Aliyah (pronounced Ah-LEE-ah) comes to us as a licensed massage therapist and graduate of Eastern College in Halifax, Nova Scotia, where she completed a comprehensive 2,200-hour diploma program. She furthered her clinical training with an intensive 5-week traditional Thai massage program at the Sunshine School in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and holds additional certifications in cupping therapy, hot stone massage, Indian head massage, and spa body treatments.

Ashaiah

Medical Massage, Oncology, MLD, Deep Tissue, Swedish, Relaxation, Therapeutic, Trigger Point, Prenatal

Ashaiah (pronounced Ah-sha-ee-ah) is a dedicated massage therapist offering a range of services from relaxing Swedish massage to specialized chronic pain management. Skilled across the full pressure spectrum, from light to firm, she has a natural affinity for deeper work — clients most often praise her deep tissue and lymphatic massage, a reflection of her meticulous attention to detail and her constant drive to expand her knowledge of the body.


Ashaiah's true passion lies in medical massage, including lymphatic drainage, prenatal massage, deep tissue work, and trigger point therapy.

 

Her path to massage therapy began in the sciences. She originally pursued biology in college with an eye toward medicine, but found her calling in a field that let her combine her natural compassion with hands-on healthcare — without the difficult conversations that come with clinical medicine. Once she discovered that massage therapy offered both deep healthcare knowledge and a more balanced, grounded lifestyle, she committed fully: enrolling in massage school, spending a full year immersed in the study of human anatomy and physiology, and passing her MBLEX before beginning her career.

 

Ashaiah continues to be inspired by how much there is to learn — and she's excited to bring that knowledge, care, and skill to every session.
