What Kalene’s Clients are Saying:
As a Chef, I am no stranger to pain all over my body. I recently decided I need to manage my pain better and get help. When I called the Pgh Acupuncture & Massage office I spoke with the most caring receptionist, Serina, who got me scheduled for an upcoming appointment. I instantly could tell everyone from this clinic was invested in my wellness journey and that is comforting to know when deciding on any health clinic to go to! I scheduled my first a 90-minute CBD and hot stone massage with Kalene and had so much muscle tension relieved and felt relaxed the entire time, my first massage had a long lasting pain relieving effect that lasted for days and I knew I found the right place to get my health back on track! I have since gone to Amy for Acupuncture and WOW! I have a long history with seeing Acupuncturists but Amy takes the cake! She was thorough and the treatments have all been so helpful for pain management that I almost feel like I have no pain left to treat! LOL Thank you all so much for your dedication to the health of your clients! I wish everyone could experience this clinic and what they can do for you! :)

I scheduled an appointment day-of after dealing with some hip tightness, and Kalene did a phenomenal job in forty minutes. She also gave me some stretches which have really helped. Highly recommend!

I was able to get an appointment with Kalene very quickly to address my lower back pain. She did a great job explaining what happens with a prenatal massage to me, and her pressure was spot on! Her communication throughout the massage made me feel comfortable as well. The best massage I’ve ever had, I can’t wait to go back!!
-Emily B.
Fantastic, clean and professional business. Kalene was very knowledgeable and hit every spot perfect. A true expert in her profession. If you are searching for a massage therapist, stop now and book your spot.
-Jeremy L.
Kalene is a phenomenal masseuse! I’ve had many massages I’ve t the years and she ranks up there in the top 3. Her knowledge of the musculoskeletal system is wonderful and she found some new sore muscles to loosen up that were affecting the muscles giving me pain and tension. Can’t wait to book my next massage!

Hands down the best massages I’ve ever had. Kalene is amazing! I cannot recommend her enough.
-Amber B.
I have always been pleased with the massages at Pittsburgh Acupuncture and Massage. I have been regularly going the past two years and have always been happy. I now get massages with Kalene, who has an amazing knowledge of the body and truly helps me with my back pain and fibromyalgia. I'd highly recommend her if you're looking for someone. A two hour massage is amazing.
-R. D.
Such a great experience. You can fill out your intake forms online before you get there, and my masseuse Kalene really took my requests seriously. Highly recommend this place. Heads up it is street metered parking only.
-Rizzo S.
My massage from Kalene was amazing! I loved the addition of hot stones during the massage as well as the cold stones on my face, they just made it so relaxing! Kalene is very thoughtful of the amount of pressure used throughout the session. All of the specialists here make sure you leave feeling better than when you arrived!
-Cassidy M.
I've finally found my go to massage spot! I was recommended to go here by my work, and this was the best decision I've ever made. Kalene and Patapon are the absolute best. The level of care and detail that they put into their work really sets them apart. The variety of different services that they offer too is by far what makes them my favorite place. The overall environment is so comforting, relaxing, peaceful too. Can't wait to come back!
-Renee B.
Fantastic experience! Kalene was an incredibly mindful and effective therapist. I'll definitely be going back!

Kalene gave me the best massage I've ever had. I had a great deal of tightness/pain in my hips/back/butt area that I've tried to deal with using stretches and exercise but it was ineffective. I couldn't even stand up straight. I thought I was just going to have to live with the pain. But one massage with Kalene, the tightness and pain was gone. I feel like a different person. She really understands how the body works and the various muscles/tendons fit together. She listens to how my body responds to her touch and adjusts accordingly. I have made a regular massage with Kalene part of my monthly self care. It's 100% worth it.
-Jennifer P.
I had a terrific experience at Heal PGH and will absolutely return. My massage therapist understood my exact concerns and provided relief for persistent pain I carry in my back, hips, and hamstrings. I'm already planning for my next appointment.
