Dejon Kelly is a licensed massage therapist and a 2015 graduate of the New York College of Health Professions with over 10 years of hands-on experience helping clients move and feel their best. His training includes a wide range of massage modalities, including deep tissue, Swedish, sports, medical, and prenatal massage. Throughout his career, Dejon has recognized that many people have lost the vital connection between the mind and body, particularly in the muscles that move and stabilize the hips and shoulders. This disconnect often contributes to chronic pain, reduced mobility, limited strength, and poor overall function in both the upper and lower body. Dejon specializes in restoring balance, mobility, and wellness by combining deep tissue and sports massage techniques tailored to each client's unique needs. His results-driven approach helps relieve pain, improve range of motion, enhance performance, and support long-term recovery.

"Whether working with athletes striving for peak performance or office professionals dealing with the physical demands of daily life, I am committed to helping every client achieve lasting relief and optimal movement". ~ Dejon

Jessica Lippo desired to be a licensed massage therapist so that she could help people identify with what they are suffering from physically and ultimately help them to heal.  In 2010 Jessica had to pause her career to be a caretaker for her Mom who suffered a traumatic brain injury and had a massive stroke.  During that period, she witnessed how quickly the services for physical and occupational therapy were cut off.  She was able to use her talents to prevent her Mom's muscles from atrophying and allow her body to have increased fluidity.

Her style of massage is one of great relaxation, serenity and has a passion for Reflexology. She believes strongly that it is a targeted pressure-point massage that restores the flow of energy throughout the body .  One patient said, "she forgets where she is when Jessica massages her because she loses track of time and space because she is so relaxed." In today’s crazy world of chaos, errands, endless activities with kids and work take time to care for yourself and bless yourself with 1 hour of peace and tranquility.  Your body and mind will thank you. Jessica graduated from NY College of Health Professions in 2006 with an Associates Degree in Massage Therapy.
