Antonio J. Merlo LMT, BA
A New Jersey native, Antonio received his degree in Ornamental Horticulture (1989 Bergen, NJ) and a B.A. in Environmental Studies with a minor in Geology (1996, Ramapo, NJ). After years of working in plant culture, design and propagation he pursued his next dream and became a Licensed Massage therapist in 1998.
He practices in New York & New Jersey as an LMT, Sound Healer, cranio-sacral & reflexology practitioner. Antonio studied Solfeggio Healing frequencies & SOMAENERGETICS with David Hulse in 2003/2004; studied under Dr. John Beauliea (Osteopath, Research Scientist and creator of BioSonics) and taken training at the International Sound Healers Association.
Antonio created Tonal Massage in 2004, a specialized modality incorporating crystal and Tibetan singing bowls as well as other sound instruments, with physical body healing practices. That same year, he introduced AuqaTone, a deeply immersive sound experience in which participants float in a pool alongside ringing crystal bowls, allowing the water to surround each person with healing vibrations in a very tactile way.
Antonio's work has been featured in The New York Times and The Jewish Week as well as other publications.
He facilitates group sonic meditations for yoga studios, elderly care facilities, meditation circles and universities in and around New Jersey and New York. He is also an accomplished photographer.
"I just love how the sound and vibration effect the brain and body in a way that opens so many doors for change in perception! It allows for those Ah-Ha! moments!"
At festivals and live events, Antonio enjoys giving massage to the beat of the music, where people leave feeling refreshed and joyful.
