Services
Swedish Massage
Swedish massage uses long strokes and kneading techniques to relieve muscle tension and improve circulation. Ideal for stress relief and general wellness, this treatment promotes deep relaxation while addressing chronic pain patterns. Our therapists customize pressure levels to suit individual needs.
Myofascial Release
This specialized technique targets connective tissue restrictions causing chronic pain and limited mobility. By applying sustained pressure to fascial restrictions, we restore natural movement patterns and alleviate discomfort from postural imbalances or injuries.
Orthopedic Massage
Designed for injury rehabilitation and structural alignment, orthopedic massage combines multiple techniques to address specific musculoskeletal conditions. We focus on restoring function and balance through targeted treatment of soft tissue dysfunctions and chronic pain patterns.
Aromatherapy
Aromatherapy integrates pure essential oils with massage to enhance physical and emotional well-being. We use customized oil blends to address stress, insomnia, and hormonal imbalances while providing therapeutic benefits through inhalation and skin absorption.
Hot Stone Massage
CoreStones hot stone therapy uses heated soapstone to relax muscle tissue and enhance circulation. The stones' weight and warmth facilitate deep tension release without causing tissue trauma, combining therapeutic benefits with profound relaxation.

I HIGHLY recommend Maggie Gibbons and I am sure that the other therapists are excellent as well. In addition to providing a relaxing massage, she pinpoints problem areas and really assists the healing process. As soon as she starts the session you know that you are in the hands of a higly experienced and knowledgeable professional. She has helped me tremendously!

Carla is a hidden gem. She listens to what ails you, and she is able to find the source of your pain. The building is well kept, clean with beautiful music, the owner Dale really keeps everything updated and sterile. I would highly recommend The Center of Theraputic Massage in New Paltz New York

From the moment you turn into the driveway and park, walking passed the lovely Water garden you know you are in a special place. A lovely waiting area with soft music and beautiful flowers. The massage rooms are roomy and nicely decorated with local art. All 4 of the Licensed Masseuses offer different methods. Insurance claims are accepted as is self pay. The owner is very involved in State and National Massage Therapist Organizations, and encourages continued education for all the Therapists.

This was something that I truly needed at that point. My body was so tight, but when she started the massage it relaxed my body to the point of me falling into a Deep sleep. It was truly amazing and they cared about my well being. I loved the experience
