“HEALING DIFFERENTLY”

At first, glance, if you haven’t met her and I’m not around, you’ll be apt to begin a casual conversation with her. She’ll listen and interact, and at some point, you’ll likely wonder why I’m not responding to you in a way you’d expect.

She will wait for a moment to hear you and THEN EXPLAIN – “You MUST know my Twin Sister!” You’ll stare blankly, say you didn’t know I had a twin, and everyone has a laugh!  Yes. We are Identical Mirror Twin Sisters. And even though we look alike, we still have different personalities, interests & sets of friends. So, this is how our friends usually meet the Other Twin.

Jacqueline Bontzolakes earned a Bachelor’s in Social Work at Daemon College and worked at the Erie County Department of Social Services. She attended the University of Buffalo & earned credits toward a Master’s in Social Work. Massive layoffs in 2009 removed the security she once felt in having a government job.  She was eventually called back, but during her unexpected leave, she started to explore avenues that would NEVER again leave her wondering about her future, taking care of children & paying bills. 

Her search led her to the New York Institute of Massage. I vividly remember helping her juggle clinical school, nurturing two children, and growing a 3rd baby! She had that baby and still went to school within a week to complete clinical to avoid waiting a year to take the boards! AND She Passed the Boards! She was not playing!!

She formed Diamond Therapeutic Arts, LLC and went Full Time AND on Faith after witnessing difficult & toxic situations at work.  Jacqueline is a Natural Healer. Her Drive & Dedication to helping people heal naturally is as unceasing as it was 16 years ago! She’s not only MASSAGING them. Many of her customers confide in her for personal struggles. They go to her for advice on nutritional supplements, skin care products, exercise regimens, and health & wellness recommendations. Some even come to know her as a True Friend.

She’s been rated “Top Pro” on Thumbtack, a platform for customers to order from professionals. She’s also rated 4.4/5 on Facebook. You can check these platforms for her reviews and make appointments. She’s the First of ONLY therapists I would EVER book an appointment with, and not because she is my twin sister. Her hands magically find the areas that you didn’t even know hurt. Once that area is addressed, you realize that prevented you from moving another body part. It is an experience that confirms that our human body is interconnected. 

I chose to honor her this month because we are Celebrating 48 Years on the Earth Side on June 4th, and if you see her show, send her some Birthday LOVE! For those of you who ARE Ready to Heal Differently and want or need to LOVE Yourself, book an appointment; I promise — YOU WILL NOT regret it!
