Welcome!

Massage Therapy is an absolutely vital part of your... vitality! 

Why Choose Massage?

I believe massage, when combined with intentional and compassionate self care, can and will help you achieve a higher level of well being, far beyond relaxation. 

Massage Reduces Stress, Relieves Pain, Improves Circulation, Eases Pregnancy Discomforts, Calms Anxiety and Induces Healthful Sleep.  (And, it feels, really, really good!)

Reduces Stress:
Massage quiets the nervous system, relaxes the mind and provides an overall sense of well being.  It helps to replenish oxygen and nutrients to cells and tissues that are often depleted during times of stress.

Relieves Pain:
Massage effectively reduces pain and can help eliminate both chronic and acute muscle tension.  Massage gently stretches and realigns the muscle tissues and releases trigger points.  Headaches, backaches and neck spasms are all improved with regular massage.

Improves Circulation:
Massage increases blood and oxygen flow to the heart and muscles, and aids in lymphatic fluid flow and drainage throughout the body, supporting toxin release.

Massage is also wonderful for relieving pregnancy discomforts from hormonal and physical changes, and helps to induce peaceful, restful sleep.  Recent research suggests massage is highly beneficial for geriatric, oncology and HIV positive patients.


Why Choose Me as Your Massage Therapist?

All of my education and experience has contributed to my unique, wholistic approach to healing and wellness.  Each and every massage session should be the best session I can provide.  It is a shared responsibility - just as you expect me to give you my very best effort, I expect you to be proactive and speak your mind.  Please know you are encouraged to help me provide you with the best session possible.

Massage is an important part of your healthcare and wellness routine.  Massage is healthcare that feels like a luxury.  Lucky you!


About Me:
I am a professionally trained, licensed and nationally certified massage therapist in practice for 4 years.  I am a professional member of the American Massage Therapy Association, and an Affiliate Member of the American College of Sports Medicine.

I received my massage therapy training at CCMT in Westport, CT, the oldest and most reputable school dedicated soley to massage therapy education.  I have continued to hone my skills with level one certification in Cranio-Sacral Therapy with the Upledger Institute and independent educators across the Northeast. 

Prior to my massage therapy education, I graduated from Adelphi University in Garden City NY, with a dual major in Anthropology and Sociology. 

I also trained as an Herbalist at the Partner Earth Education Center in Vermont, and studied under Robin Rose Bennett as an herbal apprentice.

My current interests include pursuit of certification as a Personal Trainer with the American College of Sports Medicine, and a Masters in Human Nutrition.  I usually have a lot on my plate, but thats because life is so interesting, and there is so much to do and love out there!


Services and Session Fees:

Integrated Massage:
Soothing, relaxing traditional Swedish massage combined with deeper pressure and stretching to achieve the perfect combination.  Muscle tension, "knots" and pain are relieved, and the stress is melted away.  This is the most requested session.
30 minutes - $45
60 minutes - $75
90 minutes - $105

Deep Tissue Massage:
More intense, deeper pressure is used to effect change in the deeper muscle structures.  Deep, stationary pressure, slow, deep strokes and stretching combine for an effective treatment.

60 minutes - $90

Heated basalt river stones are used as heat packs and as tools during the massage session.  The combination of direct heat application and soothing massage creates an unbelievably meditative and profoundly relaxing experience for most clients.

What to Expect:
Your session will last from 30 - 90 minutes depending on the treatment type we have agreed upon.  A brief history is taken prior to your session to assess appropriate session type and any contraindications.  Regardless of session type, you can always expect appropriate draping, clean, comfortable sheets and a quiet environment. Please note that the oils, creams and lotions I use are natural and/or organic, and are unscented unless we discuss other options beforehand.  Most of the products I use, including those I make myself, are available for purchase if you are interested.
