About Me

Hi, I’m Carolina Aquino—a native New Yorker, Licensed Massage Therapist, and educator with over a decade of experience. I graduated from the City College of New York (2012) and the Swedish Institute (2017).

I founded 718 Wellness, LLC in 2018 in the Bronx, starting from my apartment with a focus on prenatal and postpartum care. As my practice grew, I expanded into my current office at WSA in the Financial District.

My holistic approach was shaped through my own healing journey, where I discovered the profound power of touch and its ability to transform how we feel in our bodies and move through life. 718 Wellness was born from that transformation—turning my experiences into support for others.

I offer customized treatments designed to meet you wherever you are in your wellness journey. With a background in education, I guide clients in building a deeper relationship with their bodies through mindfulness, breathwork, and sound healing.

My specialties include prenatal and postpartum care, medical massage, deep tissue, myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, and Reiki. My practice blends Western and Eastern modalities, rooted in presence, intention, and continued growth.

What Our Customers are Saying

“I've done many prenatal massages as this is my third pregnancy. It's very difficult for me to fully disconnect and relax. However, this massage was very different. Carolina's ambiance, energy and overall touch let me disconnect and I've never felt more relaxed and happy...”

“My massage experience with Carolina was truly wonderful. She created an an environment that felt safe in multiple levels. I left feeling relaxed and rejuvenated when I left and lasted far beyond as well! I highly recommend Carolina/718 Wellness!!”

— Dalia Fakhouri

“I am 27 weeks pregnant and my body was under a lot of stress. I felt completely off balanced. As soon as I walked in, I felt a weight off my shoulders and my mind and body were in a safe space. Carolina, was so welcoming. I felt at peace right away.”
