About Us

Founded in 2020 in the midst of chaos, we created a sanctuary of refuge. We grew quickly from a basement to a storefront, servicing more than 6000+ clients to date.

We believe self-care is self-love.

When our minds, bodies, and souls are cared for, we have better decision-making, attention spans, mood stability, and overall health.

Relationships, work, and your experience of life are improved only by dedicating time to bring your bodies to deep relaxation states.

We are dedicated to helping you achieve a higher quality of life through deep relaxation and overall wellness by providing you with consistent, high-quality services, products, and experiences.
