We wanted to create a wellness center which focused on providing the highest quality and outcome based care available to our clients. Over the last 7 years, we have built our practice by referrals. Many of our clients have relied on our services for their health care needs since our opening in 2001. People are overworked and overstressed. So, we settled into a lakeside cottage that enables people to truly relax and unwind. It is not at all unusual for people to come into our office and remark on how a sense of calm comes over them as soon as they arrive. When someone calls for an appointment, their first contact is with a massage therapist, not a receptionist. Only by determining the client's true needs, can we determine the best treatment option and therapist for them. Our practice is very diverse. We treat people afflicted with many different conditions. Some serious, some simply need to relax, some with acute pain, some with chronic pain. For this reason, we practice many different therapies. Each has it's own benefit and focus. Our therapists' focus are diverse as well. Our interests vary from CranioSacral Therapy to Myofascial Release and from Reiki to Reflexology and much more. Whatever our clients need, we are able to provide a treatment that will alleviate pain, reduce stress, and allow the body to regain it's balance. We look forward to meeting you.

Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. While eliminating anxiety and pressure altogether in this fast-paced world may be idealistic, massage can, without a doubt, help manage stress. This translates into: Decreased anxiety. Enhanced sleep quality. Greater energy. Improved concentration. Increased circulation. Reduced fatigue. Reiki is a great and valuable healing tool. It knows exactly where to go, how to respond and how to eliminate restrictions to the flow of Ki (ENERGY). Reiki goes directly to the tissues and organs affected by low Ki and it also works on the conscienceless parts of the mind and body that contain negative thoughts and feelings eliminating them. Reiki flows to where it is need to break up and dissolve any negativity lodged in the body or mind allowing for a healthy flow of Ki to resume. As Reiki energy flows through the body a deep state of relaxation occurs allowing spirit, mind and body to be nourished and balanced replacing illness with harmony and health.

I am a NY Licensed Massage Therapist who for many years has followed a more natural and holistic approach to life. Educated at the highly regarded Finger Lakes School of Massage, I went on to become certified by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Body Work and a member of the American Massage Therapy Association. For many years as an artist, I used my hands to sculpt and mold many different mediums. I found art to be therapeutic and meditative. "Art fuels the soul." After a traumatic injury, I was given the gift of therapeutic massage sessions to aid in recovery. The increased range of motion and reduction of scar tissue was amazing! Learning that massage therapy had many medical benefits opened my eyes to new possibilities. Massage therapy is transformative, both physically and mentally. I made the choice to walk down a new path, one that still enabled me to "sculpt" with my hands, and transform lives anew. But massage therapy doesn't just have medical benefits. Taking time out for oneself has many mental and spiritual benefits as well. We need to care for ourselves first, in order for us to care for others. Stress reduction, decreased recovery time, improved immune system functions, relief from tension headaches, better sleep - What's not to love about massage therapy? Compassionate, intuitive, with an ability to find those spots of tension you never even realized you had. Understanding the importance of a healthy body and realizing that many ailments can be treated with touch therapies fuels my ambitions to continue learning, exploring, and helping people. Through my training in many different massage therapy techniques, I design full body and target-specific therapeutic sessions customized to the needs of individual clients. Each massage is unique. A gift to you. I believe in the power of therapeutic body awareness. I welcome you to indulge in deep relaxation and physical healing. Relax. Re-align. Rejuvenate your soul.
