Upon graduation from nursing school, I worked in geriatrics for many years before making a change to work in dialysis caring for patients with end stage renal disease.

I am a 2016 Graduate of The Center For Natural Wellness School Of Massage Therapy in Albany, NY and a 2002 graduate of the Herkimer County School of Practical Nursing. Upon graduation from nursing school, I worked in geriatrics for many years before making a change to work in dialysis caring for patients with end stage renal disease. When I decided to further my education to become a Licensed Massage Therapist, I wanted to do so because I still wanted to help people, but in a different capacity and it was the best decision I ever made. I love being an LMT! I have a very successful home practice but I have also worked as an independent contractor in the day spa setting. I also had the pleasure of being the team massage therapist for The Albany Devils hockey team for their 2016/2017 season before unfortunately, they were relocated to Binghamton. I have a thriving interest in helping people reach their health and healing goals. I believe that every aspect of a person: body, mind and spirit can benefit from massage therapy. My mission as a Licensed Massage Therapist is to treat each individual according to their specific needs. Each session is customized to meet those needs by integrating various modalities of massage such as: Swedish massage, deep tissue, myofascial release and neuromuscular therapy into each session. I am committed to providing therapeutic massage and bodywork for the enhancement of health and well-being to health-minded individuals. The success of The Therapeutic Zone is built on trust, expertise, professionalism, and a personal touch that always puts the satisfaction and needs of my clients first.
One of the best masseuses ever! She is just amazing.
I was able to talk about the areas most in pain and Colleen focused on those areas and provide absolute relief and im looking forward to my next session!
☺️
Always professional, always relaxing, such a great “me time” experience.
Careful and thorough attention to areas of my body which have been hurting for weeks. After the massage the pain lessened considerably.
I love the fact that you use lotion rather than oil. No greasy stains on my clothing and it smelled so nice! I was so relaxed when you finished. I will be telling everyone to try you out.
Very satisfied! Had a great massage and I cant wait to go again. Thank you
Best massage I’ve ever gotten. 2 thumbs up👍🏻👍🏻
This was my first appointment with Colleen. I was a little nervous due to Covid but she was extremely professional! My mind was at ease and I was able to relax. She went above and beyond focusing on the areas I pointed out and I left feeling relaxed and pain free. I will definitely be back!!
Colleen listens to my needs and always focuses directly on my pain points for a true therapeutic massage every time!

Great appointment today. I have benefitted greatly from deep tissue massage and stretching techniques working with Colleen. Her work has helped with recovery and pain mitigation as I have trained and dropped 50lbs over the last 18 months. Her skill has helped me recover quickly, and improve beyond what I thought possible @ age 49.
As an African American male I was dismayed to see the disparaging reviewer accusing Colleen of racism against African Americans and making some insulting claims In that vein. As a client of hers for many years I will say, nothing that individual said could be remotely true.
Truly sad for a good person to be disparaged in that fashion.
I am looking forward to my next appointment, back to the gym tomorrow.

As a person of color most times I can sense 'masked' discomfort, which in spite of the person's skill or experience does not encourage me to return.

I like everything, The ambience is fine and would never be a deterent nor the reason to come. I have been in massage settings that were more elaborate and beautiful but what is most important to me, the therapist and the massage itself, are excellent in Valatie, NY! Colleen is wonderful. And, by the way, the ambience is warm, welcoming, comfortable, clean, organized and peaceful. all the things that are really needed during a massage. The rest is just dressing.

Colleen massaged me through a recent pregnancy that would have been unbearable without her. I suffered from intense sciatica which she was able to relieve. She listens to feedback and adjusts her technique to focus on where you are experiencing pain. I'm still seeing her after the pregnancy. I highly recommend her!

Colleen notices and pays attention to trouble spots (knots in muscles) and she works them out. I always feel much better after I have had a massage! I had one yesterday and noticed that this morning I didn't hurt all over my body. I am a little sore but the pain (with the exception of a couple of small injury related areas) is gone. I went out and took a long walk.

Colleen is an exceptional therapist. Over the last several months she has helped to alleviate my chronic shoulder and lower back issues. She has proven to me how a quality LMT can help to improve your overall quality of life.
