Monica has taken care of my body for about 2 years now. I have had a lot of bodywork over the years. I work long hours and as a physician I have spent most of my life in my brain and not thinking about my body. Monica Valenti has simply been the most outstanding massage therapist for me and my needs. She combines a extensive knowledge of anatomy and physiology, with a deep intuition about pain, relaxation, tension, and release. She also has captured that other sense that has no exact words to describe and may sound hokey but she is able to intuit where I am on the table and what I need in the moment to recover. Every treatment is different and I’m not exactly sure why but her hands seem to be on a mission for healing and recovery whenever I lie on her table. It is a great experience. It is a unique experience. It is a deep experience. She takes bodywork to its most fundamental place, which is ultimately restorative to both my body and my mind.

Here you will find information for new clients and my office policies:
My treatment is designed according to the needs and preferences of each client. A session may address general stress, particular strains, or soft tissue injuries. My goal is to assist each person in releasing tension, recovering more quickly and fully from injuries, and restoring a sense of ease in the body.
For those who are interested, I offer a variety of self-care techniques, including tension-releasing and energy-building exercises that are easy to do at home or at work to extend and maintain the benefits of treatments. Theses are available on my Clients Only segment of this site. At your first appointment I will give you the password to enter this portion of the website so you may access:
Appointments are scheduled Monday through Friday only.
My in-office fee is $160 per session. Extended sessions are available.
Home visits (only if you have a table) cost $200 for a 75-minute session.
Massage gift certificates are a nurturing way to say that you care. Let me know if you would like to pick it up or have me send it.
Call my office at 212-362-3889 or email [email protected] with any questions and to schedule an appointment.
You must cancel at least 24 hours before your appointment time or the full fee is charged and payable immediately. (I do not charge if you have a medical emergency.) If cancelling less than 24 hours before your session you may send a friend or family member to take your place, or the full fee will be charged. If the treatment is a gift, payment arrangements must be made before the appointment.
When cancelling, please contact me by one of the below options, state your name, the date and time of your appointment and when/how you wish me to contact you about rescheduling.
The hour you book is your time. If you arrive late and another client is scheduled for the hour immediately following your appointment, you will receive a shorter treatment. If I have some free time after your hour, I will accommodate your lateness whenever possible.
Third party payment is not accepted. You are welcome to request a detailed receipt for all sessions. In the event that your health insurance provider covers treatments, you are responsible for submitting the necessary forms to your insurance company. I will be available to answer questions and communicate with insurance case managers to facilitate processing of your claims whenever necessary.
Everything that transpires during your professional treatment with me is held in absolute confidence and never shared — even with another professional — without your permission.
This intake form (download here) provides important background information that helps me tailor effective sessions to meet your particular needs. To save time at your initial appointment, please fill it in and get it back to me at least 24 hours prior to your session. I will always respect your privacy and assure you this information will be kept absolutely confidential. I will have you sign the consent segment in my office at our first meeting.
