A graduate from the Center for Natural Wellness in Albany, I bring a wealth of knowledge of the body and strongly believe in its innate ability to heal itself when in a relaxed state. My calling to this profession came as the result of my personal experience, as massage played an important role in my own healing and journey back to balance.
It has become my lifelong passion to take what I have learned and integrate it into my massage practice as a way to help others find their own sense of peace and relaxation in their bodies. I've learned first hand that massage can help to integrate the body, mind, and spirit, release pain and stress, and promote overall health and relaxation.

Massage therapy is a hands on approach to healing. Its healing effects help to stimulate many of the body's major vital systems to return to their optimal state through deep relaxation. Massage stimulates healing through mechanoreceptors (a kind of sensory receptor), which respond to warmth, pressure, and touch as relaxation mechanisms.
Swedish massage is a gentle form of massage that uses long strokes, kneading, deep circular movements, vibration and tapping to help relieve the body of stress. Its healing effects promote a sense of deep relaxing while also energizing the body. Swedish massage is used with light to moderate pressure.
Similar to Swedish Massage. Therapeutic Massage offers a more specific intention focusing on particular complaints that can sometimes reside in the deeper layers of muscles and fascia (a thin, membrane-like fibrous sheath that encloses and connects muscles) in the body. Therapeutic massage can reduce chronic pain by increasing the flow of blood through the body, which reduces the inflammation that causes pain.
Oncology massage is a very specialized form of massage. It takes a highly skilled therapist who has gone through extensive, advanced training in this area to deliver a safe and effective individual massage, tailored for a person with cancer or a person who has survived cancer. Overall, regular, Swedish massage offers the right conditions through relaxation for the body's natural healing mechanisms to kick in.

I would highly recommend for anyone looking to address specific areas. I have suffered from pain due to scoliosis surgery I had as a teen. Jessica thoroughly listened to my concerns and I am amazed at how much relief I have after just my first visit. I plan to continue and am feeling so optimistic.

This was my first time receiving an oncology massage. Jessica went over my Heath history with me, why this massage will be different than Swedish massages I’ve gotten, what to expect during the massage and made me feel at ease. The massage was wonderful and I can’t wait to book another appointment.

This massage was wonderful! I’m a beginner and didn’t know what to expect and Jessica put me at ease right away. She is compassionate and intuitive while also being professional and informative. In her warm and welcoming atmosphere the world fades away as the healing begins.

I am so grateful for getting a massage by Jessica. I was dealing with significant lower back pain all along my sacrum and Jessica was very helpful in attending to this sensitive and inflamed area that was causing me a lot of pain at the time by using mayo fascia release massage that really helped me feel better today. I’m 55% better than I was yesterday when I got the massage thanks to Jessica. Love her massage studio it is spacious, has beautiful mood lighting, and was a nice temperature. I also really enjoyed the reiki and energy work as well!

Jessica is fantastic! Super easy to schedule through text or online. Responds quickly. The atmosphere of her business is very relaxing, lighting, music, etc. Jessica keeps everything clean and makes sure you are comfortable during the anxieties of COVID-19. The massage itself is always excellent and she prioritizes whatever concerns I have. Gift cards for her services make great gifts!
