Laura Herby

Licensed Massage Therapist

I am a proud graduate of Niagara County Community College, becoming a licensed massage therapist in 2020. I have experience in medical massage, sports massage, and therapeutic massage. I enjoy incorporating energy work and Thai massage techniques to help you feel balanced, restored, and deeply cared for.

My style is nurturing, intuitive, and tailored to each client’s needs. I love integrating eastern and western modalities to assist you in unwinding and reconnecting with yourself.

When I’m not massaging, you can usually find me outdoors, gardening, or spending time with my friends and family.

Hi, I’m Ivy Pionessa. I grew up in Attica NY, and have always had a passion for self-care, beauty, and fashion. I love helping others feel confident and their best, both inside and out. When I’m not at the office, I enjoy spending time in nature, traveling, and keeping active with Pilates at Reform. I’m also a proud lover of a good reality TV binge. A fun fact about me is I’m one of eleven siblings.

You’ll often find me outside of work spending time with my fiancé, Parker, and focusing on wellness and self-care.

I enjoy interacting with clients and providing excellent service. I dream of becoming a plastic surgeon, as I love helping others feel confident in their appearance.

In my free time, I enjoy reading books and playing volleyball, which gives me a great sense of teamwork and fun. Music is another passion of mine; I play the piano and even had the opportunity to compete at Carnegie Hall.

With my varied interests and dreams, I strive to inspire those around me.
