Meet our Massage Therapists

Tom brings passion, precision and humor to the Holistic Center that he shares with his
wife.  His holistic massage therapies are universally integrated from both ancient and
contemporary arts and sciences to balance mind, body and spirit.  His managerial
history of designing and implementing a successful corporate wide work program for
disabled adults, along with his volunteer efforts with the Massachusetts Association
for the Blind and his dedicated work with young athletes leaves him with great
compassion and also with a deep understanding of the more subtle energetic
tendencies of both mind and body. 

Julie Amriti Duffy, LMT
Julie Amriti Duffy is a masters level expressive arts therapist and a licensed massage
therapist.  She worked for many years for RAW ART WORKS Inc a non profit arts
organization serving youth at risk, elders and women in recovery of addiction.

Although she loved this work she eventually left to pursue another great passion. 
She traveled and studied healing work and self realization in India for nearly two
years.  The core of her life work is seen in her devotion to deep inner listening and
the courage to take risks to follow her inner promptings.  It was Julie's inner listening
that directed  her to The Massage School in Acton where she completed an intensive
course of study in massage therapy.  She developed her understanding of the human
body and wellness through the study and practice of deep tissue, trigger point,
Swedish and pregnancy massage as well as the foundations of reflexology and
shiatsu.  The intuitive and practical nature of body oriented therapies and the
desire to positively serve community serve as inspiration for her work.
