2021:)- This site system doesnāt allow me to write more than one review so I thought Iād just give another rave review in front of my first one from over a YEAR ago :)!!!! A friend recommended B&B over a year ago and a year later I feel like a Blossom and Be groupie. Lol. And I have to laugh at myself when I say that but I honestly canāt say enough about Blossom and Be and my practitioner Pheonix. I have never left a session without feeling immense relief and healing. Iāve endured TOO MUCH pain due to muscle tightness & muscle injuries over the years. Ive probably had a massage at almost every spa in AVL. Sure, they felt good and relaxing but ultimately they were just fru fru, feel good fluff. I desperately wanted (and needed) massage to help me get on a road to recovery & healing!! If you have chronic pain due to muscular tightness or injury and you want real support, you would be crazy to try anywhere else! I even recommended my partner see Pheonix for 1 session to address the consistent numbness in his hand. In one session it was life changing for my partner and now he returns every month or so for maintenance. Please dont assume you have to just resolve to live with that pain in your body as my partner and I did. Finding B and B has been life changing for both me and my partner. Pheonix even provides follow up body support exercises to do at home for those of us that are good at doing our homework or have finally accepted that healing doesnāt always just happen on its own!
2020 :)- The retreat environment is clean, inviting, relaxing, homey and every bit of a sanctuary! I have had a lot of massages and with out a doubt Pheonix provided the best massage I have ever had. I had the most terrible tightness in my shoulders that compounded from weeks of stress and overworking my body in the garden. The tightness became pain and I started seeing a physical therapist. I worked on stretching with my PT however I received the most release when I went for a 90 min massage with Pheonix. He took lots of time in the beginning of our session to help determine where the issues may be stemming from, provided the most relaxing massage I HAVE EVER HAD and went above and beyond to email me exercises and stretches to try out from their you tube library! My massage was so healing that I literally felt the gravity when I attempted to get off the table at the end of the massage. I had to sit on the couch in their lovely, zen entry/waiting room. I immediately scheduled another massage for 2 weeks later. I can't say enough good things about Blossom and Be! Pheonix is a very talented masseuse. My body cannot wait...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreMy experience at Blossom and Be was phenomenal. I have had many pleasant massages with other skilled massage therapists in the past, but Iāve never had an experience quite as powerful as what came from my massage with Avianna. The impact of the massage carried on far longer than just the 90 minutes I spent on the table. First, I was invited into the uber-cozy Blossom and Be lobby which was immediately calming. Avianna was extremely professional and extended so much care and warmth towards me as we discussed my desires for the session. She took plenty of time to gain a strong understanding of what I was looking for and repeatedly emphasized that she was interested in feedback (which is always helpful for me to hear). My actual experience in the massage was nothing short of blissful. On a physical level, she was extremely strong and seemed to effortlessly maintain the high pressure that I prefer throughout the 90 minutes. She used techniques that Iād never experienced before that felt aaaamazinnnng ā loosening up perpetually tense areas of my body and sending me into somewhat of a trance in the moment. I felt Aviannaās full energetic presence throughout the entire 90-minute session. It was clear that she has a gift of strong intuition as she was finely attuned to my body and what it needed. For hours and hours after the massage, I kept expecting to āwake upā from the daze I was in, but it just wasnāt happening. For days my body felt relaxed, my heart felt so open, my conscious mind took a break from hyper-active duty, and I felt a general sense of surrender - all of which felt like signs that my mind and body were in the process of deep integration. To sum it up, Aviannaās compassionate care, intuitive presence, and strong massage skills worked powerfully together to unlock some of the glitches in my body and mind to help me heal, integrate, and grow. The words āBlossom and Beā perfectly reflect my...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreSo I was in much need of a massage, I train martial arts and I get knots all over from training so sometimes I hurt quite a lot. This was one of those times. My neck was all knotted up among other areas. I called around and got referred to Blossom and Be Wellness. They came highly recommended from other massage therapists. I was delighted to be able tog eat in there and Pheonix seemed to be very knowledgeable about his practice. We went over the issues he asked me some questions and got started. Everything was super professional and respectful. He was super engaged with me and giving me all his attention when we were talking and discussing my muscular issues as well as the solutions to them. Had a nice conversation while I was getting massages as well. Pheonix was able to tot he affected muscles and release the tension in them very well. I felt worlds better afterwords which is what I expected. I get the massages on a regular basis now. This sessions was 90 minutes and worth every penny. Haha I highly recommend this spa to anyone who needs some relief from their musculature and the knots in them and desires to have a highly knowledgeable therapists to help resolve those. issues! Iām traveling Right now but if Iām ever in the area Iāll definitely go back here for some repeat business. Iām very satisfied with...
