Jessica M.B.Licensed Massage Therapist
Bio
Jessica has always been fascinated by the human body. She attended the Connecticut Center of Massage Therapy (CCMT) taking the Clinical program and graduated in 2008. She is licensed in both Connecticut and New York, and is NCBTMB certified. Over the years, Jessica has worked in a number of spas, clinics and chiropractic offices performing table and chair massage. She has taken a variety of additional courses to improve her skills including Hellerwork’s Myofascial Release technique, Massage Cupping and different types of energy work. Jessica is also interested in pursuing continuing education training in Upledger’s Cranial Sacral therapy course, having already taken CST level 1. Myofasical Release technique works with the important connective tissue called fascial tissue. Fascial tissue can be viewed as a functional encasement, acting like a sort of “webbing”, which envelopes all the muscles, organs, nerves and blood vessels. MFR encourages or “re-educates” the fascial tissue to lengthen and maintain pliability. Jessica will guide you through a combination of MFR techniques, and with your assistance, isolate muscle contraction to achieve better tissue function. MFR is usually a deeper technique that uses little to no lotion.

Alicia D.Licensed Massage Therapist
Bio
I went to Finger Lakes School of Massage in Mt. Kisco, NY and graduated in October 2014. I've been working as a licensed massage therapist since March 2015. I am certified in hydrotherapy, integrative reflexology and ACE medicupping. My style of massage is all encompassing – I believe that just one type of massage isn't enough to help heal the body. With a basis in traditional Swedish massage, I also incorporate myofascial release, trigger point work and reflexology. I am well versed with clients with obscure medical conditions. I am constantly researching medical treatments and trying to find out how I can better help those that continue to see me. I believe that therapeutic bodywork not only helps heal the physical body but also the emotional. Stress of day to day life isn't the only thing that weighs the body down. The vast majority of my clients have experienced loss, hardships, and trauma. Our bodies hold on to that whether we're aware of it or not. In my sessions, I try to create a space that is filled with unconditional care and compassion.
