Athena Coroneos
About Me
I am a Licensed Massage Therapist, Certified Esthetician, Certified Reflexologist and Reiki Master.
I am a 1996 Connecticut Center of Massage Therapy graduate and most recently a 2015 graduate from Marinello School of Beauty as a Certified Esthetician. I am a Licensed Massage Therapist in Connecticut and New York State and a member of the NCBTMB (National Certification Board for Therapeutic Bodywork).
My other healing modalities
include Organic Facials, Facial Massage/Face Lift Therapy, PCA Peels, Deep Tissue Massage, Sports Massage, Cupping, Reiki, Cranial Sacral, Thai Massage, Watsu, The Reconnection, Perinatal, Labor, Post-Partum Massage, and Infant Massage (my youngest client was two days old). Hot Stone Massage and Pranic Healing. Certified as an Infant Massage Instructor through the Loving Touch Program, I have taught an infant massage class to the parents of infants ranging from 10 weeks old to 1 ½ years old at St. Vincents Hospital in Bridgeport, CT in August of 1997. I have also completed teaching parents in a 4 week infant massage class at the office of Dr. Joel Evans, OBGYN, in Stamford, CT in August of 1998. In continuing the cycle of reciprocity, I teach on an ongoing basis classes at the Norwalk Public Schools Adult Education on "How to Give a Relaxing Massage" in the fall semester and the spring semesters at the Norwalk Continuing Education.
Academically my undergraduate degree is in Leadership and my Master's degree in Special Education with a cross endorsement of TESSOL.
In addition I have volunteered massage to the clients of Bread & Roses
(An HIV Alternative Health Care Center in Norwalk, CT) and The Centre for Natural Healing in Norwalk where I worked for 6 years. My volunteer experience continued with the pre-event massage for the Boston Marathon runners in April 2000. This opened up a door for more massage endeavors working with the USA Massage Therapy Team in 2002 Salt Lake Winter Olympics where I volunteered my time to work on members of the Foreign Press and most enthusiastically on the Olympians of the Winter Olympics. Recently, I went to the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece where I was one of 100 hundred applicants chosen from a field of 500 applicants to work with the USA Massage Therapy team on the Olympians. I continue to volunteer my time with the New York Road Runners Team for the 2013 through 2016 and on with the NYC Marathons.
The newest addition to my adroitness is that I am a Justice of the Peace and Notary Public.
I absolutely, am positively thrilled at being a Justice of the Peace. I love it!!! What a blessing to join two souls together in marriage. I do not discriminate between body, soul and gender. I have found that this is a great union of the whole to facilitate the heart, mind, body and soul in marriage, health and healing/massage. I will continue to pursue and learn new techniques so that I may grow and nurture and facilitate my clients' needs and healings. My heartfelt goal is to continue collaborative efforts to facilitate my clients, so we may grow together to globally heal the world -- one person at a time.

Testimonials
Maria D.
Although I had always considered massage a luxury, when I was pregnant it became a necessity, and I knew Athena was the right person to schedule regular appointments with to ease my aches and pains. She is flexible, caring, and always willing to go the extra mile to help me feel supported and relaxed. I have known her for almost eighteen years and she is second to none in her dedication to her clients. She is the best massage therapist I know.
Carol L.
Athena has been my massage therapist for 15 years. I have a severe scoliosis which causes multiple back problems. Athena's healing touch has been my salvation on many days. That coupled with wisdom and a gentle spirit are a perfect combination.
Lori S.
Since I've been getting regular massages almost my entire adult life, I consider myself somewhat of a connoissaeur, and Athena is one of the best massage therapists I've ever had work on me. When I moved to CT in 2001, I tried several massage therapists and never had a second appointment with any of them until I met Athena! And I've been with her ever since.
Sara S.
Having gone to Athena for the last twelve years, I have come to appreciate her intuitive wisdom and think of Athena as a healer. Both the massage therapy and reflexology that I receive are custom made to my needs. Whether I am there every week or every other week, I feel completely rejuvenated and ready to take the world on all over again. The serene atmosphere allows me to relax and let go of all the tension. Athena's work is long

Massage Therapy and Cancer
There has been many a myth pertaining to massage therapy and cancer.
What do I mean? Well, Doctors have warned patients that receiving massage therapy would spread cancer cells throughout the body via the lymphatic system and be detrimental to the patient's help. And, as many dutiful, and, compliant patients, they believe what the Doctors tell them is the gospel truth.
While in fact, we have cancer cells in our bodies all the time
It is just unfortunate, that a rogue cancer cell runs rampant and latches itself onto a healthy cell which in turn is engulfed by the cancer cell and the hypertrophy of the cell begins bringing the cell to its new home(s) through the lymph system. Don't get me wrong, I know that Doctors would shudder when they hear this very simplistic view of cancer and, there are many factors that do affect cancer – for example, environment (internal and external), genetics, and various other factors, but, massage when indicated, is not one of them.
If a person can use a wash cloth pressure to shower/bathe themselves, then they can receive the same pressure with the massage strokes.
There activities of daily living (ADL) are not at all curtailed and the massage will provide some much needed relief. "Massage does not increase lymphatic circulation any more than any of a number of day-to-day activities. If increased circulation led to increased spread of cancer cells, doctors would warn patients against any activity at all, which they clearly do not." (http://www.massagetherapy.com/articles/index.php/article_id/278/Massage-and-the-Cancer-Patient) Therefore, when a Licensed Massage Therapist works on a person who has been diagnosed with cancer, he/she should voice what areas he/she are to work on and if the tolerance for milder strokes are needed and permissible.
There are many hospitals of noteworthy notoriety
"Memorial Sloan-Kettering in New York City, Southwest Washington Medical Center in Vancouver, Washington, Stanford University in Palo Alto, California and Geffen Cancer Center Research Institute in Vero Beach, Florida are just a few." (http://www.alternativesmagazine.com/36/swarington.html,), which have been using integrative medicine (massage therapy, reiki, aromatherapy and reflexology) in consort with typical treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation.
The benefits of massage therapy outweigh any unfounded contraindications pertaining to massage therapy.
True there are some cautions which need to be taken into consideration – recent burns from radiation therapy, recent surgeries, open wounds, sutures and ports (clavicular or anticubital), are to be proceeded with common sense prudence. The advantages from a physical side are relief from pain, nausea, fatigue, insomnia, and muscle tension. On the emotional side, the healing of touch helps many people to allay their feelings of isolation, loneliness, depression and anxiety. Clients feel it improves their quality of life and stimulates the will to live. Besides, it just feels so darn good to get massaged when the effects of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation hurt so darn bad and make you feel like garbage!" (http://www.alternativesmagazine.com/36/swarington.html). As a client said to me, "I feel as if my body craves being touched and massage therapy can help me with that."
As always, confer with your doctor(s) before hand to get the thumbs up "ok" signal to receive a massage session.
Don't let fear take hold of the fact that you deserve a better quality of life. I know without a doubt that massage therapy can contribute to the one life you are living -- now - in this single moment! Feel free to be victorious! Go in Peace, Athena
