Welcome to
The Integrative Approach Massage

I offer an Integrative Massage Therapy session, during which I may combine different techniques to treat each unique individual properly. I draw on various bodywork modalities to create a comprehensive session designed to meet each client’s specific needs. Using deeply relaxing Swedish strokes along with invigorating Yogic stretching, Passive Limb Movement, Acupressure, Trigger Point therapy, Connective Tissue therapy, and Reflexology, among others, I guide my clients on a journey towards greater awareness of their bodies and balance in their lives.

I invite you to discover the benefits of integrative body work. A great massage is an opportunity to exhale deeply, to relax completely and to nurture a healthier lifestyle.

I am also proud to offer Deep Tissue Massage, Myofascial Release, Thai Yoga Massage and Swedish Massage.

Announcement: Starting in May, my new office hours will be as follows:

I will be at the 5th Avenue location on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. (You can book your appointment for the Midtown office using the appointments tabs above).

I will also have some limited times available at my Uptown office, (15 West 120th St) during the week. (To book an appointment uptown, click on "more details" on the left).

I will be serving the Woodstock, NY area on weekends. (Friday - Monday). Call Alex's cell phone at (845)-399-8700 to schedule an appointment in the Woodstock area.

I truly believe that massage therapy is as vital to a healthy mind and body as is exercise and diet. Massage therapy affords you the physical benefit of a more relaxed body and the psychological benefit of a more balanced perspective as you face the demands of your life.

There are so many benefits of massage! Here's a few to consider:
