My name is Rachel Bonesteel and I am a New York State Licensed Massage Therapist. I am a graduate of the Mildred Elley massage program in 2011 and  I have been an X Ray Technologist for over 20 years specializing in Orthopedics.

I specialize in massage therapy for chronic stress, anxiety disorders, panic disorders, and depression as well as migraine, tension and allergy headaches, upper back and neck pain and tension. I specialize because I have a long history with panic attacks and GAD or generalized anxiety disorder; and a very long history with headaches. 

Because I specialize in massage for anxiety and panic my sessions are slow and relaxing. I don't believe that massage should hurt and be overly painful other than that "good hurt" feeling. I believe in working with the body to assist it in freeing itself from the chronic tension that stress and anxiety causes.

I also enjoy working on clients that can not handle excessive pressure due to a lower pain threshold. I can help with gently easing chronic pain and tension without intense and excessive  pressure.

The desire to help people to relax and heal in a non-judgmental, nurturing and calm setting is the reason I decided to open Intentions.

I am grateful everyday for the chance to help people achieve a higher level of healing and live a better quality of life free from the binds of chronic stress, anxiety, panic and depression.
