Returning Home

The experience of being lovingly "pushed out of the nest" of Ashland (nearly two years ago) started me on an unexpected journey which included a brief stint in Portland, marrying my partner Michael, nurturing a pregnancy, relocating to a fantastic farm and community on the Big Island of Hawaii, and giving birth there to our magnificent son, Ember. I thought that would be the end of the upheavals, that we would root into Hawaii and create our life there for quite some time.

Then LIFE, as it often does, surprised us again.

Three weeks ago, we answered the call to come back home to the Rogue Valley. We have landed in Ashland and are thrilled to announce that we have re-opened our practice as Heart Waters Massage LLC.


So who is this “WE?” My husband, Michael Murphy, is also a skilled massage therapist & craniosacral therapist. He brings a diverse and complimentary skillset to HWM, including a recent deep dive into an advanced Hawaiian Lomi Lomi training, and is looking forward to serving the community of Ashland. Please read more about his training and offerings here.

Additionally, we are grateful to have found a wonderful new location from which to practice: a room in the the remarkable and unique Morningstar Healing Arts building (pictured, below).

We are thrilled to be back home in the Rogue Valley, and look forward to seeing you soon! Keep an eye out for upcoming special offers and discounts <3
