The Center for Body Wellness

The Center for Body Wellness is a massage therapy studio located on Titus Avenue in Irondequoit, NY, operated by licensed massage therapist Michele Lee Perticone. Established in 2006, the business runs as a sole-practitioner studio where Perticone works directly with each client. In addition to her massage therapy license, Perticone holds certification as a spiritual life coach, and she incorporates that background into optional life coaching sessions offered alongside bodywork. The studio is open Monday through Saturday, with appointments available through the MassageBook online booking platform.

The Center for Body Wellness provides a range of massage and body treatments, including:

• Swedish massage – available in 30-, 60-, and 90-minute sessions
• Deep tissue massage – a custom approach blending Swedish techniques with targeted pressure for chronic tension
• Hot stone massage – heated basalt stones placed on acupressure points, offered in 60- and 90-minute sessions
• Herbal poultice massage – a 90-minute treatment combining sweet orange and eucalyptus poultices with aromatherapy and guided meditation
• Lomi Lomi – a Hawaiian-style technique focused on deep musculature work and stretching
• Pregnancy massage – a side-lying, full-body session designed for expectant mothers
• Herbal body wraps – essential oil massage followed by herb-infused linen wrapping, with scalp and facial massage included
• Body scrubs – sea salt and essential oil exfoliation treatments

Couples massage sessions are also available. Beyond bodywork, Perticone offers life coaching sessions focused on navigating relationships, grief, career challenges, and personal growth. Gift certificates can be purchased for any service.

The Center for Body Wellness is a long-running, single-therapist studio — a format that gives the business a consistent, personalized feel compared to larger spa operations. With nearly two decades on Titus Avenue, the studio has built its practice around offering both standard relaxation massage and more specialized treatments like herbal poultice therapy and Lomi Lomi that are less commonly found at independent studios in the Rochester area.

The studio is located at 485 Titus Avenue, Suite C, in the town of Irondequoit, just northeast of downtown Rochester. Titus Avenue is one of Irondequoit's primary commercial corridors, lined with small businesses, restaurants, and service providers. The location sits within easy reach of the Titus Avenue and Hudson Avenue intersection and is a short drive from Irondequoit Town Hall and the Irondequoit Bay area. Street and lot parking are available along the Titus Avenue commercial strip.
