Springtime Announcement

Posted on by

Our big announcement as of April 1st: Sunshine is now the sole owner of MilkThistle! After careful consideration, Tera has decided to go her own way. We are both on great terms with each other and excited for one another regarding our new directions and new professional roles. It’s been a collaborative effort over the years and we are grateful that we were able to come together to build this team!

With this transition, many things will remain consistent. We have all the same services and many of the same therapists and estheticians for you to book with. Look out for the addition of new services in the near future and follow us on Instagram for all the latest @milkthistlemt.

We look forward to seeing you in the space very soon!

Because you want to help more!

Fire Cupping Workshop with Will Hartzell, MS, Licensed Acupuncturist, Oriental Medicine & Sound Medicine
Learn the ancient Healing Art of Fire Cupping from a Master!

Cupping Therapy
Ancient treatment relies upon creating a local suction to mobilize blood flow
in order to promote healing. When cup is left in place for a few minutes, blood
stasis is formed and localized healing takes place. Cupping aids in toxin release, lymphatic activation, reduced muscle pain and increased oxygen flow in fascia and muscular tissues.

New Coconut Hot Stone Wrap & Massage

Posted on by

Just in time for winter we have added a delicious new body wrap and massage experience to our menu! Treat yourself to the nourishing qualities of coconut oil and shea butter, renowned for their ability to hydrate and soften the skin. After a gentle exfoliation, you’ll be wrapped in a coconut cocoon and treated to a warm coconut oil scalp treatment and foot massage. Once unwrapped, a blissful hot stone massage will soothe your muscles and your mind. You must experience this luxurious 110 minute treatment for yourself!

“I was in an auto accident and sustained soft tissue injuries in my neck and lower back. I was very sore and stiff, and I would get headaches. Sunshine’s massages made me feel so much better. I was more relaxed, had less pain, and my headaches improved. She was always kind and caring, and careful to make sure I was comfortable throughout the sessions. She also handled all the insurance billing. Her massages are amazing!” -Wakuna Grant

“Came in for a full leg and bikini wax. Tera did a great job. She was professional, mellow and fun to chat with. The space is really well put together, full of hand picked antique/restored furniture, very clean and calming. The location is a little hard to spot from the road if you’re just driving by but there is off street parking around the back. I’ll definitely be going here again!” -L.L.

“I’m in love with Milk Thisle Skin Care!! The front desk staff who helped me with check-in and check-out (Tera ) was very sweet and professional.

The entire spa is super, super, super clean, from top to bottom. They have someone round-the clock cleaning, replenishing towels, refilling amenities (everything from the soap dispensers to the cucumber water in the sitting room). The steam room is delightful!
Now, on to the actual massage… I got a 90 minute deep tissue with Tera . And as they advertise, you get a FULL 90-Minutes! Tera  is a massage genius. She  asked what I wanted, checked-in a few times and by far gave me one of the best massages in my life (and I’ve had plenty).

If you like deep tissue, she definitely your gal.!  Within the first 10 minutes, I was hooked.

I booked another session 2 weeks after and have a new massage home 🙂

I’d give this place 100 stars if I could.” -Susan H.

“I couldn’t be more thrilled to find this new Skincare and Massage studio! Milk Thistle is extremely serene and beautiful inside. This is what walking into a spa should feel like! The colors are soothing, the music relaxing, and the smell instantly calming. Before my treatment I was able to use their sauna to further relax and loosen my muscles. A nice touch! Both therapists are amazing. Tera is the best masseuse I have ever been to. She has given me both incredibly soothing, relaxing massages and therapeutic massage. She was able to work on a calf injury that has been bothering me for some time. She is a true healer and her work on my leg has sped up my recovery. I can’t get enough of her massages! Tera also has the most delicate manner of lash tinting. I have very sensitive eyes and she was able to give me dramatically beautiful lashes without any irritation whatsoever. I couldn’t be happier! I have also experienced fantastic services from Jessica. I recently got the rejuvenating collagen facial from Jessica. Jessica has the perfect “touch” for facial work. Her hands can work some relaxation magic! The foot and scalp massages incorporated into the facial took it up a notch. Jessica really goes the extra mile! My skin was glowing after and I received several compliments on my complexion that evening! Jessica is also a wonderful waxer and really is able to minimize the pain of waxing while achieving smooth and lasting results. Both Tera and Jessica have the incredible attention to detail that I expect from a top-notch spa. This place is sensory perfection and I am looking forward to my next visit!” -Sara Duncan
