| | | | | | | Meet Khadijah Hewitt, LMT ‒ MSK Massage Therapist | Khadijah Hewitt began her MSK career in 2004 as a Care Coordinator. She was drawn to the clinical aspect of the hospital but also sought more holistic avenues and chose massage therapy. For her, it was the perfect balance of constant learning, hands‑on application, and educating others. Khadijah has been a licensed massage therapist since 2011.
In December of 2016, her dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Towards the end of his battle, the only thing that provided a reprieve from his pain was massage. In 2019, when she received a job offer to join the MSK Integrative Medicine Service as a massage therapist Khadijah says she felt that she “finally achieved my goal of doing what I love, where I love to work, and with people I love.”
She blends various techniques to help her patients decrease pain, increase range of motion, and reduce tension. Khadijah enjoys helping her patients, and her passion for massage and its benefits really shines through her work.
Our private massage therapy services are open and ready for you. We are following the highest of standards to keep you safe when you come in for appointments. Khadijah provides private massage therapy services at the Bendheim Integrative Medicine Center several days a week.
To schedule a massage therapy appointment with Khadijah and learn about our other services, please call 646‑888‑0800. | | | | |
