Alexia McGlew

Hi, I’m Alexia McGlew, a Licensed Massage Therapist and the founder of Driftwood Therapeutic Studio. My approach to bodywork blends medium to firm pressure with Swedish relaxation, deep tissue techniques, lymphatic drainage, hot stone therapy, oncology-informed care, and stretch-focused, pain-relief-oriented work. Each session is thoughtfully tailored to the individual — because no two clients are the same, and no two bodies tell the same story.

I specialize in helping clients release chronic tension, ease pain, improve mobility, and reconnect with their bodies in a grounded, supportive environment. Every session is customized — there’s no one-size-fits-all massage here. Whether someone needs nervous system relaxation, focused pain relief, or gentle restorative work, my goal is always shaped by the client’s unique condition and comfort.

My journey into massage therapy started long before I recognized it as my calling. Growing up, my mother struggled with severe back issues and chronic migraines, and the only thing that consistently brought her relief was when I massaged her. She always told me I had a natural gift. As I got older, receiving massage myself and learning more about the science of therapeutic touch opened my eyes to how powerful and life-changing this work can be.

That’s when it became clear: I’ve always wanted to help people, and easing others’ pain while creating a space where every person feels at peace and equal is what I’m meant to do.

At Driftwood Therapeutic Studio, my intention is to offer an earthy, restorative environment where clients feel safe, supported, and deeply cared for. Whether you’re seeking relief, recovery, or a moment of calm, this is a place where you can let go — and feel truly seen.
