Hello! I’m Susan Desiderio, a graduate of Immaculata University with a degree in Psychology and a passionate advocate for holistic health and wellness. My journey began as a mental health therapist, working in residential facilities during the transition of patients from New Jersey state mental hospitals. After the birth of my three children, I shifted focus, returning to school to become a licensed massage therapist while also earning certifications in Pilates and yoga instruction.

In 2004, I founded my own massage therapy business after graduating from the National Massage Therapy Institute. Over the years, I have expanded my expertise, obtaining certifications in hypnotherapy, Yoga for Sobriety, and Medicupping, as well as achieving the titles of Reiki Master and Holistic Lifestyle Consultant specializing in Ayurvedic Wellness.

My Mission:

I am dedicated to helping clients manage the effects of stress on their mind, body, and spirit. Drawing from over two decades of experience in wellness and rooted in the principles of Ayurvedic science, I offer holistic health counseling to guide individuals in understanding their unique constitution and restoring balance. My goal is to empower each person to take charge of their health and wellness by offering healing touch therapies, teaching mindful movement practices, and providing personalized lifestyle support. Through an integrative approach, I blend bodywork, postures, stretching, relaxation techniques, breathwork, and Ayurvedic-informed coaching to support vibrant, lasting well-being.

Professional Achievements:

Throughout my career, I’ve been recognized as “Best of Massage in South Jersey” by the Gloucester County Chamber of Commerce. I’ve worked with diverse populations in various settings, including home care, rehabilitation centers, chiropractic offices, and fitness facilities. As the Wellness Director at a South Jersey drug and alcohol rehabilitation center, I developed a groundbreaking wellness department that introduced holistic methods to support patients in their recovery journeys.

Current Practice:

My studio is located in Uptown Pitman, NJ, where I provide personalized services to clients. Additionally, I subcontract wellness services to rehabilitation facilities, extending the reach of holistic healing practices.

Beyond the Studio:

When I’m not working with clients, I enjoy gardening, creating in my art studio, and hiking with my partner. I firmly believe that a balanced approach to wellness serves as preventative medicine and is the foundation of good healthcare.
