Your Trusted Massage Therapy Partner in Pittsburgh
At Sole Sanctuary Massage, we believe nurturing touch is healing for every person at any stage of life. With over 15 years of experience as a licensed massage therapist and eight years operating a successful studio, I have dedicated my practice to restoring balance and promoting holistic wellness. My journey began at the Pittsburgh School of Massage Therapy, where I discovered my passion for effecting positive change through therapeutic touch. In 2022, I expanded my expertise by completing a specialized course in geriatric and hospice massage through NCBTMB Approved Provider Elizabeth M. Erbrecht, LMT. This certification has deepened my ability to provide compassionate care for seniors and hospice patients, both through Sole Sanctuary Massage and my work with UPMC's Family Hospice Services.I integrate diverse modalities like Ashiatsu Bar Therapy and Swedish Massage to address individual needs, whether in-studio or through in-home visits. My practice emphasizes personalized care, combining energy work and technical skill to deliver tangible physical, mental, and emotional benefits. From prenatal massage to cranial therapy training, I continually refine my craft to offer comprehensive healing solutions. Every session reflects my commitment to helping clients rediscover comfort, rejuvenation, and a renewed sense of well-being through the transformative power of massage.
