CLC (Certified Lactation Counselor)

Do you struggle with muscle tension, or pain in your neck, shoulders, or back?
Does an overwhelming sense of anxiety prevent you from feeling relaxed or at ease?
Are you finding it difficult to get the sleep you need?
Are you pregnant or have recently given birth and are adjusting to the changes your body is going through?
Are you seeking a bodywork approach facilitating relaxation?
Regardless of what age or stage you are in life, tension can build up and create acute physical or emotional pain. Through regular massages, you will experience a sensation of feeling more centered, grounded, and realized within yourself over time.

Relax. Reset. Repeat.

A massage session enhances your immune system, helps you get better sleep, and improves your mood by reducing anger and irritability.

Many people integrate massage therapy into a regular health and wellness life plan.

Massage is not simply an indulgence, but holds significant potential as an important component of a healthy lifestyle and wellness lifestyle. When we take time for ourselves and reflect on what our body needs, we will eventually become more tuned into its responses, thereby facilitating a deeper and more harmonious mind-body connection.

Massage and doula work encompass more than just helping someone reach a point of relaxation; they create a sense of safety where a person’s mind and body can release trauma, anxiety, pain or grief.

Give your friends and family the gift of massage!

Meet Shoshana Kravetsky

Shoshana Kravetsky is a doula and certified massage therapist, and a CLC (Certified Lactation Counselor) specializing in pre- and post-natal massage.

She has training from DONA International and is licensed to practice massage in the state of New Jersey and New York.

I take a therapeutic approach to bodywork. As a certified massage therapist and doula, I am prepared to provide physical support during periods of stress or transitions in your life.

One of the reasons I decided to become a massage therapist is because so much of the stress and emotions that are stored in our bodies can be released through bodywork. And one way to help the body release tension is through massage. My services are available to women of all ages seeking physical support and relaxation.

In developing a focus on pre- and post–partum massage, I realized that during the time of birth and/or after is a meaningful and transformative period. Therefore, expecting and new mothers may need physical support during these times. I therefore decided to pursue training to become a doula.

I am invested in providing care to women who are preparing to give birth and/or have recently had a baby.

I am a calm, trustworthy, and motivated individual with strong skills in interpersonal communication and empathetic listening. Throughout our bodywork sessions, you can come to a place of serenity within yourself.

Every session is tailored to meet the needs of each individual.

If you are pregnant or have recently given birth, the services I offer as a doula can help prepare you for your birth and provide support during the transition home with a new baby.

In addition, if you are a woman of any age, seeking a bodyworker to help you manage pain, facilitate relaxation, wellness or any type of bodywork, please feel free to contact me.
