Darcie Hughes
Licensed Massage Therapist, Certified Kinesio Practitioner, and Doula: LMT, CKTP
I strongly believe in the physical and mental benefits of massage and am always pursuing new techniques and doing additional educational programs. My clientele includes both men and women, and I have a special interest in pregnancy massage to help ease a mother’s changing body.
It’s always been my dreams to open my own business, New Beginnings Wellness Center is the realization of that dream. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
I graduated from The Finger Lakes School of Massage in 1997. Immediately following graduation I was employed at New Day Massage in Elmira and worked there until June 2007. I had many great experiences there such as teaching couples massage classes and showing parents how to do infant massage. I have a lot of experience in many forms of therapeutic massage such as medical massage, stress reduction, and pain relief.
After having my first son, I became very interested in becoming a Doula (labor coach). I received my certification in 2003 and have attended over 100 births. I love working with mothers and fathers, helping them to welcome their new baby into the world.
After developing Plantar Fasciitis from a running injury in 2013 I attended a continuing education class in Rochester and was asked to be a demo patient using Kinesio tape. From that moment I knew just how much this could help me to help my clients continue their healing processes after injury. In Feb of 2016 I received a certification after attending a series of Kinesiology seminars in upstate New York.
