Keshia says, “I’ve always loved the beauty industry. In July of 2020, I was hit by a drunk driver and received a broken neck. After being down for months, I was really drawn to healing.” Keshia goes on to explain that after healing from her injury, she saw an advertisement for massage school. She called about the program, entered massage school, and graduated. When she heard about a vacant building in Union, Keshia recognized the possibilities and opened her business on July 17th, 2022. Keshia also gave a touching explanation of why she gladly works in this field. She says that people in the community appreciate having a self care destination close to home, and she benefits from helping people. Keshia adds, “I’m just grateful to be here. I am grateful that I can offer self care to the community and help people who have pain.” Not only does Keshia physically heal, but she also gives everyone attention and sympathy. She says that she has had people come in and not get a massage or a manicure. Some people just like to talk to someone who cares, and Keshia is the perfect person. She is passionate about physical and emotional healing.
Furthermore, Keshia’s business name has an interesting and heartwarming story. The name goes back to helping people. She explains that she chose the name because she wants people to leave her spa feeling transformed. She states, “Your mind and your body can be transformed just by the power of massage.

I want anyone who comes in to have a transforming experience through receiving self care.” Keshia also shares some things her clients have told her.
