What is a knot? I get this question alot.

Whether you work at a desk all day or notice them after exercise we sometimes feel those painful and stiff lumps in our neck and shoulders.
This is a great article breaking it down.

Are muscle knots real? An exercise physiologist explains what they really are — Inverse Researchers are still trying to figure out the exact physiological mechanisms within the muscle that cause this reaction.

Have back pain? These basic stretches are a good start to getting into a quick stretch routine at home. Make sure you hold each stretch for 1 min to get the full effect.

I hope everyone is enjoying the last weeks of summer! Don’t forget to foam roll. 😀

Organizing my aromatherapy oils!
That’s the fun part about getting a massage with me. We do serious work on your issues and you get to smell darn good doing it!
Lavender and eucalyptus are the top contenders. All included in your massage.
Any suggestions? Always looking for new smells.

Please note that I do NOT work with classpass. They are using my business name illegally on their website. I am taking legal action. If you book an appointment through them it will not be honored.

Here we go again…
4th Covid wave is hitting NYC so I’m upping my Covid safety protocols to keep everyone safe! I’ve learned so much the past year and I want everyone to feel comfortable for their massage. I’m boosted with my third vaccine and I will now be double masked with a surgical and KN95 mask at all times. I’m asking YOU to please wear your mask during our session. If you need a mask I will have them available. As always I’m deep cleaning after each session and invested in proper ventilation. Wishing everyone a safe new year!!

Excited to announce I was picked as one of the best massage therapists in NYC by Expertise.com. Grateful for my clients!

Fall is here and it’s time to take care of yourself!
I’m here for you, I want you to feel what it’s like not to struggle with chronic neck and back pain. To feel like you can move again and get connected with your body.
Let’s make a plan that works for YOU!
New clients get $25 off first session!

Good morning NYC! I’m loving my new office photos.
My summer specials are going fast! Book yours now. Only a few spots left.

Is anyone having low back pain?
My all time favorite stretch for your lower back is this hamstring wall stretch. It’s a great passive stretch for low back and hamstrings. Make sure you are at a 90 degree angle and stay in as long as you like. You’ll feel like a million bucks after!
