The Balanced Bodyworks Team

Stephen Tortorello

Nationally Certified Massage Therapist and Bodyworker

Specializing in Structural Integration, Pain Management, Orthopedic Massage, Myofascial Release, Stress Management & Relaxation, and Chair Massage

After working in the corporate world for 6 years, Stephen knew that something had to change. Because each day had become a cycle of endless calculations, phone calls, and e-mails, he began feeling passive in his own life, often times neglecting to take ample time to rejuvenate and heal himself. After some self-evaluation and deliberation, he decided to become an active participant in his career and life by enrolling at the Institute of Therapeutic Massage in Pompton Lakes, NJ. Inspired by an improved sense of well-being and positivity, Stephen also earned a certification as a personal trainer from the National Academy of Sports Medicine. He graduated from the School of Integrative Therapies in June 2006 where he developed his skills in Structural Integration. He is also certified in orthopedic massage from OMERI. He  teaches massage at the Institute for Therapeutic Massage. He is dedicated to bringing health and wellness to others.

    Immediately after receiving his certification in massage therapy, Stephen co-founded Balanced Bodyworks, LLC with his wife Anelyn. Together, they are working to create a business founded on the belief that a healthy life is a balanced life. They strive to educate their minds, stimulate their bodies, and nurture their spirits both in their careers and in their lives.
