Pop-up Massage Studio

POP-UP MASSAGE STUDIO: The popup massage studio is returning to Narrow Ridge! Stress is a major contributor to chronic health issues, and massage therapy offers significant physical and mental health benefits, with stress relief being primary among them. Making massage therapy accessible can be challenging farther from large population centers, but Blake and Tara have a passion for Narrow Ridge and the community around it. If possible, we would love to make this a regular occurrence. Blake began learning bodywork in Knoxville's circus arts and yoga communities, and discovered a passion for helping people move, recover and reconnect with their bodies. He's been working full time as an LMT in Knoxville for 3 years, currently at Amethyst Massage in Bearden. He offers Swedish, Deep Tissue, and Therapeutic massage, specializing in targeting your myofascial issues with broad, consistent pressure that relieves pain while still allowing your nervous system to relax and destress. Tara began studying massage therapy in Colorado in 2015, and now works full time with a private practice in Knoxville. Over the past decade they have developed expertise in a wide range of modalities, including injury recovery and postural correction, lymphatic drainage, specialized neck and jaw care, and cupping. Tara curates their work to address your specific needs, and works slowly and patiently to make space for your nervous system to reset, holding space for your body to build trust and heal itself. Appointments for massage at Narrow Ridge's Strawbale Lodge are available from 9 am to 4 pm on Tuesday, September 22nd. To book with Tara, prices are $60 for 30 min, $120 for 60 min, $180 for 90 min, and $240 for 120 min. To book with Blake, prices are $60 for 30 min, $100 for 60 min, $140 for 90 min, and $200 for 120 min. Email Blake at brstannard@gmail.com to make an appointment!
