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 listened carefully to what I needed for the session and solicited feedback afterwards to make sure I was comfortable and everything went well.

Cait is really a top-of-the-line masseuse. She uses the perfect amount of pressure and does some stretching as well. Best in Philly!

Amazing massage experience. Felt like I was in good hands the whole time. The pressure applied was the perfect intensity. Cait really worked well with my injuries. It felt both productive and very relaxing at the same time.

Hello there! This is Al and I use they/them pronouns. I am a graduate of The Academy of Massage Therapy and Bodyworks in Pottstown, PA and have five years worth of experience working as a licensed massage therapist.. My expertise is in helping clients manage discomfort from acute and chronic conditions as well as from anxiety and stress. I take a client centered approach in that every massage session is tailored to meet your needs. When you work with me, you will notice that I incorporate integrative bodywork drawing from various modalities, such as myofascial and deep-tissue. Communication to me means establishing clear boundaries with my clients and allowing them the opportunity to make decisions and choices about the direction of their care plan. I have found that respecting a client's autonomy is the best way to foster therapeutic relationships. This speaks to my deep commitment to providing quality care that is both safe and affirming to diverse populations within the community. Whether this is your first time getting a massage or you know exactly what modalities and techniques work for you, I will meet you where you are at in your healing journey.

by Sophia on Oct 03

Al is amazing at what they do. So grateful to have them as a professional for message therapy. I visited them yesterday and by the end of the 90mins I fell asleep! They are very kind and considerate of how people respond to touch and do frequent check-ins to make sure their clients are comfortable. Thank you!

Very professional and friendly. Listened attentively and did a great job.

by Graham on Jul 19

I can't recommend Al enough! Both in our experience this summer and last summer, they were kind, respectful and really took the time to make sure my partner and I had a good experience. I really enjoyed the scent we picked out and Al listened to my feedback throughout the massage to make sure it was working for me.

by Anonymous on Jul 09

Ali was excellent! Very skilled and professional! I felt very listened to and Ali was totally open to any adjustments in pressure and made it so comfortable to ask. A wonderful and deeply relaxing experience. I felt like I had spent the day on the beach after 1 hour. Only gave 4 stars for ambience because I didn't love the music.

by Anonymous on Jul 06

Always checks in in a really great way from things related to massage pressure to what I may not be comfortable with. I feel comfortable saying what works for me, without anxiety, and I really appreciate that. Massages are always 10/10 as well!

by Isaac on Jul 03

Al was fantastic. Very accommodating and skillful. They were able to identify areas that needed extra work and everything felt amazing.

Hello, my name is Rachel, and I am a massage therapist based in Philadelphia. My massage style combines traditional Swedish massage with deeper cross-fiber friction techniques. I believe that open communication between client and massage therapist is key to a great massage, and I tailor each massage to the individual’s unique needs. Massage can help clients become aware of their body and start the healing journey. I find it rewarding to be part of that process. When I’m not at Sanctuary, I’m pursuing my passions for visual art and comedy.

I left really sore, but not in a good way. I felt like while he was very nice, the massage itself was not relaxing nor therapeutic, and he didn't always know what spots to target.

Thomas is an intuitive massage therapist who thinks about "what your muscles need."

by Anonymous on Aug 07

Thomas is an amazing massage therapist! He was so thorough and helpful, found all sorts of trouble spots in my back and was very helpful talking through what he was doing and answering questions I had. The whole experience was very relaxing & professional. I left feeling incredible, would absolutely recommend Thomas to anyone.

Honestly was one of the best massages I think I’ve had. Very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable.

Stretching was phenomenal

by Valerie on May 15

Thomas was great! He didn't talk a lot (one of my pet peeves when getting a massage) and followed the instructions I provided about likes and dislikes to the letter! Would definitely get another massage (or 10) from him!

This is a good, unpretentious spot for a massage just off of South Street. The space is quite bright (my only reason for giving 4 and not 5 stars for ambiance - I personally like a dim light quality so I can really relax) but it's surprisingly large and the location cannot be beat.

It was a calming, relaxing environment that catered to our needs respectfully. I really felt at ease during this massage.

Everything was great. It was a hot and humid day outside, but inside it was very pleasant.

I love the new space on 9th St! I love having the option of either 2nd St. or 9th St. I've worked with several therapists at Sanctuary and I would recommend scheduling with anyone available. Most recently I've had sessions with Cait and she has been supportive and attentive to my specific massage therapy needs. I'm booked with someone different in 2 weeks and I can't wait!

I have loved going to Sanctuary on 2nd and was excited to learn of their expansion to another location. Unfortunately, the 90-minute prenatal massage I got was... Not very good! The only question the provider asked me before we started was about if any particular body parts were hurting - nothing else about my pregnancy, pressure I prefer, what oils I like/don't like, etc. The pillows (to enable side laying) were underwhelming and made for a less comfortable experience than I've had in other places. There was a thicker lotion used in this massage which I didn't like as much (and was different from what I expected, given the awesome oils at the 2nd Street location). And I'd describe the massage itself as an expensive back rub. The provider's hands were shaking throughout (which I share tenderly, as it makes me nervous/concerned for her) and she was also sniffling, which made me uncomfortable, as I was wondering if she was sick.
