"I believe that no one has to live with pain. 

It is from this belief that I practice my profession. 

 I believe in miracles."

Thank you for visiting.  I'm Cynthia van der Smissen and I am a licensed massage therapist specializing in Soft Tissue Mobilization and Myofascial Release.

I have been in massage & therapeutic bodywork practice since 1994 and the owner of A Quiet Place in Texas from 1995 through 2008. In 2009, after Hurrican Ike visited the Gulf Coast, I relocated to Pennsylvania where I am now employed by Lehigh Valley Health Network in addition to my private practice.

I have always been a different sort of therapist in that I had the highest client recovery rates in the Greater Houston Area. Because of this, most people that come to me with a specific issue see resolution in 3-4 visits. This means that I don’t see the same people over and over . . .but my waiting room is never empty, as satisfied client referrals keep my schedule full.

I have done over 14,000 Bodywork Sessions during my 16 years of practice and  am a Professional Level Member of the Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals. 

I am the author of the book, STOP THE PAIN Step-by-Step Emergency Relief Made Easy. I am also the founder of the self-help emergency relief workshop for the non-professional, entitled STOP THE PAIN! LVHN is scheduled to begin sponsoring these workshops in the fall of 2010. 

JUST IMAGINE . . .
