Heather McNeil, LMT

We're collecting gift donations for the Allegheny Department of Human Services' Holiday Project at my office at 5150 Penn Ave! Since the late 1960s, the DHS Holiday Project has provided holiday gifts to eligible children and youth who receive services through the Department of Human Services. Thanks to the generosity of county residents, tens of thousands of holiday mornings have been brightened.

Recipients of gifts include newborns through young adults. In every case, gifts from the Holiday Project provide an invaluable sense of normalcy for children and youth whose lives are shaped by daily challenges.

If you would like to donate, please bring your gifts to the waiting area of my office at 5150 Penn Ave on the second floor. Gifts must be new and unwrapped, but gift bags are encouraged.

Some gifts ideas:
- Books with diverse cultural themes for children of all ages

- Creative kits (e.g., art, science) for schoolage children

- Developmental toys for infants and toddlers

- Dolls and action figures with a full range of skin tones

- Hat, glove and scarf sets

- Imaginative play toys for school-age children

- Board game and puzzles

- Music-related electronics

- Purses, jewelry, make-up

- Remote control toys

- Sporting Goods like basketballs, footballs, soccer balls, baseballs, bats, gloves, and helmets

- Riding toys such as bicycles, tricycles and skateboards (please include a helmet)

We will be accepting gifts from now through December 9th which will then be delivered to the workshop in Boyce Park Ski Lodge. Thank you and Happy Holidays!

The lats, pecs, biceps, and traps have a STRONG relationship and this technique will point that out to ya right quick!

It's a cool spot for a massage!

Oh hey! Lots of new followers so it seems a good time to introduce myself. My name is Heather McNeil and I have been a licensed massage therapist for 6 years in the great state of Pennsylvania. I'm pictured here with our state flower, mountain laurel!

I approach life with an easy-going curious nature and my therapeutic style reflects that. Adaptation is crucial and kindness is paramount. I believe in hard work, yes, but that is not the be-all end-all of progress, healing, and recovery. In my office, therapeutic bodywork sessions look different for each person everyday and I use a variety of massage modalities such as:
- myofascial release
- craniosacral therapy
- deep tissue, sports, and medical massage
- cupping therapy
- hot stone massage
- pampering facial massage (!!!)
- aromatherapy
- good ole fashion relaxation/swedish style massage

I love what I do, and it is an honor to work with a wide variety of folks. Helping you strengthen your mind-body connection and aid you in your body's self healing processes is the freaking coolest.

In my spare time I lead a very happy and funny life with my husband Zach, our native plant & vegetable gardens, and tons of bird and animal friends in the woods of Garfield.

Clients absolutely do not need to remake the table after their session, but it happens a lot and I think it is cute every time lol

Thanks to all my clients I have been so busy I hardly noticed that I have a super light week next week - must be Spring Break! Get yourself on the books next Wednesday or Thursday, mention this post and get yourself a nice 20% off!

The shoulder, neck, and back relationship is fascinating to treat. Let's get you feeling better and more connected. Mid-March massage appointments availability. On the border of Bloomfield, Garfield, and Friendship in Pittsburgh.

I quietly added facial massage to my menu! Each facial massage session will include pine steam towels; lymphatic drainage with a rose quartz roller & golden syrup; décolleté, face, jaw, and neck massage with rosehip & grape seed oil; cooling ice globe massage; acupressure and scalp massage.

This service doesn't treat skin issues - that's what estheticians and dermatologists are for - BUT this is a supremely relaxing service that just so happens to make your skin look glowy and snatched!

Cases are spiking, folks! If you are not feeling well, please stay home. I'll never be mad atcha! Please do take it easy, folks. Covid and the plethora of infectious illnesses out there love a stressed out body -- drink plenty of water and REST. It's winter after all -- time to slow down.
