Ana Figueiredo has been practicing massage & bodywork since 1996. She has studied in Europe, Thailand and the U.S. and is licensed in Pennsylvania.  She has created & taught workshops for other massage therapists as well as having introduced new treatments to numerous spas in Philadelphia.  She is a WEALTH of information when it comes to the body, it’s anatomy, physiology and function in movement.  


Ana is the kind of therapist who gets excited to learn new things about the body and how we can affect its wellbeing. She is constantly reading new books, finding new teachers and discovering new ways to help her clients. She truly LOVES the work which is what sets her apart. She approaches the body as a whole and understands that pain in one part of the body may be a symptom of an issue in a different part.


She uses a myofascial approach by working with the connective tissue & assessing the tension patterns throughout the whole body in order to deliver the most optimal treatment. She is also very tuned in to the energy body and can work in very subtle but effective ways to balance these systems.


Ana is trained in Craniosacral Therapy, another very gentle but powerful therapy which works to balance the nervous system as well as the musculoskeletal system through subtle manipulation of the bones & fascia of the skull, face,  spinal column and sacrum.

  

Her other training includes Myofascial Release, Traditional Thai Massage, Thai Acupressure, Prenatal Massage, Medical Massage, Reflexology and so much more!

REVIEWS for my massage services

I had the most wonderful bodywork and holistic care that I’ve ever received at Metta Body Therapy. Despite being fully booked, Ana was gracious enough to fit me in at the last minute. I’d been suffering from severe and immobilizing neck pain, and it was such a relief to not have to wait even one day longer to receive care. She was extremely communicative throughout the entire session, gentle when she needed to be yet firm when the treatment called for it. I felt very relaxed and cared for throughout. She was able to relieve a lot of the muscle tension and pain, which gave me a range of motion that I had not had for days. When she determined that the root cause was a chiropractic issue, she took the time to call her trusted contacts and find me a highly recommended chiropractor. I am so grateful to Ana for the kindness and healing she offered to me when I needed it most.

Anna has been doing my massages for over 10 years and has always responded to whatever my aching muscles need at that time. She is very trained in various massage techniques which allows her to tailor the massage specifically to your individual needs. Her calming and friendly spirit are an added bonus and keep you at ease and quiet your mind. Anna is the ONLY one who successfully treated my back pain. I treated my husband to a 1-1/2 hour Myofascial Stretch Therapy massage and he stated, “I can actually feel my posture is better and I’m finally standing straight!” Needless to say, he too is an Anna follower now. Thank you Anna for your dedication to your clients and your craft!

Ana is a highly skilled therapist. Both sensitive and strong. She is trained in a number of techniques and clearly knows her way around the body. She is able to discern what is going on internally and address issues that you might not even have been aware of! I highly recommend her!

The overall massage was awesome, but also she gave me advice on other things that could improve my overall health.

I highly recommend both Ana and her rejuvenator for back, neck and head. This is deep work. My entire body was re-aligned; walking felt different. The effect is both instant and lasting. It was as if Ana was in conversation with my body, listening and guiding.

She was very intuitive on my needs and I walked out feeling very drastically improved. She really hit on my pressure and tension points. I was having a rough day and it really turned it around.

Ana has a skilled, therapeutic massage technique that I can tell has been developed over many years as a practitioner. Ana has pulled from many styles of massage to find what works for me and has always made my comfort and preferences her top priority while keeping me informed of what she's doing and how she understands my muscles to respond to the work. If you're looking for a massage therapist who will take the time to learn your body and work with you to get you out of pain, in a better posture/position, and to feel good walking out of her studio, book a massage with Ana today!

My back, neck and head were treated to the best care by Ana. This is an area of chronic distress for me, so much so I don't always realize had messed up it is. In just 60 minutes, Ana made a huge impact on the mobility and comfort I experience. Next time I'm signing up for 90 minutes.
