Alyssa Bellarosa

Licensed Massage Therapist

I started my “professional career” as an Occupational Therapy Assistant in 2010. Soon after I became a Reiki Master in hopes of expanding my resume. In April 2013, I took my first Bars class and life hasn’t been the same since! Never did I think that a simple hands on progress could be SO profound…

Since Access, I’ve been more and more aware and more in the question. As I give and receive The Bars on a regular basis, I find I have way more clarity and creativity. I’ve also noticed a greater sense of ease with myself; meaning I’m not judging myself constantly anymore.

Abuse, Addiction, Anxiety, Bipolar, Depression, ADD/ADHD, TBI, Autism, Dementia, Weight Loss – These terms should not define you. Who would you be if you were truly BEING you? I have clinical experience with pediatrics, geriatrics and everything in between.

MASSAGE THERAPY

Massage is a therapeutic process for manipulating superficial muscles, deep muscle layers and connective tissues using various techniques that accomplish:

  • Enhanced Function
  • Aid in the healing process
  • Promotion of relaxation and well being

Massage involves working and acting on the body with pressure and is done manually. Targeted tissues may include:

  • Muscles
  • Tendons
  • Ligaments
  • Fascia
  • Scar Tissue
  • Joints
  • Lymphatic Vessels
  • Connective Tissues
  • Organs of Gastrointestinal System

In our professional setting, Massage involves the client being treated while lying on a massage table, clothed or unclothed, or sitting in a massage chair. Throughout the session, the client is properly draped and covered; only the area being working on is exposed to the therapist.
