Salt and Sage Co

To my Salt and Sage community,

I want to have a candid conversation.

Over the last few years, I have had the privilege of caring for thousands of people. I have celebrated pregnancies, held space through grief, worked with injuries, and watched many of you make massage a regular part of your wellness routine. I do not take that trust lightly.

Because of that, I also need to be honest about something that has become increasingly important to me.

Massage is not a product that sits on a shelf. It is not something that can simply be purchased and handed to another person regardless of how they feel. It is a deeply personal experience that requires trust, consent, and a willingness to receive care.

Recently, we have had an increase in appointments being booked for individuals who did not actually want to be here. Some have arrived embarrassed, frustrated, or feeling obligated because a friend, partner, or family member made the decision for them.

That is not fair to them, and it is not fair to the therapists who show up with the intention of creating a safe and restorative environment.

I want to be very clear: Salt and Sage will not participate in pressuring someone into receiving bodywork. If someone does not wish to attend their appointment, we will respect that decision. Appointments made for unwilling participants may be canceled, and our cancellation policies will still apply.

The greatest gift you can give someone is the opportunity to choose care for themselves. A conversation and an invitation will always be more meaningful than an obligation.

Thank you for helping us protect the atmosphere we have worked so hard to create—one built on trust, kindness, and mutual respect.

With gratitude,

Madison

There’s something about being in your own space that changes everything.

When I do in home sessions, the energy feels different before I even set the table up. People aren’t rushing in from traffic or trying to switch gears from their day. They’re already there. Already a little more themselves.

The session tends to unfold in a quieter way.

Sometimes there’s a dog wandering in and out of the room. Sometimes the windows are open and you can hear the breeze moving through the trees. Sometimes there’s barely any conversation at all, just a kind of natural settling that happens without effort.

And then the session ends, and there’s no transition back into the outside world. No drive home. No trying to hold onto the feeling.

You just step off the table and your space is right there waiting for you. Your couch, your blanket, your own rhythm.

That’s the part I love most.

It’s not just about the hour on the table. It’s about what happens after, when your body gets to stay in that softened state a little longer.

If you’ve been curious about mobile sessions, or you’ve been craving something that feels a little more integrated into your life, this might be a really good fit for you.

I also love doing these for girls trips, slower weekends at home, or even just your regular maintenance in a way that feels a little more personal.

There’s something about bringing a new scent into the space that shifts everything.

I added the Mermaid body scrub and glow oil by Baja Zen into the office this week, and it immediately softened the room. It’s not overly sweet or artificial. It feels like warm sand, salt air, and that quiet exhale your body takes near the ocean.

This is the kind of detail I care about. The things that don’t shout, but gently change how you feel in your skin.

Take the relaxation home with you. Pick up your duo for $40.00 in office

Fascia is more water than it is a tight netting simply encasing our muscles. Water holds memory and patterns. Massage impacts muscles, fascia, and the nervous system, mostly the nervous system. Emotional releases are very real. Our fascia holds those patterns, those memories, those emotions.

I have been gathering pieces of information since I first got into health and wellness at 15. There is a lot of information out there, but I am seeing connections that line up with how I have always intuitively felt about healing.

Maybe it is not so much about doing as it is about doing less.
Maybe it is not so much about learning something new as it is about remembering.
Maybe it is not so much about putting yourself in different situations as it is about coming back home to yourself.
I want to help guild you back home.

Your nervous system remembers what it feels like to be safe. I just help guide you back there.

Think warm tea-infused towels, soft light, slow intentional touch, and the kind of quiet that lets your mind settle. These small details are not extra. They are the work. They are what help your body recognize that it is okay to let go.

Some of you have been here since the Sleater Kinney office 2020-2021.
Some of you found me inside of Fruition Salon 2021-2023
And some of you found me in the Burnett office 2023-current.
