Healing Touch Massage expands to offer more natural healing options
Healing Touch Massage opened in Basin in April 2023. Owner MauRena Scott set up in a building on Fourth Street that is owned by Renee and Kevin Lewis.
Business was good. So good that Scott needed to expand. When she heard that the former Basin Town Hall was available for rent, she jumped on the opportunity.
Healing Touch moved to 209 South Fourth Street with more room and more services. Scott said, “There was a need in the community for natural healing and modalities.”
Scott is trained in massage, kinesiology, and reflexology and already has chairs for iconic foot baths. The baths are designed to “suck the toxins through the bottom of your feet.” In June Doctor Fish will be added to the “foot room” services. They do a pedicure on your feet by nibbling away the old skin. “This is a room that people can talk back and forth with each other.” She may be adding a hydro massage bed, plants and a sunroof to this room.
There is also an option for those that want a massage but don’t like to be touched by another person. Scott is adding no touch massage chairs to the space.
After training and licensing A Halo Therapy Spa incorporates Red Light Therapy. Halotherapy is breathable salt particles intended to improve breathing including COPD, colds and asthma. Red Light is a low wavelength red light. Some of the benefits are improving your skin’s appearance, pain relief, inflammation, wound healing, and brain health.
Scott is excited about having the combined sauna available to the community.
Coming soon is an herbal tea and apothecary bar. It will have a seating area. Customers may come in, sit and enjoy a cup of tea or they may take mason jars of tea home. There will be teas to help with sore throats, sleeping, etc.
On the apothecary portion there will be oils, soaps, spa and body products. It’s all about health. Even the décor plants will have a purpose like cleaning the air.
The area that held the town vault will become a classroom and sound therapy room.
Customer Eddie Johnson of Greybull raves about Scott. He said he started coming to her after he saw her sign. He had been driving to Worland for massages. “I thought I would try it out and I’ve been coming back every other week since then. She is caring, takes care of you and finds all your aches and pains.”
Despite the town hall moving to the former Riverside High School building in June, Scott says that people still stop in to pay their town bill. She doesn’t mind as she gets to meet new people all the time.
Scott’s services are available by appointment. 307-272-0334.
