the need arrives.

Tom has always grounded his sessions in understanding the context of what brings you in for treatments; knowing that we don’t actually heal your aches, pains, and injuries, but help you to heal; and continuing to stay up to date on sports science and therapy knowledge.

As a sports massage therapist, Tom is a team member of the NSAF Sports Medicine Team, has worked many events including the USATF Indoor Track & Field Championships with the medical team, Boston Marathon, the Blackburn Challenge (rowing and paddling), the team therapist for Harvard Swimming and Diving, Harvard Squash, Harvard Softball, Harvard Water Polo, and Boston College Track & Field and Cross Country. He worked for many with Ivy League teams at the Ivy League Swimming and Diving Championships and the lead therapist for the New England Masters Swimming Championships.

Tom is also a running coach focusing on endurance athletes running track, roads and trails. Is a Performance Therapist for those that want to bring their therapist to their training sessions. And does form analysis and mobility assessments outside of the treatment room.

Tom has a background in running having started as a 10 year old with track and the roads, moving to cross country in college, then adding the trails after college. He is now mostly retired with dreams of finding time in his schedule to train seriously again. Maybe in retirement.

When Tom isn’t helping you be the best you can be, he can be found learning, reading, spending time with his wife, dog and cat, on the trails, and enjoying a new beer and a nice meal.

Gerald Samson: I am a dedicated part-time yoga teacher and experienced massage therapist. I taught full time for five years at Coolidge Yoga before deciding to put my full effort into massage therapy and treating sports injuries. I developed my massage practice at coolidge and out of my home in Boston. I graduated from Hobart and William Smith Colleges in 2011 with a B.A in both in Psychology and Philosophy, and rowed as a student athlete.

I found the practice of yoga after graduating college and it happened to be beneficial for reducing my work stress and the tightness my body had developed from rowing. Wanting to share yoga’s benefits I enrolled in a 200-hour teacher-training program with Ame Wren and the Boston Yoga School in 2014. Through yoga I began to see the body as a puzzle to unravel, which led to a strong interest in bodywork. This led to my enrolled at The Massage School in Boston in 2015.

With the influence of yoga in my bodywork, I work deep into the structure of the body, both to adjust structure and treat injuries that restrict mobility. In school I became skilled in a number of techniques like deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, myofascial release and some elements of eastern bodywork (Shiatsu, Thai massage) and blend all of them into my work. I graduated from The Massage School in February of 2017 with over 200 hours of clinical practice, and have been working as a LMT since graduation.
