Meet Your Massage Therapists

skilled practitioners - working together - to bring you the best care

We are a small woman-owned business. Like many of you, all of our massage therapists are balancing work, parenthood, families, and passions. Most are available for appointments 2 - 4 days a week, with some therapists available less. This helps us each create a balance between mama life and work that we think best serves ourselves, you, and our community!
