NOLA Massage was founded by Amy Nicole Stewart LA3118 in 2006. She finished her initial massage training in 2002 and became a licensed massage therapist in 2004. Until 2019 Amy worked most of the time as a single practitioner. She began with an idea to build out a space for other massage therapists to expand their craft and share their work and passion. Currently at this studio we have three massage therapists who are licensed and insured and one private yoga instructor. At this studio every session is given the entire time on the table. Many other places offer 50 min or 80 min treatments. Here at NOLA Massage you will always have the entire 60, 90, or 120 (except for cases where the client is running late and another appointment is booked after). All therapists have a half hour between clients and use some of that time to talk to clients and give suggestions for aftercare and clean and disinfect the area.

Amy is best known for her deep and intuitive pressure integrated with Thai style stretching and compression which make for a balanced body and massage. She also practices with cups, Graston technique, cupping, reflexology, Orthopedic massage, and myofascial treatments. Her style is very unique and she is able to adapt it to any person's needs. She loves teaching therapists she works with and also loves to continue learning and is always working on some course to continue her education. Amy has studied massage with masters in Thailand, Mexico, New Mexico, California, New York, and Florida. She looks forward to the end of Covid so she may go travel for more hands on training, though the ease of access online has allowed her to continue studying this entire time.

During these times we are very serious about protocols and screenings for Covid. Our Staff is tested regularly and monitors their temperature daily. We ask anyone who may have any symptoms to please reschedule. We will waive any cancellation fees for illness or suspected illness. We also require everyone wear a mask and we will provide one if you need one. We have hepa/uv filters in every room. We also spend time disinfecting and cleaning between each session (which is something we always did before and now we are just more diligent and allow disinfectants to sit longer). We also have water proof sheets and covers underneath regular sheets which are changed between sessions. We are taking every precaution possible.

We have just moved our location Uptown into our own space. After using mixed building space for the last several years we are happy to have our own dedicated space in a historic home on Magazine Street. The new address is 5207 Magazine and we will be giving this website a new look very soon so that we can tell you more about our other therapists, our in network acupuncturists, private and semi private yoga sessions will soon be available, and more. Amy has also been learning a new style of cupping therapy and has bought a Vacucupping machine and we will soon have that, Normatec, and Biomat available. Thank you all for your patience during these trying times, these moves have not been the easiest but they are for the best.

The new website is currently being built (finally-we have been waiting on some final proofs and updated photos). We are also hoping to switch our booking system soon. Please always use our website which will take you to the right place. www.nolamassagetherapy.com

Thank you so much for the support and the patience during the last two years of pandemic, loss, and growing pains. We are all feeling these things.

We will soon have the bios of each massage therapist/bodyworker and yoga instructor. LMTs below are listed in order of years of experience. Book online or by calling or texting 504.777.4030 or email info@nolamassagetherapy.com
