Nia Wellness Oasis , Dodge Ave, is a tranquil place for clients to find their path to compassionate healing. The studio, which opened in January, offers therapeutic touch and wellness services in a supportive and empathetic environment. Nia Wellness provides a variety of healing modalities, and caters all treatments to the individual client.
She also offers wellness coaching, education programs and vibrational sound therapy. Washington has over 21 years of experience as a massage therapist, a profession she came to by chance.
As a former actor, she wanted to pursue a job that allowed her to have a flexible schedule. She discovered massage, and immediately fell in love with anatomy. I love studying people. I can tell if someone sits at a desk for too long, is in the car all the time or if they play sports. Certain lifestyle habits, like wearing a cross-body bag or sleeping on their stomach, can present symptoms of imbalance as well.
The benefits of massage therapy are myriad and well documented. It can reduce pain, increase circulation, improve sleep and boost the immune system, to name a few. While a treatment usually improves symptoms immediately, Washington is committed to providing clients with the tools to achieve lasting wellness.
A national board certified health coach, Washington also offers virtual and in-person coaching for people in transformative stages of life. She aspires to give back to the community by eventually hosting free, monthly Wellness Education sessions that address chronic diseases such as diabetes, stroke and hypertension. Nia Wellness Oasis also offers vibrational sound healing, a technique that uses therapeutic singing bowls to promote tranquility.
