About Us
Our clients' needs are of the utmost importance. Our entire team is committed to meeting those needs. As a result, a high percentage of our business is from repeat customers and referrals. Furthermore, each practitioner below is an Independent Contractor, working cooperatively with others at Albany Healing Arts. In this sense, we are more of a co-op of like-minded healers, rather than than a spa or salon with a "staff" of employees. You can just feel the open, free and relaxed "vibe" at our space!
Robert Cuozzi, E-RYT, HeartSpace Holistic Founder & Director
Intuitive Healing with Thai Yoga Therapy, Restorative Yoga, Whole Body Nutritional Cleansing & Diet Consultations - (518) 827-7242
Robert's work is unique in that it is extremely intuitive, rather than overly routinized or systematic. Incorporating decades of experience, study and practice in the areas of nutrition, cleansing, yoga, Tantra, Ayurveda, meditation, metaphysics, subtle anatomy, intuition and psychology, each session is distinctive, and suited to the particular energetic pattern of the client. Many have described profound shifts from chronic pain to wellness -- even after the very first session. Healing is a subjective experience, of course, and as such Robert does not purport to diagnose his clients. Instead, he aspires to guide each client toward their own wisdom mind -- or inner knowing. Through mindfulness and loving-kindness clients are empowered to take the leading role in their own recovery and healing. Robert's work was highlighted in a cover article in Albany's Times Union.

I utilize techniques from each of these modalities in order to customize the session to fit your individual needs.

Director of
Synthesis Yoga & Massage Therapy
“I believe that true healing springs from a place of
compassion and self-acceptance, and
aspire to offer such a space for my clients. Through my massage and yoga
practices, I aim to support others in connecting more readily with their true
selves – which I define as a core integrated sense of self, combining physical,
mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of one’s being. From this connection
often comes helpful insights, deep relaxation, potential solutions to
conflicts, and, in some cases, deep transformation. “
