About
Journey Well is a restorative massage and bodywork space located in the quaint main street atmosphere of North Wilkesboro, NC. Thai Yoga Massage is our specialty, a style of bodywork with origins from Thailand. A typical session may include stretching, acupressure, deep compressions, and other soft tissue manipulation. Typically, clients stay fully clothed, and minimal oil is used.
Where ancient wisdom and innovation meet, inspired by the story, study, and practice of Traditional Thai Massage. Journey Well is committed to honoring folk traditions that are unique to place, learning about the intersection of mountain culture and healing practices. ( Dr. Pierce Salguero has been an inspiration to study of Asian medicine. )
Other therapeutic modalities are offered, such as the common Swedish and deep tissue massage. At Journey Well, we believe massage and bodywork are effective modalities to promote mental and physical well-being. All sessions are catered to individuals’ comfort level and mobility.
We believe in the body’s ability to heal, creating a space that inspires a global perspective for collective healing and sustainability. We strive to embody principles of the Polyvagal Theory to facilitate co-regulation for healthy relationship transformation. We take seriously our scope of practice and are equipped to refer out to the appropriate medical and mental health professionals.

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound…
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
—“The Peace of Wild Things”
