Doreen is a fully insured New York State licensed massage therapist.  She specializes in Swedish, deep tissue, shiatsu, body enlightenment, prenatal, Jamu and sports massages and can adapt those disciplines to a table or matted floor.  She takes pride in her craft and she continues to master it by honing her skills and broadening her knowledge of massage techniques.  This year she plans to complete certifications in Thai and Hot Stone massage. 

Doreen believes the key to a successful massage is a thorough assessment followed by thorough body work.  Massage can play an important role in easing pain and helping to achieve a sense of balance and well-being in a person’s life.  Listening with my hands, caring about the outcome of the work, and being totally present, I believe each massage becomes a unique experience dependent on what is happening right then with the client. 

After pursuing a degree in Anthropology the State University of New York in Albany, Doreen returned to New York City and enrolled at both Marymount Manhattan College, where she completed an undergraduate degree in Speech-Language and Hearing Pathology, and also the Swedish Institute, where she completed an Associates Degree of Occupational Arts in Massage Therapy. 

Since then, Doreen and her competent hands have worked their magic at Equinox fitness, Exhale Spa NYC, and Glow Skin Spa. In addition, she has volunteered her massage expertise for New Alternatives for Children, a not-for-profit organization that serves children with medical disabilities and/or chronic illnesses and their families..
