The Urban Unwind | Feel the Change

The difference between feeling better and living better

Therapeutic Massage
& Acupuncture

by Carolyn Pinnock

At The Urban Unwind, healing is a journey – and right now, that journey is expanding! After years of serving the Richmond, Virginia community, I’ve relocated to the serene beauty of Arizona to deepen my practice through acupuncture training.

While I’m currently pausing massage appointments to focus on advancing in this next chapter, I can’t wait to welcome new friends again with even more ways to help you feel the change – mind, body, and soul.

Check back here to schedule your next session when bookings reopen – in Arizona!

“Carolyn got me through several half marathons and two full marathon training cycles injury free. As someone who is active 6–7 days a week, sports massages are a vital part of my recovery as I added more weights and miles to my regular routines. Carolyn knew exactly what to do to ease knots and tension all over my body with either percussion or heat. After each session, I would come out more relaxed and ready to take on the next challenge in my training cycle. I would highly recommend her!”

“Carolyn is a wonderful massage therapist who is not only skilled and experienced but has a warm and caring spirit. I appreciate how she checks in at the beginning of each session to make sure she provides the relief needed in that moment. It is also nice how she is willing to answer questions, educate and make any needed adjustments along the way. I have been a client for more than four years and highly recommend Carolyn!”
