About Us

“I don’t see this as a career. I see this as a mission.”

Silbia, CMT, CMLDT, is the founder of Feeling Great Massage and Lead Massage Therapist with over 30 years of experience. Licensed by the VA Board of Nursing, Silbia is a Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist (Vodder technique), a Certified Prenatal Massage Therapist, and a Member of the American Massage Therapist Association.

Silbia has a wide range of experience acquired throughout her career. She’s received physical therapy training in Peru, pursued cupping massage training in Beijing, and in the US, she became a licensed massage therapist. Her journey led her to work for many years at clinics alongside chiropractors and physical therapists before founding Feeling Great Massage in 2014.

Silbia enjoys nature, and in her free time, she adventures on hikes whenever possible. She also enjoys reading, so having an interesting book handy is a must! She has a strong passion for her work, so she is constantly looking to learn more about anatomy and physiology to better understand and treat different conditions.

Silbia’s goal is to help others understand how their bodies work, how to avoid injuries, and how to recover if an injury already happened.

“What I like the most about this profession is the opportunity to continue learning about the human body. Understanding how it works allows me to help others.”

“Massage Therapy is a passion of mine ever since I was a child, that makes me want to help and educate others about their own bodies and specific needs. I became an LMT because I wanted to help people feel better.”

“If you can’t go out to enjoy nature, bring some indoors. Nature provides a sense of peacefulness to help relax your mind.”

Andrea is a graduate from Le Cordon Bleu with a Pastry and Baking degree. She worked in bakeries and fine dining restaurants for over ten years before joining Feeling Great Massage full-time.

​While in the food industry business, she used massage therapy to help her body take the physical demands of the job. After leaving the world of pastries, Andrea took this position with a mind set to helping others feel their best inside and out.

​In her free time, Andrea enjoys taking care of her cat Louis and her “indoor-nature”, which she has incorporated into our lobby.
