Meet MVBWN SpotLight Member; MaryBeth Ritenour, LMT
MaryBeth Ritenour, LMT is a licensed Massage Therapist and the owner of Mohawk Valley Healing Therapies.
A 2018 graduate of the Onondaga School of Therapeutic Massage in Syracuse, MaryBeth specializes in helping clients overcome chronic pain and stress through a holistic and personalized approach to care.
MaryBeth’s journey into massage therapy was shaped by her own health challenges. In 2019, she had rotator cuff surgeries on both shoulders. In March 2020, she opened Restore You Massage. Despite the pandemic shutting down after just two weeks, she persevered and reopened in July 2020. By August 2022, she rebranded as Mohawk Valley Healing Therapies to reflect her expanded expertise beyond massage, focusing on comprehensive therapeutic solutions.
Before becoming a therapist, MaryBeth spent over 25 years in the IT field, troubleshooting complex issues for corporate clients. Known as "the pitbull" for her persistence and problem-solving skills, she now channels that same determination into finding effective solutions for her client's pain and stress.
Having lived with chronic back pain for over two decades due to a disc herniation, MaryBeth deeply understands the toll pain takes on quality of life. Her mission is to help others find relief without relying on medications or surgery. Her personal transformation began with the guidance of a skilled massage therapist who not only alleviated her pain but also became her mentor, inspiring her to help others in the same way.
MaryBeth has since dedicated herself to lifelong learning, far exceeding the state’s continuing education requirements with over 260 hours of advanced training. Her certifications include Neural Reset Therapy, multiple levels of CranioSacral Therapy (including Unwinding the Acupuncture Meridians), Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Cupping (including scar cupping), Gua Sha, Healing from the Core energy work, Reiki, and Quantum-Touch Energy Healing. She continues to expand her expertise, with two additional CranioSacral Therapy courses planned this year.
MaryBeth’s practice is built on empowering her clients. She takes the time to educate them about their bodies, ensuring they understand the root causes of their pain and equipping them with tools for long-term relief. She works with clients of all ages—from teenagers to individuals in their 90s—and finds joy in helping people regain their abilities and improve their quality of life well into their later years.
For MaryBeth, the most rewarding part of her work is witnessing the transformation of her clients as they achieve pain relief, stress reduction, and a renewed sense of vitality.
