Meet Shashi Lodhia, LMBT, CMLDT – Founder of Wake Medical Massage
North Carolina Licensed & Certified Massage Therapist
Founder, Wake Medical Massage, LLC
I'm passionate about helping people feel more at ease in their bodies. My journey into massage therapy began with my own experience living for years with persistent back discomfort from a herniated disc (L5/S1). After discovering how therapeutic bodywork could ease tension and improve mobility, I was inspired to dedicate my career to supporting others on their path to comfort, recovery, and balance.
Today, I combine advanced clinical training, hands-on experience, and a client-centered approach to provide care that respects both the science and the therapeutic value of skilled touch. Some clients seek help recovering from surgery or injury, while others simply want relief from accumulated stress, tension, and the physical demands of everyday life.
