Chemical Peels, Sugaring & Apothecary Harvest Party

Posted on by

Happy Fall! We hope you are enjoying the change of seasons and perhaps getting back into some nice routines.

CHEMICAL PEEL SERIES – now is a great time of the year to try a chemical peel or a series! This treatment will encourage your skin to repair itself revealing healthier, younger looking skin. These treatments have a cumulative impact if done in a series.

10% off if you book a package of 4 peels. Or try one and see the instant results! Applies to both LactoFlora and Micro Retinol Peels.

SUGARING – We now offer sugaring services! We love this option for its gentleness on the skin (less painful than waxing), its ability to grab shorter hairs (less waiting time for regrowth) and its all natural ecofriendly formula. In addition, the results tend to last longer and there’s less redness. We invite you to give it a try, it’s a great alternative to waxing!

HARVEST PARTY – Save the date for our harvest party open house! We will be celebrating the new and existing herbal vendors, offering give aways, discounts, chair massage and more! Bring a friend, sip on elixirs and check out the copper hydrosol still demo as we welcome some new vendors including Botany of Being, Anima Mundi and Sacred Abundance. Thursday, October 24th from 4-7pm. Bring a friend!

AFTERGLOW MAKEUP – Ask us about our complimentary basic makeup application. Add to any facial so you’re ready to go back out into the world.

We hope to see you soon!

Happy High Summer!!

And happy one year anniversary to our beloved Kat Stephens! Kat’s practice includes yoga, Reiki, herbalism, nutrition, massage therapy, craniosacral and visceral manipulation. Her holistic approach focuses on the root causes of disease. She brings her multifaceted vision to each client she sees, drawing on many fields to address physical, mental and spiritual discomfort.

Kat supports her clients as they develop a relationship with their own unique healing process. Listening and languaging, she reweaves the threads of the healing arts. Her passion is for softening the tensions which often underly surface health issues.

Kat is an artist, dancer and mother. Her lightness and dedication can be felt by all who know her.

One of Kat’s favorite modalities is Visceral manipulation. This is the practice of gently moving the body’s organs to manually tone and mobilize connective tissue.

For the month of July Kat will be offering 10% off visceral manipulation, craniosacral, Reiki and body treatments! Use the code KATXO !!!

Mother’s Day Specials 2024

Posted on by

Hello dear friends and patrons! As the spring begins to unfurl, and we are deep in the experience of the varying paces so present at this time of year, we notice some things slowly sprout as others seem to burst open. Days are lengthening and the warmth of the sun invites a slow rest time as well.

Rituals of gathering, making, cooking, sharing, planting, beauty, movement and rebirth seem to abound during this time of the year. It’s no wonder we are called to honor Mother.

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.

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.
Date: March 18th, 2018
Time: 10 am – 5 pm
Place: MilkThistle Skincare & Massage
Preregistration by March 5th – $150 (includes fire cupping set)

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.
