Stephanie Barreto

Owner - Acupuncture Detox Specialist

Stephanie Barreto's journey is a profound testament to the transformative power of self-awareness and holistic healing. With an inherent love for learning and an insatiable curiosity about the human body and spirit, Stephanie embarked on a path that not only changed her life but also empowered others to heal and discover their true selves.


Her journey took a significant turn when she was introduced to Emotion Code and Body Code, modalities that revealed the deep connection between emotions and physical ailments. Stephanie's natural compassion, combined with this newfound knowledge, enabled her to guide others in releasing emotional baggage, a process that proved transformative for both her and her clients.


Driven by a passion for holistic wellness, Stephanie delved deeper into the realms of healing. She became proficient in Belief Code, recognizing the profound impact beliefs have on one's reality and well-being. Her practice expanded to include Ho'oponopono, an ancient Hawaiian technique of reconciliation and forgiveness, underscoring her belief in the power of love and forgiveness as essential tools for healing.


ThetaHealing became another cornerstone of Stephanie's practice. Through this technique, she connected with universal energy at a theta brainwave, facilitating deep spiritual healing and emotional release for her clients. Her dedication to mastering diverse healing modalities didn't stop there; she pursued training in Auricular Acupuncture, understanding its capacity to address physical pain and psychological imbalances through the ear's reflex points.


Stephanie's journey of learning and personal growth led her to become a Reiki Master, a role that epitomizes her approach to healing: channeling universal life energy to support the body's intrinsic ability to heal itself. Her holistic skill set is not just about treating symptoms but nurturing a balance that resonates with the body, mind, and spirit.


What makes Stephanie's practice uniquely powerful is her willingness to explore her own depths and shadows, emerging with a brighter, more authentic light. This personal commitment to growth and self-discovery underscores her capacity to empathize deeply with her clients, guiding them with genuine understanding and compassion.


Above all, Stephanie Barreto's life and work are driven by a boundless passion for helping others. Her journey is a beacon of hope and healing, demonstrating the profound power of going within, embracing our truths, and emerging as conduits of love and light in the world. Her legacy lies not just in the techniques she employs but in the hearts she touches, the lives she transforms, and the ripple effect of healing that flows from her.


Ashley Barreto

Massage Therapist

Ashley is a dedicated massage therapist whose life’s work revolves around helping others heal through the power of touch. She reflects on her purpose to help anyone who comes her way by not just relieving physical tension but also to nurture the mind, body, and spirit of those she serves. Ashley believes in the profound connection between touch and emotional healing.


Ashley is a Licensed Massage Therapist who embarked on her healing arts journey after graduating from massage school in 2018. After experiencing how much healing happens through massage she became a believer in the profound connection between touch and emotional healing and was determined to make it a life long career.


Through many personal experiences with spiritual retreats, church missions, and stepping outside her comfort zone Ashley developed a greater interest in the field of energy work and its connection to massage therapy. She pursued various classes, read books, and discovered her passion for expanding her knowledge to enhance her massage practice.

Makia Lomi Lomi marked a significant turning point for Ashley. Following her training in Lomi Lomi, she developed a keen interest in the connection between mind, body, and spirit that is deeply embedded in Hawaiian culture. After further reading and exploring the sacred art of Lomi Lomi, Ashley established a clear objective to offer each client a massage that not only alleviates physical tension but also rejuvenates their energy and spirit in every session.

What sets Ashley apart from many massage therapists is her ability to integrate her diverse knowledge into personalized massage plans tailored to each client's unique needs. She believes that a one-size-fits-all approach is not effective; instead, she focuses on providing a customized experience for every individual.

Overall, Ashley is continually inspired by her passion for wellness and has expanded her skill set to include various massage techniques and energy therapies, such as fascial cupping, prenatal massage, deep tissue work, polarity therapy, lymphatic drainage, and breathwork. She is committed to ongoing education to enhance her expertise in order to better serve her clients.
