Nicole Splenda RN, LMBT and Kim Calandra L.AC

Massage is a wonderful way to ease discomforts of pregnancy. It has been used for centuries to improve overall health, reduce stress, and relieve muscle tension. Studies indicate that massage therapy performed during pregnancy can reduce anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, and improve labor outcomes and newborn health. Nicole specializes in Pre- and Postnatal massage, Aromatherapy, Reflexology and Labor Stimulation Massage.  And although she loves to work on pregnant women, she is happy to work on non-pregnant family members too.
