In today’s world, you have many options when seeking support for your health and well-being. So, why choose Enlightened for your journey in the Warren/Youngstown area? We believe our approach offers a uniquely comprehensive, compassionate, and empowering path to not just feel better, but to live better. Enlightened is more than a collection of services; it’s a philosophy of integrated care designed to help you achieve lasting results and rediscover your innate vitality.


What Makes Enlightened Truly Different?

  1. True Holistic Integration – Beyond the Buzzword:Many speak of “holistic,” but at Enlightened, it’s the very fabric of our approach. Larissa Giles brings an exceptional and rare combination of formal qualifications: Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT), Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA), and Certified Holistic Health and Wellness Coach. This isn’t just a list of credentials; it’s a synergy of knowledge that allows for a profoundly deep understanding of your well-being. Your physical mechanics are understood through a therapeutic lens, your bodywork is enhanced by rehabilitative insight, and your overall wellness journey is guided by proven coaching strategies—all seamlessly integrated to treat you as the whole person you are: mind, body, and spirit.
  2. Beyond Symptom Relief – Towards Functionality & Lasting Results:While immediate relief from discomfort is important, our goal extends much further. We are dedicated to helping you achieve Larissa’s “magic wand” wish for her clients: “decreasing pain and discomfort AND increasing functionality.” We look beyond the surface symptoms to understand and address underlying imbalances. This means empowering you with not just temporary fixes, but with sustainable solutions, self-care strategies, and a deeper understanding of your body so you can maintain your progress and enjoy lasting well-being.
  3. Deeply Personalized Care – Your Unique Journey Honored:While “Anyone is welcome” at Enlightened, your experience here will be anything but generic. We recognize that your path to wellness is as unique as you are. From the initial consultation, Larissa takes the time to truly listen to your story, your concerns, your goals, and your body’s specific needs. Every session, every piece of guidance, and every program is thoughtfully tailored to you, ensuring that your care plan resonates with your individual circumstances and aspirations.
  4. Empowerment Through Accessible Knowledge – Sharing the Wisdom:Larissa’s “core why” is deeply rooted in her own healing journey: “I got into holistic care and herbalism to heal my mind body, and spirit. I want others to have access to the knowledge that took years to discover.” At Enlightened, we are passionate about demystifying holistic wellness and making effective, natural healing methods understandable and usable for you. You won’t just receive treatment; you’ll gain insights and practical tools that empower you to take an active role in your health long-term.
  5. A Genuinely Supportive & “Relaxed” Environment:Healing flourishes in an atmosphere of trust, compassion, and safety. It is our deepest intention for you to feel “relaxed,” supported, and truly heard every step of the way. We strive to create a non-judgmental space where you can explore your vulnerabilities, celebrate your strengths, and embark on your healing journey with confidence. Larissa is motivated to “stand out” by providing this exceptional level of compassionate and attentive care.
  6. A Partnership in Your Well-being:We view our relationship with you as a partnership. Larissa is your knowledgeable guide and supportive ally, but you are the expert in your own life. Together, we collaborate to unlock your body’s innate healing capabilities and build a resilient foundation for lifelong health.
