The little things make a big difference.

Our hospitality corner got a sweet upgrade today from Verse Chocolate, and it fits perfectly with what we’re all about: thoughtful touches to help you feel genuinely welcomed the moment you walk in the door.

Thank you Verse for crafting something worth sharing.

From a pop-up shop to a fulfilled clinic inside CrossFit Republic, Refuge Wellness has evolved with many friends and clients surrounding its growth. We would not be living out our purpose without being able to serve you and your families!

On January 2, 2026, Refuge Wellness will fully transition to a new location at 1856 North Commerce Drive, Nixa, MO 65714.

In our new location, we will be welcoming the talents of Sarah Rone and Klee Goes--and are excited to hone our crafts together to better serve you!

Sarah Rone, you ARE and always will be Therapeutic Massage of Willard As you turn the page, we are so grateful for you to be joining the team at Refuge Wellness. You, your clients, and your craft are welcome!!

Here's to growing together!

Sarah will begin seeing clients at Refuge Wellness' new location beginning in January 2026 at 1856 North Commerce Drive, Nixa, MO 65714

I am sad to announce that Therapeutic Massage of Willard willl be closing at the end of this month. With the rent increase in the East Shopping Center I won’t be able to keep my doors open.

Thank you for trusting me to help you in your health journey! It has been a wonderful near decade of serving the Willard community!

Starting Jan, I will be joining forces with Refuge Wellness. I hope to see many of you as I transition to a new location. I will post more info and updates here as the month progresses so there won’t be any gaps in your appointments.

My heart is heavy as I close this chapter so abruptly, but also hopeful and excited for the next chapter! Refuge Wellness is top-notch, and I am honored to be joining their team!

Great evening supporting the determined mission of Isabel's House - to provide refuge for children whose families are in crisis.

Being surrounded by such a sterling community inspires us to continue giving, growing, and fighting for people’s wellbeing, regardless of age or circumstances. 👊

Continuing in our series of asking our Associate Board members what their "Why" is for being involved! Here's what our Associate Board Secretary, Katie Cook, had to say:

"Isabel’s house works diligently to prioritize children by ensuring the child’s physical, educational, and psychosocial wellness. Isabel’s house focuses on solutions, rather than imperfections, of the foster care system. In that purpose, they efficiently pivot to meet the needs of children in southwest Missouri. And that is my WHY— to emphatically be a part of the pivot that changes the trajectory of kids for the better."

Thank you for the care you show to our families and kids that prevents the need for kids to go into the foster care system, Katie!

"Improving functional performance for a lifetime of wellness" is the creed we live by, filter decisions through, and create relationships around. 💪

Years ago we were invited to support CrossFit Republic athletes through RockTape & RockBlades. Over time that service matured into wellness through touch via massage therapy.

Unbeknownst to us at the time, that one simple growth step opened the doors for us to be a refuge on a spiritual, emotional, and mental level for many of our clients as well - encapsulating our creed and expanding our vision of what "wellness" truly means. 🙏 Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your health and wellness journey! 💙

Looking for a personal trainer?
We have multiple personal trainers to help meet your needs and goals in your fitness journey!
Latasha has started training with Phil Cook an ISSA certified personal trainer, and has answered a few questions about the gym and person training below.

What do you like about Bluejay Barbell?
The gym is close to my house and work. I get to meet new people and I have friends and family to bring me here every day.

Before Bluejay Barbell, what did you do for exercise and were you seeing any progress?
I just walked….and, no, I didn’t see any progress.

How have you felt since joining the gym?
It’s taken me a bit to get my body used to working out.

Why did you start working with a Personal Trainer?
A Personal Trainer gave me someone to push me to work harder, get stronger, move a little faster, and help me succeed.

What have you learned so far training with Phil?
I’ve learned how to work my legs on the hamstring curl and leg extension machines, and I’ve learned how to do interval training on the bike. I’ve also learned that I don’t like the stair machine!

What do you like about working with Phil?
He’s someone who can help me try new things.

What are you excited about moving forward?
Losing weight & moving better!

We are so excited for Latasha. She has been putting in the work and we cannot wait to watch her reach her goals!!
