OUR BEGINNINGS WERE HUMBLE
Many called me crazy, maybe just as crazy as the year 2020. Who would open a new business during a pandemic? Me of course! We had to shut our doors in March of 2020 due to governor orders caused by Covid-19, we were shut down for 1.5 months, during the shut down my mind wandered, my dreams grew bigger! This crazy idea of opening my own shop started rattling through my brain more and more! I had so much time to think, stress, wonder and research. One thing lead to another and I found a building I fell in love with and everything else just followed suit! Scary times?! YES!! Doubts? YES!! But I did it! And I have killed it!

JESS KOWALSKI
massage therapist
Jess graduated from the NH Institute for the Therapeutic Arts in 2022. They fell in love with massage therapy because touch in its simplest form has the power to deeply heal. Jess decided to go to massage school after taking a 10-day silent meditation course, and experiencing how impactful massage therapy, somatic therapy, and strength training combined can be in restoring the mind-body connection. They are interested in the space between neuroscience, strength training, somatic healing, trauma aware touch, and social justice. Their background is in environmental conservation, agriculture, education, and studio arts. Their interests have brought them across the world- from studying the Hochstetter's frog and hiking through the remote rivers of New Zealand; cycling across the Pacific Northwest building affordable housing; thru-hiking the Long-Trail in Vermont; working on small New England organic Farms; and deep diving into ag-tech and social justice and in the heart of it all, San Francisco. Their heart lives in the red canyons of the desert and in the balsam fir of the White Mountains. Jess creates repurposed jewelry, organizes community building events, and works to provide affinity spaces for women and the LGBT+ community in the Mount Washington Valley. In their free time they like to swim, bike, white water kayak, climb, hike, go canyoneering, make zines, sit on the floors of bookstores, doodle, laugh, dance, cook, farm, play with friends, and watch things grow. Jess may be found lurking around icicles, mountains, deserts, farms, puddles of water of all sizes, food, or piles of art supplies.
