Meet Massage Therapist, Katia Mintcheva
Born and raised in Bulgaria in a health-oriented family, I have always been interested in alternative therapies as a way to maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle. I remember from a young age being interested in Chinese medicine, Tai Chi, Chi Gong, energy healing, acupressure and acupuncture.
I learned about Reiki and met the first Reiki Master in Bulgaria. Shortly after, my family and I moved to the United States. Following my interests, led me to Loving Touch Center - the first Reiki school in Long Island. It took me 3 years, and in 2003 I got certified as a Reiki Master Practitioner/Teacher.
Searching for a place to learn Shiatsu, brought me to New York College of Health Professions where I completed the 1,000 hours Massage Therapy Program and graduated in 2008 as a licensed Massage Therapist.
During the many years of practicing as a massage therapist, I have worked in different places ranging from a chiropractic office to health centers to spas. My passion for massage therapy and my natural curiosity led me to taking many classes in Trigger Point Therapy, Deep Tissue, Hot Stone Therapy, Cupping, Thai Ball Massage, Pain Elimination Technique, and Sport Massage.
Through listening and thoughtful communication, I combine my clinical education in all these modalities, in order to provide a thorough, soothing, and effective massage. I am always open to learning, so I can best help my clients wellness needs, and have deep love and passion for what I do. My work can benefit elderly, athletes, chronic pain and migraine sufferers, and anyone seeking overall wellness of being.
“Katia, thank you for another fabulous massage. The long-held tension in my muscles melted away thanks to your magic hands and the calming environment. I’m already looking forward to my next appointment!”
“Mrs. Katia Mintcheva is my Massage Therapist with whom I schedule appointments on a regular monthly basis. I have enjoyed her professional talent and service for more than seven years. She is an accessible, caring, kind and delightful personality, highly skilled, who readily shares her considerable knowledge with her clients. Therefore, I highly recommend her services.
