Professional Massage Therapy for Body, Mind & Spirit
At Sole Sanctuary Massage, we believe nurturing touch is healing for every individual, regardless of life stage. With over 15 years of experience as a licensed massage therapist and eight years operating a successful studio, I have dedicated my practice to helping clients restore balance and find their center. My journey began at the Pittsburgh School of Massage Therapy, where I discovered my passion for effecting meaningful change through therapeutic touch. Recently, I expanded my expertise by completing a specialized course in geriatric and hospice massage with NCBTMB-approved provider Elizabeth M. Erbrecht, enabling me to offer nurturing touch to those in hospice care through UPMC's Family Hospice Services. This certification has deepened my understanding of how energy and intention can provide respite to those in need.Whether in-studio or in-home, my work focuses on delivering therapeutic benefits that extend beyond physical relaxation, fostering emotional and mental rejuvenation. I employ diverse modalities, including Ashiatsu Bar Therapy and Swedish Massage, tailored to each client's unique needs. My practice is rooted in the philosophy that everyone holds the key to their own healing, and my role is to facilitate that process with skill, compassion, and integrity. From prenatal massage to cranial foundations training, I continually evolve my practice to better serve clients seeking holistic wellness solutions.
