Licensed Massage Therapist

Hello!  My name is Ichika and I've been a massage therapist since 2010.  This work has been so very rewarding for me.  I've had clients tell me that they get so much relief from the massage and it makes me so happy that they feel better.  I love helping people.  I do both relaxing Swedish massage, as well as deep tissue and clinical massage.  I also do prenatal and hot stone massage.  I recently moved here from New Jersey and have worked at many high-end spas in New York and New Jersey.

Certified Holistic Self Care Coach

Hi! I am Suzi and I am a Certified Holistic Self Care Coach. I have been interested in health and wellness since day 1 and it has always been a passion of mine. I was lucky enough to have parents that were interested in health and fitness when it really wasn't the cool thing to do! I remember visiting health food stores as a kid and I ran my first 2 mile race at age 7. I have been a collegiate athlete, personal fitness trainer, Insanity bootcamp instructor, yoga teacher, raw vegan chef and teacher, and more. My son is a childhood cancer survivor and that gave me an extensive nutrition, superfoods and immune building background. I can help you set goals for yourself and figure out what kinds of daily habits you need to add in to reach your goals. It is my passion to see people become the healthiest version of themselves both body and mind.
