Empowering women through self-care and wellness
Holistic Healing in Schenectady, NY
I provide holistic therapeutic massage, facials, reiki and lymphatic drainage for women navigating chronic stress, burnout, and the physical and emotional effects of hormonal transitions such as perimenopause and menopause.
Therapeutic Massage
A unique combination of energy healing, Swedish massage, myofascial techniques and intuition create a deeply customized and relaxing experience while releasing pain and tension in the body.
Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a very gentle yet powerful technique developed to move lymphatic fluid and assist in stress reduction.
Holistic Facial
Great for all skin types, this treatment helps you feel restored and deeply relaxed while increasing circulation and lymphatic flow.
Many of my clients are balancing demanding careers, caregiving responsibilities, PTSD, anxiety and or depression and the ongoing mental load of daily life. Over time this can show up in the body as tension, fatigue, headaches, poor sleep and a constant sense of overwhelm.
My work is designed to support your nervous system, release chronic muscular tension, and help your body shift out of a prolonged stress response.
Each session is tailored to how you feel that day-whether you need deeper therapeutic work or a slower, calming session focused on nervous system regulation and rest.
You don’t have to push through it alone. Your body deserves recovery.
The Autumn Glow Facial
60 Minutes, $125A deeply nourishing facial designed to help you slow down, soften, and settle into the season.
This October and November:
Your skin is treated to a decadent Enzymatic Pumpkin Fig honey mask by Wilder North Botanicals. A rich, enzyme-active honey mask blended with dried pumpkin and fig for a seasonal treatment that helps refine the look of dull, uneven texture. Treat your senses with the smell of sweet honey with light pumpkin and vanilla. This mask is harvested from Vermont’s solar meadows, sweetened by the last of the season’s pumpkin and fig.
Warming ginger infused massage balm is massaged into the neck, shoulders, hands and feet while being wrapped in the comforting weight of a weighted blanket. You’ll be invited to let go of the outside world while gentle face massage and soothing touch brings you into a state of calm.
"Jackie is a healer. I've experienced her healing reiki treatments several times. Most recently I had to have a spinal tap. Following that were headaches. After Jackie's treatment, they were gone,"
"Jackie is empathetic, a wonderful listener, and very willing to adjust her approach to my changing needs. The studio at Inner Bliss in the beautifully restored historic Stockade Inn building, where our massage sessions take place, is a lovely haven from the cares of the world, airy with high ceilings and full of natural light. Relaxing music, delightful aromas, and a wondrous warm bio-mat complement the luxuriously restorative experience"
"I recently was blessed by a beautiful and healing massage with Jackie. Her attention to my body’s needs were so intuitive. The setting was peaceful and allowed for an escape from the everyday stressors that we all have. When I arrived she greeted me with her warmth and smile. I thoroughly enjoyed her knowledge and have already scheduled my next appointment. I’m looking forward to more self care at Thrive. I can’t think of a better way to start 2024!"
"Jackie's touch was a flowing dance of gentleness and strength, refreshing and especially relaxing. Her careful selection of skincare products gave me a healthy glow not easy to find in February!"
"After my massage I feel like a new woman. So relaxed and calm. Jackie will be seeing a lot of me down the road."
"Awesome facials and massages in a truly relaxed environment!"
"I've known Jackie for some time. She always gives her best!"
"Jackie magically materialized at a very challenging point in my life last winter, when I was suffering from excruciating muscle pain, compounded by stress from caregiving for a medically fragile relative, and sky-high blood pressure. My first few sessions with Jackie were a lifeline as her strong and capable yet gentle hands offered me desperately-needed relief and precious hope."
"Before becoming a client of Jackie’s, I had only gotten massages as a treat on vacation. I was nervous to go to a local place but I’m so glad I did! Jackie made me feel so comfortable right away and she provides more than just a massage, it’s really a whole experience! She is great and I recommend seeing her!"
"I recently had my first lymphatic drainage with Jackie and it was wonderful! I quickly felt the positive effects, lessening my pain and stiffness caused by my osteoarthritic knees. I am going to add the lymphatic drainage treatment as a regular in my wellness journey."
