About Wholde
A Community of Care Providers
Wholde is built on the understanding that community care is foundational to healing. The space is intentionally shaped to welcome licensed massage therapists and holistic practitioners, both resident and visiting, whose work reflects a shared commitment to care, presence, and connection.
Located in Allegheny West, just a short walk from the peace and serenity of Allegheny Commons, Wholde was chosen with care to offer room to slow down, rest, and integrate before re-entering everyday life. Street parking is available on Western Avenue and Galveston Avenue.
Therapeutic massage services are now available in Suite 209 by foundational members Hena Rizvi and Joe Truesdell of True Recovery.
Stay tuned for workshops, events, and community offerings in Suite 101.

Hena’s sessions incorporate elements from therapeutic massage, Craniosacral Therapy, Reiki, and Somatic Release, all designed to be trauma-informed, intuitive, and collaborative. Drawing from her own extended healing journey after navigating a traumatic brain injury, she brings a refined sensitivity to nervous system regulation, gentle touch, and the body’s subtle cues. Her work is especially beneficial for those experiencing stress, chronic tension, emotional overwhelm, or the lasting effects of trauma—particularly for individuals seeking community care that honors the whole person. Each session is held with presence and care, providing a quiet, supportive space for the body to soften, reconnect, and restore itself in its own time, embodying the principles of holistic practitioners.
