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 End 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.
April, 2022: We're looking for licensed massage therapists. 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, and members of other marginalized communities.

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.
