Jacqueline Santos, LMT
Licensed Massage Therapist
I have worked in the healthcare field since 1986, beginning as a Nursing Assistant and becoming a Licensed Practical Nurse in 1991. After many years of working with several different
populations—including geriatric, psychiatric, and autistic—I was looking to transition into
Massage Therapy, where I could utilize the skills and knowledge I honed in the nursing field. In 2003, I enrolled at New York College of Health Professions and graduated with my Licensed
Massage Therapist degree. Going forward, I am working to become a certified Lymphatic Drainage Practitioner.

Adrianne Zate, LMT
Licensed Massage Therapist
Adrianne’s path began her freshman year of college where she lived in Costa Rica. She traveled to Ecuador, Peru, and Nicaragua to learn about holistic medicine and various social economical issues. During this time she met over 20 Shamans who shared their knowledge of plants and indigenous medicine. After returning to the states, she stumbled upon New York College Of Health Professions. Being naturally drawn to the herbal medicine, she pursued her degree in Oriental Medicine/Acupuncture and she eventually was the manager of the herbal dispensary of the school. Being an acupuncture student really brought out the idea of being a healer. She decided to become a massage therapist to bring body and qi together. She realized that the combination of modalities created a much greater level of results. Adrianne loves providing massage because of the many benefits it offers her patients movement towards their healing and overall wellness.

Taylor Paganini, LMT
Licensed Massage Therapist
Throughout my life I have struggled with chronic pain and disease until finally being introduced to wholistic medicine in 2011. It brought great relief and hope back into my life. At that point I knew that's what I wanted to do for others. In 2012 I entered New York College of Health Professions and began my journey into Massage and Oriental Medicine. I am licensed and have both knowledge and skill in Swedish, Deep tissue, Tuina and prenatal massage to bring balance back to the mind body and soul. I hope to pursue a future in Eastern Medicine such as Acupuncture or Ayurvedic Medicine.
