Thank you for choosing me to be your massage therapist. I graduated from NCCC Massage Therapy Program with an AAS in Massage Therapy and an AAS in Individual Studies with a focus on Psychology. I obtained my NYS License and Registration to practice Massage Therapy in 2001. I am also an NCTMB (Nationally Certified in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork) certified practitioner.
While in college I studied Swedish Massage, Oriental Theory, Sports Massage, Reflexology, Pregnancy Massage, Hot Stone Therapy, NMT/Deep Tissue and several other modalities. I am also a certified Infant Massage instructor through Baby's First Massage. I take a medical approach for the most effective treatments I can give my clients.
I'm a proud American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) Professional Member and currently serve as the AMTA-New York Chapter 3rd Vice President, Unit Operations Chair and Website Manager. I also served as the AMTA-NY Secretary. AMTA provides the best and most comprehensive insurance and education information available to massage therapists. They are the industry leaders in advocating for massage therapists and their clients.
I have owned and operated Autumn Brook Massage since 2001 and have also worked at one of the premier spa's in the Adirondacks.
