Being stressed and overwhelmed can make you feel unfocused and unproductive. What I do is help clients like you, manage stress, and restore balance through massage therapy. I am Erskine Melville known as “E” to some and “EM” to many. I am an integrative, licensed massage therapist in the New York City area.

As a legally blind massage therapist, I provide personalized treatments through my visceral touch therapy that helps you once again feel focused, and productive – ready to take on the tasks for the day. I am conveniently located in Union Square East – Park South Plaza.

Before I delve into some of the benefits of regular massage therapy, it’s important to be aware that although you may have the same underlying issues as others – like “Stress”, your issues are unique to you, and it is important to be mindful and patient with yourself, as some massage modalities may trigger unwanted emotional releases. By simply letting go and honoring the healing process, you will quickly see and feel the results. So, take whatever time you need to discover the right massage therapist, modality, and treatment plan that works best for your specific need.
