I don’t even know where to start… but I guess I’ll start with thank you.
Thank you for the most magical three years of my life. When I first opened my company, I was absolutely terrified. I was fresh out of massage school, in a new state, with no clients and no idea what I was doing. I just took a deep breath, jumped in feet-first, and hoped for the best. And somehow, you—my community—caught me. You believed in me when I barely believed in myself. You gave me purpose, support, and more love than I ever imagined possible.
Over the years, I’ve learned so much from every single one of you—your stories, your strength, your kindness. You’ve poured your trust, your wisdom, and your hearts into me, and I’ll never be able to express how much that’s meant.
I’ve always tried to be transparent with my people, because I know that if I’m struggling, someone else probably is too. And maybe hearing my truth will remind you that you’re not alone. This last year has been the hardest one yet for me, health-wise. Many of you already know I’ve battled chronic migraines since I was young, but this year they’ve taken a heavier toll. I’ve been so sick—physically and mentally—and I’ve tried everything to keep up. I’ve changed my hours, limited my schedule, adjusted my routines… but nothing has helped.
It’s been heartbreaking to realize that the thing that once brought me so much joy and healing has started to drain me. When helping others feel better makes me feel worse, it’s hard to keep pushing forward. I miss my spark. I miss feeling strong and grounded in my work. I miss giving you all the 110% you deserve.
So, as much as it hurts to say it, it’s time for me to step back. I need to take care of myself—the same way I’ve spent years taking care of others. I plan to continue my career in massage therapy in the future, but right now, I need to rest, heal, and focus on my body and mind. I’ll also be moving next year to be closer to my family, and it just feels like the right time to close this chapter—no matter how much it breaks my heart to do so.
Magic Valley… thank you. Thank you for welcoming me. Thank you for trusting me with your pain, your healing, your stories, and your hearts. You have no idea how deeply I will miss you all. This isn’t just a business to me—it’s been a part of my soul. Saying goodbye feels like losing a piece of myself.
I will officially be closing my doors on December 24, 2025, so I have time to clean my space and prepare it for the next person who will hopefully love it as much as I have. Please, if you have any gift certificates, use them before then. And if you’re looking for someone with a similar touch and energy, I can’t recommend Andy Hurly at The Healing Den enough. Andy has been a lifeline for me these last few months, and I trust him wholeheartedly to take great care of you.
From the bottom of my heart—thank you. For the laughter, the tears, the conversations, and the countless moments that made this journey so special. You’ve changed my life. 💚
With love always,
– Alexis Doms, LMT
