As a graduate of the New York College of Health Professions and someone involved in ongoing educational training, ALANNA LARDARO is not a typical massage therapist. Her goal 27 years ago was not just to give excellent massages to people looking to heal, but to have them understand how to “listen” to their bodies, take care of themselves, and seek the necessary forms of wellness for optimal physical and mental health. From working with surgeons for post- surgical care and treating athletes pre- and post-training, she has never stopped learning in order to provide her clients with the quality service they deserve.
