Candace J. Mickens is the lead massage therapist of Sacred Touch Body Work. Her mission is to re-connect the body with the mind and spirit through enhancement of body awareness and various body modalities in a safe, secure environment. She is licensed in both Maryland and DC for Massage Therapy.

She is adept at delivering Deep Tissue and Swedish Massage Therapies via table or chair, but her speciality and passion is in Thai Massage, which is done fully clothed and on a mat, on the floor.  She has received training and certification at the prestigious Wat Po- Chetawan school in Thailand, in addition to several other certifications in Thai Massage from the United States.  The mantra “Touch is Sacred” is the guiding force of these activities.


Candace is also a certified yoga teacher (RYT 200) and has studied West African Dance, QiGong, and the Martial arts. She regularly incorporates movement into all of her bodywork activities and she is regularly invited to be a guest speaker at group events centered around women's empowerment, safe, non sexual touch, body awareness and movement, at private settings, healing ceremonies, clinics and community outreach programs.

I'm so appreciative of Candace's care and wisdom. I always leave feeling reconnected and grounded, in a loving way, to my body after bodywork with her!
by Stephani on Mar 20
I really appreciated Candace's introduction of herself, her work, and her journey. It made me feel very safe, aligned, and connected.
by Nyasha on Mar 16
This was the best body work experience that I have had in my life!
by DeAnna on Dec 13
I really appreciated her walking me through the process before she began, since this was my first time receiving a Thai massage. Then after the session we discussed my experience. This further increased my level of comfort and trust.

Having Candace do your massage is a must. I feel great after having the Thai massage and I'm hoping to have it done again.
by william "Phresh" on Sep 08
Life transitions, physically pain and clarity release were all of the intentions that were set before my session…. Yet, I received so much more. I was able to surrender myself to the present moment and learn to trust Candance as she connected to my body to help with realignment and emotional release. There is much more that i experienced but I have to keep that with my ancestors and I. I am extremely thankful to have connected with Sacred Touch Bodywork

Candace released the tight spots that I was even aware of because she is in tuned with you and how you respond to her touch. I have already scheduled my next appointment!
