Your body is wise; not a problem to be fixed.
Hello and welcome,
I’m Marquita Kalithia Green, LMT, founder of Makali (mah-KAH-lee) Healing Arts. I offer therapeutic massage integrated with Reiki and sound healing to support a true balance of mind, body, and spirit.
My journey began through the lens of chronic illness. For years, I navigated a body in too much pain to even receive physical touch. Reiki found me first, allowing me to heal without pressure and rebuild a sense of safety in my own skin.
I was first attuned to Reiki in 2017 and reached the Master level in 2020. By unpacking my trauma and making deep lifestyle changes, my health stabilized. Moving home to Philadelphia and graduating from The Wellness Institute of Chester County in 2024 was the realization of a long-held dream and the final step in reclaiming my purpose.
I entered this profession with a lived understanding of chronic pain, sensory sensitivity, and neurodivergence. I created Makali Healing Arts in Abington to be the sanctuary I once needed; a trauma-informed space where your nervous system can finally let go. Whether you need clinical relief or deep rest, you are welcome here exactly as you are.
This is your safe place to land.
My Mission At Makali Healing Arts, I provide a grounded space where therapeutic massage and Reiki meet to ease chronic pain and settle the overactive nervous system. My focus is helping people navigating stress, pain, or illness feel truly at home in their bodies through intentional, holistic touch and energy work.
My Philosophy I believe the body is its own best healer. My role isn’t to force a result, but to collaborate with your body’s natural process. I don’t follow a rigid, one-size-fits-all routine; instead, I listen to what your body is telling me in real-time, tailoring each session to exactly what you need on the day of your visit.
By blending bodywork, Master-level Reiki, and vibrational sound, I address pain and mobility to create meaningful, functional change. My approach is intuitive and deeply informed by my own history with pain, ensuring you are seen, validated, and supported. Together, we work to shift and release tension, leaving you grounded, integrated, and with a sense of well-being and light-heartedness.
My suite is a sanctuary where empathic listening is a core part of the healing process. I hold a safe, confidential container for you to process transitions, ensuring your story is held with the same integrity as your physical body.
The Role I Play: Facilitator & Witness
In my suite, I am more than just a pair of hands. I operate as a facilitator of physical change and a witness to your personal narrative.
As a Facilitator, I use my clinical background in massage and energy work to help release stagnant tension and support the body’s innate ability to recalibrate.
As a Witness: I provide a grounded, non-judgmental space for empathic listening. Whether you are navigating a major transition or simply needing to be seen, I hold that space with the highest standard of professional confidentiality.
