Joyce Varriale, LMT

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.

Whether you are in need of relaxation, injury recovery or dealing with a chronic condition, my typical Swedish or Deep Tissue Massage session often incorporates several healing modalities to effectively bring about a healthy change.  I have additional training in Hot Stone Massage, Myofascial Release, 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 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. 

I graduated in 2004 from the Center for Natural Wellness School of Massage Therapy. My goal is to create long term, positive changes in the body by combining both Eastern and Western bodywork techniques. 

I have advanced training in Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy, Thai Hot Poultice, Deep Tissue, Cupping, Clinical Orthopedic Manual Therapy for the neck and thoracic spine, Hot Stone and pre/post natal massage.  I  love working with clients to alleviate pain and bring relief to issues of chronic discomfort, specializing in the neck, shoulders and back.  I have 16 years of experience in both clinical and spa settings.

When I am not at work, I enjoy the outdoors, cooking, music and travel.

I graduated in 2015 from the Center for Natural Wellness School of Massage Therapy.  In addition to being a Licensed Massage Therapist, I am also a yoga practitioner, meditator, and passionate about natural and ancient healing modalities. 

In addition to Swedish and Deep Tissue Massage, I have training in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and Reiki Energy Healing.  I also have training in Cupping Therapy, which I find extremely effective for removing “knots” in the muscle tissue, as well as relieving chronic stress and tension.

Through my own personal journey towards health I learned just how incredible the body is at healing, especially when we help support and nourish its natural intelligence towards health.  

In my free time I enjoy cooking, spending time in nature, traveling to spiritual and healing places, and practicing metaphysical teachings.

I began my massage career in 2013, after graduating from The Center for Natural Wellness School of Massage Therapy.  I have additional training in Shiatsu, DeepFeet Bar Therapy (Ashiatsu) and Craniosacral Therapy through The Upledger Institute.

In accordance with Eastern medicine philosophy, my focus is the whole body approach.  Each massage is carefully planned to support your needs and concerns.  I will integrate various modalities to reach session goals.  Swedish, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point techniques, aromatherapy, and myofascial stretches are among the methods used to provide a therapeutic, genuinely relaxing massage.

Working more than 20 years in the education field, I love to share my knowledge of pain relief ideas and recommend stretches to support our session goals.

A graduate from The Center of Natural Wellness School of Massage, I am licensed in the state of New York to perform therapeutic massage. I am certified in Swedish/Deep Tissue Massage, Shiatsu, and Manual Lymphatic Drainage (including post surgery treatment).

I use multiple modalities to customize each massage for my clients. Different modalities that I use are Hot Stone, Cupping, Myofascial Release, Trigger point Therapy, and

more. My passion lies in helping others reach their wellness goals. From reducing stress to

recovering from surgery, I am here to help. I have found integrating both Eastern and Western

modalities to be very beneficial to my clients. Each body/person is different and I am here to

find what works for you.

Coming Soon!

I am a graduate from a 1,020 hour program at the Center for Natural Wellness School of Massage Therapy and soon to be a NYS Licensed Massage Therapist.  I am certified in Swedish/Deep Tissue Massage and Shiatsu.

I'm passionate about helping people feel their best and reach their wellness goals.  I have always been interested in traditional healing practices and understanding how the body works.  I enjoy helping people relax, feel relief, and achieve better overall health.  I incorporate multiple modalities such as classic Swedish Massage, Myofascial Release and Neuromuscular Therapy.

In addition to practicing massage therapy, I enjoy oil painting, baking and gardening.
