Sage Roots is a place I will continue to go to. After my first time there, I can't imagine going anywhere else.
I was able to quickly book a 90 minute Ying/Yang Massage with Reiki. It was their monthly special and I decided to splurge. It was the last weekend in my 20s and I needed a #treatyoself moment.
The night before my appointment, I received a text message from Ashley. In the text, it had the location's address and instructions to call/text her when I arrived.
At first when I saw that it was street parking only I was nervous. Being from an area where "street parking" means "good f-ing luck" I was hesitant to book with them. But I'm so happy I did, street parking galore when I went and I'm happy that didn't deter me.
When I arrived, I texted Ashley and walked up to the sidewalk. She met me outside, walked me through the gate, locked the gate behind her, and told me to go up the stairs. When I went into their studio area, I felt like I was home. I've recently moved to Texas and I have felt like a transplant for about 8 weeks now. Being somewhere that truly feels like a safe place, is... amazing and very much needed.
Ashley asked me questions on massage preferences. I looked at the table and got a little worried. I'm chubby AF and didn't want the massage table to collapse, but it was perfectly fine (aside from a few squeaks).
The massage was relaxing and such a healing experience for me. Even throughout the rest of the weekend, and even today, my body feels like I could be Jackie Chan's stunt double. I feel awake, alive, and rested. The reiki was just as good. I had never had it done before but have always wanted too. After the session, Ashley and I were chatting and she brought up things that she "felt" I needed and it was something I was actually wanting to do for quite sometime. She even picked up to where I was from, which was equally as cool.
I thought it was convenient that you didn't have to bring cash. Cash only places give me a weird vibe. They accept cards, checks, and venmo too.
Ashley told me that Sage Roots plans on having more classes. If they do, I'll be so down. Full Moon, New Moon, Oils, etc. Count me in for sure.
I look forward to going back, whether its for a class, massage, or reiki. read more
