My desire to learn about skin care followed my attempts to find the perfect skin. Through my education, mentors, and my own personal skin transformation. I now know skin care can be a challenge.
Skin care can also be a relaxing, calming, and refreshing experience.

Kathryn Smith
NYS Licensed Massage Therapist
I believe that massage is a great gift and I enjoy helping people relax while becoming more aware of their bodies and teaching self-maintenance skills. I think the human body is amazing and I am driven to find natural ways to help the body heal itself.
I specialize in sports, deep tissue, pregnancy, visceral (belly) massage and TMJ (jaw) specific massage. I would classify the type of massage I do as therapeutic, because I believe a great therapist is able to vary the pressure and utilize a variety of skills to meet the expectations of any client.
I graduated in 2004 with my Bachelors in Sports Medicine, and moved to California. I went to massage school in Santa Barbara and got licensed in 2006. Over the last 10 years I have been working in California. Upon returning home to New York I finished the state required hours at Center for Natural Wellness School of Massage in Albany. In the duration of my career I have worked in spas and homes, on professional athletes and movie stars, as well as many average people.
My Sports Medicine background has given me a great understanding of how the body works and I believe that helps me to address and assist the needs of a client.
From gentle to firm pressure and the in-between, I can do it all.
I am excited for the new place to build my business and more people to help.

Kelsey White
NYS Licensed Massage Therapist
I am a NYS licensed massage therapist and received her training at Mildred Elly College in Albany, NY.
A little about me… I’ve always been interested in the inner workings of human bodies. My favorite subject has always been science. I love a good mix of science and spirituality and I feel like my massage practice reflects that. I like to get the facts first, what do muscles do? How do they move? Why do they hurt? What makes it better? After a little digging and educating I trust my intuition to guide me in whatever direction it takes me to get you to your desired result.
Each session is tailored to YOU.
