"Massage is a science and an art; founded in medical knowledge and honed through experience and intuition." -Jenifer Krist, LMT

After graduating high school I went to RIT/NTID to study American Sign Language interpreting. Even though I loved ASL and Deaf culture, I decided that the interpreting program wasn't for me.

After graduating high school I went to RIT/NTID to study American Sign Language interpreting. Even though I loved ASL and Deaf culture, I decided that the interpreting program wasn't for me. While attending RIT, I took a health/wellness class in massage therapy. It really interested me, and the more I researched it, the more fascinated I was by massage. I decided to attend the Onondaga School of Therapeutic Massage in Rochester. It was one of the most challenging and enjoyable experiences of my life. I had finally found something that I was passionate about. I completed the intensive 6-month program and graduated as salutatorian in December, 2009. I took my massage therapy boards at the end of January, and received my massage therapy license in March, 2010.

I began working shortly thereafter, and I've never stopped learning.  Having the opportunity to work on several no fault insurance cases, I was able to really develop my medical massage therapy techniques. My favorite continuing education class so far has been Ashiatsu Deep Feet Bar Therapy.  I received my certification in April, 2018. I went back to school and became a licensed esthetician in February 2022 in order to perform skincare services and provide the full spa experience. 

Massage therapy and esthetics is a very fulfilling and rewarding career. My goal is to provide personalized massage and skincare services in a safe, comfortable, relaxed environment in order to relieve stress, aches and pains, and maintain a happy, healthy, and connected mind and body.

Jenifer is absolutely the BEST massage therapist in Rochester! I have been going for years and I would not switch to another ever! Her skill is top notch plus she is super friendly and really cares about her clients health, her studio is clean and welcoming, the ambiance is calm and relaxing-overall I recommend her to all.
