Maureen Santucci

Maureen was drawn to holistic healing by way of martial arts, particularly Tai Chi and Kung Fu, which have historically been associated with Tui Na (a type of bodywork), acupuncture, and herbalism. She began pursuing a Masters in Traditional Oriental Medicine, but quickly realized she wanted to learn more bodywork than was part of her curriculum, so began studying massage as well, the better to support her friends at the gym and the dojo. 

After completing her basic massage training in 2001, Maureen went on to cherry-pick classes with teachers that were widely considered to be the best in their particular modality to round out her bodywork education. She has also taken additional training in orthopedic acupuncture and Tui Na, both of which have enabled her to have a better understanding of and approach to working with musculoskeletal issues. 

For more than 20 years, Maureen has focused on therapeutic bodywork, combining the many modalities she works with such as deep tissue, Zen shiatsu, craniosacral therapy, sports massage, and Tui Na, to help her clients both achieve their wellness goals, as well as to excel in their chosen types of activities. She believes that true wellness takes a balanced integration of mind, body, and spirit, and that therapeutic bodywork is an important part of achieving that in today's crazy world.
