I'm a graduate of the NCCC Massage Therapy Program located in Saranac Lake, NY. Originally a nurse, I made the career change into the massage therapy field because I wanted to help patients/clients in a different way than I was able to in the allopathic medical setting. It was a difficult decision, but one of the VERY best I've ever made!! I now love what I do, and my clients tell me it shows in my work. I would describe my massage style is very integrative. I am trained in Swedish, deep tissue, hot stone, and sports massage, as well as reflexology and trigger point work. I have also received an Advanced Certification in Prenatal massage and enjoy working with mothers in the stages of both pregnancy and postpartum.
Massage
Smooth stones are heated, oiled, and applied to the body in long gliding strokes to create the "melting" sensation of this modality is adored for. The added heat and weight of the stones amplifies the effects of the massage session. *For this reason, hot stone work may be contraindicated for those who are pregnant or those with inflammatory or cardiovascular conditions. If either situation applies to you, please consult with the therapist before booking your appointment.*
Reflexology
Based upon the belief that points on the hands and feet correlate to specific areas of the body, the therapist manipulates these points as a way to indirectly treat the rest of the body. This beautifully relaxing treatment is non-invasive, yet highly effective in bringing balance and an overall sense of well-being. This type of massage is particularly good for clients who are unable to receive touch to the other parts of their bodies, or who are otherwise uncomfortable with full-body massage.
