Farmington Hills Spa Owner Believes in Power of Massage Therapy

Shelly Pesta is no stranger to the medical field, having spent more than 15 years as a clinical oncology specialist with BioTech Medicine Sales and Marketing.

However, when her 7-year-old son, Jacob, was diagnosed with a brain tumor two years ago, she quit her corporate job to travel across the United States seeking treatment and rehabilitation therapy to help her son beat his cancer. Along the way, she found a new career, which she launched late last year in Farmington Hills.

"My little boy, at 5 years old, was diagnosed with a very rare, catastrophic brain tumor," Pesta said. "He is the first U.S. case, with the location, type and age of the tumor. And he's the sixth case written up internationally, in the world. So he's very much a trial and research case. His case is being handled by attendings all over the country."

Throughout the course of his illness, Jacob received a number of different therapies, including massage.

After coming home to Commerce Township, Pesta discovered a new LaVida Massage nearby and learned it was a franchise. Having long wanted to be an entrepreneur, Pesta decided to open her own LaVida in Hunters Square at 14 Mile and Orchard Lake Roads this past December.

"It's my hope that maybe two years down the road, it will generate an income, but also give me a little bit of distraction - something I can focus on so I can tear my brain away from the trauma we were going through as a family," Pesta said.
