Tara Paccillo, LMT, CMLDT

Co-Founder/Instructor
After graduating from New Jersey's Somerset School of Massage Therapy in 2003, Tara had worked in both spa and medical settings. It didn't take long before she wanted to break free and go off on her own. So she did! Tara opened Rebalance Massage Clinic in 2006. She has years of experience working in leadership roles of BNI chapters in NJ and is an excellent LMT, herself. With Tara's keen business knowledge and her respect for the profession, Rebalance has grown to employ 6+ employees. She stays in touch with grassroots by continuing to work alongside her team. One of her main passions and her reason for building Rebalance was/is to help people find relief from their pain and the stress in their lives.

A Word from our students

Supporting stronger networking
through continued education.

The NMT for Trigger Point Therapy class was incredibly informative and I would highly recommend! Jen's expertise in massage and extensive knowledge of human body is truly commendable and allows her to provide valuable insights and guidance to her students. Not only is she well-versed in the technical aspects, but she also possesses a genuine passion for her craft!
