Clearly Connected expands services at wellness center

WHITESBORO, N.Y. — Clearly Connected Life Coaching & Wellness Center recently welcomed two new providers to its location at 327 Oriskany Blvd. in Whitesboro.

Jacquelyn Klossner now offers medical-based craniosacral therapy and Rene Ciaccia provides therapy services at Clearly Connected.

“I am excited to welcome these two phenomenal providers to the wellness center in support of my mission to help this community live their most Clearly Connected lives,” Clearly Connected founder, owner, and integrative life coach Candice Sturtevant says. Both providers align with her mission to connect mind, body, and spirit to help people.

Klossner began Align.Energy.CST last November in Cooperstown. She describes craniosacral therapy as a light-touch therapy that helps to align, reset, and balance the body.

“You’d be surprised how much just a minor change helps with pain,” she says. It can help with a number of issues including stress, migraines, ADHD, sports injuries, and chronic or acute pain.

A registered nurse, Klossner personally experienced benefits from craniosacral therapy when dealing with chronic pain and more after a carotid artery dissection. Now, she says, her goal is to make the therapy more widely available to the people who may benefit from it.

“My hope in branching out into Whitesboro is to get a more diverse clientele,” she says. “I wanted to make sure I’m in an area all people can get to.”

Klossner is available at Clearly Connected on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Ciaccia, who is available Monday through Friday, has 20 years of experience in the health-care industry and 12 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker. After working as a contract therapist for the past nine years for ICAN, she began her private practice this past January.

“My main goal is to support and empower resilience,” she says, with the ultimate goal of helping people reach their full potential. She treats people of all ages with options including cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical-behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, crisis intervention, suicide assessments, functional-behavior assessments, psychosocial assessments, family dynamics, addiction treatment, and trauma treatment.

Ciaccia says she immediately clicked when she met Sturtevant and visited Clearly Connected and really liked the holistic approach to well-being fostered there.

Since there is no one strategy that benefits every person, she loves the assortment of options available, including the talk therapy she provides. Other services offered at Clearly Connected include life coaching, massage, reiki, and collaborative nutrition-response testing packages.

Sturtevant also operates Clearly Connected Wellness in Motion at 337 Oriskany Blvd., where she offers VXN Dance-Fitness classes along with Zumba with Samantha Sanchez, drumming events with Lead with Rhythm, and plans for more to come.
