Allen
Heinlein
Allen opened Back in Touch Massage in 2001, focusing on the idea that massage should not be a once-a-year luxury, but an integral part of wellness for everyone. He envisioned Back in Touch as a “neighborhood massage studio,” low-key and friendly, and dedicated to giving great massages at affordable prices. He began his massage training in California, at the Massage School of Santa Monica; when he returned to New York, he continued his education at the Swedish Institute, becoming a Licensed Massage Therapist in 1991. He has continued his massage training in classes such as myofascial release, trigger point therapy, anma and Reiki. Allen’s continuing enthusiasm about massage springs from seeing truly transformative results in his clients, and he enjoys teaching them about how the body works almost as much as he enjoys performing massage. Come in for a massage from Allen—you just might feel better than you have in years!

Scherri
Moten
Scherri was educated at the Institute for Therapeutic Massage in Pompton Lakes, NJ, graduating in 2000. She says, “I never imagined I would be a Massage Therapist! However, I know I would never enjoy anything else more than this. As a therapist who is very active, I put myself in the place of the client. We all know how our bodies can react after strenuous exercise—or a hard day at work. I simply go after and pinpoint those exact areas of stress. You can’t miss with a massage from me!”
