I am supporting Project 16:49 by collecting school supplies for unaccompanied homeless youth.

Their mission is powerful:

“The 16 hours and 49 minutes between school ending one day and beginning the next is a lonely, frightening and dangerous time for our unaccompanied homeless youth… We offer safety, hope and life-changing opportunities and support that allow our youth to complete their high school education, increase their self-sufficiency, and develop key life skills as they prepare for independent living.”

How it works:

✨Donate any school supply item from the Project 16:49 list or make a monetary donation via Venmo with the note project 16:49

✨Bring your donation to your appointment before August 15 at noon or send your Venmo donation by that time.

✨You’ll receive $10 off any service as my thank-you for helping local youth start their school year strong. This will be added to your account as a credit if you do not have an appointment in the Timeframe

Together, we can support kids who need it most while giving back to you for your generosity.

Let’s help local kids start the school year strong! 💛

Beginning September 1, 2025 my session rate will shift to $100 per hour. This change reflects the value of the work I offer and supports me in continuing to show up fully for each of you, with the care, energy, and presence this work deserves.

A few important notes:
All sessions already booked at the current rate will be honored.
Gift certificates purchased before July 7, 2025 will be honored at their original value through their expiration date.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m so grateful to continue supporting your wellness journey and look forward to seeing you soon.

With deep gratitude,
Nicole Tietz, LMT

✨ Exciting News from Beyond Salt Spa! ✨

As some of you may have seen, Beyond Salt Spa is transitioning to new ownership starting August 1st. Sue, who has created such a beautiful and healing space, is passing the torch to Christine Hopkins, a fellow healer and space holder who brings so much heart and vision.

I want to take a moment to share that this transition does not affect NorthStar Massage. I’ll continue practicing in the same cozy room you all know and love, offering the same care and energy you’ve come to expect. If anything, this next chapter brings even more opportunity for growth within my practice.

I’m excited for what’s ahead and deeply grateful to continue supporting your wellness journey right here at Beyond.

With love & gratitude,
Nikki 💛

Hello all,

Sue here! I wanted to personally share some exciting news with you all. As of August 1st, Beyond Salt Spa will be transitioning to new ownership. After much reflection and with my health in mind, I’ve made the decision to sell the spa in order to focus on my own healing journey.

Christine Hopkins—whom many of you may know through her work with Intuitive Unraveling and Beyond Blame—will be stepping in as the new owner. Christine brings a deep commitment to healing and community, and I truly believe she is the right person to lead Beyond Salt Spa into its next chapter. She shares our values and intends to maintain and grow the spa’s offerings, staff, and collaborative spirit.

She’ll begin shadowing in July, and I’ll be supporting her during the transition to ensure a smooth handoff.

Thank you for being a part of this journey with me. Your support, collaboration, and connection have meant so much. I hope you’ll join me in warmly welcoming Christine. We will be sharing more about Christine and her story later today so you can recognize her when you come in and give her a warm welcome!

With gratitude,

Sue Schumacher

Over the past year, I’ve been immersed in something amazing…. studying herbalism!! I’m so excited to share that I’ve officially received my first Herbalist Certificate! 💚

This journey has been incredibly rewarding, and I know there is SO MUCH more to learn. I’ve already started weaving this knowledge into my work and my personal life.
I’m deeply committed to offering care that’s thoughtful, intentional, and rooted in both science and nature. Thank you for being part of this evolving path with me….your support means the world!!
I can’t wait to share more with you! 🌿
