Meet Your Therapist

Hi, I’m Andre Carvalho, LMT, owner of KnotionMend. 

I offer therapeutic massage tailored to what your body needs most, whether that’s stress relief, relaxation, focused tension work, or a more targeted, results-driven session.

My approach blends calming, nervous-system-supportive care with intentional, hands-on work to help you unwind, move more comfortably, and feel better in your body.

Every session is customized with care, with pressure ranging from light to deep based on your goals, preferences, and what your body responds best to.

My Approach

My work is grounded in careful listening, thoughtful technique, and real-time adjustments based on what your body needs.

Each session is intentional, not rushed or routine, and guided by:

• Slow, intentional techniques
• Clear communication and ongoing consent
• Respect for the nervous system
• Adjustments based on your comfort and feedback

Quiet is welcome. Conversation is welcome. You set the tone.

What I Often Help With

Clients often come in for support with:

• Chronic tension and stiffness
• Neck, shoulder, and low back discomfort
• Postural strain from work and daily life
• Nerve-related tension patterns, including sciatic-style tightness
• TMJ tension and headaches
• Stress, burnout, and nervous system overload
• Overuse patterns and repetitive strain
• Foot, calf, hip, and leg tightness, including plantar fascia patterns
• Restricted mobility, including frozen shoulder patterns

If something feels familiar or keeps returning, you don’t have to wait until it gets worse.

Techniques & Modalities

Every session is customized based on your goals and what your body needs that day. Depending on the session, I may incorporate:

Foundational styles

• Therapeutic massage for clinical, goal-focused work
• Swedish massage for relaxation, circulation, and nervous system support
• Sports massage for recovery, performance support, and overuse patterns

Targeted techniques

• Myofascial release for tension patterns and restricted movement
• Trigger point therapy / NMT for knots, referred pain, and stubborn tightness
• Lymphatic techniques for gentle support with fluid movement and swelling
• Craniosacral therapy for subtle, quiet work and nervous system down-regulation
• Reflexology for foot-based nervous system support and full-body relaxation

Optional add-ons

• Cupping
• Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (muscle scraping)
• Hot stones
• Aromatherapy

If you have preferences, let me know. If not, that is completely fine. I will guide the session based on your goals and what I am feeling in the tissue.

Recommended Booking Rhythms

There is no one perfect frequency for massage. The right rhythm depends on your goals, how your body is feeling, and what feels supportive and sustainable for your lifestyle.

• Weekly for a shorter season of care when pain, tension, or stress feels especially high
• Every 2 to 3 weeks for chronic tension, training recovery, or steady progress without too much buildup
• Every 3 to 4 weeks for maintenance, posture-related strain, and ongoing support
• Once a month for general wellness, relaxation, and stress relief

Referral Thank You

As a thank-you for supporting my practice, anyone who refers a new client will receive a $20 gift certificate after the referred client completes their first session.

One referral thank-you is offered per new client referred.

Comfort, Privacy & Professionalism

Your comfort and privacy come first.

• Undress in private to your comfort level
• Professionally draped at all times
• Only the area being worked on is uncovered
• Private areas are never exposed
• Abdominal work, if requested, is performed through the sheet or blanket
• Table heat, blanket weight, and other comfort details can always be adjusted to your needs

Professional Boundaries
All services provided at KnotionMend are strictly therapeutic, professional, and non-sexual in nature. Any inappropriate behavior, comments, advances, or requests will result in the immediate termination of the session, full payment being charged, and refusal of future services. KnotionMend reserves the right to report any threatening, abusive, or unlawful behavior to the appropriate authorities.

Booking & Contact

Appointments are booked directly through KnotionMend, not the Whole Health & Wellness front desk.

• Online booking available 24/7
• Call or text: (978) 219-7240
• Location: 800 West Cummings Park, Suite 4700, 4th Floor, inside Whole Health & Wellness

A card on file is required to reserve an appointment. It is used only to hold the scheduled time and helps protect the practice from last-minute cancellations and no-shows.

Payment & Insurance

• I do not bill insurance directly
• HSA and FSA cards are accepted
• Superbills are available upon request for possible out-of-network reimbursement

Reimbursement depends on your plan, so I recommend confirming coverage directly with your insurance provider.

Cancellation Policy

Because your appointment time is reserved specifically for you, cancellations or reschedules must be made at least 24 hours in advance.

• 24+ hours’ notice: No fee
• Less than 24 hours’ notice or no-show: 100% of the scheduled session fee

If you arrive late, your session may need to be shortened to respect the next scheduled appointment. The full session fee will still apply.

In rare, true emergency situations, exceptions may be made at my discretion.

You’re Welcome Here

Whether you are managing something ongoing, recovering from stress, training hard, or simply wanting to feel more at ease in your body, you are welcome here.

I truly look forward to working with you and supporting you through your care.
