Blossom & Be Wellness Retreat

"Phoenix was recommended to us by another bodyworker who moved out of town. I am SO grateful to have met Phoenix! I’ve seen chiropractors, massage therapists, PTs, Pilates instructors and personal trainers for my “back”. No one has helped me reach the level of awareness and relief that you facilitated in our session yesterday. I woke up the morning after our session with ZERO back pain/soreness, which hasn't happened in 6-12mths. So - thank you. Your expertise, awareness and knowledge of the body is spectacular! I am so grateful to have found you and I am excited to continue our work together. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"

"I first started going to Blossom and Be due to a sudden onset of sciatica. My chiropractor referred me to the massage practice, and I first saw Avyanna for assessment and a more overall massage. Avyanna was wonderfully caring and effective, but felt that my issues were more in line with the work Phoenix does. So I had a session with Phoenix, whose practice is deep tissue, therapeutic massage. At that time, after a thorough evaluation of my problem, Phoenix and I agreed on a period of time that I would devote to weekly sessions. X-rays and an MRI showed the extent of the problems, and we stayed with weekly sessions for about a year, after which we switched to every other week. It took longer to see improvement than I thought it would, but I am happy to say that the combination of therapeutic massage plus stretching exercises has made a difference. I am getting my life back! I highly recommend Blossom and Be to anyone who has tried other modalities, and is ready to add healing massage to the solution."

"I heard of Phoenix by referral of a colleague. I was primarily going to see if I could find a body worker in the Black Mountain area that would be a good fit to refer my acupuncture patients to (this to say my stands rd ds of expectationwere very high). During my session I found that I was able to drop into my body and relax more quickly than I ever had before. I have worked with many well trained massage therapists over the years but Phoenix is the most highly skilled, heart centered, and intuitive massage therapist I have seen yet. He was able to easily identify and work through many knots and meridian/energy blockages in my body. I left feeling more grounded, centered and energized. I recommend him to any of my patients and friends with great confidence."

"I first heard about Phoenix's massage skills from a friend who referred me to him. I have a permanent shoulder injury (A-C joint separation) which became very aggravated over about a year and a half ago. After a thorough assessment, Phoenix applied his skills and worked through not only my shoulder issues but also all my other hidden tight spots. I've been a regular customer ever since. I'd especially recommend Phoenix to anyone who is having orthopedic challenges as he is clearly very talented in this area!"

"I offered a massage to a friend and decided to get one for me, to make good memories with my buddy. None of us had any particular problem, we just were looking for a relaxing moment. I chose Blossom and Be because my husband has been friends with Phoenix for years, and I was looking forward to get the full Blossom and Be experience. I really enjoyed the feeling of the waiting room, the burning fireplace and the tea. The massage table was warmed up at the perfect temperature... and the massage was so relaxing I kept an amazing grounded and positive mood since then (4 days ago). I'll definitely make it a present for relatives and friends."
