Koru Touch

🌊💜 Experience the Rhythm of the Pacific… in Every Massage. 💜🌊

At Koru Touch, our Certified Esalen® Massage is distinguished by its signature long, flowing strokes that move continuously from fingers to toes, inspired by the natural rhythm of ocean waves.

This graceful approach helps calm the nervous system while creating a deeply nurturing experience that supports relaxation, circulation, body awareness, and a profound sense of wholeness.

To elevate this ritual, we pair our massage with Shankara Soothing Body Oil, an Ayurvedic blend featuring:

🪻 Lavender to calm and relax

🌼 Calendula to soothe and nourish

🍋🌿 Lemon Balm (Melissa) to restore emotional balance

Together, the flowing artistry of Esalen Massage and the botanical wisdom of Shankara invite you into a state where the body softens, the mind quiets, and everyday stress gently dissolves.

Imagine lying beside the Pacific Ocean…

Wave after wave washing across the shoreline…

Now imagine that same rhythm translated into therapeutic touch.

That is the experience we invite you to receive.

✨ Restore your nervous system.
✨ Reconnect with yourself.
✨ Return to peace.

🌿✨ Sometimes the greatest treatment begins before you ever enter the treatment room. ✨🌳

There are moments when life asks us to pause.

To remove our shoes.
To stand barefoot upon the Earth.
To rest a hand against the wisdom of an ancient tree.
To become aware of the rhythm of our own breath.

In those simple acts, something beautiful begins to happen. 🌎🤍

The nervous system softens.
The mind becomes quieter.
The heart remembers what it has known all along.

From this place of presence, our prayers become intentions, and our intentions become quiet messages carried into the Universe with clarity, trust, and hope. ✨💚

At Koru Touch, we believe self-care is more than a treatment—it is a practice of remembering. It is an opportunity to step away from the constant movement of the world and return to the wisdom already living within you.

When we slow down, we often discover that the answers we have been searching for were never outside of us. They have been patiently waiting beneath the surface, ready to emerge the moment we become still enough to listen. 🌿🦋

Our wish is that every person who enters Koru Touch feels welcomed into a space of compassion, presence, and peace—a sanctuary where the body can exhale, the spirit can expand, and the authentic self can gently come forward.

May today offer you a quiet moment to breathe deeply, connect with the Earth, and remember that you are supported, guided, and wonderfully connected to the living world around you. 🌳✨🤲

With gratitude,
Koru Touch Holistic Healing Arts 💚

🇩🇪⚽✨ Some professional experiences reach far beyond the work itself and settle permanently into the heart.

This summer, I received the extraordinary honor of being chosen to serve as a massage therapist supporting the German National Football Team during their training camp in Winston-Salem.

After 26 years in massage therapy, I understand more deeply than ever that the treatment room is a meeting place—one where titles, expectations, public attention, and the pressures of performance can quietly fall away. What remains is the human being: the breath, the nervous system, the body asking for restoration, and the trust required to receive care. 💆‍♂️🌿

Within that sacred space, I encountered remarkable professionalism, humility, dignity, kindness, and mutual respect. Each player met me with authenticity and presence. I was trusted to do the work I have devoted my life to, and I offered that work with the same respect, focus, and heartfelt intention. 🤍🙏

The spirit this team brought from Germany carried a beautiful light into Winston-Salem and across North America—a reminder of what becomes possible when people from different nations meet through shared purpose rather than division. Sport can create a current of excitement, discipline, creativity, courage, and human connection. It calls each individual to bring forward their personal best while honoring the gifts of others. 🌍🤝✨

From the earliest traditions of competitive sport, people have gathered across cultures and borders to test their abilities, refine their character, and inspire one another toward excellence. In that meeting place, competition becomes more than winning or losing. It becomes a language of devotion, teamwork, focus, and respect.

To have supported these athletes in the quiet moments behind the scenes was among the greatest privileges of my professional life. My gratitude for this experience runs far deeper than words can fully express.

To the German National Football Team, thank you for your trust, your graciousness, and the humanity you brought into every interaction. This chapter will remain with me for the rest of my life. 🇩🇪🤍⚽✨

🌿✨ More Than a Facial. More Than Self-Care. A Return to Yourself. ✨🌿

At Koru Touch, we believe true skincare begins long before a serum touches the skin.

It begins with presence.

With being seen.
With being nurtured.
With being given permission to pause in a world that rarely slows down.

Every holistic facial we offer is individually curated, blending advanced facial massage, whole-plant skincare, energetic awareness, and restorative touch into an experience that honors the whole person—not just the complexion.

🌱 Skin
💚 Heart
✨ Mind
🕊️ Spirit

Working with the living intelligence of Laurel’s farm-to-face botanical formulations, each treatment becomes a unique unfolding. One guest may benefit from Gua Sha and lymphatic techniques. Another may receive crystal light therapy, Esogetic Colorpuncture®, sound healing, breathwork, affirmations, or moments of profound stillness.

No two journeys are ever the same.

We often say that the skin is a reflection of our inner landscape. When stress softens, when the nervous system feels safe, when the body is given space to rest and receive, something beautiful begins to happen.

The light within starts to shine again. ✨

Our intention is simple:

To create a sanctuary where guests feel cared for, supported, and gently guided back into harmony with themselves.

🌿 Spirit.
🌿 Soul.
🌿 Skin.

Let us take you on a journey back to true self.

✨ THE GIFT OF REMEMBERING ✨

At Koru Touch, we often witness something beautiful.

A guest arrives carrying the weight of responsibilities, expectations, unanswered questions, and the constant movement of life.

Then something begins to shift.

The breath deepens.

The shoulders soften.

The mind grows quiet.

And beneath the noise, a deeper truth becomes available.

We believe wellness is not about adding more to your life.

It is about creating enough space to hear what has always been there.

Whether through massage therapy, holistic skincare, Esogetic Colorpuncture, vibrational healing, or Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique®, our intention is the same:

🌿 To create sanctuary.🌿 To cultivate presence.🌿 To support self-discovery.🌿 To encourage meaningful self-care.🌿 To help you reconnect with the wisdom already within you.

Sometimes the answers we seek do not arrive through effort.

Sometimes they arrive through stillness.

And in that stillness, we remember who we are.

Our newest Koru Touch Blog explores this reflection and the beauty of returning to ourselves.

🌿 KORU TOUCH IS CELEBRATING 15 YEARS! 🌿🎉

This month marks a very special milestone for us.

Fifteen years ago, Koru Touch opened its doors with a simple vision: to create a welcoming space where wellness, compassion, and genuine care could thrive.

Over the years, that vision has continued to grow because of one thing:
💚 Relationship.

The relationships we've built with our guests.
The relationships that connect us to our community.
The relationships that remind us of the importance of slowing down and caring for ourselves.

✨ For fifteen years, Koru Touch has sought to be a bridge—helping people reconnect with themselves, with nature, with community, and with the wisdom that has always lived within them.

Whether through massage therapy, holistic facials, wellness experiences, or simply a quiet moment of rest, our goal has always been the same: to provide a space where people feel supported, renewed, and cared for.

To every guest who has trusted us with your wellness journey, thank you. 🙏

Your loyalty, encouragement, and support have helped make Koru Touch what it is today.

We are honored to serve this incredible community and look forward to many more years of connection, healing, and heart-centered care.

With gratitude,
Ray Pruett & Gregory Cartwright 💚

🌿 Ancient Wisdom. Modern Recognition. 🌿

At Koru Touch, we believe the body responds deeply to grounded, intentional plant allies — especially during therapeutic abdominal work and times of emotional or hormonal transition.

One of the sacred oils we incorporate into our Massage Therapy Rituals is Shankara Harmonizing Body Oil, an Ayurvedic-inspired blend traditionally formulated to support steadiness, emotional harmony, and balance throughout the changing seasons of life.

Recently honored as Best Hormone Balancing Treatment at the 17th Annual Earth Day Beauty Awards by Healing Lifestyles, Harmonizing Oil bridges over 5,000 years of Ayurvedic wisdom with the evolving landscape of conscious beauty and wellness.

Within Gregory’s Abdominal Massage Rituals, this oil is valued for its grounding and stabilizing qualities. The nourishing sesame and neem oil base combines with black cohosh, sage, wild yam, and shatavari to create a deeply rooted experience that supports relaxation, emotional release, and reconnection to the body’s center.

The abdomen is often called the emotional core of the body — a place where stress, memory, and tension can quietly accumulate. Harmonizing Oil offers warmth, steadiness, and support during this deeply restorative work.

✨ Available within select Massage Therapy Rituals
✨ Available for retail purchase through the Koru Touch online shopping cart

We are honored to share this beautiful formulation with our guests both in the treatment room and at home.

🔥🌸 Beltane at Koru Touch — A Season of Renewal & Vitality 🌸🔥

As we move into Beltane on the Celtic Wheel, we enter a time of expansion, warmth, and embodied aliveness. Nature reflects this beautifully — flowers in bloom, longer days, and a palpable sense of energy returning to the body and spirit.

At Koru Touch, we honor these seasonal shifts as opportunities for deeper alignment and intentional self-care.

Beltane represents:
• Vitality and life force energy 🔥
• Heart opening and emotional renewal 💗
• Connection to the senses and the body 🌿
• A gentle awakening of creativity and joy ✨

To support this transition, we are highlighting the Beltane Elixir by Romany Botanicals — a thoughtfully crafted flower essence blend of rose, sage flower, cosmos, comfrey, and larkspur 🌸

This elixir works subtly yet powerfully to:
✨ Encourage emotional openness
✨ Support energetic flow
✨ Reconnect you with your natural rhythms
✨ Invite a renewed sense of vitality

Flower essences integrate beautifully with bodywork, holistic facials, and energy healing — supporting the deeper layers of relaxation and restoration our clients seek.

We invite you to explore this season with intention.

Whether through a treatment, a moment of stillness, or the addition of plant-based support like this elixir, Beltane offers a powerful opportunity to reconnect with your own sense of aliveness.

🌿 Now is the time to bloom
🔥 Now is the time to receive
🌸 Now is the time to come back to yourself

On Palm Sunday, we gathered in a quiet, intentional space for a group past life regression—aligned with the natural rhythm of spring’s unfolding. 🌿✨

Just as the Earth begins to open and renew, this work invites a similar process within—allowing insight, memory, and awareness to rise gently to the surface. 🌱

In a supportive group setting, participants are guided into deep relaxation, where the conscious mind softens and intuitive awareness expands. 🕊️ From this space, many experience meaningful impressions—images, emotions, or messages that offer clarity and a deeper sense of connection.

Each experience is unique, yet what is shared is the environment: one of safety, presence, and openness. 🤍

These gatherings are designed to create a space where individuals can step away from daily noise and reconnect with themselves in a more profound way. 🌙

We are honored to hold this work and to support each person’s journey as it naturally unfolds. 🌊

If you feel called to explore, future group sessions will be announced soon. ✨
