efore becoming a massage therapist, I was working a job 40-hours a week with a college education. I desperately needed self care, but after looking at my bank account, I realized if I chose the self care, I couldn’t afford gas to get to work that week. A college degree couldn’t even buy me a massage. What type of America did I live in? Fast forward to today— I am now the owner of one of those self care facilities. It’s Twenty14 Massage Studio.

Our motto is RISE because we persevere and hope against all odds. We use dance to teach our students about determination, supporting others, setting goals, and always striving to be the best version of themselves; lessons which will hopefully live with them the rest of their lives. We aim to train our dancers in all genres and believe the benefits of dance should be available and enjoyed by every person of every ability level.
We are the spot for your special event! Weddings, rehearsal dinners, reunions, anniversaries, bachelorette parties, baby showers and more. We can host parties of 72 for a sit-down dinner, or 100 cocktail style. Spill out on to the patio to double that. Need something larger? We can accommodate parties of up to 250 under a tent on the grounds. Something smaller? Check out our upstairs party room with the best view in the house.
