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 pain and autoimmune illness. During a season when my body was in too much pain to receive physical touch, Reiki found me first. Because it works within the subtle energy field, it allowed me to begin healing without pressure and rebuild a sense of safety in my body.

After years of profound results, I became attuned through the Master's level before enrolling in massage school. This path helped me understand the energetic roots of suffering and approach healing holistically. As I unpacked and worked through my own trauma, my health stabilized.

Returning to my hometown of Philadelphia, I entered the massage profession not only with technical training but with a lived understanding of chronic pain, sensory sensitivity, and nervous system regulation. My diagnosis as neurodivergent at 50 further deepened my awareness of burnout and the necessity of trauma-informed care.

Today, I naturally blend multiple massage modalities with Reiki and sound healing. Each session is tailored to what your body needs in the moment, whether that is clinical pain relief, deep rest, or energetic realignment. Makali Healing Arts is an inclusive, heart-centered space where you are welcome exactly as you are.

Beyond the treatment room, I am a self-taught artist. My work is inspired by nature and the Divine Feminine, honoring the same intuition and spiritual embodiment I bring to my healing practice. I see creative expression and movement as vital ways to nurture my ongoing growth and offer beauty to the world.
