ITHACA — Deeply Devoted Massage will formally open its new, bigger studio at 120 E. State St. in Ithaca on Wednesday.
The business, owned by Marcie Leib, moved to the new 1,600-square-foot location, overlooking the Ithaca Commons, last month. The studio is double the size of its former location, and offers added space for four therapy rooms, a reception area, and an open area for classes, seminars, and massage parties, according to a news release from the business.
Leib first opened Deeply Devoted Massage in April 2011 in a single massage room. Since then, the business has doubled its space twice and is approaching 1,000 clients.
