It is with every emotion, I am closing Knead Wellness this coming July. At a time when so many small businesses are struggling, I can proudly say, we are not. And I have our community to thank. The support we have received over the years is overwhelming, and I will stay forever appreciative of what Golden has done for Knead, the folks that have worked there both in the front and behind the scenes, and my little family. However, it is my family that has been going through a season of change over the last couple of years and Dave and I have decided that we need to relocate to a large centre to obtain a wider range of specific supports and services, in order for our family to have the best chance of thriving. We are hoping this move will be temporary, but because life is full of so many twists and unknowns I have decided that I can’t continue to juggle the clinic and home for that time.
While contemplating options for the direction of the clinic I was in talks with our landlord, who then informed me that he will be taking the space back for a new business venture himself, and so to put it simply, that’s that.
Our exact date of closing is still to be determined, but I anticipate that it will be the end of July.
What does that mean for our incredible crew of therapists?!?
Kristi is diligently working at finding a suitable replacement location to practice out of, and we will keep you posted with details as they solidify. You can follow her up dates on Instagram .rmt
Shauna will continue on at the clinic until late June or early July as planned, when she will transition to teaching hide tanning workshops through the summer and early fall. Watch for her back in Golden at some point early next winter. You can follow her on Instagram .mikomi
Jess will be completing the second and final year of massage at Vicars School of Massage Therapy, after which she will challenge the board exam (and rock it!!) to become a Registered Massage Therapist. She’ll be dividing her time between massage and Skydiving at Extreme Yeti, here in Golden. You can follow her on Instagram
As for myself, I have no idea massage wise. For the first while, my sole focus will be our family and helping everyone settle into our new routines. I do know however that I still really love working as a massage therapist and I'm not ready to let it go just yet. You can continue to follow the clinic Instagram page for updates as I have information available
Please ask any more questions you may have! We are here for you to answer all of it as transparently as possible and to the best of our ability.
Thank you everyone, for everything.
