Janeel Rao Cmt 1

I am a graduate of National Holistic Institute and take great pride in helping those who come to me feel more whole and stress-free. My goal with each massage is to discover and address each individual client’s needs. Focusing my intuition and anatomical knowledge, I release long-held physical tension, resulting in freer movement and better alignment. I encourage my clients to be active participants in their healing process which brings harmony to mind and body through my nurturing, therapeutic touch. My experience of body mechanics, strength, flexibility, and holistic outlook allows them better body functioning as well as more spacious living.

In my free time I enjoy working out, reading, and watching movies with the people I care about.

Client Reviews:

“I have come to MTC on and off for the last few years and have always booked with the amazing Janeel. He is a lovely person with calm and grounded energy that takes his time to really work on areas of concern. I feel relaxed and taken care of every time I get a massage from him and my entire nervous system breaths a sigh of relief. I highly recommend him if you like gentle, soothing, relaxing (but also highly effective) massages.”

“I have been to Massage Therapy Center twice now since it’s recent reopening after the COVID situation and I am impressed with the practices that they have put in place to keep both staff and customers safe and at ease. They have everything posted on their website. My body has been in incredible pain with all the stress and I have been hoping the would open for a very long time. And FINALLY, they’re open. My massages with Janeel were amazing and I’m starting to work through the knots in my back now and I feel that I’m one step closer to living with health and wellness. I’ve been coming here for massages for over 10 years and during that time I’ve never had a bad massage — or even a mediocre massage. Each of the several therapists that I’ve been to have been most excellent. An excellent value for the price.”
