Debee Boulanger, LMT is the owner and director of the Abundant Wellness Center, has been practicing massage therapy since 1996. She is a graduate of the Muscular Therapy Institute in Boston, Massachusetts. In 2001, Debee became certified in Medical Massage from Connecticut Center for Massage Therapy in affiliation with Hartford Hospital. And in 2005, Debee successfully completed 100 hours of advanced Medical Massage Instruction from Robert Pecora. Debee is continually taking workshops to advance her education in massage therapy. Some of her previous studies include advanced Medical Massage, releasing a frozen shoulder without surgery, and working with and managing chronic pain using various massage techniques.

Early in her career, Debee realized her clients needed access to additional modalities, such as Yoga, Acupuncture or other Holistic Alternative Therapies. With her focus on medical and therapeutic massage, she knew she couldn’t do it all. At that time, the Greater Springfield area was limited in the offerings of other therapeutic modalities. Knowing that it was not realistic to send all of her clients to Northampton, Hartford or even Boston for treatment, Debee with the advice of her business coach Frank Purnell, birthed the idea of a wellness center in Chicopee. In 2004, the Abundant Wellness Center was created with a handful of massage therapist - today there are over 25 practitioners working out of the Center. As Director of the Abundant Wellness Center, Debee takes pride in the qualifications and expertise of fellow associates, therapists, teachers and workshop facilitators working out of the Center.  The Abundant Wellness Center is a mecca of information for wellness seekers, constantly offering an on-going variety of wellness events – often free or at an affordable cost. Caring for the community is extremely important to Debee and the associates of the Abundant Wellness Center.
