What our clients say about us
Dr. Kyle O'Flaherty
Doctor of Physical Therapy
Yotam was the best masseuse I’ve ever had
He really took the time to ask and asses where I needed work rather than other experiences where it’s one sized fits all treatment. His body work felt amazing and I walked out of the treatment a new person
It truly was a best bespoke body work I’ve ever come across
The space was incredible, quiet and tranquil. I would highly recommend the experience
As I understand it he has a great team that he has hand picked to highlight specialities such as postpartum.
10/10 recommend ! You won’t find better

Yotam and his team are highly effective in their efforts to provide the best treatments whenever I had issues with my body, back, shoulders and knees as a dancer and drummer.

"I send all my clients to Mudras and I don't preach what I haven't tried first. It's the place to go, without a question. If you are serious about your active life and if you want to be the best, go to the best!"
Diane Lee
Professional Dancer
I've never met anyone who's as skilled, hands-on, and knowledgeable as Yotam. As a dancer who puts her body through so much stress week after week, it is imperative to me to have someone who can support me in my recovery and performance. After two knee surgeries and chronic injuries, I've been on the hunt for a massage experience that helps me feel my best inside and outside the studio. I'm so thankful that I was referred to Yotam. I always walk out of our sessions feeling restored. He always goes above and beyond. He's also generous in sharing practices I can integrate into my daily recovery regimen. I cannot recommend him enough!! He truly is the best!!!
Kristan Serafino
Celebrity Hairstylist
I honestly can’t put into words how amazing my experience with Yotam. This is so much more than just a massage it truly feels like therapy for both body and mind. Yotam has an incredible intuition for exactly what you need, and every session feels personalized and genuinely healing.
I came in seriously tense and totally stressed out, but left feeling lighter, clearer, and recharged in a way I’ve never experienced anywhere else. He’s not just working out knots he’s somehow helping reset everything. If you’re searching for the best massage in NYC, this is it. It’s next-level.
Gabriella Halikas (Ella)
Yotam was so incredible and immediately relieved pain in my body! He knew the exact technique and movement specifically for my body and specific needs. I would 100% recommend him for all your body work needs.
Dr. Cailin D.
Physical Therapist
As a Doctor of Physical Therapy specializing in pelvic floor care, I’m very selective about the bodywork I trust for myself and my patients. My experience at Mudras Massage has been exceptional. The therapists here combine deep expertise with a truly customized approach that makes every session both restorative and therapeutic.
I not only come here for my own care, but I also confidently refer my patients to Mudras, knowing they will receive the same high level of treatment and attention. The massage specialists I’ve worked with are outstanding, and I highly recommend Mudras to anyone seeking serious massage and bodywork that delivers real results.

This is my GO TO massage spot in nyc. I am very picky when it comes to massages because I have a really bad lower back and every time I leave Mudras, I feel so much better. I tell my friends and followers he has magic healing hands because he does! Must go to if in NYC!!!!!
Dr. Peggy Brill

Yotam gives the best massages ever…love his technique and I know bodywork as a manual orthopedic physical therapist! Highest recommendation for Yotam
Qasim Ellis
Financial Adviser
I had the most amazing experience at Mudras! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was calming, welcoming, and exactly what I needed. But the real highlight of my visit was Yotam—hands down the best masseuse I’ve ever had. His technique, attention to detail, and ability to find and relieve tension were truly incredible. I left feeling completely renewed, both physically and mentally. If you’re looking for a top-tier massage experience, ask for Yotam. You won’t regret it! I’ll definitely be coming back.
Anastasiia Aslanidi
Professional Choreographer/performer
have experienced an incredible massage session last week at Mudras Chelsea. My colleague TJ highly recommended the space and therapists and I had no doubt about that. Being an athlete and a Coach requires a lot of training and discipline and we always seek recovery options. Mudras provided the service I desperately needed. They asked and listened, customized the techniques focusing on lymphatic drainage and digestion improvements. I left relaxed and recharged. I happened to work with a female therapist this time, and open to try other specialists as well for deep tissue work. Highly
recommend! Anastasiia
Gabriele Nicolo
I had an absolutely amazing massage experience that exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was calm, clean, and welcoming exactly what you'd want when looking to relax. The massage therapist was professional, attentive, and incredibly skilled. They took the time to ask about any areas of tension or discomfort, and tailored the session to focus on those spots while still providing a full-body experience! True 11/10
Vanessa Fry
Genuinely had such a great experience at Mudras in Chelsea! Dawn was my massage therapist, and I’ve never felt like someone has ever cared about my experience more. She took the time to get to know my body’s needs, ask me plenty of questions, and had an endearing approach. Her deep tissue massage was affective but discomfort-free. The stretches she implemented helped further release my muscles and I really felt a difference in my body afterward. As an athlete, I would recommend her and Mudras to anyone who’s looking for a massage catered just for you. No “one-size-fits-all” here!
Thank you, Mudras! :)
Adam Gray
Yotam is literally magic! Not only is he a super high-quality guy, but somehow he just knows exactly what to do to reset my body. After a session I always walk straighter, stand taller, reach higher, and just function and feel better. I just wish there was more time to spend with him!
Valerie Kogan
Running a tech company means long hours, high stress, and way too much time at a desk or on the plane. I’ve tried different spas and massages over the years, but nothing compares to Mudras’ BodyReset.
It’s not just a massage — it’s a customized treatment that really gets into the deep tissue and resets my body so I can think clearly and perform at my best. I value efficiency and results, and that’s exactly what I get here. I’ve even started bringing key partners and team members as a way to recharge together. Truly next level.

Adam Weinberg
Yotam and his team are absolutely the greatest wellness team in NYC. Why? They've got some special magic. Industry secrets that only elite facilities provide. If you want to see what's beyond the next leve, go to Mudras for your massage, Believe me, I've tried them all over the past 25+ years. Nobody else is even in the same league. You won't be disappointed.
Devon Bartel
I recently purchased the Mudras Recovery Cream and 10/10 recommend. The cream is silky and packed with skin supporting ingredients. The FIRST ingredient is emu oil! The scent is delicate and the cream melts effortlessly into skin. I was using primarily on my lower back for chronic pain but have integrated this product into my daily routine whether it be for dryness or just wanting to pamper myself. I can't wait to be back in NY to restock & schedule a session!

Nigel Barker

I have had hundreds of massages in my life and Mudras isn’t just a great massage, he’s one of the very best therapists I have ever encountered. One of those experiences that alters your conception of what a massage can possibly be. He’s a true therapist who understands anatomy and your muscular skeletal system like most doctors only hope to. You are lucky if you get an appointment.
Adesola Osakalumi
Let me start by saying I've had many massages & body work treatments over the years and this one at Mudras was one of the best I've ever had!
Yotam started by getting a detailed breakdown of the issues and problem spots I wanted addressed. He has a clear understanding of what the body needs & how to approach restoring the body to it's optimal performance. Grear technique combined with very strong hands. A shoulder issue is drastically improved after just 1 session and I can't wait to return. I HIGHLY recommend Mudras.
Lada Kravchenko

Mudras is a magician when it comes to massage and knowing what your body needs! I’ve never had the better massage in my life and highly recommend his services to everyone valuing their health.
Free Boogie

I must say that I was skeptical at first.Many Masseuse Therapists had worked on my back before with no results.
This place has the best staff.They really know their stuff and I am grateful!
Thank you all!
Dr. Leah Kim
Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine
As a manual therapist I rarely give myself 5 stars, let alone anyone else! But … objectively I have to say, my session with yotam deserves great praise.
His demeanor was warm and professional and even his kind deep voice was soothing. His touch and technique was well rhythmed-meaning his hands flowed well, pacing the strokes and depth of strokes accordingly in response.
To the tissues and my nervous system. He also has a magical massage table that conforms to the body posture most supportive to my body. I was in a lot of hip pain and was worried that laying in a flat position would aggravate it, but the table changes into a shape that allowed ease for my hips as he worked!
Crystal Gossman
Celebrity make-up artist
I recommend Mudras to everyone I know. I’m a Makeup artist and mainly work on production sets, that entails a-lot of standing and awkward positions that can be taxing on the body.
Mudras therapists are not just massage therapists, they’re true healers. Every session feels intentional, restorative, and deeply grounded in care. They don’t just provide relief; they educate you on your body and help you understand what’s going on beneath the surface. You leave feeling lighter, and more aligned.
Paris Berelc

Yotam is absolutely wonderful. Kind human and cares deeply about helping people. If you are someone who needs help with their body, would 100% recommend going to see him.
Solea Pfeiffer
Artist/Broadway Star
Yotam is absolutely unmatched in his skill and expertise. As a professional performer I don’t trust just anyone with my body, but Yotam knows how to heal and knows how to get right to the problem spots. The massage is incredible relaxing while incredibly beneficial health wise. Don’t hesitate to book with this gifted healer!
Kirk Myers
Dogpound founder
As a fitness professional and gym founder, finding effective bodywork is essential!!!
Mudra’s BodyReset isn’t your typical massage. it’s a targeted, clinical approach to sports massage that identifies and corrects movement patterns, helping prevent injury. After training, a session here re aligns my body and restores function with deep-tissue work. I’ve relied on Body Reset to stay injury-free and at peak performance. This isn’t relaxation—it’s serious bodywork for anyone who trains hard. Worth every penny!!!!!!
Tommy DiDario
Entertainment reporter/Radio Host iHeart Radio Podcast - I’ve Never Said This Before
Yotam is the best healer I have ever worked with. When you leave a visit with him, your body feels completely rejuvenated and any aches and pains disappear. Finding him has been completely game-changing, and I always look forward to feeling my best after our visits!

YOTAM makes you feel at ease the minute you meet him. His massage is specifically designed for your needs. For me I needed relaxation and tension release and that’s exactly what I got. Don’t wait... book now!
Sarah Azari

Yotam is better than BEST. I travel to NYC often and whether it's post-flight wreckage, tension from high heels or from lifting heavy at the gym, my body takes me to Yotam for much needed care. He is skilled and intuitive and knows the body like no other. There is no massage therapist or chiropractor that can do what Yotam does. His methodology to tension release is the tune-up that every body and everybody needs.
