Dear Breathe Family,
After 21 incredible years of owning and pouring my heart into Breathe, I’m writing to share some big, bittersweet news. I’m beginning a new adventure and relocating to State College, PA. While this is a new chapter for me personally, it’s not a goodbye — it’s a heartfelt see you soon.
Over these two decades, I’ve had the privilege of walking through life alongside so many of you. Together, we’ve celebrated marriages, welcomed children, grieved losses, navigated divorces, and held space for both joy and heartache. You’ve been more than clients — you’ve become friends, confidants, and an important part of my life’s story.
I want to be clear — I am not stepping away from owning Breathe. This business is my heart, and it will continue to grow and serve our community. While I’ll be offering massage less frequently, I’ll still be involved behind the scenes, supporting the amazing team and ensuring the spirit of Breathe stays strong. And of course, I’ll be back for occasional pop-up appointment days — and I can’t wait to see you when I’m in town.
If you’ve been wanting to get on my table one more time before this next chapter begins, June will be my final month for regular appointments. I’d love the chance to see you, catch up, and say a proper “see you later.”
I have full faith in Michelle and my incredible team to continue taking beautiful care of you in my stead. I am so proud of the space we’ve built together, one filled with care, connection, and compassion.
Thank you, truly, for letting me be a part of your lives for 21 years. It has been the honor of my life to share in your stories, and I carry every one of them with me as I step into this next chapter.
With love, endless gratitude, and hope for what’s ahead,
April Ashbee, LMT
Co-Owner and Founder
