Get back in the flow…

Life can be hard on a body! Injuries, poor posture, illnesses, surgeries, stressful situations, and the wear and tear of ageing, can all take a toll. But living with pain and discomfort is not inevitable.

My job as a clinical practitioner is to help you activate your body’s inherent healing power. The process is one of moving your nervous, myofascial (muscle and fascia), and skeletal systems toward greater balance and integration.

My goal is to facilitate pain reduction and optimized function as well as to promote a capacity for deep relaxation and for being at ease with whatever shows up in the body. After all, your body is designed to heal itself! Sometimes it just needs a little help to get back in the flow.

I work with people of all ages, from teens to nonagenarians. and tailor my sessions to suit each person’s individual needs.

As an End-of-Life Doula, I also provide palliative touch to those approaching their final days.

What clients are saying

To say that Ana is a miracle worker would be some exaggeration, but not for me. I went to her with shoulder issues that I thought might be permanent and with her careful help I've reclaimed 90% of my mobility back. She is patient and compassionate and very skilled. I can't say enough good things about her. She is the real deal. - Chris K

I recently had my first appointment with Ana. I was extremely impressed with her knowledge of anatomy and kinesiology. Ana utilized several techniques to treat my areas of pain. I remained pain free for several days! I plan to continue to work with Ana toward my goal of being pain free!! - Barbara W

Ana Varona knows her stuff -- her massage therapy is truly attentive to my physical issues rather than generic. It is a complete reset. I am a dancer, and Ana's expertise with dancing has given her the ability to understand my needs and provide good consultative support. - Michele M

I came to Ana with chronic back pain after seeing an MD and going for PT. Ana's assessment was spot on and her therapeutic left me feeling so much better!! I would highly recommend Ana after just 2 visits....she made a huge difference in how I feel. And she helped me with basics like posture, sitting correctly when at the computer. Can't wait for my next appointment! - Debbie L

Ana is amazing. When I started with her I had a noticeable limp from hip pain. I had trouble walking my dogs. She knows exactly what she is doing and has educated me on my body. Now people say, ”hey you aren’t limping you look great!” I feel younger and have more mobility now. Back to walking my dogs with pleasure! - Jaclynn D

Such intentionality and attentiveness to my individual body. Highly recommend. Wonderful experience. Already been twice and will Definitely be back again soon. - Deborah J

have been receiving massage therapy, ART treatment and kinesio taping from Ana Varona since 2014: I’ve gone to her for specific aches and pains, for general restorative massage, and for postpartum treatment. In terms of the aches and pains, I consistently notice results - a week ago I had limited range of motion in my neck that was almost completely resolved by the time she was done working on it. The restorative massage is magical. And my (in-home!) postpartum care was fantastic, the kinesio taping helped with abdominal recovery and the massage just made everything so much better. I highly, highly recommend her services. - Krystina D

Ana is one of the most competent therapists I have ever met. I have received dozens of massage treatments since I had a disc injury 10 years ago. Ana accomplished more in one hour than what it takes others several sessions. My highest recommendation. - Jorge S

Magical, healing hands; she knows the human body and identifies the places that need attention applying the massage with appropriate energy and pressure. A first-class professional, she always listens to the person receiving the massage, making it so much more effective. - Ana Teresa R

Ana is very skilled and I was immediately impressed by her knowledge of anatomy and pressure points. I generally like deep tissue but Ana's form of massage is indeed calming and achieves the same effects as a deep tissue massage does. She herself is a kind and elegant lady. I have always left feeling so much better and clear-headed. My mother also goes to her and I can tell the good impact on her as well, every visit. - Alina E

Ana has incredible knowledge, a genuine interest in her patients’ well-being and is very professional. It is the only treatment that has improved my condition. Not only does she provide treatment in the clinic, she also provides exercises and stretches that help at home and at work. I recommend her without reservation. - Melissa V

A health professional urged me to call Ana despite his working with me on a back/leg pain issue over a long period. Finally, I called Ana and have found a new level of dealing with a chronic problem. Not only am I receiving a great deal of relief from massage, ART work and kinesiotaping but the bonuses with Ana are the takeaways of simple home exercise, ways to deal with immediate discomfort and a total regard for a patient's welfare. I have used many modalities over the years to work with headache, neck pain and back pain. Ana's comprehensive approach is a great comfort and I know that I am in very experienced hands. I feel very fortunate in having Ana Varona and Calmatherapy in our area. -Anne B

With her experienced clinical eye, Ana quickly identified the cause of my pain. Using both deep and gentle massage, she helped release the tension, deftly applied Kinesio tape and carefully demonstrated some specific exercises to retrain the muscles. She really helped me get my life back! Highly recommended. - Mary A

Ana is the best massage therapist I have gone to! She has extensive knowledge of human anatomy, and she’s trained in additional techniques like Active Release Therapy and kinesio taping. Because she has several different techniques at her fingertips, she has a solution for every muscle or soft-tissue problem. This is not a massage that wears off a few hours later like so many others! The emphasis is on releasing specific areas of tension, which helps encourage better posture, which in turn helps prevent future tension issues. Ana’s warm personality helps you feel at ease right from the first appointment, and scheduling is easy through her website. We are so lucky to have Ana in our area! I look forward to each appointment, and I always leave having less pain and feeling like a newer, looser, happier person! - Patricia K

Exceedingly professional and kind.
About two years ago I lost the use of my left arm do a catastrophic injury. I have been to several large physical therapy institutes in New Jersey but was left with only 50% use of my left arm. I suffered from severe pain and spasms in the arm and hand. It was almost impossible to sleep through the night. I was unable to write legibly…pick up a cup… doing my own hair was very difficult and painful.
After just a couple of visits to Calma Therapy Ana was able to work with me and calm down my spasms and decreased my pain significantly. I was able to sleep through the night. Working with Ana I was quickly able to regain a great degree of function and my pain is now under control. It would take too long here to list the benefits I receive from massage therapy with Ana. This Massage Therapist has a grasp on anatomy and physiology that makes her able to locate and isolate issues and work on them effectively and quickly.
Ana is also highly skilled in Kinesiology tape work. I don’t know how it works but it does. If you’re having pain issues I implore you to take advantage of these amazing therapies. Life changing is an understatement.

For nearly a year, we have enjoyed Ana Varona's calma THERAPY monthly, the epiphany of a superb massage just five minutes from Stonebridge at Montgomery where we live.  We feel most grateful to her and her evolved capacity to wake up the entire body, bone by bone, muscle by muscle, gently, firmly, professionally. - Scott Mc

Ana Varona is amazing!! I’ve been suffering from tennis elbow for over a year and a half. I’ve been to every type of doctor and physical therapist and nothing has worked. After my first ART treatment the pain felt 80% better. I highly recommend Calma Therapy to anyone that is suffering from chronic pain. - Danny M
