Jessica Desmarais LMT

***48 Main Street Sturbridge***

Hi, thank you for being here!

My name is Jessica Desmarais, please call me Jess!

I am a licensed massage therapist in Massachusetts and have successfully passed the MBLEX exam ensuring my expertise meets national standards for professional massage and bodywork. I trained at one of the top schools in the country - Bancroft School of Massage Therapy! I gained a strong foundation in comprehensive anatomy, relaxation & therapeutic technique training. I am thrilled to offer a safe, deeply calming and healing space for our local community.

I have a deep-rooted passion for health and wellness.  I earned my degree in Health Education and Business Administration from Worcester State University. I then expanded my knowledge through yoga, completing a 200-hour Hot Power Vinyasa and a 300-hour Kundalini Yoga Alliance certification, currently a certified 500 hour yoga teacher through Yoga Alliance. Previously, I had the privilege of sharing yoga, breath-work and meditation at my former studio, Transform Warm Yoga. Wanting to deepen my ability to support holistic well-being, I transitioned into massage therapy. Now, I couldn't be happier doing this rewarding work- guiding my clients toward deeper relaxation, pain relief and improve overall quality of life!

I enjoy blending evolving techniques and modalities into my work to get you as close as possible to your treatment goals. I offer 60, 90 & 120 minute sessions that are specifically crafted just for you. Please read the service descriptions to see which time option is BEST for YOUR specific needs . 

As a fellow human, mother of three incredible humans, community member and woman-owned business -

I deeply thank you for trusting me with your care!

-Jess
