The Beyond Gold Wellness Collective

Some days in this profession teach you more than any class ever could. 💛 Today, I started with a Golden Glow Lymphatic Massage for a guest whose needs honestly felt far beyond my pay grade. I left that session questioning myself, wondering if I was enough, and reminding myself that I’m not a doctor. I don’t diagnose, prescribe, or have all the answers. Then my next guest came in for a Hawaiian Lava Salt Glow + Wrap because her lower back had been bothering her. Thirty minutes later, she smiled and said she felt “lighter” and “less inflamed.” 🥹🌺 And just like that, I remembered why I chose spa work in the first place. My job isn’t to fix every problem that walks through my door. It’s to create a peaceful space, offer skilled, caring hands, and help people feel just a little bit better than when they arrived. Sometimes that’s warmth. Sometimes it’s quiet. Sometimes it’s a really good scrub and a delightfully muddy wrap. 😄🌿 Every profession has its purpose, and today reminded me that ours matters too. If someone leaves Beyond Gold standing a little taller, smiling a little brighter, or simply feeling cared for, then I’d call that a pretty wonderful day’s work. ✨💛

✨ **Free Session Alert: Volunteer Needed!** ✨
We are looking for a volunteer to come in for a **complimentary practice session** to help us test out our newly developed massage candle! This is not your typical candle, it uses a safe, clean blend of soy wax, plant based butters, and  apricot oil with zero beeswax or paraffin. Because it melts at an ultra low temperature (just over 100°F), it feels luxuriously warm on your skin and **will not burn you**. Using a warm massage candle deepens muscle relaxation, intensely hydrates dry skin, and leaves behind a silky, protective moisture barrier without any sticky residue. **Comment below or send us a quick DM** if you would like to claim the spot and try it out! 💆✨

I’ve noticed something in massage therapy groups that makes me chuckle a little. Someone says, “My body is sore,” or, “I’m struggling with a health issue that’s making massage harder,” and instead of getting advice, they sometimes get a lecture. Suddenly we’re acting like every massage therapist is supposed to wake up at 5 AM, do hot yoga while eating kale with one hand and meditating with the other, all before their first client. 😂 Here’s the thing: taking care of yourself is important. Ergonomics matter. Rest matters. Good habits matter. But there’s a pretty big difference between offering helpful advice and turning someone’s humanity into a moral failing. We’re all people. Some of us have thyroid conditions. Some of us have chronic pain. Some of us overheat. Some of us occasionally eat a candy bar for breakfast because adulthood is weird. 🍫 None of that automatically determines whether someone is a compassionate, knowledgeable, skilled massage therapist. I don’t need my healthcare providers to be perfect. I need them to be kind, well-trained, ethical, and willing to keep learning. That’s the standard I hold myself to, too. So if you’re a therapist who’s doing your best while also being gloriously, imperfectly human… welcome to the club. I saved you a seat. 💛

Life gets hard for all of us. We recognize that, so here at The Beyond Gold Wellness Collective we believe the small added touches make the wellness experience even better. Book yourself a little “me time “ today. 218-481-7881 or www.BeyondGoldWellness.gold

Life is hard... Then you come here. We offer pre session warm house made almond vanilla milk, butter cookies and a single bite of dark chocolate with almond. Relax your feet in a wooden basin foot soak with warm basalt stones and a aromatherapy effervescence. Enjoy a heated neck wrap using the finest cherry pit pillow.

Guest comfort is everything, but behind the scenes, every therapist has their own way of staying in the zone.

Because I track time by audio, I'm always streaming something. I’m a complete creature of habit, but I had to ban comedies from the rotation after a few too many moments of trying to smother a laugh mid-treatment. It definitely compromises the vibe.

So today, the soundtrack to my focus was a massive train heist in the New Mexico desert. Walter, Jesse, a thousand gallons of methylamine, and pure concentration. Perfect pacing, zero sudden laughter, pure focus.

Those who know... know. 🤫

What’s the unexpected thing that helps you stay in the zone at work? 🎧

We had a little time between sessions today so we stepped out our Superior St entrance to an amazing community event. We met some amazing people as well. I played a drawing game at the Duluth Art Institute, I picked 2 prompts which were butterfly and yogurt lol I think I nailed it!  We had hoagie sandwiches for lunch from Northstar Hoagies. And I got the pedal llama! Highlight of the day!
