Is your body out of whack? We call Laurence from Healing Waters our Witch Doctor (in the nicest sense). This is not a “feel good” massage place but you will feel a lot better when you leave with his mixture of body work like neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release and more. He’s also a skilled herbalist. Ask to be put on the waitlist for a 30 minute appointment for your best chance of getting in.

Parking
Pull into Blue Heaven’s driveway and park! You just got one of the best parking spots in downtown!! Parking can be expensive and hard to come by in the City. You are better off walking, ordering a pedi-cab, or an Uber if you’re heading downtown.
