Marsea Spiegel
B.S., LMT & certified Holistic Health Practitioner

As a certified fitness trainer, she specializes in core development, strength & flexibility, injury rehabilitation, and nutrition counseling. Her holistic approach to health and well-being comes from a core belief in helping people strengthen their inner peace.

Marsea attended Boston University’s School of Public Communication where she received her Bachelor of Science in Broadcast Journalism. From there she branched into Thai Yoga Bodywork and Sports Massage before receiving advanced training in Reflexology and Orthopedic Massage.

Deb Valenti
LMT & Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapist

Deb graduated Spa Tech Institute in the spring of 2006, with a certification in Therapeutic Massage. While still enrolled in the program, Deb was introduced to Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy (AOBT) at the Barefoot Basics program in New Haven Connecticut and knew right away that this barefoot massage technique would be an invaluable addition to her bodywork practice. Through her work with AOBT Deb has found that deep, energetic touch enables her clients to experience better self awareness, a more balanced “pain free” physical state and enhances their overall quality of life... unlike any massage you've ever had, AOBT will surprise you. Prior to becoming a massage therapist Deb graduated from the University of New Hampshire in 1996 where she completed her AAS degree in Equine Management. When she is not working with massage clients you can find Deb on her horse farm enjoying her many animals.
