About Us

Two lovely folks running what we think is a lovely business.

Marlene, the massage therapist of the operation, is a local legend on buy nothing, and a diy master. Passionate about dance (her son is a ballroom dance teacher after all), a good story, and bettering the world around her. She has been a massage therapist for this whole century, and derives great joy from understanding what our bodies are trying to tell us. Bring us your tricky aches and pains, Marlene will know what to do.

Annette is the red light (middling) the tech pro here. Usually a digital nomad and teacher, Annette has taken some time to set up this little treasure of a business. Annette is passionate about skincare and politics (and the intersection of the two), and an old pro on the skincare tales of the internet (makeupalleys heyday? She was there. The many SPF controversies? Front row seats). Bring your tales of travel and your skincare woes, you'll find a home here.
