Dear Prospective Client,

   Welcome to Shelter Island Wellness.  My name is Simon Raffel, and I look forward to working with you!

    My bodywork practice has evolved over time as I strive to help my clients meet their health needs and wellness goals.  Initially I practiced mainly therapeutic massage.  These days, I focus on 2 osteopathic modalities: Lymphatic Drainage Therapy and Zero Balancing along with additional modalities like Polarity Therapy to a lesser extent.  Both were developed by ostepathic physicians with a profound knowledge of anatomy & physiology as well as body energy pathways and principles.  Both can help address the roots of imbalance in the body.

     The majority of my clients seek improved overall wellness, greater relaxation and increased energy. They seek relief from the effects of chronic and acute conditions like pain, inflammation, toxicity and stress.  They want to improve their posture, flexibility, respiration, digestion and sleep.  There are many applications of these modalities for emotional and spiritual wellness as well including help with relief from the symptoms of anxiety, depression, grief, pain, imbalanced emotions, stagnancy.

      Whether you are seasoned on the table or have never experienced the joy of professional bodywork, I will listen to you with compassion and undivided attention throughout our time together. The only sessions I offer are ones tailored to your personal goals and needs. I hope to hear from you soon.  Ciao!
