Swedish Massage
A full-body massage session with a soothing blend of long, flowing strokes, using firm yet gentle pressure to ease muscle tension and promote deep relaxation. Using nourishing oils or lotions, this classic offering is designed to help provide focus care, time and attention. Myofascial Release and gentle stretching techniques can be incorporated into this session.
Swedish/Western Massage is ideal for anyone seeking massage, who wants support in stress relief, enhanced flexibility, or promoting greater ease in the body. This leaves you relaxed, refreshed, and rebalanced.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, rhythmic massage designed to stimulate the flow of lymph and help to reduce swelling, puffiness, and inflammation.

Meet Carla
Hi, I’m Carla Gaskins-Nathan, healing arts practitioner based in Newburgh and New Windsor, NY.
I have been a New York State Licensed Massage Therapist since 2013, am a certified member of Associated Massage and Bodywork Professionals (ABMP), and hold certifications in perinatal massage and manual lymph drainage.
I believe that self-care is vital and also believe in collective care. There are times when the individual body needs space, time and tending. There are times when our collective bodies need care as well.
I am called to support both with cross-cultural, whole-body practices rooted in liberation and social justice.
I invite anyone in Newburgh, New Windsor, and across the Hudson Valley who needs therapeutic touch or bodywork to reach out or book a massage session with me.
