Transform and facilitate healing, one massage at a time.

Roxanne Gelado's journey into massage therapy began with a personal need for healing. A past injury led her to discover the transformative power of massage, igniting a passion to share this wellness practice with others. Roxanne firmly believes in the body's innate ability to heal and sees massage as a powerful tool to facilitate that process. She strives to create a safe and nurturing space where individuals can reconnect with their bodies, find relief from pain and stress, and embark on a path toward greater well-being.

Roxanne's dedication to her craft is evident in her comprehensive training and experience. She holds a diploma from the Professional Clinical Massage Program at South Eastern Institute in Charleston, and her educational foundation extends beyond massage therapy. Roxanne also boasts a Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish Education and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of Illinois in Chicago. This unique blend of academic backgrounds provides her with a holistic understanding of the mind-body connection, enriching her massage therapy approach.

With five years of experience in chiropractic massage settings and previous work at the Center for Therapeutic Massage at MUSC, Roxanne has honed her skills and developed a deep understanding of the human body. She specializes in deep tissue therapeutic massage, particularly focusing on addressing neck, shoulder, and low back pain, areas where muscle tension often accumulates.

Roxanne's commitment to ongoing professional development is reflected in her continued education, which includes certifications in Reiki I and II, further enhancing her ability to provide a truly comprehensive and healing massage experience. She is also a student of neuromuscular bodywork under the guidance of Steve Jurch, constantly expanding her skills and knowledge base.
