I don't think there's another person like Tom. He is extremely professional and understands the human body like no one I've seen or experienced. I felt transformed, like I was gifted a new body after. I am definitely going to be a regular.

Amazing massage experience with Tom. He is an extremely skilled massage therapist using just the right amount of pressure and the necessary technique/method to release/relieve any tension so that you leave feeling lighter, looser and more flexible. Tom has a great energy, openness, and passion for life which is infectious. Looking forward to my next session.

I took my mom here for a massage & she absolutely loved it. She has pain in her lower back from an accident a few years ago & Tom really helped to alleviate those problem areas. I would definitely recommend coming here for an awesome massage. Tom is very friendly & awesome to talk to. He is also an avid runner who has completed 10 marathons. He's a strong athlete who really understands the body & muscle needs.

My second time here tonight, just as great as the first! He found my knots within 2 minutes and actually used firm pressure like I asked for. I feel great. He was very caring and checked a few times to make sure it was ok. Very comfortable and peaceful. Best massage in Bergen County!
Cathy Reed
My name is Cathy Reed and I am writing on behalf of Tom Augustyniak, owner of the Zen Massage Center in Paramus, NJ. I am a competitive figure skater and I compete in ice dancing with my brother and partner Chris Reed for Japan. It is extremely important for us and necessary for all athletes, to receive shiatsu and deep tissue massages to avoid any muscle injuries. Athletes need their muscles to be relaxed but strong and healthy to compete in their sports.
When Tom gives me a massage, he locates my tight muscles and problems right away and treats it immediately. He can locate every knot, bump or tight muscle with just one touch. Plus he is such a nice person to talk to, a person to call my friend. I truly appreciate all his help and expertise, keeping us in good condition and feeling ready for our competitions. Thank you Tom!!!!
