At Obsidian Wellness it is my mission to resist the idea that massage therapy is a "luxury" meant for solely those who want to treat themselves. While in the past massage has been seen as an indulgent self-care experience, it is actually an ancient practice that has survived thousands of years. Currently massage therapy is recognized by western medicine as a "complimentary and alternative therapy," alongside treatments like acupuncture and chiropractic work, and is used in hospitals around the world, including institutions like John Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, UCLA Health Center, and Wake Forest Baptist Health. 

The wide-ranging benefits of this eastern medicine include increased relaxation, improved circulation, reduced pain, decreased anxiety, better quality sleep, and more. Energetically, bodywork can help you feel more grounded, centered, connected, and rejuvenated. Massage therapy can help people become more comfortable in their own skin and learn to listen to their bodies. Through customized, hands-on therapy utilizing a range of modalities and techniques, detailed treatment planning, and client education, Obsidian Wellness is here to show that massage therapy not a luxury - it is a necessary wellness practice for healing your body, mind, and spirit. 

Obsidian Wellness is a small, minority-owned, woman-owned business operated by Olivia Mitchell, NC LMBT #19169. Olivia is a Winston Salem native who became a licensed massage and bodywork therapist in 2020 and completed her Associate Degree in Therapeutic Massage Therapy at Forsyth Technical Community College in 2022. During her Associate Degree program she was trained in techniques like Myofascial Release Therapy and had the opportunity to work extensively with injured Veterans through the VA. She plans to use this advanced training in order to better serve her clients and eventually become an educator in the field of massage and bodywork therapy. Olivia is also a reiki practitioner with a deep love for both bodywork and energy work as she believes the two systems of treatment are interconnected.
