Our Story
Have you ever had a dream that somehow became reality? We have - our center where we specialize in therapeutic massage has been a long-time dream. The goal of each session is to work with clients to try and improve their health and wellness by providing a customized massage.
Our space is unique and unlike any other massage center. It was purposely designed to showcase local artwork. Throughout the year we work with local artists and provide a venue for them to share their talents with the community. As new art rotates into our space we also sponsor an evening at the center for the artists to discuss their pieces. This is a free event, open to anyone who wants to meet the artists and spend some time with their neighbors in the community. See the art show page for dates on when the next event is scheduled.
