Credentials & Training

I’m Alana Sanchez, a Licensed, Registered, and Certified Massage Therapist with over six years of experience in bodywork and holistic healing. My journey began at The Finger Lakes School of Massage, where I graduated in 2019. Since then, I have pursued continued education, earning additional certifications and refining my skills in various massage techniques. Through ongoing training and hands-on experience, I have deepened my ability to offer personalized care that supports both physical and emotional well-being.

Philosophy & Mission

Massage therapy is more than just a practice—it is a form of integrative medicine that promotes healing on multiple levels. I believe that the body holds not only physical tension but also emotional and energetic imbalances, which can manifest as discomfort, pain, or fatigue. My mission is to help clients release tension, restore balance, and reconnect with themselves through therapeutic touch. Massage is one of the oldest known healing modalities, and I am passionate about blending ancient wisdom with modern techniques to help my clients feel more aligned, grounded, and at ease. Whether you are looking for relaxation, relief from chronic pain, or emotional healing, I am committed to guiding you on your wellness journey.

Techniques

Every session is customized to meet your individual needs, drawing from a variety of techniques I have mastered over the years. My approach includes manual massage, cupping therapy, Thai yoga bodywork, and assisted stretching, all of which work together to release muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote deep relaxation. My signature massage combines intuitive touch, deep tissue work, and sleep-inducing strokes, allowing the body to fully unwind and heal. Cupping therapy helps stimulate blood flow, loosen adhesions, and relieve inflammation, while Thai yoga bodywork incorporates passive stretching and rhythmic pressure to increase mobility and energy flow. Through these modalities, I help my clients achieve a greater sense of balance and harmony in their bodies.

Safe Space

At Ancient Wellness Massage Therapy, I have created a calm, sacred, and judgment-free environment where every client feels safe and supported. I take the time to listen to your concerns and tailor each session to address your unique needs. You will never feel rushed in my office—I believe in holding space for deep healing, allowing you to truly let go and be present. Whether you are experiencing physical discomfort, emotional stress, or simply need a moment to reconnect with yourself, I am honored to provide a welcoming, nurturing space where you can relax and heal.

I invite you to experience the transformative power of massage therapy and take the next step toward your well-being. Your body deserves care, and I am here to support you on your journey.
