Our Team
Cynthia McCright, LMT
Massage Therapist & Co-owner
Cynthia combines deep listening with her vast expertise to create tailored, supportive sessions for each individual in her massage practice. She loves to work with clients who have yet to receive professional massage therapy, as well as those who may have had a less than satisfying experience in the past. By working largely in a theta brainwave state, Cynthia facilitates a unique space where you can tap into your subconscious, relax, and more easefully restore to your desired physical and spiritual capacity. Clients testify that Cynthia is able to provide relief in ways they did not even realize they needed when they walked through the door. You can feel safely held in Cynthia’s strength, too: she is a Pro-Strong Woman and was 2016’s 4th Strongest Woman in the World. In addition to her education at the Swedish Institute, Cynthia is trained in Breast Massage with Nira Healing Arts, Trauma Informed Body Work, Lymphedema Maintenance, and more, and she is a Member of the SGI-USA Buddhist organization. One of Cynthia’s greatest joys is to help clients “create a framework for how they can use massage to improve their quality of life.”

Simone Burgos, LMT
Massage Therapist
Simone has a special way of working with the root of your body – your belly – that will support your overall health. She worked for many years as a labor doula before diving into massage training and her specialty, Mayan Abdominal Massage. In Central America, Simone studied with midwives from around the world and heard stories of their abilities, despite limited resources, to help women with reproductive and digestive issues in powerful ways. This inspired Simone to bring a similar magic to the table. Her training in manual lymphatic drainage, reflexology, and perinatal care add to her impressive toolkit. While her work benefits everyone, she especially loves helping women to realize a healthy relationship with their bodies. Sessions with Simone have been known to bring prenatal and postnatal comfort, unblock fallopian tubes, and relieve chronic constipation – she also works with women in menopause and addresses scars from cesarean deliveries. She enjoys meeting a client right where they are and can tell a lot about a client’s needs simply by noticing the way they are sitting. If you are looking for a session that will help you embody your powerful earth energy, do not delay in booking some time with Simone.

Chelsea Hecht, LMT
Massage Therapist
Chelsea views their massage therapy practice as being connected to their dance work, in that it’s a continuation of their study of the body. But they go even deeper: “Our bodies have an inherent emotional and energetic tone that is integrated in our tissue.” Chelsea enjoys creating a space where their clients feel supported – she listens closely to not only your words but also your breath. They are curious about the body’s holding patterns, and strives to meet the client’s goals while treating the fascia, mind, and spirit. In doing so, she is able to develop relationships that make her aware of areas in a client’s body that they didn’t even realize needed some attention. Chelsea has prenatal and labor/postpartum certifications under the mentorship of Kiera Nagle. She is an American Massage Therapy Association member, and she also enjoys working with the womb and the uterus generally. They are always happy to provide a safe space for more queer and trans bodies in their LGBTQ+ community, who are seeking a supportive space and a session that respects their boundaries. Originally from Minnesota, Chelsea received their BFA in Dance Performance and minor in Arts Management from SUNY Purchase and continues to be an avid learner of movement alongside their training in deep tissue, orthopedic sports massage, Shiatsu, Swedish, Thai, and Tui Na.

Lindsey Matheis, LMT
Massage Therapist
Lindsey has spent her adult years dancing and choreographing in contemporary repertoire companies, opera, immersive theater, and film. Her love for the holistic started at the beginning of that career through the gateways of nutrition repatterning and practicing yoga. Years and cities later, that inquisitiveness has only spread into the areas of fitness, mindfulness practices, meditation, reproductive literacy, and now therapeutic touch. She officially graduated from Pacific College of Health and Science in 2024.
Her massage sessions incorporate influences from Swedish, Thai, Shiatsu, Ilan Lev, and Yin Yoga. But above technique, she values trauma-informed communication and tailoring each session to meet her clients where they are in that moment / season / era. She hopes to hold up a light so that someone may re-understand what they already intrinsically know within as they walk their concurrent paths of vital inspiration and nourishing restoration. The inhales and exhales of this one precious life.
Outside of Earth + Sky, you can find Lindsey teaching at Modo Yoga NYC.

In this way, Jules is able both to treat a client’s chief complaint while also addressing the underlying causes, helping their treatments to work better and last longer. Their approach is informed by additional training in trigger points, cupping, and traditional Chinese medicine.

Ramiro Rodriguez, LMT
Massage Therapist
Ramiro’s holistic approach to the healing process began in childhood, when he would bring herbs to healers in Mexico and observe their work. His extensive training in perinatal massage, advanced sports massage, and techniques such as Tui Na and Southern Thai massage have added to his conviction in the importance of touch for all humans. Rather than viewing massage as a single pampering experience, Ramiro understands how massage is like exercise: an essential part of the body’s maintenance, with adaptations as the body adjusts. His training in breast and thoracic massage, and his work with nurses, breast cancer patients, and post-surgical clients, gives him a thorough knowledge of the importance of working beyond, to heal injury and pain. Book a session with Ramiro for an approach that is personalized for your body’s age, as well as your unique bone and muscle structure and pathologies – you will benefit from the experience of a highly trained practitioner who also understands the body through his own background as a personal trainer, cyclist, runner, rock climber, and swimmer.

Ivan Solano, LMT
Massage Therapist
Ivan is a Bronx native and an old soul. He says, “The body is the physical representation of the mind. We are light and our bodies are vehicles for that expression.

A practitioner since 2011, Ivan combines his training at the Swedish Institute with a highly creative insight to reconnect his clients with their bodies. With specialties in holistic, deep tissue, and prenatal massage, Ivan loves working with all humans who follow the heart path, and that includes all 12 signs of the zodiac (or 13 signs - if you know, you know). Come in for a session with Ivan to reduce pain, promote relaxation, and maybe learn about his love of muay thai kickboxing, too. His optimistic and healthy outlook on life provides the perfect environment to integrate the care you receive on the table.
