I believe the body is not broken — it adapts. When we listen carefully and work with the tissue rather than against it, change happens more sustainably.

Massage is more than muscle work — it’s communication with the nervous system.

I am a New York State Licensed Massage Therapist and Registered Yoga Teacher specializing in therapeutic bodywork that supports both structural alignment and nervous system regulation. My approach blends science-informed technique with intuitive, client-centered care.

Massage is more than muscle work — it’s communication with the nervous system.

I am a New York State Licensed Massage Therapist and Registered Yoga Teacher specializing in therapeutic bodywork that supports both structural alignment and nervous system regulation. My approach blends science-informed technique with intuitive, client-centered care.

While I am trained in Swedish massage, my work extends into deeper therapeutic applications including:

• Neuromuscular Therapy (trigger & tender point release)
• Myofascial Release
• CranioSacral Therapy (CST Level 1)
• Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques
• Somatic awareness integration
• Reiki (USUI / Holy Fire III Level II)

I work through the lens of fascia — the connective tissue network that influences posture, pain patterns, mobility, and stress response. By addressing fascial tension and supporting the parasympathetic (rest-and-repair) response, sessions often help clients experience:

• Reduced chronic pain
• Improved mobility
• Decreased stress & tension
• Greater body awareness
• A felt sense of calm and steadiness

Every session is customized. Some clients come for monthly relaxation and nervous system reset. Others seek focused therapeutic work for chronic patterns or recovery. Both are welcome here.

My intention is to create a grounded, supportive space where your body can unwind and reorganize naturally — without force.

Stretching for the Table

Stretching the body is often what the body needs to balance, in this continuing education session, I learned how to seamlessly incorporate stretching into a comprehensive massage session that is appropriate and meets the goals that our clients may have for their bodies. We practiced using pin & stretch techniques with an integrated passive stretch sequence and got to experience first hand how stretching can complement a massage session. .

I wouldn’t go to anyone else! She is knowledgeable with new techniques and always has your comfort first.

It was very relaxing. Vickie is very good at her job and very personable. Enjoyed it a lot.

I had prenatal massages a couple other places and nothing compares to Vickie! She made me feel so comfortable and I had significant improvement in my symptoms (muscle pain, calf cramps, headaches). I would 10/10 recommend!!

Vickie is incredibly talented. Not only is she clinically trained and has high level skill, she is a powerful intuitive healer. Her work is medicine. She walked by my side during a longstanding health crisis and was an active part of my treatment plan that set me on my path to wellness.

From the moment I arrived at Vickie's space I felt at ease. She was waiting for me in the reception area. I got a tour through her 2 healing spaces before we entered the YoMassage room. It was cozy, with soft music playing, and set with props for the session. Vickie got me settled comfortably then briefly described what the YoMassage experience would entail. Once we began the YoMassage, Vickie gently guided me through each restorative yoga pose, during which she intuitively offered gentle massage, always attentive to my comfort throughout. I was able to relax deeply and tension quickly began to drain away, as I was invited to simply be - nowhere to go, nothing to do except receive. I highly recommend Vickie as a YoMassage practitioner, and I plan to return for another session next month. I also intend to schedule a Fascia Nervous System Reset with her as well. 5 Star Service!

One of the best massages I've had. Just the right pressure, just enough conversation to ensure that I was comfortable. 10 out of 10 RECOMMEND!!!
by Debi on Apr 03
I just had my third massage, and first 90 minute massage, and I left feeling so relaxed. The massage room and soft music is zen-like and the heated table is awesome. Vickie is very knowledgeable, personable and kind. I recommend her without hesitation. Looking forward to my next massage.

My jaw & neck were tight and I told this to Vickie. She worked this area and the next day I could tell. My neck and face were more relaxed! Thank You Vickie!!
by Stephanie on Mar 26
Vickie is compassionate and listens to you with genuine sincerity. If I could give her a 20-star rating, it wouldn't be enough. Highly recommend.
