M y name is Bronwyn, and I have been practicing massage professionally since 2013. I believe there’s an inseparable connection between mind, body, and spirit and strive to create harmony between the three. I was living in Kodiak, Alaska and wanted to begin a new career that I could do from home (I have a degenerative eye disease and knew it was only a matter of time before I wouldn’t be able to drive) and found myself researching acupuncture schools. My college degree didn’t meet the anatomy prerequisites needed for acupuncture, but I learned a few of the massage schools did. I figured I could use massage as a side job while in school for acupuncture and get those anatomy classes under my belt. My boys and I moved to my hometown in NJ so I could do a year in massage school and my family could help with them. Starting life over at almost 40 seemed crazy, but I knew it was something my heart wanted.
I remember the exact moment I realized how powerful massage could be. It was during a lesson on myofascial release. I placed my hands on a knot and simply held them there with constant firm pressure until I felt the knot melt away under my palm. It was amazing to feel the tangible change and see the instant relief on my fellow student’s face. I fell in love with massage and how the human touch could have such an impact on that mind-body connection. I wanted to provide that sense of peace and healing to every person I saw. I’ll never forget the time my teacher said, “you know you’re serious when you find yourself touching people you don’t know,[just] because you want to help them.” I knew fairly quickly that I had found my calling the first time I did that.
“You know you’re serious when you find yourself touching people you don’t know,[just] because you want to help them.”
My passion is with acute and chronic pain. I have such a want to heal and work with people who have had trouble finding relief from things like chronic stress, sports injuries, autoimmune diseases, anxiety, and depression. I love working with kids and am excited to see more and more parents bringing their children in regularly to help with sports recovery and stress. Massage has so many benefits: better sleep, lower stress and anxiety, recovery, improved performance and reduced inflammation. Everyone can find some benefit with massage therapy. I love learning new alternative therapies, modalities and researching products, tools, and lifestyles to help bring happiness, health and wellness to the community without the side effects found in modern medicine. I am certified by the Institute for Integrative Nutrition as a health coach. I am also certified in specialties such as: cupping, FMT (fascial movement taping), laser therapy, IASTM, Reiki, Thai massage, and aromatherapy. My love for learning is equally as strong as my passion for healing. My goal is for every client to leave my office knowing they were worked on by a therapist who loves what they do and makes every possible effort to help them find peace, healing, and harmony within themselves.

I cannot rave enough about the massage I received from Bronwyn. As someone who has had multiple massages from other therapists, Bronwyn was by far the best! She hit all the right spots and applied the perfect amount of pressure on me. I still feel like a million dollars after my last one. As a doctor of physical therapy I fully intend on referring all my clients and athletes over to her, knowing that they are in the best of hands.

Bronwyn is by far the most amazing massage therapist. She has a personal interest in each and every person she works on. When she comes to my gym to work on my members I know they are in the best of hands. I wouldn't send them to anyone other than Bronwyn. Her knowledge, caring and understanding of the human system and what makes it work and how to heal it is a gift and I consider myself fortunate to have her talents available to myself and my clients and members.
