Intentions Massage and Bodywork Llc.

Overview

Intentions is a specialized wellness studio described as ‘A Space for Women’s Healing’, primarily offering massage therapy, energy healing, steam therapy, and intuitive services tailored to women dealing with stress, anxiety, pain, fertility challenges, and pregnancy. While not a traditional sauna facility, it features a unique Steamy Wonder steam canopy for personal steam sessions integrated with massages, providing a sauna-like detoxification and relaxation experience on a massage table. The overall atmosphere is nurturing, non-judgmental, homey, and calming, emphasizing slow, relaxing sessions that promote deep zoning out or sleep. Therapists Rachel and Juliet Bonesteel create a safe space for body-mind-spirit healing, drawing from personal experiences with anxiety, panic disorders, and postpartum challenges.
