Testimonials

"Ariana was a valuable instructor for our team here at the Spa at Chatham Bars Inn. Her extensive knowledge of the massage field is evident in her training abilities. She is very clear, patient and through with the staff. Her hands on training with a staff of 12 people was a valuable and necessary piece of the training. The staff felt very comfortable around her and she was very approachable when they had questions. She was a pleasure to work with in organizing the training and also was very professional. I would definitely recommend her to another Spa looking for a group training class. Thank you Ariana for all that you did for us and for the team." – Heather Deveau, Spa Director, Chatham Bars Inn Spa, Cape Cod

"Spa Aloha was preparing to open when the spa director wisely chose Ariana Vincent to visit the site and coach the team of new massage therapists with her continuing education courses. Popular and relevant classes offered something useful for everyone present. Ariana's experience as an educator shone through with customized booklets for each student containing concise protocols with illustrations, and CE certificates validating credit hours for license renewal. Each course was thoughtfully tailored for the spa and the classroom set up with all supplies ready at class time. Ariana's greatest gift to the spa was the benefit of her vast industry experience. Over the years I have come to rely on Ariana for trusted advice on running a successful teaching practice. The great wealth of information she has to share coupled with her exceptional skills and experience make her a true gem of the bodywork community." - Keri LaBalle, LMT, MTI

"I have known Ariana for 25 years and have always felt uplifted and appreciated in her company. She has served as both my teacher and my massage therapist and, on occasion, I have been honored to return the favor in kind. In a word, everybody wins when they come to Ariana. Whether it is in her classroom, the treatment room or working through one of her many well designed online educational courses, if you go to Ariana for assistance, in any of those areas, you will receive not only the help you asked for, you will get to experience the warmth of her friendship and the delight of her great sense of humor. (I love to hear her laugh!) Call or email her with a question and she gets right back with you, over and again if necessary, until you get what you need. She is a true, dedicated lifelong learner and she knows she has come here to help. What more could I possibly add? I wholeheartedly recommend her fine work and her good character to anyone who asks. She treats you right." - Jonathan Walker, M.Ed., LMT, Austin, Texas

I have had the privilege and honor of knowing Ariana Vincent for many years. She is professionally one of the most gifted massage therapists I have encountered. Her attention to her clients, vast knowledge of many modalities, caring and healing touch has been such a gift to me always and especially as I traveled through this last year of cancer. My journey has been one of great learning, healing, grief, loss and acceptance, but most of what I have felt is enormous gratitude for how Ariana carried me with her love, visits, words of encouragement, prayers and presence in my life and how she supported not only me but my sweet family. I am forever honored and gifted by her love and support. Sandy Zellers-Tolson

"Ariana has so many talents, it's hard to know where to start! She does so much so well... She came into a most difficult situation of my husband, Dan, dying from pancreatic cancer, and she made it the best, most loving and heart-filled process it could be... On pain-filled days, Ariana brought healing, soothing touch; into the chaos and disorder of medical problems and suffering, her very presence was calming to all concerned. To confusion and disarray and complications, she quietly and efficiently brought clarity and organization. Never pushy, she was always thoughtful of others and emanated love and support as she peacefully went about getting things done to help out. Ariana was truly a blessing throughout the whole process, and I am deeply grateful for her presence and help and loving support--truly an angel of light in a desperately dark moment of my life." - Anya Rylander-Jones
