June and July Specials

Hello everyone!

Have Angie got a deal for you:

Angela is extending an invitation to experience one of her deeply healing and rejuvenating Shiatsu massages, through the end of July, for only $50.  If you have never had a Shiatsu treatment from her before, you should take advantage of this great deal!  Plus if you tell others and they come to her, she’ll extend even further savings your way- with $15 off for referrals , as her heart-felt ‘thank you!’

Shiatsu is a very ancient, time-tested therapy that came out of Japan.  It is done with the clothing on, but don’t let that fool you- a session with Angela is just as stimulating to the skin, muscles & fascia, and is absolutely delightful to experience.   If you have an ache or pain, whether it is recent or chronic, a full shiatsu treatment does WONDERS for healing these things!  A full session takes her at least an hour and 15 minutes.  It is not only deeply calming to the mind and relaxing for your body, but it usually gives your energy a serious boost that can last for days.  It is truly a unique form of hands-on massage, not to be missed- so schedule online today or give us a call.  She looks forward to sharing the amazing power of Shiatsu with you!

“I have only had traditional relaxation massages in the past. I have always enjoyed them so I wasn’t sure what I would think of a Shiatsu massage. The experience was markedly more peaceful and provided the same wonderful relaxation for my sore muscles. Angie’s passion for her work clearly comes through in her massage. She is very talented and I would highly recommend her.” Maggie Christopher, St. Paul, MN

Marie Swanson

Marie creates images of familiar landscapes and spaces, evoking memories of North Shore drives, woodland walks, autumn mornings at the cabin, and collecting agates on a rocky shore. Small, personal-sized framed prints displayed on a shelf, tabletop or dresser recall memories and impressions we all recognize and appreciate even if just for a moment. Marie’s prints are also available as notecards and bookmarks, perfect for gift-giving.

Her works have appeared in galleries in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Lindstrom, Scandia, St. Croix Falls, and Two Harbors.

Some things people have said about us!

I went for my first massage today and came out thinking how I would sleep REALLY well tonight.  The massage room is in the basement of the building, with a nice solid massage table, pleasant soft music, and indirect lighting– so no distractions of road noise or anything like that.  Lee has strong arms & hands, and uses a variety of massage techniques, some stretching, and hot towels, in order to relax muscles.  He was able to advise some breathing exercises to use when the massage pressure was more intense.   After the massage was done, Lee made sure I was comfortable and let me take my time getting dressed and ready again.  I also like that Lee’s encouraging local artists to exhibit their work in the waiting-room space– that’s a neat bonus.

I really appreciated the very deep work last night.  I had a workout with my trainer this morning and I could really feel the difference in my strength and flexibility.

I really like the location of your new studio and how it feels when I walk in.  The art and jewelry you have on display make a very nice addition.  I was impressed with the quality of the jewelry and the very reasonable prices.

I liked the massage space and found the table incredibly comfortable.  I just sort of sunk into it.  Your draping methods maintained modesty without feeling confining.  I liked how you enlisted me in holding the drape under my arms at times – it gave me a feeling of control and participation.

The depth of the massage took me to the edge but really challenged me to breathe.  You seemed to be right there with me and always know when the muscle was about to release.  You are incredibly strong and confident.  I would like to try some other techniques soon, perhaps stone, for a little more of relaxing and less challenging time.  For last night, it was just what I needed.  My sleep, which has been a challenge, while not “perfect” was certainly better after the massage.

Thanks for sharing your work with me!

My Partner and I have had Lee as our massage therapist for over five years. Lee is conscientious and dependable and we look forward to seeing him weekly as part of our physical health regimen. He always knows the right amount of pressure to use and intuitively what area of the body needs work.  His massage never feels routine.  It is great to see him in his own richly deserved salon – It’s warm and light filled waiting area has both a calming and spiritual welcoming quality. He is a kind soul, a friend, a wonderful body worker and we love him

Artifex Manuum Spa & Gallery is a comfortable space.  I like the art scene support they show by offering local artists work for sale in house.  My massage therapist is Lee and he is very professional and does excellent work.
