Diana has been in practice since 2005. After 25 years as a computer specialist and business consultant, the call to healing arts finally won, and Diana enrolled in Onondaga School of Therapeutic Massage, graduating as Valedictorian in June 2005.
Diana began working in October 2005, treating a variety of clients with concerns ranging from stress to serious spinal disc compression. She has developed a loyal following and is expanding her practice to serve a broader community.
Diana has continued her education with courses in CranioSacral Therapy, Lymphatic Drainage, Bruno Chikly's Brain Therapy, Alaya Chikly's Heart Centered Therapy, Certification by James Waslaski in Orthopedic Massage and Integrated Manual Therapy, and Reiki.

Dana Gibbs-Griffith LMT
In 2000 Dana Gibbs-Griffith graduated from The Body Therapy Institute, in Greensboro NC, with a Massage Therapy degree. This experience was life-changing both personally and professionally. Eagar to share the simple yet powerful gift of massage with the world, Dana set out to develop a massage therapy practice. From 2000-2007 Dana established a successful private practice working holistically and collaboratively with other M.T.'s in Greenville, N.C.
In 2007 the "calling of family" led Dana to relocate back to New York. For several years motherhood and Dana's first "professional love", working with pre-k children, kept her busy and satisfied. Working as a Massage Therapist, however, was missed and always something Dana intended to return to. Dana became licensed in N.Y. state through continued study at The Onondaga School of Massage Therapy. She is thrilled to once again be doing the work that has brought her clients healing and a greater sense of physical, emotional and spiritual wholeness.
In every session Dana aims to create a space of unconditional positive regard for each client. If you need stress reduction, nurturing touch, relief from sore, achey, or tense muscles, Dana is a great fit. She specializes in myofascial deep tissue work for muscle related injuries, pain, or tension, as well as a Swedish style massage for deep relaxation.
Dana offers 60, 75 or 90 minute sessions.
