Thursday: 12:00pm-7:00pm

Theresa Ochenkoski is a highly accomplished Massachusetts state licensed and board-certified massage therapist and a certified Usui Reiki Master Practitioner. Theresa began her professional massage therapy journey in 1988, following her graduation from the Connecticut Center for Massage Therapy. Over nearly four decades of practice, she has built an expert, integrative style of bodywork that thoughtfully blends technical clinical skill with intuitive, compassionate healing. [1]
Theresa provides restorative massage therapy, using a comprehensive spectrum of therapeutic modalities designed to support both structural rehabilitation and nervous system recovery. Her physical clinical practice centers heavily on advanced massage therapy, detailed muscular therapy, and fascial release techniques. By integrating these techniques, she guides the body to unwind chronic muscular restrictions, improve mobility, and interrupt chronic tension patterns.
Theresa integrates specialized foot reflexology and balancing Reiki energy work into her sessions. She incorporates reflexology for integrating a deeper sense of full-body work for targeting areas of stress, alongside Reiki to soothe the energetic body and facilitate a comfortable parasympathetic recovery state. Grounded in her personal history of pain due to misaligned structural patterning, Theresa listens openly to both you and your body, and she is respectful of your comfort level and tailors sessions safely and compassionately.
Beyond her private practice, Theresa has worked as an oncology massage therapist at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s Leonard P. Zakim Center for Integrative Therapies and Healthy Living since 2006, where she leverages gentle restorative modalities to improve quality of life and provide a nurturing environment for patients navigating the complexities of cancer and cancer treatment. Today, she balances her clinical work at Dana-Farber with seeing clients at the Whole Person Health Integrative Wellness Practice in Stoughton, MA. [2, 3]
“Theresa is confident, gentle, and very attuned and sensitive to the person she’s working with. She’s very intuitive to their needs.”

“Wow! My regular massage therapist had no appointments open, so I was lucky enough to give Theresa a try. I had an excellent massage on a day when my neck was killing me. Theresa was excellent. I walked out feeling so much better. She has a very healing touch. It was all in all a very positive, professional experience. Highly recommended!”

I also have had massage treatments with Teresa: she certainly knows how to reduce my pain and make me feel at ease with each visit. She is great at reducing muscle tension and doing myofascial release. I highly recommend Whole Person Health to everyone who is seeking to reduce pain, reduce stress, and/or improve their overall health.
