Katia
Licensed Massage Therapist and Reiki Master
Born and raised in Bulgaria in a family that strongly believed in alternative therapies as a way to maintaining a balanced and healthy life, I remember, since young age, being interested in Chinese medicine, Tai Chi, Chi Gong, acupressure and acupuncture, energy medicine. Couple of years before coming to live in United States, I took classes in Swedish massage and was looking for a place to learn Shiatsu and Acupuncture.
Searching for a place to learn Shiatsu brought me to New York College of Health Professions where after graduating in 2008, I became licensed massage therapist.
I believe in the body’s ability to heal itself and utilize my expertise to assist in this process. I work to slowly engage with the body to assess what it needs, working to alleviate any tension or pain. Through listening and thoughtful communication, I combine my clinical education in Swedish massage, Trigger Points Therapy, Thai Ball Massage, Hot Stone Therapy, Cupping, Pain Elimination Technique, Sports Massage, Reiki, in order to provide a thorough, soothing, and effective massage.
I am always open to learning, so I can best help my clients wellness needs, and have deep love and passion of what I do.
