Where Therapeutic Meets Relaxation....
About Me—
Hello! My name is Victoria.
I am a Licensed Massage Therapist & Bodyworker, and Body Sculpting Specialist, located in Durham, North Carolina. My passion has always been to help others. I have always been very intrigued with the human body, how it works, and its incredible ability to heal itself, which ultimately brought me to my path of massage therapy & bodywork. While learning this skill, I completely fell in love with it. Being able to feel muscle tension simply dissolve under my touch brings me great satisfaction, along with also helping my clients experience a host of other whole body health benefits.
I like to create an individualized experience that is customized to each client's needs. During each session, I will intuitively listen to your muscles (and other soft tissues) through my touch, and let them guide me to use skilled techniques that will relax and melt away both physical and mental tension, and give your body the safe space to heal itself - thus relieving aches, pains, stress, and discomfort caused by everyday life and other factors.
Although I primarily do massage therapy and bodywork in my private practice, I also perform certain body sculpting services for clients such as "skin tightening and rejuvenation", as well as others. My journey as a body sculpting specialist began in the fall of 2020, and I have helped many women and men reach their body goals.
Seeing my clients leave happy and feeling better is indeed the highlight of all of my sessions... I thoroughly enjoy what I do.
I look forward to helping you feel your best and holding space with you soon!
*Always remember: ...You deserve to feel good in your body, and your body deserves some love... *

INFANT & KIDS MASSAGE
Children of all ages from birth on up can benefit greatly from massage, this includes well, premature, and those with special needs.
Some benefits:
- Improves weight gain in premature/NICU babies
- Improves their circulation of blood and lymph
- Enhances immune function
- Helps them form a strong & positive body image and body awareness
- Improves digestion & alleviates stomach issues
- Eases growing pains
- Enhances sleep quality
- Helps with both mental and physical growth development
- Relieves stress and anxiety, and soothes stressed out children and teens
- Helps with breathing and lung function

- Relaxes them both mentally and physically
- Promotes healthy emotional well-being
Those are just a few of the list of benefits backed by scientific evidence and studies.
Massage is also very beneficial for children and teens who are active in sports and other activities. It helps their muscles recover and reduces soreness, improves blood flow which helps promote faster healing and recovery of their bodies, helps prevent injuries, increases their flexibility and range of motion, reduces their stress, and helps with their coordination and body awareness.
I offer this service to children ages 11-17 (*18 if still in high school, otherwise a regular adult appointment will have to be booked). I also offer one-on-one in person classes to parents, guardians, and other care givers (grandparents, etc.) who want to learn how to properly and effectively perform massage on their children (newborn and up) themselves. An online digital class will also be available late July-early August 2025 to learn in your leisure, from the comfort of your own home.

“I braid hair for a living, and my hands, forearms and lower back are always in pain and my hands cramp a lot and go numb. Since I started my sessions with Victoria the pain numbness and cramps has decreased sooo much in 2 sessions! I will continue to come to her! It's good to find a massage therapist that is nice, sweet and knows how to help you. ”

"Victoria has helped my back, neck, and shoulders tremendously!! I've had trouble in these areas since I was a teenager and she is the only person to soften up my very tense shoulders and give me my neck back lol. I have to see her every single month or my upper body is right back stiff and in pain. ”
