kat damiano lmt founder/marketing director, pregnancy & post-natal massage specialist;   over the years, having received many massages, it became apparent that not all sessions were alike. some massages were deeply healing and satisfying, while others seemed to lack any focus or care. i longed to find the ideal therapist, who would take the time and care to not only listen to my list of aches & pains, but would then be intuitively guided by what I truly needed during the massage, assisting my body's natural desire to heal.  Inspired by Ghandi's advice to "be the change you want to see in the world", i have devoted my massage practice to providing just this kind of focused, therapeutic bodywork, and in bringing together & working along-side other like-minded, passionate therapists.   hailing from new zealand's pristine shores, i have a penchant for all things natural and organic. during my own pregnancy, i became astutely aware how many chemicals i had unwittingly been putting into my body through the various lotions, shampoos, deodorants, nail polishes etc. i had been using.  the health & well-being of my daughter motivated me to seek organic alternatives to the substances i was using on my skin, and most especially with massage lotions and oils.  as anything we put on our skin gets directly absorbed into the blood stream, i felt it ethically irresponsible to massage using anything other than organic product - most especially on women during pregnancy. at om organic massage you can feel rest assured that we use nothing but organic products, for the health of you and your family.    i feel very blessed to have my life-work dedicated to helping others to heal. i look forward to reminding - or perhaps introducing you - to how great you can feel... in body, in mind and in spirit. namaste.    massage availability: Wednesday/Thursday/Friday (variable)   kat's testimonials	Kat Damiano LMT
dr. kristy zinnes chiropractor i was born and raised in northern new jersey and received my doctorate from cleveland chiropractic college of los angeles. My strong motivation to become a chiropractor stemmed from a childhood experience with the medical community. at age 12, i contracted lyme’s disease and suffered with complicated migraines, crippling joint pain and severe fatigue. over the next three years i was hospitalized numerous times and vigorously treated to the point where the medication induced seizures.  eventually, the medical community declared me healthy and well and advised I could expect to have some residual complications. modern medicine managed to subdue the disease but still left me with strong symptoms affecting my quality of life. these symptoms included severe daily migraines and muscles spasms in my back. eventually it was a chiropractor who brought me back to full health, and instilled in me the desire to become a doctor. i went on to become a marathon runner, a rock climber and a collegiate golfer, and to this day i actively maintain a healthy life style through the use of chiropractic care.  i have developed the philosophy that chiropractic is not just a series of adjustments or back cracking, it is an adjustment on your entire outlook on life and what truly constitutes being healthy and well.  it is my wish to help you achieve optimal health through the utilization of a well adjusted life style through chiropractic, and to help you back to health as a chiropractor once did for me. availability: Monday; Tuesday; Thursday   dr kristy's testimonials	Dr. Kristy Zinnes, Chiropractor

meg aguilar lmt pregnancy, swedish, & deep tissue specialist   one of the key reasons I was attracted to practicing massage was my keen interest in studies relating to the body and movement. since i was 7, i trained as a figure skater and dancer and i keep an active yoga practice. bodywork is second nature to me.   my intuitive technique is a nurturing, restorative blend of firm swedish, breema and Acupressure, with deep pressure where needed.
