Frequently Asked Questions

Prior to your session, you will be sent two forms to fill out. One is my policies and the other is an intake where I gather information about your health history and your goals for the session. When you arrive, we will have a brief chat where I will ask specific questions so that I can tailor your session to meet your needs. This will also give you time to ask any questions before we begin.
For TMJ or tension headache sessions, please wear a comfortable, loose-collar shirt that allows easy access to your face and neck. However, if tension is found in the shoulders, you may be asked to undress from the waist up and go underneath the sheets.
For targeted sessions (such as a session focused on the hips), please wear clothing that allows access to the area while still maintaining modesty. Men can wear athletic shorts and women can wear athletic shorts plus a tank top or sports bra. For full body sessions, you will be asked to disrobe (to your level of comfort) and go underneath the sheets.
Although I allow ample time between sessions, I ask that you arrive no more than five minutes before your session.
I am the owner of my business and have set my pricing so that tips are not necessary. However, please feel to leave a review or refer a friend. These are just as valuable as tips!
I am located at 2961 W. Liberty Ave., Dormont, PA 15206
My office is in the same building as Dunkin’ Donuts. There is a dedicated, paid parking lot with ample parking. You can use quarters, debit/credit cards or the MeterFeeder app for payment. There are two pay kiosks. One is at the corner of the lot at W. Liberty and Wisconsin Ave. The other is located in front of the liquor store under the awning. There is no charge for parking after 6 p.m. or all day on Sundays.
You will enter on the ground floor through the door marked 'OFFICES' (it is the door to the left of Dunkin’ Donuts). Come up the stairs and take the hallway to the left. I’m the first door on the right – Suite 212-B.
There is no charge for cancellations that are requested more than 24-hours in advance of your session. Cancellations with less than 24-hours notice will be charged the full session rate.

"My first session with Allisa was incredible, and I was left speechless at how much relief I felt afterwards! She was attentive and checked in frequently. It was clear that she is an expert, as she was asking all the right questions and guessing my lifestyle habits. She provided an at home treatment plan that is very accessible and easy! I'm looking forward to seeing her again!"

Amber P.

"When I first started seeing Allisa, my TMJ was so bad I could barely open my mouth and had constant migraines. After one session, I had immediate relief. After working with her for a few months - I have almost no issues on the TMJ front. I recommend her to everyone I know. I have been continuing to see her on and off for almost a decade. She is fantastic!"

Oka T.

"Really awesome! I’ve had a bunch of TMJ massages and this was much more comprehensive and a better massage."

John M.

"Allisa is smart and super helpful connecting the dots of injuries and trauma. I’m looking forward to working with her more! I loved her optimistic energy and very unique trigger point style massage."

Kirsten L.

"I have been a physical therapist for over 13 years, and in one hour Allisa taught me so much about the jaw, neck, tongue that I wasn’t aware of. She is definitely an expert on the jaw and neck, as well as posture and biomechanics. I got so much relief and valuable information from just one visit! If you are having jaw issues - go see Allisa ASAP!"

Tai V.

"Allisa is absolutely fabulous at what she does. I have a pretty physically demanding job, and she puts me right back together every time. I would highly recommend her to ANYONE!"

MKC

"Very knowledgeable and able to address and customize appointment based on pain points/needs of that day."

Erin F.

"A true miracle worker. Anyone who suffers from TMJ or jaw clenching pain knows the how much it can affect your day-to-day life. Finding Allisa has been such a game changer and true gift to my life. Don’t hesitate to book your session with her!"

Laura P.

"After my first visit, all I can say is ‘Phenomenal!’ Allisa was able to discern issues I was having that I wasn’t even aware of. Skilled and thorough with such a pleasant demeanor - Allisa will definitely be a part of my health and wellness journey moving forward!"

Bobbi D.

"I highly recommend her for TMJ or any jaw related issues. I walked in barely able to eat and having chronic issues with my jaw from past issues. I left being able to yawn in the first time in months, I was smiling nonstop, and I feel incredible. She takes the time to listen and offer ideas to help you after your massage."

Emme H.

"She’s absolutely phenomenal. Extremely thorough in her assessment of you and your current physical status, extremely knowledgeable in her content, always explains what she’s doing and why, creates a warm and welcoming environment, and leaves you feeling your best. Cannot sing my praises highest enough."

Emily B.

"What I appreciate most about Allisa is the way she helps me consider my body mechanics in everyday life as it relates to my health. My initial complaint was TMJ pain, and Allisa is teaching me that TMJ (or most anything else) can’t be looked at in a silo. She is friendly, professional, and courteous. The variety of techniques she’s used to help so far have opened my eyes to different forms of treatment and a deeper understanding of how body and mind work together. Today was the first time anyone had used hot stones on me — GAME CHANGER. The frankincense and peppermint aromatherapy were a nice touch too."

Billy K.

"I started seeing Allisa a few years ago when I was having around 3 migraines a week. Migraines were a constant part of my life—I planned around them, worried about when the next one would hit, and was willing to try anything for relief. Now I have maybe 1 migraine a quarter and rarely even fill my medication. I went from migraines being a part of my daily life to barely thinking about them at all. She has quite literally changed my life, and I couldn’t recommend her more!"
