Gwendolyn Guarino, LMT
|
Gwendolyn is a New York State Licensed Massage Therapist practicing full-time since 2004. She lives in Grafton, NY and teaches her Couples Massage Workshop nationwide. She is originally from the Adirondack Mountains and after having lived in several states, chose to train in Albany, NY at the Center for Natural Wellness School of Massage Therapy because New York has the most rigorous requirements for licensure in the country. She also earned a BA from Wesleyan University where she incorporated the study of psychology with that of alternative health concepts. Massage is her chosen profession because she believes it has immense benefits for our bodies and our minds and because she truly enjoys the practice. Her ideal client shares her respect and fascination for the human body and sees her as a partner in their journey of good health.

Becky Kendall, LMT
Chelsea Broughton, LMT
|
Becky is a graduate of both the Center for Natural Wellness and the Culinary Institute of America. She divides her time between baking cakes for weddings and special events and serving up quality Swedish, Deep Tissue and Pregnancy massage therapy here at Lux.
She lives her life with a goal of bringing many elements into balance, like a fine souffle! Her inspiration in offering massage is to create a unique space for each client. This is your time to relax, she says, take a deep breath and focus on just one thing, yourself! Chelsea believes in truly holistic health care. Proper nutrition, preventative medicine, natural living and fitness all play into her concept of a good life. She has a bachelor of science in nutrition from Russell Sage and is a graduate of the Center of Natural Wellness. Her compassionate nature shines in all she does and her love of animals, especially her cats Clyde and Luna, can be felt in every massage she gives. Her goal is to help people find peace and calm even in the midst of their sometimes hectic lives. |

Rebecca Whitehead, LMT
|
Rebecca is also a 2004 graduate of the Center For Natural Wellness School of Massage Therapy. She and Gwendolyn have been friends and colleagues ever since and she is thrilled to be part of Lux! She loves giving massage because it gives people a chance to be present and reminds them to come back into their bodies and breathe. Massage activates the "rest and relax" part of our nervous systems and when this happens, harmful stress hormones such as cortisol are reabsorbed and our bodies have a chance to take care of the business of repairing itself in whatever way we need. She currently resides in a renovated barn in beautiful Washington County, NY, where she enjoys gardening, reading, and spending time with her supportive fiancé and their delightful teenaged daughters, Una and Maya. |
