My deep respect for the power of human touch was developed by how my
mother nurtured me as a child. I remember with fondness those wonderful
moments when her soft fingers floated over my face lulling me into a
sweet sleep. During my college years, many of my friends would come to
me for head massages because they claimed I gave the best! Little did I
realize in the late 1970s that massage therapy would become a viable
career choice!
As I was pondering a new life path twenty-years ago, I visited a
naturopath’s office and was struck by the ambiance of gentle music and
the aroma of essential oils filling the air. I knew then that I wanted
to work in such an environment. Combining my respect for human touch
with the desire to create a calm and serene environment, I set off in
the direction of pursuing massage therapy as a career. By that fall, I
was enrolled in the Pittsburgh School of Massage Therapy. Since
completing the program in 2004, I have worked in a wide-range of massage
settings - the chiropractic office, day-spa, corporate work place, and
nursing homes.
A massage specialty I have pursued is
oncology massage. I’ve witnessed the wonderful effect touch had upon
my mother and best friend, both of whom were diagnosed with cancer. I
have worked with the Integrative Wellness Program at UPMC Hillman Cancer
Center and on a pediatric oncology unit at Pittsburgh Children’s
Hospital. I have also worked with hundreds of terminally ill patients
in-home, inpatient, and in nursing homes with Family Hospice and
Palliative Care.
At Selah Massage Therapy, I offer
Swedish massage for your relaxation; trigger point therapy to release
tight knots which might be causing you pain; pregnancy massage to
provide comfort for your body as you grow a new life; and hot stone
massage to melt the tension right out of your muscles. Please see our
menu of services. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I am not offering
oncology massage at this time.
I am so pleased to welcome you to Selah Massage Therapy. A place created for you to exhale, relax, and rejuvenate!
