I was inspired to work in holistic healthcare after receiving bodywork that allowed me to live my life free from debilitating pain and restriction caused by Cerebral Palsy, a disability from birth. In late 2011 I was encouraged by friends and family to pursue a career in massage therapy; I enrolled in school a year and a half later. I made the decision to pursue massage therapy as it is great complimentary treatment option for those seeking holistic healthcare. During my training at the Connecticut Center for Massage Therapy (2013-2015) I studied various approaches to massage therapy however I gravitated towards Myofascial Release as it is a non-invasive service that allows the body to return to a state of balance that is conducive to healing and repair. Since becoming licensed in July of 2015 I’ve continued to acrue over 100 hours of additional professional continuing education in myofascial therapy. It is my passion to help those suffering from chronic pain from injuries to live a life that is full of joy and restored quality of life. I look forward to working with you! 

In my free time I enjoy living outdoors! Growing food, and cooking are great ways to reduce the stress of my life and I encourage everyone to do the same! When I’m not in the office massaging you can find me working in the garage on my car or playing video games!

REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

Nicholas took time to ask questions about my shoulder before our session. He also showed me images of how the shoulder muscles affect the rest of my body/posture, which helps with my ADLs.

This was not a massage. It was a stretch session in uncomfortable positions. He rubbed my stomach (under the sheet), had me in a "frog pose", and my girlfriend saw it and I'm sure Kim, the other masseuse, can validate that I did not get a massage. After the appointment, my girlfriend called to let the management know about the inappropriate behavior and she was told that this is his style. We asked for a couples massage and if his style is stretching then I shouldn't have been scheduled with him. I am not happy about the experience and cried afterwards because I felt violated.

This was the second time booking with Nicholas and I definitely am looking forward to booking more sessions. He is amazing 10 out of 10 would recommend to everyone.

Took time to explain when I asked about different stretches and what I could proactively do to improve my at-home stretching sessions. I prompted that conversation so it's not like he engaged in that way without me asking. Sometimes you want a quiet session and I'm sure if that's what I wanted, it would have gone that way.

Nicholas was amazing! Kind, caring and very knowledgeable about the body and systems to help work out the tension that we carry. He explained everything along the way to help me keep stretching some of my tighter muscle groups at home. Very much looking forward to next time!

Nick has a different approach that really makes you focus on your breathing and helps you to relax.

This was my first massage by Nicholas. He is very professional and attentive to his craft. It was different from any other massage/body healing technique I have ever had. I have chronic pain most my life and I believe with some continued sessions he was the added massage therapist I need to add into my life. I couldn’t appreciate it enough. Can’t wait to have him again.

Nicholas is very empathetic and intuitive. He has a very therapeutic style of massage, you're getting stretching, pressure points, and tension release. It's not just laying there, you're breathing and you're working with him. You feel restored after, it's very healing.

The whole massage was excellent.

From the initial greeting to the end of the massage Nick was warm and friendlg. He is a talented masseuse! The massage felt totally professional and I felt 110% comfortable with him especially because he kept me informed through each stage of the massage. I would certainly recommend him and will be back!
