Joe Gwynn, LMBT

I graduated from the Connecticut Center for Massage Therapy (now the Cortiva Institute) in 2011, and since then I’ve been focused on helping clients ease pain, reduce stress, and restore balance. My approach blends both therapeutic and holistic techniques, including Swedish, deep tissue, trigger point therapy, lymphatic drainage, Reiki, IASTM, and myofascial cupping. Each session is customized to your needs, whether you’re seeking relief from chronic tension, support in recovery, or simply need some time to relax.

Massage is more than a treatment, it’s a way to create space for healing, rest, and connection. My goal is to provide an environment where you can step away from stress and pain, and leave feeling refreshed, lighter, and more at ease in your body. It’s a privilege to support your well-being and offer care that meets you where you are.

This is a completely customizable massage therapy session, everything can be adjusted according to your preferences including depth of pressure and focus areas. Whether you'd prefer a general full body session, specific deep tissue work, or any combination, everything can be adapted to what you need.

Myofascial Cupping Massage

60 min - $120

This is a focused session on specific areas of your choosing using a combination of massage therapy and myofascial cupping. Usually this is an upper body session, mostly focusing on the back, neck, and arms, but it can be done anywhere you're holding pain and tension.

Myofascial cupping is different from traditional cupping therapy in that the cups are moved over the skin in a gliding motion, which has the effect of stretching the fascia and really loosening up those deeper layers of tension.

Reiki & Guided Meditation

60 min - $100

An energy work session combining Reiki, guided imagery, and breathing techniques to promote healing, stress relief, and deep wellness. This session can be focused on something specific that's bothering you, whether physically, emotionally, spiritually, or anything else; or it can be a general session working through the chakras and energy body.
