Where wellness begins and pain ends

OUR WORK

Welcome. We’re Tess and Abiola, the wife-and-husband founders of @Peace Massage & Bodywork. With over 35 years of combined experience, we unite our individual specializations to collaboratively address your unique health goals, areas of pain, and patterns of tension.

At the core of our approach is the belief that pain is a request for change. Our family practice addresses your body’s pain signaling by blending our distinct therapeutic backgrounds and medical training. Together, we create personalized medical treatment plans designed to meet each client’s needs. Every session is thoughtfully tailored, drawing from a skillful mix of techniques such as deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, Myoskeletal Alignment Therapy, reiki, and other evidence-informed modalities.

Whether you're navigating chronic pain and stress or simply seeking deep relaxation, our work is both precise and nurturing—intended to restore balance, ease discomfort, and support your overall well-being. We prioritize your comfort, offer individualized care, and deliver each session with presence, intention, and expertise. Our goal is for every client to leave feeling heard, supported, and genuinely renewed.

what our clients say

  • “I am a busy Board Certified Orthopedic surgeon practicing Sports Medicine. My surgical practice is very strenuous and puts my body into awkward positions for great lengths of time and I also place strain on my back and neck while lifting patients and manipulating their extremities to perform my surgeries and examinations. This has lead to a lot of pain in my neck, back and throughout my body. I have been able to find amazing relief from my treatments with Tess and Abiola and I have found their expertise and personal attention to my needs as second to none. Not only have I personally benefited from the high-level care at @ Peace Massage and Bodywork, but I have also referred many patients for treatment there as well. I am very cautious who I send my patients to, but over the years, I have found a great level of confidence with the care that Tess and Abiola have provided to my patients and the amazing feedback my patients have given me regarding their time at @ Peace Massage and Body Work.”

    Jill Traver

    In Motion Physical Therapy

  • “As someone who has grappled with chronic illness for over thirty years, finding effective support for my body has been paramount. Tess and Abiola have been nothing short of a lifeline in my healing journey. Tess and Abiola exude a rare combination of expertise and genuine compassion that immediately put me at ease. They are not just practitioners; they are true healers who understand the complexities of chronic conditions. ”

    Amanda Sosa Stone

    Grounding Roots

  • “@PEACE is simply the best massage therapy I’ve been to. I have seen probably 20 massage therapists over the past 10 years. Tess’s combination of strength and understanding of anatomy provide specific and powerful solutions to tight and painful areas. Her upbeat and outgoing personality make her appointments really fun.”

    Bob Hattori

  • “I have lived in chronic pain for over 20 years. My pain presents in the form of a migraine, with all the corresponding symptoms: Dizziness, nausea, light sensitivity, noise sensitivity, etc. But perhaps the most uncommon is my body’s response to constant pain. My muscles tighten in bewildering ways. Every Saturday morning, for one hour, Abiola Washington and his magic hands calm my turbulent vessel. His energy and his practice allow me to recharge my mental, emotional, and physical batteries every week. ”

    Emily Hegel

  • “My favorite Friday of the month is the Friday I get my massage with Abiola, at @Peace Massage & Bodywork. After a tough class at the Bar Method, my muscles need his healing hands. I always feel comfortable, cared for, and in completely capable hands, while on his table. He is able to use the appropriate amount of pressure to meet my physical needs or ailments, while simultaneously making the massage a relaxing experience. After many years of massages at various establishments, I have found a home!”
