MaryBeth Ritenour

healing therapies team

Hi and Welcome!

I'm so glad you're here....

I’m MaryBeth Ritenour, licensed massage therapist, and owner of Mohawk Valley Healing Therapies. My mission is really pretty simple: providing relief for those with chronic pain and stress.
I became a massage therapist after having a desk job in IT for many years. The majority of which, I suffered with chronic low back pain. Then a few years ago, I needed surgery on BOTH shoulders to repair a rotator cuff tear. I know all too well, how living with chronic pain can negatively impact our lives and cause excessive stress. I decided to attend massage school because of a very special massage therapist who finally found and addressed the root cause of my chronic back pain.
I have been very blessed to be mentored by that massage therapist in assessment and their very highly effective, specialized massage techniques, to relieve chronic pain conditions. Now, I not only get to live a pain free life, I feel proud and honored to help others the way I have been helped. As I continue working with people in chronic pain, I have found that the adjunct techniques of Craniosacral Therapy and Manual Lymphatic Drainage further enhance the lasting effectiveness of my specialized massage.

During my IT career, what made me great at my job was my attention to detail and my passion for helping my customers by listening to their issues and providing education to help them understand the true issue and then resolving it. I like to work the same way with my clients. When they understand what is going on with their bodies, I help them feel empowered to make better choices and to make the small changes that positively impact their lives to live more pain free.

"I Love Helping People Eliminate Their Chronic Pain and Stress."

Policies

PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THE FOLLOWING.

Please fill out the New Client Intake Form included in your appointment confirmation email at least 24 hours in advance of your session. Otherwise, you must arrive 15-20 minutes early to fill out the paper version at the office.

  • Cancellation Policy

    Cancellation Policy:

    Life happens.....I get it!
    However, as a Sole Practitioner, 100% of the business’s income is based on the time allotted for just four appointments daily, and I'm typically booked out for weeks. Also, when you cancel on short notice, another person, unfortunately, loses the opportunity to get relief from their pain and stress.
    I have a very strict cancellation policy of 24 hours. If you cancel for any reason with less than 24 hours' notice, you'll be charged 50% of the full session cost. If 2 hours or less notice is given, or if you don't show, you'll be charged 100% of the full session cost.
    Read this one more time... That's ANY reason. Illness, car accident, weather, babysitter cancelled...you must pay for your appointment with the credit card I'll have on file for you.
    Thank you so much for understanding and agreeing in advance.

  • Arriving Late

    Arriving Late:

    Out of respect and consideration for my time and other clients, please plan to be on time. Arrive 5-10 minutes early for any appointment in order to get the full time scheduled. If you arrive right on time or late, I can only give you whatever time remains of your appointment, and you will be responsible for paying the full length of the session you requested.
    *This time is scheduled just for you and only you which is why I require a credit card on file or prepayment to reserve and guarantee your appointment. However, it WILL NOT be charged unless you do not adhere to the Cancellation/No- Show policy.
    If you do not wish to save a credit card number on file, no problem! You can prepay your service ahead of time. The cancellation/no-show policy will still apply.
    It is my commitment to help you get what you came for.
    Your comfort and satisfaction are my TOP priority!
    If you have any questions, please let me know. I look forward to meeting you!
