Judith Gabriel Integrational Bodyworks

Overview

Judith Gabriel Integrational Bodyworks is an established integrative bodywork and therapy practice specializing in massage, breathwork, and holistic therapies, including infrared blanket therapy marketed as an accessible alternative to traditional sauna experiences. Operating for 37 years in the Reading-Berks-Philadelphia areas, it emphasizes well-being, stress relief, and emotional release through intuitive, hands-on, and breath-based modalities. The practice is led by Judith Gabriel, a certified therapist with a background in education who transitioned to bodywork after personal recovery from a severe accident.

The overall atmosphere is calm, nurturing, and introspective, conducted in a warm, comfortable, quiet in-home studio in Alsace Township. Clients lie on specialized tables or the floor with pillows, accompanied by soft music. Sessions foster deep relaxation, empowerment, and integration of body, mind, and spirit, promoting a sense of bliss, aliveness, and self-control. It’s by appointment only, with no walk-ins or same-day bookings, encouraging mindful preparation.
