Donna Brainard L.M.T.

"I enjoy helping people become pain free so that they can get their lives back," writes nationally certified massage therapist Donna Brainard on her website. It was this passion to help others that originally led her to the New York Institute of Massage, where she graduated in 2002. But her education didn't end there. To this day, Ms. Brainard enrolls in new courses to keep up with the latest massage techniques and check whether humans have developed superhuman strength. Her efforts become evident within her quiet massage room. Here, soft music massages eardrums as the practitioner's nimble fingers use Swedish, deep-tissue, and reflexology techniques, which she augments with lotions and a passable whale impression.
