🌿 An Important Update from Blue Sage → Feral Roots Conservatory 🌿
Hello wonderful community,
As we move into the crisp, golden days of autumn, my practice is also undergoing a beautiful season of change and growth. What began as Blue Sage Massage Studio is blossoming into something that more fully reflects the heart of my work.
I am thrilled to officially introduce you to Feral Roots Conservatory—an herbal, eco-centered botanical sanctuary here in downtown Fredericksburg.  most of you have already been made aware of the change, but on my booking site, it will solely be feral roots conservatory now that everybody has had time to fully adjust . I am working on a new sign, but y’all already know where to find me! This new name honors the deep, earth-centered practices that now form the core of my offerings, including sound healing and forest therapy, experiences within studio and out in nature.

As the year winds down, I will be completing continuing education, revamping the practice and practicing some self-care and healing so that in 2026 I can continue with all that I love to do!
With this evolution comes a few important updates:
➡️ Massage Appointments: I will be focusing my massage work solely on my established clientele and am not taking new massage clients at this time. Because of this, I am also temporarily suspending the sale of massage gift cards. Current clientele feel free to reach out to me if you need to schedule something for somebody. All current gift cards that have been already purchased will be honored and redeemed by the recipient.
➡️ Booking Ahead: My overall availability is becoming more limited as the year winds down. To secure your spot, I highly encourage you to schedule your appointments well in advance. There’s been a change in policies that will be reflected on my new website. Cancellations must be 24 hours notice or will be considered a late cancellation in a charge of 50% of the service will be enacted. There are exceptions of course for family, emergencies and illness and also winter weather coming up and other such emergencies. This is standard practice for the large majority of massages and spas and in the past, I have not enacted this type of policy before. Please know when any appointment is canceled with short notice. It is highly unlikely that I can fill that spot so soon so this protects the practice so I can continue providing what I know my clients need and what I love to do. Again and as always to my clients thank you I am grateful for having each and every one of you..
➡️ New Offerings & Upcoming Events:
* Forest Therapy Walk: Keep an eye out! I'll be announcing a guided walk for the end of October. Dates will be posted by the end of this week. I will be looking into some winter forest therapy dates as well. Those dates and locations will be posted by the end of the month.
* Small Group Sound Baths: I am planning a few cozy, immersive sound healing sessions in the studio for November and December. Perfect for pre-holiday grounding! We all need it!
* Online Store Coming Soon: I am getting ready for the holidays and 2026 . I will be offering more wholesale of the items that I craft . I'm building an online shop for my botanical creations, including my candles and incense. My incense currently is available at the Dragons Den and Treasures in downtown, Fredericksburg and candles are available at Agora Downtown coffee shop!
Thank you for being part of this journey. I am so grateful to continue nurturing this space and our community in new, rooted ways.
With gratitude,
Rachel
