Want to Know What to Expect During Your First Massage Session?
Your first massage session is all about helping you feel comfortable and relaxed. When you arrive, your therapist will talk with you about your needs, any areas you’d like to focus on, and your comfort level. You’ll have privacy to undress to your comfort—some clients undress fully, while others prefer to keep undergarments on.
During the massage, you’ll be covered with a sheet or towel, and only the area being worked on will be uncovered. Your therapist will check in with you about pressure and comfort throughout the session. You can always speak up if you’d like more or less pressure, or if you have any questions.
After your massage, you’ll have a few moments to relax and get dressed. Your therapist may offer tips for aftercare or answer any questions you have. The goal is for you to leave feeling refreshed, relaxed, and cared for!

Many people also notice improved flexibility, faster recovery from workouts, and a greater sense of calm and balance. Making massage a regular part of your self-care routine supports both your body and mind, helping you feel your best every day.
The length of your session is completely up to you. Whether you choose 40 minutes or 100 minutes, each massage brings its own benefits and is tailored to what you need most.

Mary Jo Majerus’ entrepreneurial journey and a life-long passion for sharing the healing properties of therapeutic massage began in 1983 in a barn on the outskirts of Philadelphia.
Mary Jo was a middle school teacher, but she had taken a keen interest in massage therapy. She was unable to afford the trip from Philly to New York City or Boulder (the only U.S. cities that had certified massage therapy programs), so she jumped at the opportunity to learn in her own backyard.
She left the barn renewed purpose – one she carried with her when she and her family moved to Rochester in 1986. Not long after the move, Mary Jo found herself a single parent and without an income to care for her two young daughters. She had no choice but to go on welfare while she struggled to earn enough to support them. She started work as a massage therapist in a small room inside a tanning salon and then moved into her own space in Downtown Rochester. Business was inexplicably slow. When Mary Jo called the other massage centers in town to inquire, she was shocked to learn all of them were houses for illegal prostitution!
Mary Jo knew for her business to be successful she needed to take action. She became an advocate for legitimate massage services and worked tirelessly to change the negative stigma, teaching community education classes and speaking anywhere that would have her. By 1988, Mary Jo had moved her business 2 times and was near the Mayo Clinic. She began giving massages to doctors and nurses, terminally ill patients with cancer and HIV, and the families of patients visiting the clinic. In 1999, she returned to teaching when she opened the Massage & Spa Professional Academy (MSPA).
Despite the challenges, Mary Jo’s commitment to wellness and massage has never wavered. She’s trained hundreds of students over the last 30 years, and her pioneering work and persistence paved the way for other legitimate providers to enter the market.
Mary Jo is proud to announce the opening a new location in the Hilton Hotel, downtown Rochester. Healing Touch Spa now has two beautifully appointed locations: Healing Touch at the Hilton and Healing Touch at Shoppes at University Square. Healing Touch offers a spa experience unlike any other in Southern Minnesota.
