Personal Note from Me
I have devoted my life to guiding individuals of all ages—women and men alike—on their journey towards cultivating self-trust, confidence, and holistic well-being. Through the practice of holistic medicine and spiritual work, I focus on helping individuals heal body, mind, and spirit by addressing the root cause of disease and mentally releasing unhealthy patterns. My approach is rooted in the belief that true healing occurs when we align these aspects of ourselves.
Working with each person is an honor, and I tailor specific, holistic plans that address their unique needs for lasting transformation. I am deeply committed to the principle that the body has an inherent ability to heal itself, and through holistic medicine, we can tap into that power to restore balance and well-being.
While I am open about my past, I am not defined by it. My purpose is to inspire others to release their own past, envision a new and empowered self, and focus on creating a future filled with joy, mindfulness, and holistic health. Like many of you, I have faced and overcome significant challenges, navigating through emotional exhaustion, anxiety, stress, and overwhelming burdens. These experiences led me to introspect, take responsibility, and ultimately redefine my personal narrative.
It was through this personal journey that I discovered my calling to help others transform their lives. In helping others, I found my greatest joy and passion. Remember, you are the storyteller of your own narrative, and through the practice of holistic medicine, you can shape the pivotal moments and chart your path toward a fulfilling and harmonious life. Together, we can work to ensure that your story is one of health, happiness, and spiritual fulfillment.

Deanna Scaldaferri
Hello! I'm Deanna, and my mission is to provide a safe, trusting space where you can be authentically YOU. Whether you're seeking massage, energy work, or coaching, I understand that these practices can put you in a vulnerable position. That's why I ensure that you feel safe, comfortable, and never judged. Trust and honesty are the foundation of my work, and I intuitively guide each session to meet your body’s, mind’s, and spirit’s specific needs.
A Bit About My Journey
My journey into the healing arts began with my graduation from the Finger Lakes School of Massage in Mt. Kisco, NY, in 2016. There, I completed an extensive 1,000-hour program that encompassed both classroom and clinical training, equipping me with a variety of massage modalities. Following this, I pursued advanced training in Hot Stone Massage, Oncology Massage, Reflexology, and energy work, continually expanding my skill set to better serve my clients.
In 2019, I began working as a Reiki practitioner, and by 2021, I had advanced to become a Usui Holy Fire Reiki Master. I absolutely love blending massage and Reiki energy healing into one—it's such a beautiful combination that offers profound healing on multiple levels.
After several years of working in both spa and medical environments, I decided to branch out into my own business in 2021. Now, in 2024, I’m thrilled to be joining the team at Blue Root, where I will continue to grow my practice by incorporating transformational life coaching alongside my massage and Reiki offerings. I’m excited to bring my passion for healing and personal growth to this new chapter at Blue Root, and I look forward to working with you on your journey to wellness.

I combine these techniques with Reiki Energy Healing To create a holistic experience that addresses both the physical and energetic aspects of well-being.

In addition to massage and Reiki, I also offer Transformational Life Coaching to help guide you through life’s challenges and align your actions with your goals. My Archangel Oracle Card Readings provide intuitive insights to help you gain clarity and understanding on your path.
A Little More About Me
When I’m not working, my three teenage boys keep me active and on my toes. You’ll often find me on the sidelines of a soccer field, in the bleachers at wrestling matches, or backstage at theater productions, cheering them on and supporting their interests. If there’s one thing I strive to teach my children, it’s to be true to their authentic selves and never let anyone dull their sparkle.
I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to be of service to others. Whether through massage, Reiki, or coaching, I am here to support you in finding peace, balance, and fulfillment in your life. It is my honor to walk with you on your journey to wellness, helping you discover the strength and resilience within you to live a life full of joy and vitality.
