Our Story
Welcome to Thérapie, we're Colleen and Ronda, partners in life and business,
and Owners of Thérapie Day Spa.
Our journey began in 2017, following the heartbreaking loss of Ronda’s only child, Dustin. In the wake of this profound grief, we embarked on a deep and transformative healing journey. We sought solace and understanding through the wisdom of gifted healers, practitioners, and energy workers who guided us in processing our sorrow and finding new pathways to peace.
This journey not only helped us heal but also inspired us to create a sanctuary for others seeking solace and healing. We understand that grief and loss is universal, and that we all seek connection, purpose, and fulfillment as part of our healing journey.
At Thérapie, we offer a range of holistic services designed to promote healing, balance, and connectedness to yourself and your life. Our dedicated practitioners provide massage therapy, facial and skin treatments, energy healing, Reiki, crystal healing, chakra clearings, and many other healing techniques, all crafted to support you in achieving a harmonious and balanced life.
Our holistic approach aims to help you restore balance, rediscover joy, and cultivate a deeper connection with yourself and your spirit. Embracing the rich diversity of cultural traditions, we foster an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcomed, respected, and valued for who they are. We invite you to learn more about our dedicated and gifted practitioners below.
