ISO: Skilled laborers who would be interested in bartering for massage services. If you have experience with the homestead lifestyle and interested in bartering labor, I’d love to hear from you. Our long term goal is to establish a nonprofit retreat on the property. I’m open to sharing our gifts and ideas. # greenhouse # solar # off grid # self sufficiency ... # Nigerian dwarf goat See more

Come RELAX and GROW with me! As many of you know, I have still not been able to gain access to my office space within Riverwoods Senior Living Community due to Covid -19. I thank everyone who has reached out to me as I searched for alternative office space. I’m pleased to say that my roommate has been incredibly generous in allowing me to utilize what was much needed basement storage space as a temporary massage studio. It ain’t fancy folks, but all we can do is the best we... can, right? I’m looking for your feedback and suggestions as we continue to plan and build the most awesome relaxation retreat. Many of you have been curious as to what my future plan is. Spring will bring the next phase of our rustic retreat/bed and breakfast, focused on veterans, but also open to anyone who just needs to decompress. How does a massage, soak in a hot tub, home cooked meal, campfire with some homemade beer or wine, and some farm animal therapy sound to you? That’s just the start of it! I’m excited to make this a reality for all to enjoy. Zip line and baby goats coming soon!

As many of you already know, there is a mandated closure of all spa services for 2 weeks. I am planning to reopen March 31st. Please don’t spread panic or false information. I plan to utilize my time wisely, get some projects done, and RELAX!
