Lydia Mandell

Licensed Massage THerapist

Lydia is a Licensed Massage Therapist that has been practicing in the Philadelphia area for over 7 years.  Her background in the healing arts began with Thai Massage- where she trained at Lotus Palm, the Thai Massage School in Montreal. She earned her massage therapy certification from the Philadelphia School of Massage and Bodywork in their 700 hour program. She has continued her studies to include cupping, prenatal, myo-fascial release, craniosacral therapy, along with deep tissue massage. She is a practicing member of the AMTA (American Massage Therapy Association).  There is always a very integrative, therapeutic approach to each of her client's treatments, and is able to customize to each client's needs on a personal level. The majority of her work is based on the concept that the body has the ability to heal itself, and she serves as a vessel for each person to find that healing space within. Lydia and her husband, Jake live in Elkins Park with their adopted blue nose pit bull, Nala.  

Want to try Craniosacral therapy?
Check out what people are saying:
"​Biodynamic craniosacral therapy with Toby is a bodywork experience unlike any other! Consisting of far less physical pressure than most methods, you will feel her work penetrate to far deeper layers than just muscular, transporting you to a deep and relaxed meditative state of being. I myself was amazed at the deep calm and peace I felt and I carried this with me for quite a while after the session was over.
It's a unique and wonderful experience you have to try!"
