Eating Windows: What Are You Two Doing?!? Part 1

Hi there, welcome back…to both of us! To say that it’s been a while since I’ve blogged is putting it mildly. It’s not that I have nothing to say, rather, I’ve been in one of those situations where I have SO much to say, that I have NO idea where to begin. Let’s start...

Happy New Year! (The 2019 Edition!)

I know that your email boxes are getting slammed right now from New Year well wishes to coupons, sales and other well wishers and in that I guess I’m no different.

Why I Stopped Wearing Over-the-Ear Headphones

I’ve used headphones for my music long before blue tooth was a thing and I detested the earbuds because I felt that they hurt the inside of my ear. However, after several pairs of over the ear headphones trying to get something less “squeezy” on my head, I found no matter how gentle they seemed it still caused Temporal tension, jaw pain and neck tension.

Taking My Own Medicine: My Experiences with CBD Massage

The efficacy of CBD massage post-motor vehicle accident. How I found out the hard way how good it is! I’ve had the pleasure of getting the CBD massage on separate occasions from two different That’s the Rub therapists, once to try out how it feels (duh!) and the other CBD massage after my recent car accident. It was interesting how they were the same…only different.

Beginings: Old and New

VERY Early Sidewalk Sign (circa 2012) We used to start every day by hanging a new “Rub” on the door: a quote by a famous person to inspire thought, allow us to embrace gratitude, or to just have a good laugh on the way in and out our door. It was kind of our way at...

Embrace the Change

Why do we just expect our bodies to keep going? Our body needs to be cared for, nurtured, strengthened, stretched, and fed properly. We wouldn’t expect a car to just keep going with no gas, oil changes, or regular maintenance, eventually, the car says “I’m not going anywhere.” Therefore, you must take care of it or get another car. Meanwhile, we complain about what a piece of crap it is, not taking responsibility for the fact that if we’d been doing proper maintenance we wouldn’t be facing the issues with our car. Well, our bodies are the same, they need regular, consistent maintenance, but unlike a car, you can’t turn it in for a younger version. So, it’s better to take care of it, you’ve heard the saying, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. It’s time to take responsibility for your body maintenance and give it the attention that it deserves.

How to Choose the Right Massage Therapist for You – Part 3

Each visit you make the therapist you prefer, the therapist may (and likely will) use different massage types and applied styles to change up the massage. However, after multiple treatments sometimes things stop working or you’re no longer getting the results you’re...

How to Choose the Right Massage Therapist for You – Part 2

This might be a surprise to you or maybe not, but all massage therapists are not created equal, not all massages are the same, any more than all bodies are the same. I bring this up because it occurred to me that the major reason people may not like to try another...

    This place is great! Conner and the other therapists care about healing your whole body. It’s not uncommon for a therapist to run over to finish working out a difficult spot, and they always pick up the next session with where you left … More off with the previous visit.
    We are lucky to have this gem in our community!
  • Avatar Ashika Ghosh ★★★★★ 7 months ago
    Friendly staff, cleanly , great location, and amazing massage therapists! Best deep tissue massages ( best paired with the CBD oil add on) and just tried cupping for the first time ever. They focus on holistically healing your body rather … More than just giving you a “simple massage”. After even just one session, the tension and pain in my trouble areas have been drastically reduced. They also show you great stretches to maintain your body after your treatment ( to help with posture or any tightness). They also have a cute lounge for after your massage to sample organic herbal teas. 10/10 experience hands down.

    Oh, sweet Jesus! I never knew a massage that wasn't deep could melt me like butter. This occurred right after I had a disaster of a roommate. Right before Christmas, too! In addition, they have other services, so go check them out!! … More

    Worth every dime. The environment and staff are so chill. I’ve had massages a few times from here and always feel renewed. The staff ask what you desire from the massage, any areas you’d like worked on more and suit the massage to your … More activity level. They certainly deliver and I highly recommend them.

    This was my first time at this location and I got Terrence he was soooo great. I went in bc I have a lot of pain from osteoarthritis in my neck that radiates to my lower back and whenever I left I'm feeling great. Oh not to mention … More how well they listen to you and your needs. Also dont make u feel rushed,Would highly recommend 👌 👍 👏 🙌 😀

    Don't look any further. This is the place you were looking for.
    I called later in the day, and I was able to book an appointment the same day without any problem or complaints.
    As I walked into this very aromatic place, I wonder
    … More where the massage place is? They have a very nice store where you can find a large variety of fragrances at a decent price.
    The staff was very friendly and welcoming. They listen to every single random thing I wanted to say. My visit didn't begin with the health care provider, but at the phone.
    Terence is a gifted health care provider. He paid close attention as I described the horrific experiences I had with prior places. I described to him how I had little trust that he could help me because others have failed and made me feel comfortable during the process. He walked me to a very comfortable room with the right lighting and perfect aromatic. He played music that my breathing was able to catch on during the entire hour of restorative work Terrance did. In the end, Terence provided me with a couple of exercises to follow up with my newly restored back.
    Now that I am back to work, I feel like I can take the world after the healing process that took place the day before.
    This was the first time I came to this facility, and I look forward to coming by every time I come to town. I don't have any other place to go but this one.
