Massage Therapy

100


100 per hour - - Posted Dec 29, 2016

I am a Licensed Massage Therapist skilled in Swedish/deep-tissue and Thai massage and certified in perinatal massage, working at Yelo Spa in Midtown and Lenox Hill Massage on Upper East Side as well as in hotels and with private clients.

Similar to how quickly good food or good music can improve our mood, massage has the power to make someone feel great, more normal, more human, physically and mentally, in the most direct way (through touch). It feels emotionally gratifying to me when I can take a client from a place of tiredness, physical discomfort, or pain to a place where they feel rested, energized, healed. I enjoy getting massages myself, and ability of the therapist to do what I ask makes a big difference for me. So, with my clients too, I pay attention to how they feel and what they need, which differs from session to session.

Khanan really took his time with my massage and tried to make the experience tailored to how you like it. He is really knowledgeable about massage and... experienced. You can tell he has a deep seated passion for massage. I would definitely recommend going to him. It was my first time going to get a professional massage and he exceeded my expectations. I felt a better range of motions in my shoulder afterwards and enjoyed it. Would go back again!show more

About Khanan Asherov

A Swedish Institute graduate working as a Licensed Massage Therapist at two established, client-centered massage studios in Manhattan as well as in hotels and with private clients, specializing in the...rapeutic & deep-tissue massage and Thai massage; certified in perinatal massage; bilingual (Russian/English). My initial training started as far back as 1993, when I took my first Therapeutic Massage course while studying in an institute of technology in Russia. Though my main career centered around computers, between 2002 and 2013 I continued to practice massage as a hobby and took numerous courses in Thai Massage — here in New York, with Ananda Apfelbaum, and at the Thai Institute in [then] Virginia. Finally in 2014, fixed on the idea of turning massage into a second career, I enrolled into the Massage Therapy program at the Swedish Institute of Health Sciences, studied hard, polishing my skills at the P.H. Ling Clinic there, then graduated in 2015, and has since worked as an LMT at Lenox Hill Massage on UES (261 E 78 St), Massage Greenpoint in Brooklyn, and Yelo Spa in Midtown (5 E 57 St). Very health-conscious myself, I have a passion for helping my clients improve their physical and emotional well-being through bodywork — and, in general, for helping healthy people get healthier. Well-versed in Swedish & Thai, among other modalities, I blend the most effective techniques to provide each client with a custom session every time.show more
