My name is Michael Parente. I am a Florida State Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT), and Owner of Celebrate Wellness, LLC.

Celebrate Wellness provides services at two convenient boutique locations in St. Petersburg, as well as Mobile Massage servicing the St. Petersburg and Tampa metro area.

Locations:

Sensorric Spaces:

1105 7th Avenue North St, Petersburg, FL 33705 (Located across the street from St. Anthony's Hospital in St. Petersburg)

Soul Purpose Wellness Guild:

675 30th Avenue North Suite 101, St. Petersburg, FL 33704 (Located next to Body Electric Yoga Studio in St. Petersburg)

Mobile Service Area: St. Petersburg and Tampa, FL.

As a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT), I am also a Certified Holistic Manual Lymphatic Drainage (C-MLDP) Practitioner for Pre/Post Surgery, and I have been Certified to provide VA Medical Massage through the Veterans Administration VA Community Care Network (CCN). I am also a Certified Yoga Instructor through the International Yoga Alliance and Certified Breathwork Practitioner.

Additionally, I am a practitioner of Reflexology, Reiki, Meditation, Mindfulness and Transcendental Meditation (TM).

Due to the nature of scheduling requirements, massage services at my locations of Sensorric and Soul Purpose are limited to the appointment duration scheduled. If time permits, I may provide additional complimentary time/service. Mobile massage services can provide increased flexibility with regard to end time, allowing me to address other areas that require attention.

As a mobile massage therapist, I come to you - your home, resort, office or even at the beach, I bring a complete spa environment, including; massage table or chair, linens and massage products. All massages include soothing music and aromatherapy, and optional short duration of guided meditation, guided breathwork, and Himalayan bowl sound bath. This practice helps regulate your parasympathetic nervous system to greatly enhance your massage experience. A relaxing Theragun percussive therapy may also be provided at the end of the session to aid in increased blood flow and relaxation.

Please note; A $15.00 travel fee will be assessed for mobile services provided in the Mobile Service Area. Travel fees for services performed outside the Mobile Service Area will be determined based upon the service address.

Unlike traditional Mobile Massage Therapy providers, I don't use a timer or a clock to bump you out of your massage. It's important for me to address your issues, and as a result, I normally stay for an extended period of time (at no additional cost) to provide relief and create a lasting massage experience, not a rushed massage.

My word for the year for 2025 is 'ascension'; The harmonious alignment of body, mind, spirit and energy, fostering growth, balance, and ascension in all aspects of life.
