A West Chester massage therapist who trained in São Paulo now holds a Best of Philly title from Philadelphia Magazine.
Aline Rivera's My Miracle Touch, located at 967 Paoli Pike, was named Best Lymphatic Drainage Massage in the magazine's 2026 Best of Philly: Health & Self awards, announced in July. The studio operates inside a My Salon Suite location in Unit 21A, Suite 105B.
Philadelphia Magazine's entry for the studio reads: "Lymphatic drainage has every massage devotee we know talking — and Aline Rivera is who they're booking."
Rivera, a certified massage therapist since 2011, opened My Miracle Touch in 2019 after adding esthetician credentials in 2015, according to her booking profile on Vagaro.
She trained in São Paulo and developed a technique she calls "Brazilian Lymphatic Detox and Body Contouring," which uses medium to firm pressure with more vigorous movement than traditional lymphatic massage, according to VISTA.Today.
The approach targets circulation, bloating reduction, and body contouring. My Miracle Touch also offers post-operative care, facial detox, and prenatal treatments, according to the business's Facebook page.
The studio carries a 5.0 rating across 63 reviews on Vagaro.
Other Chester County winners
My Miracle Touch wasn't the only local business honored. Chester County claimed three of the magazine's Health & Self awards, according to VISTA.Today. The Primal Scream Club in Downingtown won Best Way to De-Stress for its monthly gatherings at Johnsontown Park, and Surge Sauna & Cold Plunge, also in Downingtown, earned Best Recovery Space for its converted-garage studio on West Boot Road.
