She has enjoyed a privileged affiliation with NYC's exclusive CARLYLE HOTEL since 1990, and has worked for other upscale Spa and Massage Therapy establishments such as CARAPAN (NYC); THE STRESS LESS STEP (NYC); ANUSHKA SPA & SANCTUARY (NYC); THE PENINSULA HOTEL, SPA and Fitness Center (NYC). Ms. Hendricks' accreditation, experience and knowledge in the field of Massage Therapy include: Graduate of THE SWEDISH INSTITUTE OF MASSAGE THERAPY (1988); Licensed with the N.Y. State Board of Education since May 1989 (License # 004464); Training in Shiatsu, Pre- and Post-Natal Massage Techniques; Facial Rejuvenation (a 'Graf' system); Sports Massage Techniques and Flexibility (Aaron Mattes); Trigger Point Therapy; Neuromuscular Re-Education; Somatosynthesis (a workshop with Clyde W.

For two consecutive summers (1991 and 1992), Ms. Hendricks lent massage support to internationally renowned photographer/artist/author, William Wegman, and his Polaroid crew during major photo shoots for Wegman's celebrated work, including his innovative remake of the classic children's book: LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD. Both in January 1993 and January 1994, Ms. Hendricks joined a team of professionals to set up a "Spa Week" at CAP JULUCA - a tony resort on the island of Anguilla in the balmy British West Indies. The "SPA WEEK" was sponsored by CHANEL, INC. as part of a highly successful fundraising event for THE BOYS' CLUB OF NEW YORK. In 1995, Ms. Hendricks spearheaded "HEALING HANDS MASSAGE-A-THON" — a local fundraising effort in response to the Watchung Plaza (Montclair, NJ) Post Office Massacre. This unprecedented event united the entire community. Over 30 professional Massage Therapists donated their services to raise considerable monies, which directly went to benefit the victims' families. In October 2001, Ms. Hendricks volunteered her massage services at the AMERICAN RED CROSS respite (temporarily stationed at the Marriott Hotel, World Trade Center) to help provide relief to the weary rescue workers (i.e., hero firefighters, policemen and -women, sanitation crew, etc.) in the terrible aftermath of 9-11. Currently, Ms. Hendricks resides in
Montclair, NJ; where she has established and enjoys her private
practice and continues to promote the benefits of massage therapy
through her public lectures and journalistic endeavors. |
