Federica's career in massage began in 2003 when she started receiving massage herself. She quickly realized the benefits and therapeutic power of massage and decided to study it and make massage therapy available to all people in need of relaxation, pain relief, and disease prevention. Federica practices massage therapy in Middletown and lives in Newport, RI.  When she's not helping clients relax and revitalize, she enjoys traveling, gardening, reading books and periodicals, and receiving weekly massages.
