Personalized massage therapy in Carmel, Indiana
I'm Mary Irvine, a licensed massage therapist in Carmel with over a decade of experience. I treat every client as a person, not a time slot — tailoring each session to what your body actually needs, whether you're managing pain and tension, worn down by daily demands, or simply overdue for time that's yours.
You've been carrying enough.
A full toolkit for pain, tension, and stress
From deep therapeutic work to gentle, restorative care, here's the range I offer. Most sessions blend a few of these, depending on what you came in for. Either way, let me help you feel a little more like yourself again.
Therapeutic & Swedish massage
A custom blend of deep tissue and flowing relaxation work: firm and focused where you're holding tension, lighter and slower where you just need to unwind.
Hot stone therapy
Warm basalt stones melt tension and open up circulation, for a heavy, sink-into-the-table kind of relaxation.
Lymphatic wellness massage
A light, rhythmic touch that supports your body's natural drainage system, easing swelling, encouraging detox, and leaving you feeling lighter.
Graston technique
Stainless steel instruments break up scar tissue and stubborn adhesions in muscles, tendons, and ligaments that hands can't always reach.
Cupping
Suction cups draw blood flow into tight, stuck areas, loosening muscle and kickstarting healing. Offered as stationary or sliding cupping.
Prenatal massage
Relief for low back pain, swollen feet, and the stress of carrying new life. Gentle, therapeutic support for every stage of pregnancy.

Meet Mary Irvine
I've spent over 11 years as a massage therapist, most of it rooted in the spa world, where I developed and refined my intuitive touch and relaxation techniques. Along the way I've worked alongside a physical therapist, gaining real manual-therapy skills, and collaborated with personal trainers and athletes, which deepened my understanding of movement, function, and body mechanics.
That mix lets me bring both a calming, restorative approach and a practical, therapeutic focus. What drives me is a genuine fascination with the body and its ability to heal, and a real investment in the people who trust me with their care.
I'm also always learning. Right now I'm educating myself on buccal massage, a technique that works the muscles of the face and jaw (sometimes from inside the mouth) to release deep-held tension, ease TMJ and headaches, and encourage circulation and lymphatic flow, leaving the face feeling relaxed and naturally lifted. I'm really excited to start weaving it into my sessions.
Outside of work, my life is full in the best way. I'm a boy mom and a bonus mom in the making, and my kids are at the heart of everything I do. That's a big part of why I have a real soft spot for fellow moms. I know firsthand the physical toll of carrying, holding, and chasing after little ones, and how easily we put ourselves last. That said, I genuinely love working with every kind of client, whatever brings you to the table. When I'm not on the table, you'll usually find me staying active: going on walks and discovering new parks, or finding new ways to move and challenge myself at the gym. Staying active, on my own and with my kids, keeps me grounded, and it's part of why I care so much about helping you feel good in your body, too.
Above all, I'm grateful for the trust you place in me. I'll always pay close attention and hold a safe, comfortable space for your healing. Your well-being means the world to me. Thank you for letting me be part of it.
“Comfort isn't a luxury here. It's how your body finally lets go.” Mary Irvine, LMT · Founder, Soothing Solutions
The body communicates: my job is to listen
Every appointment is different, because your body is telling me something different every time you're on the table. My job is to listen: to what you tell me, to what I feel through my hands, and to what your body is communicating. Sometimes that means Graston or cupping on a stubborn area. Sometimes it means slowing everything down. There is no one-size-fits-all approach.
I believe comfort is part of therapeutic work, not separate from it. I've been the client on the table for dozens of massages, and the sessions that helped me most weren't necessarily the ones with the deepest pressure. They were the ones where I felt comfortable, cared for, and able to completely let go. I want to create that same experience for my clients.
That means communication matters. Tell me if you need more pressure, less pressure, more heat, a different position, or something just doesn't feel right. There is no such thing as high-maintenance here. Your comfort matters, and there is no judgment in asking for what you need.
But listening doesn't mean I stay quiet. I'll check in, share what I'm finding, and communicate with you throughout the session. Sometimes the right work is gentle; sometimes we need to address a tender or stubborn area to make progress. The best sessions are a conversation between your body, you, and me.
I believe massage is a valuable tool for supporting people through headaches, back pain, the physical toll of desk work or being on your feet all day, pregnancy, stress, and the everyday wear of caring for a household. But I'll always be honest about what massage can and can't do. Massage is a tool, not a cure-all. I can help get things moving and support your body's recovery, but lasting change also comes from how you move, rest, and recover between visits. Some things took years to build up, and they may take time to unwind.
And if you're simply here because a massage feels good and you want an hour that's yours, with no agenda and no homework, that's more than okay too. You don't have to have a problem to deserve care.
At the heart of everything I do is a simple belief: you deserve to be heard, cared for, and treated as an individual, not a body on a schedule.
Frequently asked
We start by talking through what's going on and what you're hoping for. You're professionally draped throughout, and you're always welcome to ask for a change in pressure or technique. This is your time, and it should feel good the whole way through.
Yes! I offer THC-free CBD from Joy Organics as an optional part of your session. A couple of common myths first: it won't get you high, and it isn't the same as marijuana. My CBD is hemp-derived, THC-free, and non-psychoactive, so there's nothing intoxicating about it. During a session I work it into the areas we're focusing on, where many clients find it helps ease muscle tension, soreness, and inflammation while deepening that sense of relaxation. It's completely optional, so just let me know if you'd like it or would rather skip it. If you take medications or have a medical condition, it's always smart to check with your doctor first.
It depends on your goals. We'll build a plan together, but most clients return every three to four weeks for regular maintenance.
It varies by person and by what's being worked on. Some soreness or light bruising is possible, and pressure is adjusted throughout with open communication. If you're unsure, check with your doctor first.
I focus on wellness massage rather than clinical treatment. For a past injury, a general medical condition, or pregnancy, please bring the details and a doctor's clearance when it's relevant, so I can work safely. I'm not able to take post-surgical recovery, cancer-related care, or other complex medical cases, though; those are best handled by a specialist. If you're ever unsure whether your situation is a good fit, just ask before booking and I'll be honest with you.
All of it. Swedish and deep tissue are never priced separately. Both are therapeutic, and you get whichever (or whatever mix) actually helps.
A calm place to land
Warm towels, essential oils, and a quiet, comfortable room set up with one thing in mind: helping you relax and feel cared for from the moment you walk in.
What my clients say
Mary is absolutely amazing! I had never had a massage before and was so anxious to even get one. She has gone above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and have an amazing experience. Since I started getting massages from her, it's the first time in years that I haven't been in constant pain. I couldn't recommend her enough!
Mary is an amazing massage therapist! I could immediately tell she stood out from every other experience I've had with massage therapy. If you're in need of a massage or related services, Mary should be at the top of your list.
Mary investigated my symptoms and was able to solve my problem in a timely manner. She's thorough and great at what she does!
Mary is an incredible massage therapist and truly takes the time to understand what you need. She has an amazing gift and is great at what she does. I always leave feeling relaxed, refreshed, and SO much better than when I walked in. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a massage therapist!
Your reset for pain, stress, and everything in between
A focused session for tension and restricted blood flow in the face and head, helpful for easing headaches, sinus pressure, and jaw (TMJ) tension.
Tips are always optional and never expected, and deep tissue is never an upcharge. It's simply part of the work. The best ways to support my practice are simple: refer a friend and rebook your next session. That's what helps a small business like mine thrive. Support me in whatever way feels right to you.

Good to know
Cancellations & no-shows
Life happens, and I truly get that. I just ask for 24 hours' notice to cancel or reschedule when you can. As a general policy, late cancellations (within 24 hours) are 50% of the session and no-shows are the full amount, but I always take real circumstances into account before charging anything. If something genuinely comes up, just reach out and we'll work it out together.
Running late
No need to panic. If my schedule allows, I'll still give you your full session. If the day is tight, we'll make the most of the time we have.
Feeling unwell
Please reach out to reschedule if you're sick. It keeps you, me, and my other clients healthy.
A professional practice
This is a professional, therapeutic practice. I ask that all communication and behavior stay respectful. Anything inappropriate will end the session, with full payment due.
