Grateful for our New Vinings Clinic!
This Thanksgiving 2024 I was blessed and grateful for so many things. Finally, after searching for 18 months, I was most grateful for finding a place where I could make the massage clinic of my dreams a reality. For this, and all the people who have helped on the way, I have so much gratitude in my heart. My hope is to create a health sanctuary for true healing and maximum relaxation through massage and bodywork. I would be so appreciative if you continue to support this vision and spread the word about, and our team, at our new location!
In a few months (March 2025), I will have practiced massage therapy for 20 years. I look back and I see how the road – sometimes rocky- has led me here: owner of a growing company and now a storefront business. I am learning how the difficult times are rolled up into thriving times. I started practicing alongside chiropractors when I first graduated massage school (Rising Spirit Institute of Natural Health 2005), then worked many long hours and years in spas and medspas. My clients gave me great feedback, so I decided to go out on my own. In 2015, I incorporated The Muscle Relaxers LLC and found a space to practice within an acupuncturist’s office in Buckhead, Georgia. Many times I was concerned that my appointment books weren’t full, but it always worked out. I moved to the beautiful Astoria Building in Buckhead and practiced there for 8 years also alongside acupuncturists, including my brother Oscar.
In May 2023, my time there was up and I had to go on the search for my forever practice home. My transition place on Pharr Rd helped bridge the gap which finally led me to Vinings.
The day my daughter and I received the keys to my new massage clinic was one of the happiest days of our life! I loved seeing her run through the empty rooms and I realized that fulfilling this dream was for the benefit of her future as well.
The last few months have been trying and stressful with leases and landlords and lawyers, but we opened our doors mid November 2024. Today we had the washer and dryer installed – they are big and beautiful and I won’t have to pay for laundry service anymore!
The feedback so far in Vinings is very positive, both from family, friends and from clients. I’m so happy that I had the patience to find what I believe to be the right place. We have a sunny lobby and warm cozy treatment rooms. The train does come behind our building, but there is no extra fee for the slight vibration :) Our signage on both the street marquis and on the building are in the works.
Friends have already serendipitously found each other here. Most importantly, healing is happening!!!
Our doors are open to welcome you, your family and your friends.
Be well, have a relaxing day, and see you soon!
