pay it forward. people helping people...

Back in 2020, we shut down for a few months for the pandemic. When we reopened, many clients chose to stay at home. Some of them asked to donate their pre-paid massage sessions to people in need. So we figured it was a good time to start a Pay It Forward Program, and it's still going strong today. Donate dollars or massage credits to the pool if you have them to spare; withdraw from the pool if you're in need. Simple. 

March 2025 update: since we created the Pay It Forward Program in October 2020, over 200 donated massages have been utilized by some super psyched people who have been saying stuff like this: "Words cannot express the gratitude I have for the contributions you’ve made. These sessions have reduced my anxiety and pain, but most importantly have given me a moment where I don’t have to think about anything. Thank you!"
Two ways to give:

1. If you have pre-paid massage credits with us, such as monthly plan sessions, you can choose to donate one or more to the Pay It Forward program. Just tell us, and we'll take care of it.

2. If you'd like to donate dollars to the Pay It Forward pool, we're taking donations through PayPal. Every dollar will go towards a massage for one of our clients in need.
How to utilize:

To utilize the Pay It Forward Program, call 401-274-2225 to see what funds are available and make an appointment. When you come in for the appointment, just say you want to use the Pay It Forward Program. No questions asked; no financial form to fill out.

We look forward to seeing more of our friends and neighbors. We invite those tirelessly working on the front lines of COVID, racism, violence, and white supremacy, such as: One Gun Gone, AMOR, DARE, SURJ, and the staff at Urban Greens. But anyone is welcome to partake.

The Pay It Forward Program is for those for whom our regular prices are prohibitive. If you're able to pay our regular fees, we ask that you do, so we can keep on trucking in this crazy world. Thank you for understanding. 
"Very queer and trans friendly, which I have never found before so easily. The environment was relaxing from the moment I stepped in and smelled the aromatherapy. Thank you for having the clinic today and making it available to those of us who can't always afford such a needed service. I highly recommend this place to all my friends!"

we make wellness accessible
West Side Wellness is located in the historic West End of Providence; we love this vibrant neighborhood! However, we are aware of our part in gentrification of a Black/POC community.
​And our office occupies stolen Narragansett and Wampanoag land. So, we strive to work against internal and external racism. And there's always more work to do.
