Rochele Jones
“I want to tell you that Rochele is excellent. I really value someone who can into the deep knots on my quads, hamstrings, etc. She is able to get at those adhesions that I can’t remove even if I stretch for hours! Even though I was tight before I saw Rochele, today I ran and felt great.” - Liz W.
“Now that I’ve had a few sessions with Rochele, I can tell you that she’s amazing! She does a great job of listening to what your needs are and making the massage fit those needs. She’s especially good at getting those tricky knots in your back that you never even knew existed.” - Tony Z
Rochele decided to pursue a career in massage therapy after graduating from the University of Hartford with a BS in Psychology, During one of her classes, she researched studies on the effects of massage on premature infants. She was amazed to find out that massage helped premature infants gain weight and grow faster than infants who didn’t receive massage. She decided she wanted to use the power of a healing touch to make a difference in people’s lives.
After graduating from the Galen Institute of Massage Therapy in Whethersfield, CT in 2002, she focused primarily on Deep Tissue and Relaxation Massage. During this time she provided massage to many collegiate and professional athletes, actors, and musicians. Then, returning to the initial spark of her interest, Rochele became certified in prenatal massage and infant massage. She believes even children can benefit greatly from massage, and advocates its introduction at a young age. Learning about massage can also be a great bonding tool for families!
Rochele feels that it is important to treat her clients based on how they feel on that particular day, both body AND mind.
