LaVida Massage of Staten Island was established in December of 2013. Owner/Operators, Darren & Michele Carbone were eager to be the first to bring LaVida Massage to the Five Boroughs. The brother & sister team felt the perfect location for such a business was the bustling Charleston retail plaza, South Shore Commons. Formerly in the restaurant industry, the sibling business partners wanted to make the leap into the massage business due to their love for therapeutic massage.
