Massage Therapists
Joyce Varriale, LMT, Owner
I graduated in 2000 from the Center for Natural Wellness School of Massage Therapy in Albany and am a NY State Licensed Massage Therapist and a member of Associated Massage and Bodywork Professionals.
I have additional training in Hot Stone Massage, Trigger Point Therapy, Cupping, Spa Techniques, Reiki Energy Healing, and Intuitive Development.
Born and raised in Halfmoon, NY, I am proud to be a small business owner offering therapeutic massage in my hometown! I am also a volunteer member of Halfmoon Celebrations, a non-profit organization that provides free, family friendly events in our town.
Jessica Radovic, LMT
A graduate from the Center for Natural Wellness in Albany, I bring a wealth of knowledge of the body and strongly believe in its innate ability to heal itself when in a relaxed state. I am certified in Reiki levels I, II, and III and continue to be a committed member of the American Massage Therapy Association. My calling to this profession came as the result of my own experience, as massage played an important role in my healing process. Massage can help to integrate the body, mind, and spirit, release pain and stress, and promote overall health and relaxation. It would be my privilege to offer you a wide array of modalities including Swedish, Shiatsu, Deep Tissue, Oncology Massage, Myofascial, Polarity, and Reiki. I look forward to working with you as we tailor each session to your specific needs.
Leslie Buhrmaster, BA, LMT
A graduate of Syracuse University and the Center for Natural Wellness in Albany, I am a New York State Licensed Massage Therapist with additional background in education, nutrition, weight management and wellness. My interest in massage developed after a persistent illness, and two very different injuries which were greatly helped by massage. I view massage as both a valuable tool to promote healing, and as a wise investment in health maintenance. Beyond this, I see massage as an important "rite" of self care, helping us to stay grounded and in touch with our bodies and selves in a world of stress and fragmentation. I look forward to meeting you and working with you to meet your overall health and wellness goals.
Deborah Guilfoyle, BA, LMT
I am a proud graduate of the Center for Natural Wellness. Additional training includes Reiki II in the Usui Tradition, Level I Craniosacral Therapy through the Upledger Institute and certification in Energy Chelation Therapy which is a gentle, yet profound method of clearing and balancing energy blockages in the chakra system. I also enjoy practicing and teaching Qigong.
Jonathan Allen, LMT, CH
I graduated in 2010 from the Center for Natural Wellness. As well as being a NYS Licensed Massage Therapist, I'm also a Nationally Certified Hypnotist and have a degree in Social Work. I provide therapeutic services that honor the body, mind, and heart of my clients, customizing each session to their needs. By combining my skills in Hypnosis, Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Neuromuscular Therapy, Medical Massage, Energy Work and my intuitive touch, I work to bring about therapeutic change. I feel that having an intuitive touch, passion, excellent communication skills, a non-judgmental attitude and a caring and professional demeanor are the most important traits for any great therapist.
In my free time, I enjoy going on adventures, traveling, learning, connecting, and creating.
Joanne Neri, LMT
I am a 2014 graduate from the Center for Natural Wellness School of Massage Therapy and licensed and insured in the state of New York. I bring to the table a broad range of modalities including Deep Tissue incorporating Myofascial Release, Swedish, Sports Massage, Cupping, Reflexology, Pregnancy and Hot Stone. I incorporate side-lying when needed into my treatment to achieve a greater release in the neck, shoulder and thoracic region. This particular style is popular during pregnancy, after surgery, as well as anyone suffering from allergies and or asthma. Additional training includes Reiki 1 in the Usui Tradition. Reiki is an ancient laying-on of hands healing technique that uses the life force energy to heal, balancing the subtle energies within our bodies. As a therapeutic practitioner with an intuitive touch, I believe that we don’t heal people. We help people’s bodies remember how to heal themselves.
