GETTING HERE
Our location is peacefully remote! Please plan ahead and download gps directions before you leave. Cell signal can be spotty.
​
Once you turn off HWY 89, you'll be driving 3 miles down a dirt/gravel road. Set your odometer because you may think you've gone too far. Keep going! Watch for the giant crazy mansion and our driveway is about 1/4 mile further. Watch for the sign and prayer flags on the left.
ALL ARE WELCOME
This sacred space of healing is safe and nurturing for all. I do not tolerate racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, xenophobia or misogyny. Basically, be kind. ​​
TRAUMA INFORMED
CARE

the STUDIO
​
Situated on 10 serene acres, my private studio is truly in the backcountry yet only 15 minutes from downtown Kanab. We are surrounded by peaceful, golden shinarump mesas (actually, the first "step" in the Grand Staircase National Monument) and protected BLM land. Relax with a complementary cup of tea after your massage and feel the spirit of the ancient ones who lived and thrived among these breathtaking cliffs.
Massage can be performed outdoors, weather permitting.

ABOUT
Ali Route, Licensed Massage Therapist/Owner
​
After earning my professional massage therapy license in January of 2016 and through early 2022, I worked at luxury spas One Ocean Resort in Atlantic Beach, FL, Five Petals Spa in Zion National Park, and the world famous Amangiri Resort in Big Water, UT. I learned so many amazing top tier treatments and thrived in the upscale environment where celebrity clients entrusted me with their care. But something was missing; the deeply healing connections I have now built with my private clients.
​
Currently, I practice exclusively out of my private southern Utah studio ​where I've honed an incredibly strong intuition and healing ability. There's truly a deep connection with my clients and most would agree there's more to a massage than manipulating tissue. I create a safe, restorative and transcendent healing experience.
​
In 2023 I became certified in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy. Clients who have a history of trauma that presents concerns with touch therapy receive extra attention. I provide in-depth communications before, during and after the session and offer the utmost respect for your boundaries and comfort level.
​
My dog, Roxy, and I welcome you to our backcountry haven and thank you for entrusting us with your care.
Be well,
Ali & Roxy Route
