Jess grew up in Wellesley, Massachusetts, and received her undergraduate degree in Business and Computer Science from the College of Saint Elizabeth in New Jersey. After over a decade of building a successful, corporate, high tech career, Jess realized that she wanted more joy and fulfillment in her own life, as well as the opportunity to help others find their path to fulfillment. She sought out massage therapy as a way to nurture herself through the process. The effect was subtle, yet profound, and gave Jess insight and focus, and a sense of possibility. It made her a true believer in the benefits of massage. Soon after, Jess embarked on her path to becoming a massage therapist, which has enabled her to share with others its healing and revitalizing power.

Jess is a graduate of The Palmer Institute of Massage and Bodywork in Salem, Massachusetts, where she has returned to teach business skills and advanced massage techniques. The focus of her practice includes Swedish and Deep Tissue massage, Hot Stone and Shiatsu. Jess is a member of Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP) and is nationally certified.

Jess has personally experienced many bodywork modalities, including Rolfing, Shiatsu, Therapeutic Touch, the Alexander Technique, acupuncture and energy healing. She is a student of metaphysics and a lover of the arts.

Working with clients, Jess relies on subtle body cues and careful listening to tailor the massage experience to their unique preferences and needs. She employs a range of techniques from gentle effleurage to intense, deep tissue work. While Jess has a loyal following of clients who have been with her from the beginning, she also welcomes, and particularly enjoys, working with people for whom massage is a new experience. Jess is happiest when her clients leave feeling deeply relaxed and somehow changed with a new sense of possibility.
