About The Quest Well Shoppe

Life is an adventure, and you want to be at your best so you can show up every day and give it your all. The problem is… with all the demands on your schedule, and all the stress at work and at home (even if it’s good stress), you sometimes struggle to show up at all — never mind being at your best! Sometimes, you want to escape, just to get away from everything that’s winding you up, wearing you out, and grinding you down to a state of painful exhaustion.

We understand the difficulties of working through that anxiety, stress, and pain. We’re here to help.

At The Quest Well Shoppe, we empower adventurous souls to feel and live well through education, massage, and holistic therapies. We approach wellness as an adventure, and we’re excited to partner with you on your quest.

Our Philosophy

We see you as the adventurer you are. Adventurous souls continuously explore and improve their inner and outer worlds. Our goal is to help you live well, informed, and able to live your best life on your terms.

We honor your journey. Every adventurer has different skills, needs, and goals that are constantly evolving. You are empowered as a whole being — physically and mentally, to take the next step in your journey, at your own pace. We support you on your quest for wellness through deep listening, communication, and education as we assess where you are and develop a map together to help you get where you want to go.

Caring for yourself is a crucial part of your life-long adventure. Together, we help you manage your pain and stress so you can feel well, free to do what ignites your soul.

Our History

In 2015, our Archmage (the owner and person who’s in charge of making the magic happen here) Erin LaMountain left the world of profits-over-people corporate massage therapy and opened Riverside Serenity Massage & Wellness, a solo practice operating out of an acupuncture clinic in the Shockoe Bottom district of Richmond, Virginia. Over the next few years, she developed her practice and finally outgrew the space and name she had originally chosen.

In 2019, she shut her doors in Shockoe Bottom and opened The Quest Well Shoppe in her cozy loft in the Manchester district. She is currently still the sole practitioner at The Quest Well Shoppe, but we anticipate bringing on more expert Healers soon.
