Forrest Lahens is an energetic and compassionate therapist who has been practicing the art of massage therapy for over 20 years. In this time, he has worked for various day spas, built a private practice and participated in corporate chair massage events throughout New York city. Forrest’s style of bodywork incorporates the ancient acupressure technique of shiatsu as well as the long and short strokes of Swedish massage. He has masterfully developed a full body massage that combines compression, light stretches and range of motion that targets all the joints of the body. His style offers integrative bodywork that promotes the physical and emotional well-being of his clients.
In June of 2020 an opportunity emerged for Forrest to plant and harvest medicinal herbs at Seed Song Farm in Kingston, NY. After spending a season in the Hudson Valley region Forrest has chosen quality of life rather than the hustle and bustle of NYC. Forrest believes in the vitality of good health and the balance of mind, body, and spirit. What is placed in the body orally, mentally, spiritually and visually reflects who you are. A sound regiment of a healthy diet, drinking plenty of water, daily exercise, and monthly massages will keep your body at optimal performance.

“The property is amazing. The creek running through it is one of the most amazing places to sit and listen that I have ever been to. I work in the forest industry and am constantly exposed to the wonders of the natural world, and I feel like this is one of the most profound natural spaces I have been to in my life.”
