Kay A Baker

Licensed Massage Therapist

I have been licensed and practicing Massage Therapy since 2005. I graduated from the Connecticut Center for Massage Therapy in Newington, Connecticut.

I derive great joy from helping people achieve and maintain wellness through massage therapy. I have always been interested in the function of the human body and how alternative modalities can affect wellness in the individual.

I believe we are our own greatest healers. I continue to self-educate by experiencing many healing techniques for my own health and well-being. By expanding my knowledge I can better serve my clients. I am a voracious reader and enjoy reading about and have knowledge in the areas of Aromatherapy, Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine, Acupuncture, Energy Medicine, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Neuroscience and general health and wellness.

I have additional training in Corporate Chair Massage, Cranial Sacral Therapy, Hot Stone Massage, Ashiatsu Oriental Bar Therapy, Reflexology, and Reiki.

I wish you a relaxing and joyful stay at Niantic Acupunture. I look forward to helping you attain inner peace and wellness.
