I've been a massage therapist since 1993 when I graduated from Twin Lakes College of Healing Arts in Santa Cruz, California and began my private practice there. Since then, I've worked to restore and support the optimal health and well-being of clients from the San Francisco Bay Area to Martha's Vineyard, to the Berkshires, to Brooklyn! With the passing years and much continued study (I graduated from Finger Lakes School of Massage in 2009), I've refined and deepened my approach, which features strong deep tissue work combined with gentle and powerful energetic balancing. I've studied with master teachers on both coasts, and utilize techniques from many modalities, including Swedish, sports, deep tissue, trigger point, Jin Shin Do Acupressure, John Barnes Myofacial Release, reflexology, Polarity Work and Reiki (level III), to create sessions for clients that support deep relaxation and freedom in the body.
During the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, massage in New York was on hold. Now that Brooklyn is open for massage again, with appropriate precautions, sessions with me will be available at the studio where I have been based in the past few years, Opal Massage, on the corner of Lincoln Place and 8th Avenue in Park Slope. Information on that studio is below.
I currently have very limited availability for inhome massage appointments. If you are looking for an inhome session, you can check in with me at my massage email: hridayam.massage@gmail.com.
Private Rates:
In-home 60-minute massage: $150
