Jessica J. Proia

I have had issues with chronic lower back pain and tight hamstrings for years. After coming to see Jessica & receiving a very thorough consultation and massage which included a lot of great stretches my lower back pain was relieved along with the leg tightness (which I did not know could be possible!) I can't say enough about Urban Escape and the amazing work of Jessica!

The most positive massage experience I've had was at Urban Escape with Jessica! The atmosphere is wonderful, very professional and inviting! Jessica is a very nice and caring person who is skilled beyond belief in her field! I had issues with back and neck pain that I thought I had to live with but since seeing Jessica, the pain has been under control!

I highly recommend Urban Escape and Jessica Proia! The massages are out of this world, deeply relaxing and so effective! The atmosphere is calming and inviting. I become disconnected within the first few minutes on the table. Jessica combines so many different techniques from deep relaxation to deep tissue! When I leave my pain is relieved and the knots are gone! I've noticed a huge difference since becoming a new client!

I suffered from debilitating migraine headaches. I came to Urban Escape for a series of therapeutic massages. Having someone listen & understand my issues was already a relief. Jessica spent a lot of time doing Craniosacral Therapy on me (gentle & thorough work on my head & face) she hit all of the target areas that were the root of my pain. She also provided me with several other techniques during the session. The atmosphere was very quiet and comfortable. I would recommend Urban Escape to anyone looking for relief of severe headaches or any other issue!

Jessica Proia, the owner (and massage therapist) was so conscientious about communicating and sharing her extensive knowledge. Her style was like no other; a meticulous combination of several techniques. Extremely effective! I felt like a new person!

I had struggled w/ back issues for years due to a car accident. I went to a chiropractor and physical therapist. Any association I had w/ massage in the past was pretty much fluff and I didn't notice a difference afterwards. I was referred to Urban Escape. I had no idea what a difference a truly skilled massage makes! Jessica Proia (owner) knew exactly what she was doing! She combined a series of treatments in just 1 session using a lot of stretching. She honed in on all of my trouble spots, using the perfect pressure. The massage ran over the amount of time I expected because she wanted to keep me there as long as necessary.I greatly appreciate the fact that she really cares! I couldn't believe the difference after only 1 session! Each visit gets better and better and the results are produced faster due to my frequent visits! I highly recommend Urban Escape to any one who is looking for the best results they can get!

I had suffered from chronic lower back pain, neck and shoulder tightness, due to frequent traveling and a demanding lifestyle. I was fortunate enough to be introduced to Urban Escape and experience the work of Jessica Proia (owner). At my first visit we started with a medical history form and very thorough consultation. She really took the time to listen and then explained her theories to me on how and why her work will help. It was a relaxing experience from the very beginning! I got pampered with aromatherapy,heated herbal neck and eye pillows while getting a chance to decompress! The massage was a unique incorporation of several modalities (all amazing)! There was a lot of stretching which unwound the tight areas. All of the areas where I had issues were thoroughly addressed! I've never experienced such a skilled massage! It was the definition of holistic!!!

I was new to Pittsburgh and have received massages for years. I tried a few places and wasn't satisfied. A friend from Heinz Lofts referred me to Urban Escape. The owner, Jessica Proia came highly recommended! I immediately felt comfortable the minute I walked in. The atmosphere was private and upscale. I loved the fact that other than the scheduling service, I dealt directly with the owner. Jessica had me fill out a form and demonstrated a great deal of intelligence and sincerity during the consultation! It was refreshing to say anything that was necessary before the massage since we both agreed that the most effective massages are done in silence! I could relax to the music and disconnect! I prefer to have a MT who knows what to do w/out being instructed! The massage was consistantly perfect and thorough! By the completion of the session I was relieved of all physical discomfort. Mentally I was at peace and felt rejuvenated the next day! This has become an ongoing process where I feel much better in general as a result!
