Therapeutic Massage Announcement

It is with a whole mix of feelings that I announce that, effective immediately, I will not be accepting new traditional/therapeutic massage clients.

If you're already regularly on my schedule, I honor your dedication to yourself, and I will continue giving you amazing care.

If you are not on regularly on my schedule, I can give you information for a few other massage therapists in town who should be able to take care of you. Last I checked, there are 14 other massage therapists in Hibbing.

Like many things in life, there is an exception. If you have a gift certificate to Ohana and would like to redeem that towards traditional massage, please contact me directly to schedule that. I do want to honor those agreements. If you call and I am unable to answer, please leave a voicemail. Otherwise, I won't know who to call back.

Because of who I am becoming and my values of transparency and authenticity, a more detailed explanation can be found below.

I did not initially want to make this decision to honor relationships in the community. The last 13+ years have been quite the ride. But the time has come that I need to protect my schedule for those who need the specialized care that I offer ~ Myofascial Release, the John Barnes' Approach.

These people may have chronic problems and/or pain that other therapies have not helped with.

They may want to improve their posture or create more space within their body to exist.

They may want to work with their body to facilitate authentic healing rather than mask or cover up their symptoms.

They may be looking to develop a deeper connection and awareness within themselves - to reconnect with who they really are, before the years of living took it's toll.

Heck, they may not know what they need, just that the other things aren't cutting it.

Those are the people I want to make sure there's space in my schedule to work with.

Not to mention, I've dedicated 600 hours to training and spent over $30,000 in the last 11 years to develop this skill set. I intend to use it to the fullest Especially since I keep going back for more training. There's a depth to this work that can shift your entire world if you allow it. It did for me anyway ~ 13 neck/head injuries, and I live 99% pain free. ️️

P.S. Obviously, there will be a name change somewhere in the future. But that's not a priority for me right now. I've got people people to care for, and I'm trying to not be a workaholic anymore, remember
