About Tara

“Helping people find relief, whether from pain, stress or a long week, is what drew me to this work. It’s my way of giving a little good back into the world. Every session starts with a conversation about what you need that day, whether that’s easing an old injury, loosening tight muscles, or simply an hour to let go.”

With nearly two decades of experience, Tara LaScola has been a licensed massage therapist in Massachusetts since 2007. Before opening her own practice, she spent 19 years working at a variety of massage and wellness facilities across the North Shore, building extensive hands-on experience and specialized training in therapeutic massage, including deep tissue techniques, medical massage, instrument-assisted soft tissue work, cupping, and hot stone massage.

In 2024, Tara began her training in RAPID Neurofascial Reset, a specialized hands-on technique for nerve and soft tissue restrictions that cause pain, tightness, or limited movement. She now offers RAPID sessions alongside her massage work for clients who need a more targeted approach.

At North Shore Massage, Tara combines her therapeutic expertise with a personalized approach to care. Located in a private suite at Sola Salon Studios on Highland Avenue in Salem, her practice offers a welcoming, comfortable environment where every session is tailored to the individual.

Whether you’re seeking relief from persistent muscle tension, recovering from an injury, or simply looking for time to relax, Tara takes the time to understand your needs and customize your massage experience.

Before you book

Cancellations & Rescheduling

Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. A credit card is required at booking. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice and missed appointments are subject to a charge of 50% of the scheduled session price.

Payment & Gratuity

Payment is due at the time of your appointment. Gratuities are appreciated but never expected. Receipts are available upon request for clients seeking reimbursement through an HSA or FSA, subject to their plan’s eligibility requirements.

Late Arrivals

If you’re running late, please notify Tara as soon as possible. Your session may need to be shortened to accommodate the next appointment, and the full session price will still apply. When scheduling permits, Tara will do her best to accommodate your full treatment time.

Health & Safety

Your health and comfort are a priority. Please let Tara know about any injuries, medical conditions, recent procedures, or other health concerns that could affect your massage. Certain conditions may require modifications or medical clearance before treatment.

Common questions

What should I wear?

For massage, undress to your comfort level. You’re covered with a sheet the whole time, and only the area being worked on is uncovered. For RAPID, wear comfortable athletic clothing (no jeans), since you’ll be moving during the session.

Do you take insurance?

No. Many clients pay with an HSA or FSA card, and Tara can give you a receipt on request to submit to your plan.

How often should I book?

Every 2 to 4 weeks while you’re working on an ongoing issue, and about once a month for maintenance. Tara will suggest a plan after your first visit.

What if I’m running late?

Text or call Tara at 617-710-4603. If the schedule allows, you’ll still get your full session; otherwise it ends on time at the full price, so the next client isn’t kept waiting.
