Lilac Door Massage is the St. Petersburg, Florida studio of Rachel Garcia, LMT, who specializes in Chavutti Thirumal, a South Indian style of barefoot massage that helps athletes and active adults recover faster and move better. She works with pickleball players, martial artists, dancers, and yoga practitioners from her studio inside the Alternative Therapy Center in the Old Northeast neighborhood. Her approach combines more than 20 years of bodywork experience, a kinesiology degree from the University of Michigan, and training in yoga and Ayurveda, including direct study of the Chavutti lineage in Mysore, India. Sessions are by appointment only, with no walk-ins, and pricing is all inclusive with no tipping.
Rachel’s massage is literally unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I receive massage regularly 1-2x a month from alternating therapists and the deep tension release she provides is incredible to say the least. I regularly train in high intensify weight lifting, conditioning, and jiu jitsu which takes a tremendous toll on my body and mind. I leave Rachel’s massage feeling like a new man ready to continue training hard relaxed, refreshed, and rejuvenated. Her Chavutti is truly special and I can’t recommend it enough to anyone needing to recover and destress mentally and physically from any and all of life’s demands.
Rachel has a deeply intuitive healing practice. From the moment I was in her presence, I felt a rich nurturing energy and she was very thorough in describing her style of massage and what to expect. It is truly cloud 9 experience. Highly recommend to other women looking for a intrinsic healer with amazing communication. Thank you for being so thoughtful Rachel, I appreciate you so!
Rachel and I met because we're both athletes in the same sport. I've been getting different massages for MANY years, but since I moved I was struggling to find a therapist who addressed all of my needs, which are only increasing as I become a more competitive athlete. I was so intrigued when she mentioned Ayurvedic Massage, as, 1.) I never heard of it, and 2.) I have an aversion to feet. The truth is, I got complacent neglecting my self-care, so I chose to take a risk on something different not knowing what the results would be. Rachel did not disappoint. The massage was thorough, relaxing, and left me feeling revitalized. I was concerned about major injuries I have on my shoulder, elbow, and knees, but when Rachel was working on me I felt absolutely no pain at those sites. 24 hours later, I feel more rested and focused. Most importantly, my injury sites have seen a significant reduction in pain and tension (which is a first!). I am so impressed by her, her technique, and the overall experience, and I truly cannot wait to visit her again!!!!
I had an incredible experience with Danielle. Her space is so relaxing and she is is a wonderful therapist. She listened to my concerns and tailored my session to focus on those. Pressure was incredible. Wonderful human. I will be back!
I booked a 90 minute appointment with Rachel Garcia upon visiting Saint Petersburg because a friend who lives there absolutely loves and recommended her expert work! I’ve never tried Charvutti Barefoot massage before but I am always curious to experience different modalities and I was not disappointed! Rachel has excellent skill and fine intuition, and used just the right pressure for my level of comfort, also minding that I have a a diagnosis of osteoporosis and previous history of cancer. To be expertly massaged with bare feet feels quite different compared to hands, the curves and angles of the foot provide a feeling of different textures and sensations. I especially enjoyed the effective neck work which provided complete relief from tension and restriction. I haven’t felt that much ease in quite some time! As a working massage therapist in New York City I am always on the look-out for colleagues who are the best in what they do! Rachel Garcia is a rare gem and excellent resource for anyone who wants to take good care of their body and mind. I will certainly book again whenever I am back in Saint Petersburg!
