Hollace Detwiler

I am a PA State Licensed Massage Therapist in Philadelphia. I have been practicing massage & bodywork since 2006. I absolutely LOVE what I do. I feel so grateful to have found my calling & passion in life. I worked in the live music industry for years before getting into the healing arts world and although it was fun in many ways I remember observing the musicians and envying their passion for what they did. I wanted to find that for myself. I wanted to find that thing that I was really good at, that I loved doing and that I could have a positive impact on others with. When I went to school for massage therapy I knew I had opened the right door. Having been an athlete when I was younger, playing almost every sport there was, I always felt connected to the physical body and movement. In high school I thought maybe I would end up in some kind of sports science or be an athletic trainer. As it turned out, I took a very round about path to eventually end up in the world of healing arts but I believe I landed exactly where I was meant to. I am fascinated with human anatomy and how all the cells work together & communicate to create such a complex system as the human body. We are like walking universes. I believe that the power we have to heal ourselves and help heal each other through hands on therapies is way beyond what most people in the Western world recognize yet but I do believe that we are on our way. My goal is to continuously enhance my skills and evolve my practice to help facilitate healing to the best of my ability. Eventually I would like to teach others to tap into their innate ability to facilitate healing as well.
