ABOUT US


​​
At Smiling Sage Wellness Center, we recognize the value in considering the Whole Self, when it comes to health. We are open to all who are seeking a refuge…and we’ll send you off feeling better than when you arrived, with a bigger smile!
Our team strives to create an environment that provides a safe place to experience making healthy lifestyle choices, along with having access to professionals who are able to support you and respond to questions as you navigate different stages of your individual journey.
Featuring various workshops and events throughout each month, we aim to create experiences that impact how you feel, promoting more balance within the body, mind, and heart, while also building a community of like-minded individuals who are trying to live our best lives.
We also host Holistic Wellness Days once per month, where we bring other practitioners in from the surrounding area, to offer their specialty or expertise so that YOU can have access to exploring a variety of modalities in the healing arts. There is so much to choose from, and we want you to find the best match for you!
In short: we are service oriented, providing community connection in an environment of wellness-related activities (from movement, music, and massage to reflexology breathwork, and much more). There is always something to learn about & add to the possibilities!
TESTIMONIALS
"Beyond a doubt, Julie is the best massage practitioner that I have experienced. She is knowledgeable, incorporates herbal essences to needed areas, and she is a gifted healer. I can feel a lasting difference in my body after two treatements."
-- Marla C.
"Since knee surgery and a torn shoulder, I thought I'd never be able to do yoga or exercise again. Each time I tried I got hurt and discouraged. Jennifer provided just the help I needed to get moving again. With her expert guidance and enthusiastic encrouagement I have been able to rebuild a routine that feels safe and accessible. I had given up on ever having an active life again, but working with Jen has given me hope."
"As I aged I had become more and more aware of joint stiffness and diminshing flexibility. My desire to stay in shape and enjoy a higher quality of life raised a curiosity about yoga. I wanted to try it to experience the potential benefits. Jennifer Smith introcuced me to the basics. Under her guidance, my body began to respond to the movements and exercises. The results were rewarding. I gained flexibility, my posture improved and joint pain diminished. This has allowed me to exercise more, hike more, work out more, get in better shape and feel better about myself. I continue to practice the yoga exercises that Jennifer introduced me to and have begun adding Tai Chi to my regiment."
“I’ve had problems with my hip and back ever since an auto accident back in 1997 (including an artificial hip). I have tried literally dozens and dozens of body work therapists from all over the world, and Julie is hands-down the BEST therapist I have ever had! Her ability to ‘listen’ to my body and know where the root of the problems lie is uncanny, and she has the skills and tools to alleviate whatever she discovers. I had given up hope on ever having a “normal” pain-free body before working with Julie. Her work has helped me to reclaim my freedom and my life. --Chris M
“Julie is so generous in her service to others, no agenda, no conditions. She is always there to answer any questions I may have. Julie has been an incredible coach.” -- C.H.
