Kindred Souls, Fort Collins

Kindred Souls proprietor Linda Marriner isn't your average spa owner. She holds certification as a Reiki master, aesthetician, and massage therapist, and spent more than three decades working as a nurse. So it stands to reason that she is out to do more than just pamper bodies–-she aims to nourish and heal them as well. Here, she moisturizes and exfoliates skin with facials and peels performed using locally-made Sanitas skin care products. During therapeutic massage treatments, healing hands promote relaxation with Swedish treatments, keep lymphatic systems flowing, and soften the body's hard chocolate center with deep-tissue techniques.

In addition to helping patients feel healthy, young, and revitalized, Marriner proudly serves the community around her through her support for programs such as Hope Lives and Pathways Hospice.
