-Renee VanKuren, LMT

Massage Therapist and Energy Worker

I decided to become a massage therapist after ten years of religiously reaping the benefits of massage therapy to better my own health. I had always considered my personal therapist some kind of magician whose powers could find and relieve my pain and I was eternally grateful. I wanted to know what I could do to bring this comfort and relaxation to others in my life who I knew could benefit from the healing touch the way I had.

The Center for Natural Wellness School of Massage Therapy gave me the tools to be a recuperative force in the lives of others and I’ve been forever changed!

I’ve been licensed and practicing for more than five years now and my style of massage has matured into an eclectic blend of deep tissue Swedish massage, Neuromuscular therapy and Shiatsu. Eight years ago I received my third level Reiki attunement to become a Reiki Master. I use this healing energy with my massage for all clients and I offer more focused Reiki treatment sessions. I can also provide certified Reiki Training besides the spectrum of massage therapies.

Each of my clients enjoy an hour or more of personal attention that is designed to relieve their stress, muscular tension and pain through focus, empathy and professionalism. I use aromatherapy and my own herbal healing oil to relax, heal and pamper but can tailor my sessions to suit the needs of each individual client.

On a personal level, I am the dedicated mother of three boys between fifteen and twenty-five years of age. We’ve lived outside of Altamont, New York for years, and it is here that we enjoy a life which is close to the earth and in tune with its rhythms. With a big garden, lots of chickens and ducks, a great dog named Sparky and a mighty hunter kitty named Mathew, we are never lonely and always warmly accepting of new members of our makeshift family. I practice Western herbalism, making ointments, teas and syrups to keep myself and my family healthy as just another measure of my love and much of what I use is grown in my backyard.

I look forward to the opportunity to not only work with your physical body but to share the lessons I’ve learned to help you help yourself.
