We are so excited to have you and Touch of Peace Massage, Emily!!

🎉Celebrating 5 year of Touch of Peace
Massage with the following changes:

-My new location inside UpNorth Therapies! Located at: 6709 1/2 ND 200
I am looking forward to bringing you the same great services in this new, beautiful location!

-As some of you know, my husband and I are expecting our second child! We are so excited and as we look forward to this next season, we’ve had many conversations about the future. I have made the bittersweet decision to stay home for an undetermined amount of time after this little one arrives. (Could be a year, could be 5 years🤷‍♀️)
This decision is bitter because I absolutely love my job, my clients, and seeing your quality of life improve.
It is sweet because being a mom is an honor and a joy. Time is moving crazy fast, and I want to be there for all of it, to soak it all in.

I am planning to work until close to the end of April 2026. If you or someone you know has a gift card, please get on my schedule sooner rather than later so you are able to use it.

I want to thank this community for your continual support. For my clients, who make my work even more enjoyable. For trusting me with the health and wellbeing of your body, mind, and soul.

Lord bless you.
And may you continue to experience a Touch of Peace from the Prince of Peace.

Your licensed massage therapist,
-Emily Douglas

Closed Today | Indigenous Peoples’ Day

Today, we pause to honor the strength, resilience, and contributions of Indigenous peoples, whose knowledge, resourcefulness, and stewardship of the land shaped the foundation of the world we live in today.

While this day carries a complex history, it also reminds us of the power of connection — how early settlers, including Columbus and others, relied on Indigenous peoples to survive, learn, and adapt to the new world. Through both hardship and collaboration, these relationships influenced medicine, agriculture, and cultural practices that continue to shape generations.

A few facts worth remembering:
• Indigenous peoples taught settlers essential skills for farming, navigation, and survival.
• Over 500 tribal nations exist within the U.S. today, each with unique languages, histories, and traditions.
• Many foods we consider staples today — corn, potatoes, tomatoes, and chocolate — trace their roots to Indigenous agriculture.

As we reflect today, we encourage gratitude, awareness, and continued learning about the cultures that came before us and still thrive today.

We’ll resume normal hours and respond to messages tomorrow, Tuesday.

Honoring Labor Day —

Today, we take a moment to recognize and honor the strength, dedication, and contributions of workers across all fields — including the incredible families, educators, and providers we’re so lucky to collaborate with.

Our office is closed today in observance of the holiday, but we’ll be back tomorrow and will respond to all messages then. We hope you found time to rest, recharge, and reflect.

May 18 | National SLP Day

A moment to pause and reflect on the beautiful complexity of the work we do here at .therapies

Orofacial myology isn’t always linear. Many of our patients present with layers — chronic, overlapping concerns that require nuance, care, and collaboration. That’s why we’re big believers in building bridges across disciplines, not walls.

From ENTs, orthodontists, and RDs to CST specialists, IBCLCs, PCPs, OTs, PTs, and beyond — we work hand-in-hand with a wide network of providers to give every patient the tailored, interdisciplinary support they deserve.

As SLPs, we are one of the few professionals uniquely trained to diagnose, assess, and treat orofacial myofunctional disorders. Our clinician specializes in feeding and swallowing disorders, orofacial myology, and has completed advanced training in myofunctional therapy, tethered oral tissues, oral placement therapy, breathing techniques, TMJ and muscular connections, and craniofacial development. This allows us to approach concerns like mouth breathing, persistent health concerns like sinus infections, airway restriction, dental/ortho regression, gut health issues, and TMJ pain from a truly integrative lens — connecting the dots others may miss.

Because therapy isn’t meant to be your whole life — it’s meant to improve your life.

At UpNorth, our goal is simple: help you master the tools you need so you can get back to living fully, boldly, and freely ⊹₊⟡⋆

Today, we honor the work SLPs do in all corners of the field — clinical, collaborative, and creative. We’re proud to be part of that story.

We’re currently accepting remote patients in North Dakota and Florida, and we also offer in-person evaluations to those able to travel.
