Center Yourself

I became a massage therapist to help my daughter who was born 12 weeks early and has Cerebral Palsy.  After graduating in 2004 from Spa Tech Institute, I opened Pomfret Center Spa and continued to take classes with the Upledger Institute, learning CranioSacral, Lymph Drainage Therapy, Heart Centered Therapy, and Brain.   I became Certified in 2021 as a CranioSacral Therapist. I'm also Certified in Reflexology with the International Institute.  I love helping people feel better everyday!

REVIEWS for my Bodywork, Wellness, or Reflexology services

by Melissa on Dec 12
She listened and my treatment was beyond my expectations. Seeing Dee Dee will be a part of my self care program moving forward. I am thrilled at the difference in how I feel.

She is the REAL thing! Great.

My husband and best friend have sought Dee Dee’s skills and amazing results. I was a bit more skeptical but went in a bit reluctantly. After an hour of physical and surprising mental treatment I felt so different- today I am even better. I will be booking an appointment every month.
by Bill on Jul 12
After each session I feel fantastic. The best part is the persistent pain I was feeling for over 4 months is gone! I’m so pleased I found Dee Dee. Highly recommended.

Dee Dee Markes is remarkable in targeting the problem areas that were causing me to have restrictive body movement and issues underlying symptoms of migraines and vertigo for several months. I highly recommend her expertise and therapeutic services.

I would definitely tell a friend. I’m not sure what magic Dee Dee does, but it’s brilliant. My neck was very stressed and when I floated away from Dee Dee’s treatment, my neck was magically fluid and free.

Fantastic first session with Dee Dee - she has great intuition and "listens" well to what the body needs, and her hands move from place to place to help provide gentle release and connection. I booked a craniosacral session, and loved that she also used her lymphatic and reflexology a little when it was appropriate. Will definitely return, and have shared her info with others. She provides a unique skill set here in the Valley, such beneficial work she's doing!
