Welcome to Cardinal Massage Therapy
Customized multi-modal massage in Charleston, WV. Mindful bodywork designed to restore balance and groundedness.
Meet Annilyn
Annilyn has been a licensed massage therapist since 2019. After completing a 900-hour program in Monaca, PA, and earning her Reiki certification, she moved to West Virginia in 2023 to pursue homesteading and holistic living.
She believes that when the body is in a relaxed state, it begins to heal itself. Her sessions artfully blend Swedish relaxation with therapeutic deep tissue and Reiki to reduce pain, muscle tension, and discomfort while restoring your sense of self.
Outside the treatment room, you'll find her gardening, canning, tending her animals, or wandering the West Virginia wilderness — the same patience and presence she carries into every session. No two appointments look alike: she listens to what your body is holding that day and shapes her approach to meet you there. Her goal is simple — that you leave feeling invigorated, refreshed, and more like yourself than when you walked in.
