Great service!

Chareen provides a great service for me and is able to identify and really get into my problem areas.Mike Lancaster Apr 2, 2019

Amazing

My workstation at my job is not ergonomically correct, so whenever I visit Chareen my neck, back and shoulders are a mess. We joke when I arrive, I tell her to get the chisel and jackhammer ready. lol. I leave feeling amazing every time. I highly recommend her to my family and friends. Thanks Chareen!T.A. Mar 27, 2019

Amazing as Always

Chareen is the only massage therapist I will I will go to for help. Regardless of whether my issue is chronic or acute, she always listens and knows how to alleviate my discomfort/pain. I cannot recommend her highly enough.Angie B Mar 15, 2019

First visit to Barefoot Massage Therapy

I’ve had my first massage in Halifax at Barefoot Massage. I found it to be a comfortable setting, and it was a great massage, done with care! I will definitely go bacK again.Gita Mar 2, 2019

Top notch service 😉

After the massage, yesterday, my back and shoulders definitely feel like they worked well in a good way! The knots are not noticeable any more!Emily Churchill Feb 8, 2019

Great Experience!

I had my first session with Barefoot Massage this week. I typically do not enjoy massage but working with Chareen was amazing- she listened, asked lots of questions and worked through different imbalances in my body. I immediately felt at ease with her and very comfortable. I had been referred to Chareen by a pelvic floor physiotherapist to compliment the work we are doing post-hysterectomy. I highly recommend Barefoot Massge.Manning L Feb 2, 2019

Massage

Even though I think my body is an unsolved mystery she does an amazing job treating my ailments. :). I would recommend her to anyone.Janice B Jan 18, 2019

Just what I need!

I am so grateful I found this little slice of heaven! Chareen is one of he best massage therapists I’ve been to and always addresses my issues. She makes me feel so comfortable and remembers what my past muscle issues were and what is going on in my life that affects them – aka soccer and desk work. Would highly recommend!Janice J Jan 17, 2019

Barefoot Massage Therapy

Excellent, courteous, professional, Charleen is a wonderful therapist. I see her for chronic back and leg pain and, though I complain throughout our session, she never fails to diminish, if not completely cease, the pain. And the cessation lasts many days. I recommend her gladly.V.R. Dec 19, 2018

Like no other massage I’ve ever had!

I am originally from Fredericton NB and I thought I would never find a massage therapist as good as my one back home and I was most certainly wrong! I found one not only as good, but even better! Chareen has given me the best massages I have ever had! She works out all the pain in my back, ribs and leg! I honestly don’t know what I would do without her! And she is also very friendly and professional and a fellow animal lover!! All around the best service and the best massage that you can get!Sydney S Aug 31, 2018

Thank you, Chareen!Vanessa L Aug 16, 2018

I’m just getting better!

This was my second massage therapy session and I can feel my neck and shoulder knots and stress issues beginning to fade. I am sleeping easier. Once I am back to feeling more like myself, I will go to Barefoot once a month for maintenance. I cannot recommend Chareen Simpson more highly! She absolutely knows her business and is excellent at it!Carole Henricks Aug 8, 2018

Full body 90 minute massage

I often go to Chareen for help with stress in my neck and shoulders or my lower back. This time my sciatica was starting to come back and I had swelling in my lower legs.

Excellent service

Fantastic

I’ve been to see a fair amount of massage therapists before I met Chareen but I’ve never had better. I met Chareen at my worst and she tried different techniques to suit what would work best for me. She has been nothing but amazing in the years of treatment that I’ve seen her for.J.M. Jul 27, 2017

Barefoot Massage Therapy

Unparalleled expertise at any level of pressure and specialized therapy. Highly recommend Charene Simpson.Rob R Jul 27, 2017

Best massage I’ve ever had

Chareen is great at addressing any specific aches and pains/injuries while providing a relaxing massage. I find that many massage therapists don’t provide a deep enough massage to truly work out knots in muscles, but Chareen has just the right touch. She is able to be as tough or gentle as needed.Nicole Slaunwhite Jul 6, 2017

A wonderful therapist!

I highly recommend Chareen for a treatment tailored to your specific needs. She is incredibly in tune to her clients and is a truly gifted therapist.Joanna H May 18, 2017

Always a great experience!

Chareen finds the perfect balance between providing a relaxing massage while still working on the problem areas. She is both kind and professional, helping me to leave my massage feeling relaxed and rejuvenated every time.E.M. Apr 16, 2017

Perfect balance between therapy and relaxation.

If you are looking for a massage for both mind and body Barefoot is the spot. I am training for a marathon and needed sore and tight spots to be tackled firmly and relentlessly. Barefoot massage has become an essential part of my training program.Dan McDougall Apr 8, 2017

Amazing experience

Chareen came highly recommend so I was expecting a good massage. After an hour, I was more relaxed than I’ve ever been. At the same time, the problem areas that I went in for were looked after in a very effective way. In past experiences, I’ve either had a relaxing massage or one that worked out aches; Chareen took care of both. Troy M Mar 8, 2017

Chareen is by far the best massage therapist in HRM! I would not recommend anyone else!! She is highly trained, has a proven track record, and her clients are loyal. The best!!A.B. Aug 31, 2016

Excellent massage for athletes

I run long distance races and often wait too long between appointments so my calves and glutes are a wreck when I arrive but Chareen releases my tight muscles better than anyone. I know I need the deep work done and at first I was surprised she was able to do it because she’s just little! Without her I wouldn’t get to the start line. I highly, highly, highly recommend Chareen, especially for athletes who really need the rough stuff!M.L. Jul 13, 2016

Chareen is Awesome!!!

Professional, talented and effective – Chareen is one of the best massage therapists I have booked appointments with. She is flexible with bookings (ie. weekends, evenings and last minute appointments) and is genuinely interested in knowing how you are doing (emotionally and physically). Many times she has gone out of her way to accommodate me with an appointment if I was in pain and needed immediate attention. Chareen is awesome!Christine Apr 28, 2016

Chareen is awesome

Chareen is very firm and really gets into the knots. Her new space is nice and warm. She also allows me to bring my dog Kona with me to appointments!Chris Payne Nov 14, 2015

Love Barefoot Massage

Chareen offers fantastic massage and acupuncture services. What I love most is that she can often fit me in at the last minute – which with my schedule is important to me.

Great therapuetic massage and acupunture

I have been seeing Chareen for routine massage over the past few year and they have always been fantastic. I recently injured my foot and the doctors were unsure what was gong on, it was broken but “soft tissue” damage. A massage and acupuncture has made it feel significantly better and much easier to walk on.Jarratt C Sep 18, 2015

My massage opinion

I have had a Chareen Simpson massage every week for many years. I think that senior people like me should have the muscles in their bodies awakened by this wonderful experience. Doctors should recommend it.joan waldron Sep 17, 2015

A key part of my self-care regime

Chareen is a highly skilled therapist who always brings my body back into balance. Highly recommended!Laurel S Sep 10, 2015

Wonderful

I have been coming here for sometime now and its wonderful. Great deep massage with expert care. I highly recommend!Carlos Worthington Aug 10, 2015

Massage Should Be Recommended by Doctors

I am over 80 and have the usual arthritis for my age plus I have neuropathy , a condition that many people have for several reasons. After Chareen gives me a fabulous massage my bod starts behaving years younger. I really think Doctors should prescribe massage. It sure beats Gabapentin!!joan w Aug 9, 2015
