"A few years ago I was referred to Anthony by a friend and I
have to say he is one of the best discoveries I have made in
NYC. I have never had a deep tissue massage that is so
effective with such long lasting effect. I am a musician and
am incredibly picky about who works on my body so I
appreciate that Anthony is incredibly intuitive and is able to
find all of my problem spots without me saying a word. I
couldn't recommend him more!"
Julie A.  on TGTYS' head massage therapist , Anthony Wood

"Anthony Wood is a gifted healer, not just a good massage
therapist. His talents as a massage therapist are only
over-shadowed by his impeccable instincts and his open and
loving spirit. A session with Anthony will not only make your
body feel good, but will leave your spirit lifted and make you
want to do better. For more than five years I have had the
great privelage of having Anthony in my life and can not
imagine working with anyone else in this field. You will not find
a better therapist or a better man."

Reiki at The Giving Tree
with Lena Diechle
Is your job stressing you out? Do you feel out of balance? Do
you suffer from pain in the body?  Does it feel like your body
needs an energetic tune-up?  Reiki is a hands-on healing
technique that balances, realigns energy, and activates
your own healing powers. It reduces stress, increases energy
and focus, and enhances creativity. Reiki is a Japanese word
meaning Universal Life Energy. This Tibetan energy treatment
works with the meridian system of energy pathways running
through the body.
