Fraser Massage Adding Acupuncture and Body Worker Practitioners

Fraser Massage is adding two new practitioners to its office.

Crystal Meyers of AcuPUNKture and Ben Burke, Integrative Body Worker are joining Fraser Massage.

Leslie Fraser, owner of Framingham-based Fraser Massage, said the addition of acupuncture and integrative body work services will expand the scope of services and create a “one-stop shopping” source for those in need of alternative healing in the MetroWest area.

There will be an open house on Wednesday July 15 from 4 to 7 p.m. at Fraser Massage’s new location.

Fraser Massage re-located from a smaller upstairs space to a larger first floor office, with a private bath, on June 1 at 118 Union Ave, Suite 10, in Framingham.

The public is invited to the open house to meet the practitioners, visit the new office space, and enjoy some wine and hors d’oeuvres.

Meyers is a compassionate healer dedicated to helping all walks of life achieve and maintain the best quality of life possible, said Fraser.

She graduated from Framingham State University with a Bachelor of Science in food and nutrition and went on to obtain her Masters of Acupuncture at the New England School of Acupuncture.

She offers private Chinese and Japanese-style acupuncture treatments in which she incorporates adjunctive techniques such as Cupping, Gua Sha, Tui Na and Moxibustion, Therapeutic Essential Oils and Nutrition Counseling.

When she isn’t treating patients at her private practice, she works full-time as an Acupuncturist at a wellness center in Boston. Meyers, who is owner and acupuncturist at AcuPUNKtureChinese and Japanese Style Acupuncture, can be reached at 774-259-6751.

Burke received his initial training in massage therapy at a summer intensive training at the World School of Massage and Advanced Healing Arts in San Francisco in 1996. He was trained in a modality called “Vibrational Healing Massage”. This modality was developed by Patricia Cramer, founder of the World School of Massage.

He studied Vibrational Massage levels 1-3. Following that, he received levels 2 and 3 training directly from Cramer. In 1999, he did another intensive training session, on the Big Island of Hawaii, where he received training in levels 4 and 5, also directly from Cramer.

Massage has always been a side hobby for Burke, at first helping out friends and co-workers, said Fraser.

He would work on friends and family in their home on a donation basis, but now he is looking forward to offering his services within the offices of Fraser Massage, she said.

He will be available for sessions on Monday and Wednesday evenings by appointment only at Fraser Massage.

Vibrational Healing Massage is in the line of new healing modalities called “bodywork”. Bodywork can include rub downs, but Vibrational Healing more accurately works with joints, structure and emotional release of pent-up tensions and stresses. Vibrational Healing Massage Therapy builds on theories similar to other modalities, and yet is unique among bodywork techniques. His work is also known as “integrative healing” or “integrative bodywork”.

Fraser Massage opened in Framingham in 2014 and is owned by Framingham resident Leslie Fraser.

Fraser Massage had been previously operating in Natick and South Natick since 2007 as Leslie Idzal Massage Therapy.

Known for her Deep Tissue, Sports Massage and Swedish massage, Fraser has expanded her offerings to include Cupping, Reiki, Kinesio Taping, and other modalities.

In her’s spare time, she enjoys building re-purposed items from pallets and working in her pottery studio. She also enjoys photography and sailing.

Fraser said she intends to maintain her commitment to offering top level healing modalities to the Metrowest community.
