It is our mission to provide massage therapy as an act of service for our community. We have worked to create a beautiful, safe haven where our clients can relax, heal, and take the time to address that which may be ailing them. We all contend with issues ranging from everyday stress to chronic pain, and it is our belief that when we commit to caring for ourselves, everyone around us benefits from that healing. It is our pledge to meet each client who walks through our door with utmost honor and respect, and to treat their individual issues with compassion, attentiveness and dignity. At Wild Rose, we believe deeply in the body’s ability to heal itself. Our staff is committed to embodying that truth through the art of massage therapy. True healing begins when the balance between deep relaxation and advanced therapeutic technique is achieved, and achieving that balance is the goal of every session at Wild Rose. Each treatment is tailored to the needs of each individual client, allowing our therapists to integrate whatever modalities might be of most benefit to the client. We look forward to assisting you on your unique therapeutic journey to better health, and in turn, a better quality of life.

The History of Asheville
Before European settlement, Asheville was part of the Cherokee Nation. Bearing the name Untokiasdiyi, meaning “Where they race,” the Cherokee people used the area as a gathering place.
Settlement didn’t occur until after the Revolutionary War, in 1784, when Colonel Samuel Davidson and his family arrived, claiming land through a soldier’s grant. The settlement, initially named “Morristown,” was later renamed Asheville in honor of North Carolina Governor Samuel Ashe.
Asheville became an important outpost in the Blue Ridge Mountains, attracting famous travelers like Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett. The city flourished during the railway boom into the 1920s but faced a significant setback during the stock market crash of 1929. However, thanks to a committed urban renewal plan and efforts to maintain the city’s charm, Asheville transformed into the vibrant culture hub it is today.
