The Team

Nina has been a New York State licensed massage therapist, specializing in therapeutic techniques since 1996, when she first opened Elle Therapeutic Massage in West Seneca, N.Y. Over the past 25 years, the practice has grown to include three additional NYS licensed massage therapists: Joy C. Glover, Stephanie M. Gajewski, and Jason Gortzig.

Joy joined the Elle team in 2005. She has been practicing reflexology for over 20 years and earned her NYS license in massage therapy in 2003 after completing her education at the New York Institute of Massage. She has been spent 10+ years working in the nutrition and health food industry. Her vast knowledge of nutrition and complementary supplementation is an additional benefit to clients.

Stephanie earned her business degree at SUNY Utica/Rome and attended the Onondaga School of Therapeutic Massage in Rochester, New York. She received her NYS license in massage therapy in 2005. We were blessed to have her join the team at Elle in 2006. Stephanie’s therapeutic massage and deep tissue treatments reflect her background as an athlete, and her (first-hand) experience with injury rehabilitation.

Jason – our most recent team member – also attended the New York Institute of Massage and obtained his license in 2008. Jason’s firm, therapeutic pressure is complimented by his calm, easy-going nature.
