Our Story

Felisa Sicat Isom is a Licensed Massage Therapist with a decade of experience in the healing arts. Her journey began in the Philippines in 2012, where she first discovered her passion for massage and holistic wellness. After moving to the United States, Felisa continued her studies at Advanced Massage Therapeutics in Louisville, Kentucky, earning her U.S. license in 2017.

Since then, she has built a respected career in massage therapy, spending six years at Massage Envy, where her commitment to client care and her skill in therapeutic bodywork earned her recognition as the 2024 Northeast Therapist of the Year.

In 2023, Felisa became a National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB) approved continuing education provider for her original, trademarked modality called Thera Bamboo Massage. This technique combines anatomy, physiology, and the natural properties of bamboo to relieve pain, tension, and fatigue. She also authored Bamboo Therapeutic Massage, a copyrighted guide that teaches therapists how to safely and effectively integrate bamboo into their practice.

In June 2025, Felisa proudly represented the United States at the 8th World Massage Championship in Copenhagen, where she shared her Thera Bamboo Massage technique with therapists from around the world. A few months later, in October 2025, she opened Thera Bamboo Massage in Newburgh, Indiana, a place dedicated to healing, education, and rejuvenation.

Today, Felisa continues to teach, innovate, and inspire others through her work. A proud Fil-Am and lifelong learner, she brings compassion, knowledge, and artistry to every session, helping each client find balance, relief, and renewal through the power of touch.
