about our practice
West Side Wellness, LLC is a woman-owned and run massage therapy practice. We've been in business since 2011. We have a professional but relaxed practice in a beautiful office on the West Side of Providence (near two bus routes). We're open daily, and we see a wide variety of clients, from people who want to relax, to people with chronic injury and pain.
September 24, 2020: We're looking for a licensed massage therapist. We believe there's a lot of work to be done to decolonize the field of wellness. We therefore energetically encourage applications from people of color, LGBTQIA people, neurodiverse people, disabled people*, working class people, and members of other marginalized communities.
*Disabled LMTs: if you're out there, you worked damn hard to get to where you are. If you have good energy and bring presence to the table, we'll work to provide whatever accommodations you may need.

things to know
While we do provide relaxation massage, we also attract clients who are looking for therapeutic help with injuries or chronic issues.
We sometimes do short sessions; some people book frequent short sessions to better resolve their complaints. We need our therapists to be comfortable doing effective short sessions – even just 15 minutes. We can train you if needed.
