DUMBO Wellness Studios — Local services in New York

The building that Dumbo Wellness is located inside offers no clues to the calming oasis within. Its on the third floor of a building that has a mix of what looks like offices and designer studios, and even has a laser tag in the basement.

I wanted to be able to call and speak with the office via phone regarding little things such as how to use giftcards or letting the team know my ETA, but honestly they are quick to return calls or respond to texts so it really didn’t bother me much.

I have been seeing Siobhan for a few years and she is by far the best massage therapist I’ve been to. She always takes the time to discuss any issues you are having with your body and during your session she really zeros in on those problem areas. She checks in with you along the way as well and always explains what she is doing or why she is doing something. I always leave learning something new about my body.
