Carmen Marascalco

My Journey & Dream

In 2004, when I was 19, I moved to Virginia Beach, VA to attend The Cayce/Reilly School of Massotherapy. This was my first giant leap into the holistic approach to health, healing & well-being. I was introduced to a long list of modalities, which I have revisited to apply to my own health care over the last 17 years.  

 

My passion, for working with women & especially the ones crossing the threshold of motherhood, really took root when I became a mother! My dream is to offer these tools for mental & physical support for all women, remembering how they carried me through my pain to wholeness.  

 

I have over a decade of hands on experience using therapeutic techniques to help women of all ages including a focus on prenatal/postnatal massage & wellness. I would love the opportunity to work with you & your loved ones.

Calista, a life-long student, has always had an interest in a w-holistic approach to health and well-being. A health crisis in 2012 served as a major shifting point in her life and guided her to work with a wide-spectrum of healing modalities and a new dream: to support others in finding a soft place to land & return home in their mental, physical & subtle, energetic bodies.

 

It truly sets her soul on fire to work with women in all stages of life & health! From her past experiences & witnessing those of the women in her life, Calista dreams of being a part of a community dedicated to serving and nurturing along each milestone, especially preparing for, crossing into & embodying the stage of mothering. She is honored to have the opportunity to support you on your journey, with a massage experience personalized to what you are needing at that moment!

Hi there, I’m Amelia!
I am a graduate of Cayce/Reilly School of Massage (September 2025) and received my license from the Virginia Board of Nursing on October 15th, 2025. I bring a growing foundation in therapeutic bodywork and a heart full of passion for helping others heal! My mother, a Reiki Master, has helped shape my heart, my spirit, and my desire to bring peace and comfort to others.

 

As someone who personally struggles with anxiety, I’ve experienced firsthand how massage can quiet the mind, ease the body, and invite deeper rest. My passion is perinatal massage-supporting women through both the prenatal and postpartum journey. I also incorporate Swedish/relaxation techniques, myofascial release, and reflexology to create sessions that restore balance, ease tension, and encourage deep grounding. As our studio expands into women’s wellness, I am deeply committed to holding space for women of all ages and stages. There is something deeply healing about women supporting women-about being understood and cared for in a safe, nurturing environment. That connection is the heart of my work.

 

As the team’s mobile massage therapist, I’m honored to bring this care directly to your home, creating a calming, personalized sanctuary wherever you are most comfortable. Although I’m new to the field, I am endlessly curious, devoted, and grateful to grow alongside my clients as we explore the path to healing together. I’m so thankful to be joining this incredible group of women - Carmen, Calista and YOU! I can’t wait to support you on your wellness journey.
