About

The Practice

Lion’s Mane Massage was born out of a love for massage therapy and a desire to serve the Greater Pittsburgh community as wholly as possible. This practice revolves around the idea that massage is healthcare, both preventative and restorative, and that it should be accessible to everybody. Your lived experiences in your body, both on and off the massage table, are the basis for all of the work we do in a session. Massage is a deeply collaborative experience at its best, and is most beneficial when rooted in awareness and intention from both therapist and recipient. With a heavy focus on education and referrals to complementary specialists and healthcare providers, my greatest hope is that you will leave my office with the tools to exist more sustainably in your life.

The Therapist

My name is Abbie Desiderato and I’ve been a Licensed Massage Therapist working professionally in the Pittsburgh area since 2019. I graduated from the Pittsburgh School of Massage Therapy in December of 2018. Since then I’ve taken several additional trainings in modalities including Prenatal Massage, Manual Lymphatic Drainage, and Kinesiotaping. In the future I hope to deepen my understanding of Myofascial Release and possibly expand into movement and other holistic wellness offerings.

The Space

Lion’s Mane Massage currently operates out of a cozy second-floor shared office space in Regent Square.
