Licensed Massage therapists
Jane S. Gray LMT
I worked as a licensed Radiologic Technologist (xray tech) mostly in a hospital setting, for 27 years. I worked in various modalities in that field, including Cat Scan and Supervisor of Diagnostic Radiology. My first bodywork course was in
Foot Reflexology in 1980. I am currently working as a licensed massage therapist having graduated from the Onondaga School of Massage in Syracuse in 1998. I am a member of the AMTA (American Massage Therapy Association) and have National Certification in massage.
I opened Healing Path Massage at its current location in April 2001. We expanded in June 2003 and I currently rent space to 8 other Massage therapists and 2 Chiropractors. I wanted to be able to offer a variety of Healing Modalities from Practitioners using their unique expertise. We have a great group working here helping our community.
My massage today consists of various methods I've learned over the years including Orthopedic Massage, Trigger Point Therapy, Shiatsu and Positional Release Therapy. I usually don't do a complete session of any of these, just incorporate them into a Swedish massage session.
My main alternate to Swedish massage is Foot Reflexology. I have taught Reflexology to various groups and at both area massage schools. I frequently do Reflexology sessions with clients. I often loosen up the feet and work some reflex points during my regular massage sessions.
I strive to tailor a session to meet each clients needs. I enjoy helping people ease their pain and stiffness, or just relax and get back in touch with their bodies. Everyone has a different reason for getting a massage and hopefully I or we can accomodate your needs.

Jeanne M. Kitt LMT
Jeanne is a graduate of the Onondaga Shool of Therapeutic Massage. She opened her practice in 1999.
"I believe in the power of God and the human spirit to heal the physical body. Most of our ills come from spiritual and emotional stresses that accumulate in our bodies. I look at my role as not just a manipulator of muscle tissue, but a facilitator for a greater healing. When the mind is relaxed, the body is better able to heal itself. I pay attention to the person as a whole, addressing more than just the physical symptoms. Through muscle manipulation, aromatherapy, and energy balancing techniques, all areas of the client's being are relaxed; the physical, mental, spiritual and emotional. When a person reaches a state of total relaxation, a wondrous amount of healing can occur."
