Moving in March!

Goodbye Garfield, Hello Squirrel Hill!!

Thanks for everything, Garfield!
I've enjoyed the time we've shared in the Garfield studio over the past two years. It's been so nice meeting new people in this area, and being a part of so many amazing businesses and artists, and sharing space with Tend & Nourish.

So why are we moving?
I'm always learning new techniques and modalities, and the more I expand on these I've realized I need more physical space to grow. I'm also very excited to be more a part of my own neighborhood and connect with the community in Squirrel Hill and Greenfield.

A little about the new space
The new location is at 2033 Murray Ave (Murray & Hobart), and we'll be all moved in at the beginning of March. Our space is located directly above Equity Realty on the second floor. To access the space, you'll take the stairs in the parking lot on Hobart and our door is at the top. The parking lot isn't for our use, so free parking is available on the side streets, and paid parking on Murray ave.

Accessibility is very important to me, and because the new space has stairs, I'll be offering mobile massage for folks that need it. There will be limited availability, so reach out to me directly to schedule a mobile massage if stairs are a barrier for you.

Thanks so much for continuing to grow with me over the years, and I'm looking forward to sharing the new space with you!

Lots of love,

Frankie

Hello beautiful community!

S**t is getting really scary out there, and I know a lot of folks are really worried about how they’ll afford a lot of things, including food. Some friends and I have made a commitment to stock our little local food pantries and libraries in the city. I just stocked the little lime pantry at Grace & Peace Presbyterian Church (located on the side of the church).

If you need food, please take it! If you have enough and want to help, please consider stocking this or other pantries in the city.

I love you so much, Pittsburgh! We’ve got you.

I am so grateful for the experiences we’ve shared, honored that you continue to choose our work together, and looking forward to what we’ll discover and uncover this new year.

Welcoming in 2025, the year of the Hermit. Wishing you a time of introspection and reflection, inner peace over drama, self-prioritization, slowing down, and soul nourishment.

This is a VERY delayed announcement, but better late than never!

Back in August I traveled to Austin to visit my very good friend and talented maker .shop, who very lovingly hosted me while I took one of the more challenging trainings of my life.

And yep, I’m now officially certified in manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) by the Academy of Lymphatic Studies!

My goal with this training is to focus on working with q***r & trans folks post top surgery, helping to ease discomfort, decrease recovery time, and be a gender affirming support person. I’d also love to work with folks that are living with cancer, chronic pain, and other conditions where traditional massage might not be accessible.

I’ll also be taking an advanced training next month to dive even deeper into post-surgical procedures that focus on the chest area.

If you’re interested in learning more about MLD or working with me, please reach out via email or text! I’d be happy to chat with you.

Our New Studio in Garfield

We've been in our new space for a month, and we're loving it! It feels so nice to be on this side of town, have more room to stretch out, and are so excited to start hosting events soon! Keep your eyes out for more updates coming soon.

Some new things we're offering

We've upgraded your session experience!
Instead of using a traditional table warmer, we've upgraded to a Richway Biomat! It is a combination of far infrared rays, negative ions and the conductive properties of amethyst crystals, helping to relieve muscle pain, reduce stress and many other benefits all while keeping you warm and cozy. Click here to learn more about the Biomat.

We've also added on hot towels to your feet for a relaxing close to the end of your session.

Add-ons
Add extended fascial cupping to your session which involves sliding the cups along a group of muscles to help release tension, in addition to leaving them stationary to allow more blood flow and movement to a specific area.

Add on 15 minutes of extra relaxation time either before or after your session to fully soak in the benefits of the biomat and even take a little nap.

60 minute focused massage
We're now offering a 60 minute session that's a great option for folks on a budget, someone looking for relaxation that doesn't experience much chronic pain, or folks who only want very detailed work like focusing on shoulders, neck and jaw.

Rate increase

Due to rising costs, we'll be raising our rates. Please let us know if this will be a barrier to you receiving treatment. We're always willing to work with you to make sure you get the care you need.
