About the Practitioner

Hello!  My name is Susan Desiderio.  I am a graduate from Immaculata University with a degree in Psychology. My passion lies in providing holistic healing modalities to those reaching out for assistance with their health & wellness. The first few years of my career were spent as a mental health therapist in residential facilities following the de-institutionalization of patients from NJ State mental hospitals. Following the birth of my 3 children, I decided to change directions and went back to school to become a massage therapist while also pursuing teacher certifications in Pilates and yoga.  Following my graduation from the National Massage Therapy Institute.  I opened my own massage therapy business in 2004.  Since then I have studied several other holistic modalities leading to certifications in hypnotherapy, Yoga for Sobriety, and Medicupping.  I have earned the degree of Reiki Master and Ayurvedic Wellness Coach.

My mission is to help clients combat the effects stress has on the mind, body, and spirit, and to empower clients to live the life they want by taking charge of their own health and wellness.  I offer healing touch therapy and teach mindful movement as a holistic approach to health care using postures, movement, stretches, lifestyle choices, relaxation and breathing practices.

Over the course of my career in the Wellness Industry, I have been recognized as “Best of Massage in South Jersey” by the Gloucester County Chamber of Commerce. I’ve worked with the public, both individually and in small groups, in a variety of settings, from home care to rehabilitation centers, to chiropractor offices, to fitness facilities.  During my tenure at a South Jersey drug & alcohol rehab center, I served as Wellness Director and created an amazing department which specialized in introducing a variety of holistic methods to assist patients in their recovery.

My studio is located in Uptown Pitman NJ however I do sub-contact wellness services to outside rehabilitation facilities.  

When I’m not keeping busy with my clients you can find me in the garden, working in my art studio, or hiking with my partner. I believe a balanced approach to wellness serves as preventative medicine and is the hallmark of good healthcare.
