The Pushy Goat

Overview

The Pushy Goat is a holistic wellness studio specializing in massage, bodywork, and alternative therapies rather than traditional saunas. Housed in a cozy, older two-story home, it offers intentional, purposeful services focused on whole-person wellness, blending Eastern techniques like Ayurveda and Reiki with integrative massage. The studio emphasizes practitioner growth and client journeys toward balanced, happy lives.

• Facility type: Intimate collective space with treatment rooms, including main-floor options for accessibility; no dedicated sauna but features services like Herbal Sauna Wrap.
• Overall atmosphere and experience: Immensely relaxing and rejuvenating, with dim lights, meditative music, candles, incense, and a quiet, contemplative vibe. Clients describe it as unparalleled, natural, and homeopathic without being overly “hippy-dippy,” fostering deep restoration, clarity, and emotional grounding in a shared, courteous environment.

Notes

• What makes this sauna/studio special: Holistic, intentional focus on mind-body-spirit via Ayurveda, herbalism, and energy work; small collective of expanding practitioners (e.g., Jennifer Sauer) prioritizing client education and customization over cookie-cutter services. Strict cancellation policy (48-hr notice; 50% <24-hr, 100% same-day/no-show) ensures availability. Non-medical: No diagnosis/treatment of conditions; scope limited to wellness. Testimonials rave about attuned care, superb oils, and soul-rejuvenating space. Co-working opportunities for like-minded bodyworkers; evolving menu with bulk herbs upcoming. Unique blend of ancient rituals (e.g., ear candling’s fire element for mucus/sinus relief) in a homey, non-corporate haven.
