our mission
At West Side Wellness, LLC, our goal is to promote bodywork as a practical and enjoyable form of health care. Since 2011, we've made it easy by employing highly skilled, licensed therapists in a simple setting, providing some of the best bodywork in Rhode Island at reasonable prices: focused, effective sessions starting at $30.
COVID-19 protocols, updated September 8, 2021
Time for more risk reduction strategies. Starting September 13, we will require all clients to either be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, or present us with negative test results. RI does PCR tests for asymptomatic people, so schedule your test 48 hours before your massage appointment. Scheduling a test is pretty easy at the state testing sites. You can show us your vaccination card or test result on paper or on your phone when you arrive.
Additionally, masks must be worn by all clients and staff, in all areas of our office, including the treatment room, regardless of vaccination or test status.
We also ask you to consider your human interactions the week prior to your massage. It would be safest if you refrain from being in close, indoor contact with unmasked, unvaccinated people outside your COVID pod. Close contact is within 6 feet for only 15 minutes. We know none of these measures is a 100% guarantee, but working together, we can greatly reduce the risk of transmitting infection. It didn't have to be this way, but it's time to tighten it up again.

what we still ask of you
If you've tested positive or had COVID symptoms in the last 2 weeks, we won't be able to see you. Please wait till 10 days since symptom onset, 24 hours since fever, and get a negative test before coming in.
We will also decline to work on you if you've been in contact with someone who tested positive or has symptoms, or if you've traveled from outside the US or a hot spot. You must wait for 14 symptom-free days to pass, or, get a negative test at least 5 days after potential exposure. We do not charge for same day sick cancels, but please call to cancel if you're feeling unwell.
By making a massage appointment, you accept the risk of COVID-19 transmission, regardless of abundant precautions taken by West Side Wellness, LLC. By making a massage appointment, you consent to your contact info being shared with the Department of Health should a need for COVID-19 contact tracing arise. We pledge to inform you if that is the case. If you have health conditions that increase the risk of COVID-19 severity, please consult with your physician prior to receiving a massage, and please inform your massage therapist of these health conditions. If you decide to receive massage regardless of these conditions, you do so at your own risk.

what we're still doing
We have all gotten the COVID-19 vaccine!* We're still asking those darn screening questions. We have an ionic, germ-killing device in our HVAC system. Plus, each treatment room has a HEPA/UV air cleaner. We're still sanitizing the massage table, etc., after each session. We do your talking, paying, and rescheduling all within the treatment room, not in the common areas.
*Luis will get his second shot October 1; everyone else is fully vaccinated.

what's in a name?
West Side Wellness is located in the historic West End of Providence; we love this vibrant neighborhood, but we also acknowledge our role in gentrification of a Black/POC community. Additionally, our office occupies stolen Narragansett/Wampanoag land. So, we strive to work against internal and external racism. And there's always more work to do.

"West Side Wellness is kind of a magical place... They possess the secrets of an alchemy that turns knotted ropes of muscle into glorious, golden functionality."
"The studio is beautiful; the atmosphere is quiet, calming, and I always appreciate the mellowing scent there as well as the particular sounds: from the music... to the sound of rain on the rooftop. This is a very special place."
