The Art of Touch, located in Largo, FL opened its doors in May of 2007 and is a member of the Largo-Mid Pinellas Chamber of Commerce, Women In Networking, and Tampa Bay Birth Network.

Owners Alicia Orbea and Cassandra Haggert would like to welcome our new therapist Donald Stott to The Art of Touch. Alicia, Cassandra and Donald are licensed by the Florida Department of Health. Alicia and Cassandra are also Nationally Certified by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork. Our therapists graduated with excellence from Cortiva Humanities Center School of Massage in Pinellas Park, FL. All therapists at The Art of Touch are certified in neuromuscular therapies, including deep tissue, positional release, trigger point, and muscle energy technique. 

Donald’s hope to help people has fueled his aspiration to become a massage therapist. After attending massage school at Cortiva Institute one of the most reputable massage schools in the nation and receiving his certification in Neuromuscular massage for therapeutic healing, Don began his own traveling massage practice.  He is a member of AMTA and the FSMTA. He is excited to now be a part of The Art of Touch's in office and in home massage and is enthusiastic about doing what he loves and has a passion for. 

Alicia has always been intrigued by the medical field and knew even before attending massage therapy school that she wanted to own a business. She began her career as a massage therapist working in a physical therapy clinic under Dr. Kirsten Snellenburg; one of her massage instructors and a well respected doctor of physical therapy in the Tampa Bay area. After honing her hands on skills and learning a great deal from her mentor, she focused her energies on opening a massage practice. In addition to her Certification in Neuromuscular Therapies, Alicia has since studied Advanced Myofacial Release under John F Barnes PT.

Cassandra aspired to work in the health care field ever since elementary school. She also aspired to own a business. After graduating at the top of her class, Cassandra started out assisting a local chiropractor.  In addition to her neuromuscular certification, she has received certification in pregnancy massage through Kate Jordan's Bodywork for the Childbearing Year and is certified to teach Infant Massage to parent's and caregiver's through Infant Massage USA. She is a member of Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals ABMP and the Tampa Bay Birth Network.  She is a native Floridian born and raised in Largo, Fl.
