META Bodywork

The studio is super cozy and aesthetically pleasing. I loved it from the moment I stepped in. The atmosphere is very relaxing.I greatly appreciate the form they send you before your visit, where they ask how you want to communicate. You can opt for the most relaxing option with almost no talking or a more chatty version. For me, its great to have such a choice.Also, the specialists working there are highly professional. I have visited different therapists (randomly assigned) and was impressed. I believe the studio has high standards for employees.

10/10 recommend! Every single massage I’ve had at Meta has been just what I needed - from the peaceful environment of the new space to the expertise of the massage therapists, all of whom are so kind & lovely (Rose is an absolute healer!). Not to mention, Meta’s Friday morning outdoor meditation series is just what my soul needs (views of the Hudson/NYC skyline paired with the gift of introspection). I even treated my mom to a massage for Mother’s Day & the Meta crew gave her such a treat. Run, don’t walk for some body(& soul)work at Meta! You won’t regret it!

Mybess is absolutely amazing and a talented therapist I have ever met. I’ve been working with her for three months, and every session has been incredible. Her massages strike the perfect balance of pressure to relieve tension without causing any pain and brought me incredible relaxation. Her attentive, kind, and relaxing demeanor creates a wonderfully soothing atmosphere. Highly recommend booking with her!

This independently-owned bodywork service blows the chain establishments out of the water. Ive seen Jasmine three times now, and Im so impressed with every member of the staffs professionalism, communication, and kindness. The environment is incredibly soothing, and Ive come to see my visits here as medicine. So grateful to have found this wonderful community!

Beautiful spa in the downtown JC❤️. Loved the facility…so clean and so quiet. My massage was perfection. Jayne connected with what my body needed and I felt customized my treatment to relieve my aches and pains. I feel happy, lose and peaceful. Thank you!

Having the monthly membership is one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. Every therapist I’ve seen has been amazing and I always feel more relaxed and centered after the massage. Can’t recommend them enough!

Ive been going to Meta Bodywork since 2020 and have always had a truly delightful experience. Ive gone to varying team members and have always had wonderful treatment no matter the masseuse. Their new space on Montgomery Street is absolutely dreamy and Im so grateful they have more beds for booking now :) 10/10 recommend!

One of the nicest, most relaxing studios near the city (just 1-2 stops away!) I am a member and look forward to coming every month! Its vital for de-stressing and the massages here are great.

Wonderful! Jasmine is amazing, very communicative and caring. The space is beautiful and very relaxing. Online booking is easy. Very happy to have found this place!

Ambience was fantastic, the greetings were warming. My massage therapist Rosie was GREAT! I have received massages in 25 states had over 50 massage therapist work on me and she is top notch. She worked deeply and deliberately to help ease the pain I was feeling that other therapists missed. I’m looking forward to more bodywork with Rosie.I highly recommend Meta body works when you are in jersey city.

Editing this to give extra stars to their new space - finally made it there for a much needed massage and its absolutely stunning! Still the same peaceful vibes and amazing therapists in a lovely bigger space...Ive been to META a few times now and every time its been a wonderful experience. The setting is peaceful and the therapists are all so incredibly knowledgeable. I always leave feeling relaxed and better than when I arrived. I highly highly recommend!

I had a wonderful and relaxing experience here. The massage was great, and Jasmine was polite and highly skilled. I’ll request her the next time!

I recommend Angie with all my heart (and every nerve ending). She’s a genius —super intuitive and a great communicator and just perfect.

Went in for a prenatal massage and it helped me relax thoroughly. The eye mask they provided was perfectly scented and chilled.

June 2024Ive been seeing Rose for nearly 2 years. The reiki sessions are amazing. We talk about what she experienced while doing the reiki, and what I experienced receiving it. I learn a lot, and it gives me great insights. Therapist approved, by the way! The effects last well past the date of the session, and I feel much steadier. Shes kind and empathetic, as well as quite knowledgeable about psychology. Between her academic knowledge and energy therapy were able to do really interesting, targeted work. Im pretty complicated, and she makes me feel safe to explore my inner world while shes working. And since I get a massage first, its true self care for the body and mind.June 2023 Rose is amazing! Great therapeutic massage (I have multiple health issues) and the reiki session she did for me really helped me unblock a bad episode. Highly recommend!

Mybess was great! She focused on my problem areas and customized it according to what I needed. Highly recommend!

Only good things to say! Such a beautiful, sunny, calming, meticulously clean studio located in the Barrow Mansion, which is such a special place. Very easy to schedule appointments online. Ive had excellent deep tissues massages with Rose and Mark, who listen to my needs. I have spinal fusion and hardware in my spine, so I really appreciate message therapists who are mindful of these issues. META is my go-to for massages and healing in Jersey City.

Matt is not just a massage therapist; they are a true healer. His expertise and skill in various massage techniques were immediately evident. He always takes time to listen to my concerns and tailor the session to address my specific needs.Throughout the massage, I was transported to a state of pure relaxation. The pressure was perfect, and every stroke was executed with precision and care. It was evident that he possesses a deep understanding of the human body and how to alleviate tension and stress.What sets Matt apart is their intuitive touch and ability to create a holistic experience.I always leave feeling rejuvenated, refreshed, and completely relaxed. It was not just a massage; it was a transformative journey of healing and self-care.I highly recommend Matt to anyone in search of an outstanding massage therapist. Their talent, professionalism, and dedication to their craft are truly commendable. I can’t wait to book my next session and continue benefiting from their incredible skills.

Not sure why this place has such a high rating. My masseuse was a lovely person, but I was freezing cold the whole time so could not relax. I wasn’t offered another blanket or heat and finally asked for it half way through. I wasn’t offered water after and my clothes were left on the other side of the room to go get after freezing for an hour.I was forced to book a more expensive “prenatal” massage because I’m newly pregnant and wasn’t allowed to take advantage of the first appointment rate even though I booked a regular massage. I thought I’d see why it was more expensive and found out the only difference is you’re not allowed to have a warm bed. $20 extra to shiver the whole time. Expensive place, bad policies with not an especially good service.

Booked full body massage for my wife and if she says she was satisfied that means the service was really good 😄

IVANA G is the best !!!!!!!! Highly recommend! She is so knowledgeable and really attentive to your specific desires for massage! Best best experience !

I’ve been going to Jasmine for years and her massages are incredible.

I have been a massage therapist for 21 years so Im obviously very picky about where I go for my massages. I have gone to Meta Bodyworks several times and have never been disappointed. The space is beautiful, very soothing and the therapists are professional and well trained. I will continue to go there and can not recommend them highly enough. Laura Lacey

Meta’s prenatal massages have been A MUST during my pregnancy! They have the cushions with the hole for my belly and the table is so comfortable. I’ve been carrying so much water weight and have awful sciatic pain and I always feel tremendous relief when I leave. And the studio is so calming!

Best Massage Ever! Came to Meghan for a prenatal massage and it was amazing. Im very particular about my massages and often find them not firm enough but Meghan was wonderful! Found all the tight spots in my back and worked to release them. Its hard to be comfortable at 24 weeks pregnant but she made me very comfortable. I highly recommend her and will be back!

Meghan gives easily the best massages Ive ever received. Her work feels more deliberate and focused when compared to other massages therapists. Shes very knowledgeable, and I leave every appointment both having learned more about my body and armed with practical action items to help improve it. She also has a wonderful bedside manner to boot. I cant recommend her highly enough!

I came in for my first prenatal massage with Latasha and will definitely be coming back. I was able to lay on my stomach with this cool pillow that had a hole in it for belly. I loved the massage and so did the baby, I had never felt her move so much before this massage! Latasha is a great massage therapist!!

My favorite massage place - Jasmine is the best! Very excited for their new location!

I recently had abdominal surgery and was in need of a lymphatic drainage massage. Meghan (the owner) took the time to call and run thru a series of questions to ensure I was in good hands. Upon arrival, I was in zen. The room is inviting, calm and peaceful. The space is a sanctuary of positive energy , once you get up the staircase! I was greeted my Latasha who was my massage. She has openly shared she was a therapist for 15years and is currently learning lymphatic drainage massages. I was a bit nervous, as I was two days out of surgery. She put me at ease, took her time, and ended up feeling incredible after it was done. I would highly recommend MetaBody if you’re looking for a mini reprieve from your day in Jersey City.

Words cannot describe how incredible my first session with Meghan was. We sat together for about 15 mins prior to the massage for an in-depth consultation, where we discussed my concerns, pain points, and goals for the session. Meghan made me feel so comfortable and seen.This was the best massage experience in my life! I would recommend her to ANYONE. Meghan is so knowledgable and its evident how much care and effort she puts into each of her clients experiences. The massage session was incredible, relaxing (I even dozed off a few times!), and overall rejuvenating.I will definitely be back. Looking forward to continuing my sessions with Meghan!

I dont normally write reviews, but I moved to Jersey several years ago and hadnt found someone who does a neuromuscular massage in a way that helps heal and maintain the mobility in my knee. Today on a whim, I really needed work done on my knee and Meghan had availability to fit me in. She was professional and personable, always communicating and asking me about my comfort level during the massage. I prefer deep massages that work on the lactic acid buildup and she exceeded all my expectations! I highly recommend Meghan and will be seeing her again on a regular basis!

Meghan is the best masseuse I have ever been treated by.She goes well beyond simply giving a massage and takes the time to discuss how our bodies function and actions I can take day-to-day to improve my function.I leave feeling refreshed and relaxed with much less pain.Her studio is cozy and she frequently hosts sound baths that are soothing and special.And beyond all that, she is just such a lovely and cool person!

Wow, Megans massage was amazing! She does a thorough and communicative intake. She seems to have great understanding of physiology and anatomy, and therefore my body was treated as an individual and my massage was tailor-made for me. I was very comfortable, and her demeanor is that of a true professional. The massage was relaxing, but also seemed productive in healing my specific body woes.

Ive been a repeat customer here and love the space! Ive worked with Carleigh , her trigger point work is exactly what you need if you have stuck tense muscles. When I worked with Meghan I may have over emphasized on body pain and she was very gentle with me, maybe a bit too gentle. Best to let the body guide their hands rather than trying to verbalize what you think you might need too much.

I got a massage from Meghan and really enjoyed it. She responded to where my body needed the most work and helped with the tension. She also helped stretch my body which I’ve never had done before by a massage therapist and told me why I may be having certain issues with knots and tightness. Would definitely see her again and recommend her to others.

So happy to have finally found a great place for a massage in JC! I had my first experience with Rose today and it was exactly what I was looking for. The space was clean and relaxing. I will definitely be returning!

Been going here for regular massages for a few months now. The location is calming and the staff is super nice and very personable, they remember you and ask you questions about what you need, and are extremely talented with their hands. I always feel refreshed and renewed after I leave. Would love to try a sound bath and cupping next!

They book out in advance but it was definitely worth the worth the wait. I realized working with Meghan I had never had a ‘real’ massage. She is helping with postural issues I’ve have forever and have already felt relief in one session. Hidden gem in Jersey City. Highly recommend.

Ive been receiving bodywork 2-4 times a month from Meghan for almost a year now and it has truly been lifechanging. I initially came to treat neck and shoulder pain brought on by working from home, but have had such an incredible experience that I now consider this a routine part of self care. Meghan is extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, and attuned to whats going on in your body. Ive been getting bodywork consistently for about 20 years and she is one of the best practitioners Ive ever worked with. This is the single best thing Ive done for my physical and mental wellbeing in years. Cannot recommend enough!

I walk and run with my dog for 7 miles a day and I got a massage from Meghan today and I have to say it was great. Her knowledge of anatomy and body movement/habits is really something special that I have never experienced with another massage therapist. Not to mention she made me feel super comfortable and safe about getting a massage now that things are reopening from COVID. Highly highly recommend!

Found this gem last year and have been going monthly for a message with Meghan. Absolutely the best massage ever and really beautiful space. They also host really lovely sound baths and full/new moon ceremonies. Couldn’t recommend more!!

Had a massage with Latasha today and she was fantastic. She incorporated stretching along with my massage which was wonderful. It’s clear she knows and cares about her clients, definitely will be coming back soon

I love this place! I went in for a prenatal massage and was blown away by the prenatal care I received. This is my second pregnancy and Ive had terrible back pain and the massage really helped. Also, being able to comfortably lay face down at almost 9 months pregnant is a miracle... the first time Ive been comfortable in months. Highly recommend this little hidden gem!

Megan is a phenomenal therapeutic massage therapist. I had been suffering from chronic back pain and headaches due to spending hours sitting at my desk. She is an attentive, passionate and knowledgeable therapeutic massage therapist. Not only did her massages alleviate my back pain, but she also took the time to show me how to improve my posture at work keep my feeling good in between sessions. She also does this super intense TMJ massage that has helped my tension headaches tremendously. I highly recommend!

Meta Bodywork is my favorite wellness space. Megan and her team are experienced and exceptional LMTs. I have been going to Meta Bodywork for close to three years, and I would highly recommend them for the different therapeutic and wellness services that they offer.

I have been shopping for an experience gifted massage therapist for about 3 years, and can confirm Meghan is truly THE BEST! She has the knowledge of anatomy and movement as well as the ability to work with your energy leaving you blissed out. A true gem!

Best massages in Jersey City! I’ve seen multiple massage therapists and they have all been fantastic. I’ve struggled with chronic pain from my scoliosis and all of the massage therapists I’ve seen have been able to help. The space is also super cozy and relaxing.

I suffer from TMJ and migraines and Meta Halo, their TMJ massage was a game changer! The space is beautiful and calming and every massage therapist I’ve had provided an effective treatment and immense relief in my jaw pain.

If you’re looking for a massage in Jersey City, look no further! The space is absolutely beautiful, quiet, and serene. The therapists are wonderful. Scheduling is a breeze. Can’t say enough about how much I’ve enjoyed myself here and look forward to these treats!

OMG what a bliss. Mybess was wonderful, and the whole facility is beautiful. Will come back!

I hurt my lower back changing a tire for my girlfriend. I was in pain for two weeks with soreness and a lack of mobility. I scheduled an appointment and Latasha was my therapist. She knew exactly what to do to leave me in great shape when I left. Keep up the good work!

Being active in the military, healing time after an injury is of the highest importance. I recently had a shoulder injury and after about 7 weeks of healing and physical therapy I desperately felt the need for pain relief. My physical therapist recommended Meta Bodywork and I was blown away. Meghan is the real deal, she was extremely knowledgeable about my condition and the healing process that comes with it. I left in less pain than I had felt in months.

I booked my first META Bodywork massage on my birthday and it was the perfect present to myself. Would definitely recommend. Ill be back!

Meta Bodywork is a fantastic place for a massage. I’ve had treatments with a few of the staff here and all are excellent. They really understand the body and tailor the experience to your personal needs. Highly recommend

Ive been going to Meta bodywork for about two years now and Ive never felt better. The attention to detail and effort by Meghan and her team is the best. Also, the fact that theyre growing so much means people are loving them, therefore you will too.

Meghan is awesome! She’s a structural specialist (as well as a ton of other specialties) and was the first person in the 16 years I’ve been getting bodywork to diagnose and treat a troublesome issue with my achilles tendons. Best in the area by far.

If you are looking for a deeply knowledgable, kind and caring massage therapist, look no further than Meghan at Meta Bodywork! I dont know how I managed my muscle tightness and neck pain before going to her...Run, dont walk to Meta Bodywork! You wont be disappointed.

Couldn’t recommend Laurren more for massages!! I have neck and back pain and Laurren always provides a unique, customizable massage. I always leave feeling brand new. The space is also beautiful which is an added bonus.

First massage ever. Angie was great. Felt very comfortable the entire time.

Megan hosted a wonderful outdoor meditation with a singing bowl and aromatherapy that started a Friday off on a good mindset of self acceptance.

Had an amazing massage with Latasha. She addressed all my problem spots and paid special attention to working out my kinks. Ill be back soon!

I started going to Meta 2.5 years ago and it makes no sense to even consider going anywhere else. No matter which therapist I see, I always feel better than when I came in. You will not be disappointed.

My husband and I both had great 90 min massages with Carleigh. We wish we found her sooner! 10/10

Metabody is the best! I have been here a number of times, mostly with Meghan, and I cannot say enough good things.

Best massage I have ever had! Really helped my shoulder injury and overall tightness. Very professional. Highly recommend.

Latasha is incredible! Warm and inviting, my first massage in a long time and I’m looking forward to many more!

Jayne is awesome for anyone that loves a really deep pressure massage with a knowledgeable therapist!

Amazing facility. Very relaxing and calming massage. 10/10 recommend!

My favorite place to get a massage in the NYC/North NJ area! Knowing that she is working on the root cause versus just where you’re sore.

Fantastic! I’ve been to multiple massage therapists and everyone has been amazing. Can’t recommend enough.

I love this place! I have been visiting Carleigh for 11 months and she is so talented in healing my body pain.

My favorite place to relax and unwind.Nancy Raza is the best therapist I’ve ever met

Had a solid massage today. Cozy space. Will definitely be back again.

Meghan is great! Rock star therapist, rock star human.

Excellent staff all around. Come for the massage, stay for the sound therapy!

Excellent massage. Very kind staff.
