“Our body is such a complex structure where everything is connected. Small, overworked, and overused muscles put the whole body in an imbalance and I like to find that spot.” - Jenya Policelli
I have been a licensed massage therapist since 2009 after graduating from the Northern Virginia Therapeutic Massage School in Falls Church, Virginia. My interest in massage therapy started after attending a free massage class where a guest therapist spoke to students about what massage therapy was and the benefits that came from it. Soon after I enrolled and completed my training.
As an experienced therapist with more nearly 15 years of experience, I strive to serve the best interest of my clients at all times. My goal is to provide the best quality bodywork and service possible through various techniques and modalities to treat clients dealing with chronic pain, fibromyalgia, broken bones, and other health issues.
I enjoy working with runners, swimmers, tennis players, and other athletes to help repair and recover from strenuous activities, keeping them in tip top shape. My skills focus on Deep Tissue, Myofascial Release, and Swedish/Relaxation. Delivering compassionate quality care to my clients is my top priority.
Choosing a career in massage therapy six years ago was fueled by a deep passion for healing and a sincere desire to contribute to others' optimal health. My expertise lies in Swedish, Deep Tissue, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release. I firmly believe in the transformative power of touch to heal and rejuvenate the body. My commitment is unwavering — to provide every client with a professional and therapeutic experience that goes beyond expectations.
​
Outside the massage room, I enjoy spending quality time with friends and family and taking hikes with my pups. I'm also a bit of a food enthusiast, always eager to try new and exciting dishes at different restaurants. I look forward to bringing my knowledge and passion to Peak Performance Massage and Recovery, where I am excited to be part of a team dedicated to the wellbeing of our clients.
