THE STORY:

I was working as a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner when I noticed that I was writing numerous prescriptions for ailments that I knew could be healed naturally. Unfortunately, in the Medical Field, my hands were tied on the options I could provide for my patients. I decided to create a place that promotes self-care, where the client receives services, products and educational options that would fit their individual needs. I started small with Infrared Body Wraps and Ultrasonic Cavitation for detoxing the body then grew into the healing practices of massage therapy, skincare, and yoni steams.
