I am a NYS Licensed Massage Therapist, wellness coach, and a professional dancer. Based on my interactions between health care professionals and myself as an athlete, I did not receive the best when it came to bedside manner. From then on, I was determined to land in the healthcare professional field and give to others what was not given to me. My first degree is a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts with a Biology Concentration and a Mathematics Minor from Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. My second degree is a Professional Certificate in Musical Theatre from the American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York. My third degree is an Associate of Occupational Studies in Massage Therapy from Swedish Institute College of Health Sciences in New York. I am a mobile massage therapist, serving NY and NJ. My modalities include Swedish, Shiatsu, Deep Tissue, Sports, Chair, and Pregnancy Massage. I also love to educate clients on how their body works and give a slew of low-cost options for them to enhance not just their physical, but their mental well-being as well.

Rissa’s hands are magical. She knows how to relax each muscle while gently soothing your mind. I will continue to recommend her services.

Rissa is one of the BEST! I’ve had massages all over the world, and her massage was worth every penny, she was the ultimate professional and knew exactly the right pressure to apply to soothe the knots….Run don’t walk to get her scheduled!

Amazing experience
She definitely hit points in my body that I didn’t even know were there that were causing a lot of pain to my body. I felt very energized at first and then very tired and slept like a baby that night. Can’t wait for another

Rissa has a gift! Her energy, knowledge, and passion for her work is such a blessing. The 60 minute massage she gave me was one of the best I've ever had, and the fact that she makes house/hotel calls sets her services over the top.
