Black Forest, CO Spa and Massage

Structure Therapeutic Massage and Body Work owner and founder Jeanette Falu-Bishop began her massage-therapy career on U.S. military bases in Germany, where she provided more than 1,000 hours worth of massages for wounded servicemen. In recognition of her dedication and work, Jeanette received a Presidential Volunteer Award in 2006, signed by former president George W. Bush. Today, she and her staff mollify muscular discomfort with soothing therapeutic treatments and relaxing massages in a variety of modalities, including deep-tissue, Swedish, sports, and hot-stone therapy. The team uses refreshing essential oils to complement treatments, which can increase blood flow, improve skin tone, promote joint flexibility, and restore the body's ability to escape awkward situations by melting and seeping under door cracks.

Scents of lavender, peppermint, and wild orange infuse each visit to Natural Therapeutics, an alternative wellness center that tames tension with a soothing blend of massage strokes and doTerra essential oils. Ten licensed massage therapists pair Western modalities such as Swedish massage with Eastern styles such as shiatsu to address problems ranging from migraine headaches to post-traumatic stress disorder. The studio’s signature service is the AromaTouch integrative massage, during which the therapist applies essential oils to the body’s energy pathways, calling upon their antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties to help to calm the nervous system and detoxify the body. The center also stocks the full line of doTerra products, allowing clients to carry the therapeutic-grade essences home with them for proud display in their own home oil cellar.
