about me
You may pronounce my name: sah-KEE-nuh, and my pronouns are she/her.
With over 2000 hours of training and experience, I've been a licensed massage therapist in New York since 2007, dedicated to providing personalized sessions to offer you the relief you seek. I take great pride in my work and aim to bring that sense of joy and focus to every session within a professional and calming environment.
My expertise lies in reducing joint pain and muscle tension caused by postural habits, overuse syndromes, and emotional stress, offering a range of modalities including myofascial, Swedish, and prenatal massage for a tailored experience.
Beyond my practice, I am a devoted mother, Star Trek fan, maker of empanadas, and a passionate advocate for racial equity in our community, and in my profession.
