Grand Opening - ATL Restorative Massage Opens Massage and Workouts Studio in Buford!
ATL Restorative Massage is celebrating our Grand Opening during the month of April. We are timing the official Grand Opening Day in conjunction with Buford’s Spring Festival on Sat, April 13 th . Won’t you come celebrate with us?
All co-op members and vendors are invited to meet the staff from 11:00am-4:00pm at our Buford Spring Festival booth, near the Bona Allen Mansion (between S. Hill and S. Wilson on Main St in Old Town Buford.) After enjoying the festival, you’ll be thirsty, so head over to the studio at 10 Garnett St NE #1-B, Buford 30518, from 11:00am-6:00pm for lemonade, cookies and a free vial of Stress Relief oil, made from our co-op’s Southern Essentials therapeutic oils.
Here is a little information about ATL Restorative Massage…
About the therapist:
I’m Joseph Nichols. I grew up in Suwanee, and my dad, mom and uncle, (Alan Nichols, Pam Wilkinson & Chuck Wilkinson,) have been part of Suwanee Co-op for many years -- since Nora delivered out of her garage! A healthy lifestyle and physical fitness are important to me, which is why I chose to become a licensed massage therapist.
Why are you opening a studio?
I’ve operated a mobile massage business since 2012. By opening a studio and adding additional licensed therapists, we can offer a broader range of expertise in many different types of massage, stretching and exercise therapy.
What services do you offer?
My goal is to help people become healthier inside and out. My staff and I focus on stress relief and better health thru different types of massage therapies and fitness workouts. Just a few of these modalities include deep-tissue massage, Thai massage, therapeutic massage, cupping, Graston and others. Where my passion lies, though, and I’m developing a series of courses on this, is motivating people to achieve direction, purpose and fulfillment. One can accomplish this this through guided meditation, becoming centered or grounded, and examining how you perceive the world around you. Our first course in this series is slated for release this Spring.
How do we find you?
Our new studio is located on the lower level of the Advanced Colorations Salon building, at 10 Garnett St NE #1-B, Buford 30518. You can make an appointment or just ask for more information by calling (404) 793-6836. We work by appointment and still do mobile massages as well, so if you just drop by and we don’t answer, we are with a client. You can learn more by visiting our website at www.MassageandWorkouts.com, or by visiting on Sat, April 13 th .
We are looking forward to working with you on your health journey!
