How We Got Here
➺ AND WHERE WE ARE GOING
Fern & Thistle started in 2018 as a one-room massage practice. In 2024, we opened St. Johns Spa — a cozy expansion in our own neighborhood, built around the same values of rest, equity, and care.
We launched a small Kickstarter to help bring that spa vision to life. It didn’t fully fund, but it sparked something: more clarity, more community support, and a movement studio that’s already up and running.
Now, we’re merging both offerings — massage and movement — into one steady home: Fern & Thistle Massage and Spa. We’re not trying to be a glamour spa. We’re building something simpler: a place for real people to feel better, close to home.
This July, we’re working full-steam ahead to open our full spa by August 1. Help fund the final push by purchasing one of our limited presale packages through Vagaro.
