Basilia is an independent contractor working with TTMT. 

Basilia is available for appointments for therapeutic, prenatal, and hot stone massage during some weekdays, evenings, and weekends.

Basilia has been in practice since she graduated from the CT Center for Massage Therapy in Groton, CT in 2009. Since graduation, she has continued to further her knowledge and skill by completing several professional massage therapy training courses. 

     In 2011, Basilia completed Oncology Massage Therapy: Caring for Clients with Cancer, by the researcher and writer Tracy Walton. Basilia fully believes in the benefits that massage therapy can offer this specific group of people, from reducing anxiety/depression, enhancing body image to reducing pain/suffering just to name a few. She has the training to offer therapeutic massage during the diagnostic process, while in cancer treatment, for survivors and for people who are living at the end of life. She also has the training to adapt the session to specific medication and current/past medical conditions.

     Basilia completed Pregnancy Massage: Advance Technique and Training offered by Connecticut’s AMTA Chapter in 2011 and Mother Massage®: Massage During Pregnancy in 2013, which was taught by one of the earliest pioneers of prenatal massage and developer of the Mother Massage® professional course, Elaine Stillerman. With the knowledge gained from these two courses, Basilia knows when it is appropriate for an expecting mother to receive massage therapy and how to safely adapt her touch to address physiological/emotional changes throughout all three trimesters and postpartum.

     In 2016, Basilia completed her Reiki 1 training and also trained in Hospice Massage Therapy with Center For Hospice Care In Norwich, now known as Hartford Healthcare at Home, Center For Hospice Care of Norwich. She visits hospice patients regularly either in their home or at nursing homes to provide gentle respite massage therapy and Reiki to help ease emotional/physical discomfort.

     Basilia also completed training for cupping therapy in 2021.  She would like to integrate cupping therapy as a form of deep tissue massage into her massage routine. 

 Basilia is experienced in deep tissue massage, nurturing massage, prenatal massage, and oncology massage.

     When not practicing massage, Basilia loves to express her creativeness by playing the guitar, drawing, sculpting and painting. Daily meditation is a routine she practices in to help keep her centered and grounded. Spending time with her friends, family and her three cats are things she values and tries to make time daily, as well.

Lee served on the Ida P. Rolf (IPR) Research Foundation Board of Directors from 2012-2015. The IPR Research Foundation hosts the Fascial Research Congress, which takes place every 4 years in different locations in North America and Europe.
