Cait was the BEST and she put me to sleep like a baby. She offers comfort in delivery of excellence in customer service, kind spirit and healing hands!!! Thanks to Sally and the spa for being open and keeping us well.
Atmosphere so peaceful

Everything! That was the best massage I had gotten in a very long time. The atmosphere was very relaxing and Kristie was amazing! She explained the entire process and asked which techniques I would prefer to ensure that I actually felt some relief in my shoulders and back. I wish they were located in New York, but I’ll be back to philly now especially to visit Kristie again!
Nice, clean, and comfortable and feels warm.

I graduated from Finger Lakes School of Massage in 2009 and have been working with Sanctuary on 2nd since 2011. My holistic massage style includes but not limited to traditional swedish integrated with deeper muscular and connective tissue therapies. I also love working with hot stones especially when clients have specific goals for a session. I believe massage can increase self awareness and is an important addition to aiding an individuals overall healthcare goals. When I'm not at Sanctuary I spend most free time sculpting, biking and supporting my friends in there artistic endeavors.

Cait took the time to speak with me about how I was actually doing and was genuine, serene, and had a wonderful sense of awareness. She is a great listener and has incredible skill as a therapist. Every bit of my experience with her was professional, comforting, and absolutely on point. Nothing felt rushed and time was very well balanced. She is therapist I have been looking for for years. I look forward to seeing her again!

I am drawn to massage therapy with the idea that the body has an inherent ability to heal itself, and I as the therapist am here to facilitate your healing. As a yoga instructor and energy practitioner, I've witnessed and felt the beauty of bodywork by creating space physically, mentally, and energetically. As a result of our daily lives, the body becomes tense and filled with toxicity. In my massage technique, I try to find areas of tension and use various massage modalities to create that necessary space in the muscles and joints. This increases blood flow and relaxation, thus increasing the body's flexibility and natural healing. I enjoy working therapeutically as well as for relaxation, and you'll find my work is an even combination of the two, unless specified otherwise. I received my schooling through the Academy of Massage Therapy and Bodyworks in Pottstown, PA. Apart from my love of bodywork, I also have a love for body modification, going to shows, traveling, and biking around the city. Looking forward to meeting and working on you!

Kristie worked on me for exactly one hour. She explained the process and asked if i had any questions or concerns and also explained which techniques she’d be incorporating into the massage. She’s very competent and made sure that I was relaxed and not experiencing any pain when she moved or started a new technique. I will be visiting and booking with Kristie again in the future!

by Louis on Oct 05

Kristie was awesome first time with a couple session and I really enjoyed it. She did great on pressure and found all the tight spots that I always have. Felt amazing when I left. Will definitely be returning.

by Tiffany on Sep 22

Kristie was amazing - she was extremely attentive to my needs and problem areas and I left feeling like a different (more functional) human. I would highly recommend this place - and will be doing so - to everyone I know. Thank you again!

Kristie is one of the best massage technicians I have ever had!

by Joshua on Aug 31

kristie made me feel comfortable & assuaged any feelings of anxiety i had going in to only my second massage in life. looking forward to more massages in the future & consequently not looking like a dummy.

by Irene on Aug 21

I can not praise Kristie enough! She is skilled and knowledgeable. She always puts me at ease and I feel completely safe and relaxed with her. She does an amazing job! I walk in the door a tense ball of stress and I leave feeling so relaxed and good.❤️

by Amanda on Aug 11

Kristie is the best I’ve been going to her for years. Before, during, and after pregnancy. Doesn’t matter what your issue is or if you’re just looking to relax Kristie can do it and fix it. Highly recommend always!

Kristie clearly knows what she is doing. I felt like my needs were heard and addressed.

Hello! I graduated from the Philadelphia School of Massage and Bodywork where I focused on Swedish, deep tissue, and integrated massage. I use these techniques as a framework; I have a deep trust in and honor for the body's ability and desire to heal itself, and I consider myself a facilitator on my clients' journeys. Beyond my massage education, I draw upon experience as an artist, an athlete, a coach, and a collaborator in order to provide an experience both relaxing and therapeutic. It is a privilege to be able to do this work and to assist others.

by Carl on Oct 12

Meghan is fantastic at her job. I have had many massages and she is the best by far. She is very consultative in her approach before doing any work. My issue is something a bit different but Meghan used her own time after work hours to learn about my specific needs and now we are seeing positive results. It puts me at ease and shows she truly cares.

Meghan was such a great Therapist. Made me comfortable and reassured me that she would take care of me the whole time. I'm ready to book again.

I see my massage practice as a natural extension of a life-long interest in holistic wellness. I strive to create a safe and welcoming space for all people, where we can create the right conditions for your body to do its own healing work. I draw from a multitude of modalities in each session, and using the tools at our disposal, you and I can work together to facilitate mental, emotional and physical wellness - whatever that means to you. I am especially drawn to work with trauma survivors and chronically stressed individuals. I received my bodywork education from the Philadelphia School of Massage and Bodywork, and I am a RYT-200 certified yoga teacher. When I’m not working you can find me playing with my children, reading, tending my ever-growing collection of houseplants, taking long walks through the city, or doing nerdy things with my friends!

The inside of the building is great. The music and the scenery helped put me into a melancholy state. The thing I didn't like about the building is how 'secluded' it is. Admittedly, I'm not terribly familiar with the landscape of Philadelphia but there are no obvious signs of the spa location. No sign of the company name plastered on the building or something similar to that nature. To be fair, there is a sign inside a building next to a window showcasing a deal, I believe and the address number is clear to see for anyone using GPS to track the building down.

Coming back after months away, it was a gift to get out of the house and to be given such beautiful body work in such a safe environment. The pandemic has turned the world upside down and my experience at Sanctuary and specifically with Cait felt very safe. Cait has strong hands, and great energy (and my muscles truly appreciated it). Many thanks.

The blinking lights on the music device were a little distracting. Otherwise it was wonderful. Cait did a great job as usual! And your strategies and protocols helped me feel safe.

by Peter on Jul 2020

Especially during COVID, I was very hesitant about this. But since both of us were wearing masks, and continually sanitizing, I felt comforted. Also the extra steps to make sure I was one of the only other clients in at that time, put me at ease as well. Wearing the mask was a little uncomfortable face down, but I took it as an opportunity to focus on my breathing throughout the massage. Cait was communicative and intuitive about the problem areas in my body, and I felt an immediate difference after my appointment. Sanctuary on 2nd is such a cute and tranquil place, I literally felt like I was at home.

The "Sanctuary" is not fancy...more Old World kitch. The focus seems to be on therapeutic massage rather than decoration. I also enjoyed the music played during the massage. It had a beginning, middle and end. . . much better than the usual "sounds on a loop" which make me feel like I am drowning rather than relaxing.

I liked that the staff really seemed interested in making sure they discussed areas of concern, areas that needed more/less focus, even down to the scent of the oils. Throughout the massage they checked in to see how the pressure/oils/overall experience was going for the client. They did a great job!

Kelly was an awesome massage therapist, physically intuitive and really found all the knots in my back. I’m a muralist and my back was super tight from a recent installation and Kelly really helped me out. She was very receptive of my needs and would definitely recommend going to her!
