Hello I am Jamila Gonzalez owner of Release Bodywork & Spa. I graduated from the Onondaga School of Therapeutic Massage in Rochester, NY in December of 2011. After completing the 1000 hour program (New York State’s program is one the toughest in the country, as not all states regulate massage) I became licensed and have been practicing since! As a working mother of two young children I know too well the value of "me time" and understand the challenges that accompany taking time for yourself . T he pressures of juggling various work and family commitments can take its toll on our bodies. Most of the time we have to reach a breaking point before we listen to what our emotions and our bodies are telling us. I wanted to promote a culture of well being and serenity by providing a service that offers easy access to luxury therapeutic massage, and spa treatments straight to their homes, hotels and corporate offices. So I decided to create a company which would bring the best of both worlds together; a blend of therapeutic bodywork and spa-like ambiance delivered to you in the comfort of your own home or location of your choosing. By accommodating the needs of busy professionals, stay at home mothers, or those who do not have time to go to a traditional spa, I can increase the awareness of the benefits of massage therapy. My mission is to provide the highest quality massage and spa services to you on location and on demand using only the finest organic products. My technique includes using relaxing strokes,deep tissue therapy, trigger point therapy, and muscular stretching in order to treat the person as a whole and bring the body into balance. I believe t o live an enjoyable balanced life, you have to switch it up.Some days, this means being active and eating healthy. Other days, this means having a piece of chocolate cake and watching the Lifetime Movie Network. Massage therapy is more than just a job...it's my passion and I look forward to sharing it with you.
