Five Stars! Tye was great! I put down that it is a little tricky to find the location, but when I called for directions, she stayed on the line with me until she could see my car out the window. Since it was my first time getting a deep tissue massage, Tye carefully explained what to expect beforehand, and reassured me that the process is about ME, and the most important thing is my comfort. The space was... Read More On CitysearchKatey Schwind 2/21/2010
Absolutely the best Hands Down! I have been waiting for a chance to write this review. My wife and I visited sankofa in Jan 2010. It was a gift to ourselves to start the new year of right, and boy did we! Tye was to comforting, warm, and pleasant. It is small location so there was personal attention paid to us with no distractions. Immediately upon entry I felt at ease, it was warm and cozy plus the scents were not over poweri...

Fantastic I got a 1 hour deep tissue massage... my first visit to Sankofa. This is a place I will definitely return! I am partial to deep tissue over relaxation massage - so this review will be for those like me out there:
Tye has great strength and pressure, which is something I look for, of course she asked if it was the right amount as she moved to a different body part. I like my massage to be some... Read More On Citysearchamyd11 12/15/2009
Great Massage! I've never felt comfortable getting a massage so when I got a gift certificate for Christmas (last year!) I kept putting off using it. All I can say now is Why Did I Wait!
Tye made me feel welcomed and relaxed right away. The massage was only for 1/2 hr. I'm looking forward to my next appointment and 1 hour massage! Read More On Citysearch87GEMINI 12/8/2009
Absolutely Fabulous I am a frequent massage client at a competitive spa, but wanted to give Sankofa a try after a friend recommended it. The deep tissue massage and reflexology treatment I received at Sankofa was one of the best!! Several years ago I injured my hands boxing; the treatment I received at Sankofa is the first ever to make my hands feel great for an extended period of time. Sankofa is absolutely fabu...

great massage This was my first massage and a great experience. I wasn't sure what to expect, but Tye let me know up front exactly what to expect. Her storefront studio is well decorated - a great place to relax. She communicated throughout (minimally) just to make sure I was ok.
I would recommend Sankofa to anyone without reservation - though you do NEED a reservation before showing up.

Fantastic Massage! I was very comfortable talking with and getting a massage from Tye. In talking with her before the massage began, I was able to describe to her what I was looking for--and she got it exactly right. During the massage I was able to relax and completely zone out and found it easy to tell her if it was too much or too little. I will be back! Read More On CitysearchACibene 11/3/2009
Professional and Sincere Sankofa Massage is one of only a few places that I have truly fell enjoyed receiving a massage from. Tye (Owner/Massage Therapist/All Around Sweet Person) is respect and sensitive to not just my stated needs for the appointment but often reads my body well to work out areas of stress and knotting that I did not know existed. Every time I go, I learn new things about my body and how the muscles,... Read More On Citysearchleaton01 10/15/2009
Looking for an amazing massage? If you are looking for the perfect massage look no further than 44 Ocean St. in Lynn at Sankofa. Owner and masseuse, Tye, was completely in tune with my body's needs. Although she had never done work on me before it was if she knew exactly where my trouble spots were and applied the perfect amount of pressure during the entire session. The space is super clean and elegant (not to mention relax... Read More On Citysearchcomfyone 9/1/2009
great massage From the moment you walk into Sankofa Tye makes you feel totally comfortable. Her massage was great-Ive been to many therapists and the comfort level far exceeds most. Read More On Citysearchsammyjet 6/16/2009
She's got the magic touch I love massages, but hate going to someone new. I found Tye by searching for someone near my home. What a great result! Tye is attentive, hears what you are saying, and has a beautifully calming demeanor. She not only asked what I was looking for, but really heard what I said, and tailored the massage to my needs. She is both personable and professional. I will be going to my second appoin... Read More On CitysearchWandasworld 6/1/2009
Awesome Massage What prompted my initial call to Tye was winning a free half-hour massage. My husband had told me for years that I should try massage therapy for my back and upper shoulders, but, of course, I always procrastinated because it always seemed a little outside of my comfort level to be lying on a couch while someone was kneading by muscles. However, I happened to tell him about winning, and he never... Read More On Citysearchlionladyd 5/18/2009

Holistic Approach, Superb Service, Gift for Healing I starting going to Sankofa due to pain in my neck and between my shoulder blades due to a highly stressful work environment. Now that I'm in a different environment, I love to make an appointment at Sankofa as part of a virtual spa day I create for myself. I fast beforehand and after leaving I drink water, eat fresh fruits and put aside time to pray and meditate.
I cannot say enough won... Read More On CitysearchJamPlain007 1/5/2009
Magic Hands...Well Worth it! I've known Tye for many years even as she was in massage school. I've received massages from Tye while she was a massage student and also a licensed professional and all of my sessions have always been great. Before starting a massage, she consults with you to better understand what your ailments are and will make suggestions as she seems fit. She wants to ensure that she gives all of her clients...

A wonderful experience I have only good things to say about Sankofa Massage. Tye is wonderful and she specializes her massages to your specific needs. I love the reflexology on my feet and I don't like my feet to be touched! It is a nice quiet environment so it is very easy to relax and just drift off into complete relaxation. She gives a discount on multiple massages which you don't see at other massage studios. ... Read More On Citysearchmylabchloe 12/1/2008
Far exceeded my expectations! It's not often that I walk away from anything raving to everyone I know. From the moment I sat down with Tye I felt relaxed. Her calming demeanor and warm personality were a prelude to the massage that followed. I appreciated her checking in regarding the pressure, since my left side is normally filled with tension, and her follow-up after the massage was nice. I felt like a million bucks when...

Best Massage Therapist EVER !! Her techniques and style are more than therapeutic ! I have tried many therapists over the years. Because of Tye's therapy I don't have to bother my son, Dr. Scott (Chiropractor) with "Please fix my neck; please fix my back...? all the time. Type's therapy has enabled me to keep my body well-maintained and pain free. I enjoy the deep tissue work and I am planning on trying some of Tye's other techniques.

Kindest hands in the North Shore I've had messages at other places and nothing compared to Tye... She makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. She has magical hands. Not only do you leave there knot free, but you leave there happier and more at peace then you came in. I recommend Sankofa to everyone. Read More On Citysearchjackie9706 11/25/2008
Transformational, healing, restorative massages! HI, So I love massage, I get them when ever I can afford them and even when I can,t. I am 40 years old and workout regularly: take spin 3 times a week, lift 3 times a week, attend yoga classes and white water raft. Needless to say my body hurts at the end of the day and massages are just the thing to help my body recover from the stress I put it through. Tye at Sankofa Massage and Bodywork is...
