In this modern fast paced society we continuously burden our body, mind and spirit with phenomenal amounts of stress, pressure and toxins but fail to provide adequate means to cope. So why are we then surprised when our bodies weaken unable to deal with the challenges, resulting in common modern ailments presenting disease and dysfunction. At Touch Therapeutic massage it is my philosophy that massage is part of the solution...allow yourself the journey towards regaining better health. Massage can be incorporated into a preventative or maintenance plan, complimentary to modern medicine and treatment. Abida Wahla, Certified Massage Therapist My passion for health, wellness, and a firm belief in alternative therapies combined with work in health promotional activities  lead me to massage therapy over 20 years ago, originally graduating in Scotland from a two year program in 1991, and more recently I received my certification in Massage Therapy from the Northern Virginia School of Therapeutic Massage in 2009. I am Nationally Certified and licensed by the VA Board of Nursing.
