Our group partnered with Blossom and Be Wellness for a daylong event for professionals who are leaders in our communities. The therapists were early to set up and stayed late to make sure everyone had an opportunity to receive their care. I believe about 26 people from our group received massage from the three therapists (Phoenix, Avyanna, and Mallory) and many considered it a high point from the day-long retreat. It is our second year to partner with them in this way and hope for more to come.

I highly recommend both Phoenix and Avyanna for your healing journey. As a chiropractor of over 20 years, I appreciate the uniqueness of their gifts and talents. I have heard stellar feedback from others that have sought their care!

Phoenix has an amazing ability to see so many beautiful traits in everyone. He can make anyone feel like the most special person on the planet. Deep compassion and listening skills.

Definitely one of the best massages I've ever had. I suffer from chronic neck & shoulder tension. Phoenix's approach was simultaneously relaxing and therapeutic.

I visited Blossom & Be wellness yesterday because of my seasonal tension in my back with allergies and to get started on a self care regime of getting regular massages. I had a 90 minute session with Avyanna. She blended Swedish & Deep tissue massage based on my needs. The entire experience was amazing. She was very thorough with explaining everything and making sure the pressure was comfortable and suitable. I had never had this type of blended massage before and was blown away. Not only did she get all my knots out, she got to the bottom of the source of my back issues from playing softball 20 years ago! I've had 2 therapists in the past ask if I was left handed (I'm not) due to the muscle mass difference on each side of my back. Come to find out, it's likely due to pitching softball in high school, and she also advised some things I can do to help with getting everything evened out so there's less stress on my back. The space is so quiet, relaxing and comfortable. I'm so happy to find a go to massage therapist and very much look forward to visiting on a regular basis. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a therapist who goes above and beyond! Thanks Avyanna!!

My husband and I had our first couples massage with Avyanna and Phoenix yesterday. Top notch from start to finish! We are still talking about it. We absolutely will be back and they have our business as long as they are in business! I'm telling everyone I know!

My personal experience of Phoenix and Avyanna is one of presence and deep healing. I’ve had a session with Avyanna and felt so completely cared for and seen. She has the capacity to be entirely there and offer what she sees and feels in such a loving way. She is a true healer in all aspects. Together with her partner Phoenix, they’ve created such a conducive environment for healing, one where you have an opportunity to go as deep as you wish. They are kind and gentle and present. Beautiful guides for your healing journey…

With the large number of massage therapists in Asheville, it's hard to find one who stands out. At Blossom & Be, there manage to be TWO who outshine any other massage experience I've had. Both Phoenix and Avyanna are kind, intuitive individuals who provide the perfect massage experience depending on your needs. I highly recommend!

Had a wonderful massage and enjoyed being relaxed for many days afterwards. Avyanna is amazing and the environment is very relaxing. I often forget to take care of myself and my visit to Blossom and Be wellness reminded me that I need to do this more often.

I walked in at the end of my workweek tense and completely in my head. Avyanna's touch grounded me and brought my awareness to my body. At the end of the session I felt like melted butter - completely relaxed and with a strong feeling of well-being. I highly recommend Blossom & Be!

Phoenix is an excellent Life Coach. His array of inner support tools along with compassion and empathy skills allow people to go deep quickly and safely. He really enjoys contributing to people on a deep level. So, if you want lasting change in your life, he's the man to see.

Definitely the best massage I’ve ever had. Avyanna was very attuned to me and my experience. Her techniques brought great relaxation, release, and a feeling of bliss. Highly recommended!

Had a lovely massage from Avyanna this morning and have been blissed out all day. She does a great job of finding the proper pressure level for the massage and then relaxes your whole body with long strokes. Looking forward to heading back soon!

Phoenix is an amazing facilitator and teacher. I appreciate the qualities he brings holding the masculine with such tenderness.

Phoenix has been an amazing life coach and brings to the table many years of very mindful learning. My wife and I have had our personal relationship with each other transformed through this work and we have also been able to utilize phoenix’s experience to help us manage some of our business as well. I greatly appreciate his loving compassion and guidance and wholeheartedly recommend him.

Avyanna and Phoenix gave my husband and I amazing massages when we were visiting Asheville. Their space is serene and holds the upmost clarity of healing energy. It's palpable as soon as you walk in the door. They're warm and knowledgeable. We savored every minute of our sessions and can't wait to visit again!

Very professional and very helpful. After a little over a month of seeing Phoenix for work on my hip, I was back to hiking and swimming. He worked closely with my PT and was open and committed to giving me comprehensive care. Great experience all around!

Avyanna had skill, intuition, and moves to make me feel glorious. I have had lots of bodywork and lots of body workers through my long years and by far I can say she is magnificent and THE best of all. Also, being in her energy restores me. So glad to have her as an addition to Asheville.

Avyanna’s Deep Tissue Massage was very therapeutic on all levels. I had instant improvements to my neck and shoulder pain. Knowledgeable and professional. Thank you!

I've known Phoenix for +10 years. He loves with all his heart and he is all heart. Whatever your concern he can help. Their name says what they desire for you: Blossom and Be!

I can highly recommend both Avyanna and Phoenix. I have been a chiropractor for 20 years, so I have not only been to a lot of different massage therapists, I have worked with them in my offices as well. Phoenix and Avyanna are among the best massage therapists that I have ever experienced. Great service and very relaxing and safe atmosphere.

Phoenix and Avyanna address mind, body and nutritional topics with informed depth, careful listening and a treasure trove of experience and information. If you are looking for tools with which to live better, you can find them at Blossom and Be.

Avyanna is a highly skilled and intuitive practitioner. I have received maybe 8+ massages from her. I always feel satisfied. She is thorough and has a true commitment to healing. I recommend her to my people!

Phoenix is a master at helping me slow down what’s happening inside me, so that I can hold and examine each piece, with his safe and comforting presence to guide me. This way I come to understand it, accept it, love it, and integrate it into a more whole, more peaceful me. Each session saves my life. I only spring for them when I’m in the spiritual ER, but I’m going to manifest more regular check-ups with this artful healer.

Avyanna at Blossom and Be is SO amazing! I have been to many massages, but nothing was like this experience. From the very beginning of the massage, it felt like her hands were communicating directly with my whole being. Not just using her hands to push and pull muscles and tissue around to make it better, but actually speaking and listening to what my body was needing to be healed. Avyanna is a true healer; empathic and caring, and incredibly talented as a massage therapist! Her hands are magic. I can't wait to go see her again, I highly recommend Blossom and Be!

Words cannot express or begin to describe the experience. The atmosphere is so serene and welcoming. If you have not checked it out....Shame on you! Hurry up! You will not regret it. Peace & Light

Just do it! Book a couple’s massage….We had a lovely service from Phoenix and Avyanna. Their energy as a loving couple amplifies the session and yields delightful relaxation and awesome therapeutic relief. My husband and I own a Wellness Center and we would not hesitate to recommend this service personally and professionally.

Wow, Phoenix that was exactly what my body needed. You are a total natural. The level of intuition that can be felt through your hands is remarkable. Terrific integration of myofascial and trigger point. Your specific attention to "trouble" spots was "spot on." My favorite part of the massage was "All of it!"

Wow! I have had massage from several different people in the last 20 years, but I have to say that my most recent massage with Avyanna of Blossom and Be Wellness Retreat was by far one of the best! I have also scheduled a massage for my partner and her response was the same..."Best massage ever!" I highly recommend you give her a try....you will find yourself hooked as well!

I am so happy to be able to refer my patients to Avyanna and Phoenix. They are both very knowledgeable, compassionate and thorough. My patients rave about how amazing they feel afterwards! Their space is very healing and welcoming. I have seen them both myself, and I always feel like melted butter afterwards. Any tightness, mental stress or pain is gone when I leave. Thank you both for truly caring about your client’s well-being and providing quality wellness support for our community!

AWESOME!! Relaxing atmosphere. Went in for couple's massage. My wife likes it gentle and said it was the best one she had received with Avyanna. I like it intense, deep-tissue, and Phoenix did not disappoint. He found at least 6 knots and really stretched out my muscles. The best part was a discomfort I was having for about 8 months at a point I had a hernia operation disappeared for the entire weekend. Once I got back to work and started my leaning over, the discomfort came back. So I now realize my discomfort is a combination of back muscle issues and scar tissue from the surgery. My Family Doctor said he thought it was reference pain, and he was correct. But Phoenix was able to open all this up in one 1-hour session, that went by fast. Oh, when we arrived, Phoenix and Avyanna had a bag of Lindt Chocolates and 3 Red Roses for my wife's birthday. She told me "nice touch". Just a wonderful experience. I am 50 and this was my FIRST 1- hour massage. I WILL be back.

Excellent. Avyanna’s the best massage therapist I’ve ever been to. Hands down, no question. Love everything about my sessions with her.

My massage at Blossom & Be was professional and excellent! Phoenix is a highly skilled massage therapist who both enjoys his work and is quite good at it. I can recommend him without reservation to anyone who appreciates the value of a great massage.

Phoenix, your coach at Blossom and Be, allows you to explore your thoughts and grow in knowledge about yourself.

Phoenix is amazing! I recently had a massage and can tell he really knows what he's doing. His strength allows him to work the muscles at a deeper level than most. He gets results without causing pain. Highly recommended!

Fantastic! My wife and I both are HUGE FANS of Blossom and Be Wellness - recommend coming here 110%.

Phoenix is the real deal. Every time we meet I feel like somehow he knows me better than I know myself. I always leave our sessions with a sense of clarity, vision, and excitement for life. His compassionate, gentle yet clear and to the point approach makes him just perfect for his work. I couldn't be more grateful for the work we have done together.

This is the absolute best place in all of Asheville for the best massage money can buy. If you have an issue and you need help, you owe it to yourself to try this place. You won't be disappointed! Phoenix is an extremely gifted, educated and professional massage Therapist. I am 45 years old and have seen at least 30 different therapists in my lifetime, and as far as deep tissue is concerned, he is the absolute best by far. I would rate the quality of his care 10 out of 10.

Avyanna is one of the best bodyworkers and people I have ever been blessed to work with. She has a heart of gold and her work leaves you feeling comforted, heard and revitalized. She holds sacred space for healing and is in tune with those that are highly sensitive. There aren’t enough good things I can say; besides that, I have worked with many workers in the Asheville area and she is the top!

I have had two massages now with Blossom and Be. One with Avyanna when I had what felt like a pinched nerve in my neck. Her deep and intuitive work in my neck was amazing. The pressure was perfect, therapeutic but also allowed me to relax when I was in so much pain. Her knowledge and experience go way beyond massage and I felt incredibly safe. Loved the ambiance of the room! Had a second massage this week with Phoenix and was experiencing tight pectoral muscles since last November. Sometimes painful but a constant tightness and limiting my activities. Again, the ambiance of this place is delightful, I wanted to just stay. I had tea and slipped my feet into a portable foot acupuncture/massage device while I waited. His work was thorough and deep with attention to my tight muscles and I am so happy to say that it has been three days and the tightness is still gone! I have had a massage once a month since November and so far, no one has been able to release the tension. Thank you, Phoenix, I'll be back...and I recommend an hour and a half! You won't regret it.

My experience at Blossom and Be was phenomenal. I have had many pleasant massages with other skilled massage therapists in the past, but I’ve never had an experience quite as powerful as what came from my massage with Avyanna. The impact of the massage carried on far longer than just the 90 minutes I spent on the table. First, I was invited into the uber-cozy Blossom and Be lobby which was immediately calming. Avyanna was extremely professional and extended so much care and warmth towards me as we discussed my desires for the session. She took plenty of time to gain a strong understanding of what I was looking for and repeatedly emphasized that she was interested in feedback (which is always helpful for me to hear). My actual experience in the massage was nothing short of blissful. On a physical level, she was extremely strong and seemed to effortlessly maintain the high pressure that I prefer throughout the 90 minutes. She used techniques that I’d never experienced before that felt aaaamazinnnng – loosening up perpetually tense areas of my body and sending me into somewhat of a trance in the moment. I felt Avyanna’s full energetic presence throughout the entire 90-minute session. It was clear that she has a gift of strong intuition as she was finely attuned to my body and what it needed. For hours and hours after the massage, I kept expecting to “wake up” from the daze I was in, but it just wasn’t happening. For days my body felt relaxed, my heart felt so open, my conscious mind took a break from hyper-active duty, and I felt a general sense of surrender - all of which felt like signs that my mind and body were in the process of deep integration. To sum it up, Avyanna’s compassionate care, intuitive presence, and strong massage skills worked powerfully together to unlock some of the glitches in my body and mind to help me heal, integrate, and grow. The words “Blossom and Be” perfectly reflect my over-all experience!

I showed up to today’s massage stressed like nobody’s business. The hate from the last week had sent me to the edge. I was able to talk to her about my stress and sadness. THEN she took her magic hands and not only took ALL of my stress away, I even got to experience pleasure. Avyanna is a healer, that's all there is to it. Thank you Avyanna!!!

Asheville has many good massage therapists, yet if you want truly one of the best…Phoenix is the one! I was a massage therapist for 18-yrs and currently teach at a local massage school, and I can whole-heartedly endorse the outstanding experience of receiving bodywork from Phoenix. His presence, nurturing, precision skill and professionalism is top-notch. It was so easy to surrender into healing because of the sense of trust and safety that Phoenix provides not only in his massage techniques… but in his being. I felt healed on many levels and left with a sense of relief in my body I haven’t experienced in years. I just can’t wait to go back!

My 90-min Deep Tissue Massage was amazing! I came in with shoulder pain and limited range of motion and left with full range back and almost no pain. The next morning it was gone completely! Thank you so very much for addressing the issues I was dealing with and still fit in time to cover the full body. The pressure was great and well communicated. By the end I was super relaxed and think I was drooling…now that’s a fantastic massage!

I recently moved back to this area after being away at school for several years, and one of my primary concerns about moving was being able to find someone I could trust who does abdominal massage. I had been getting my belly worked on weekly for about a year prior to moving, and the work had been deeply healing after struggling for many years with post-surgical abdominal adhesions as well as inflammatory bowel problems. However, it took me a long time to find a practitioner who I trusted to let in on that intimate level -- bellies hold a lot, physically AND emotionally! Turns out, I am incredibly lucky and happened into Avyanna's office right off the bat. She was incredibly warm, empathetic, and knowledgeable. I felt very seen and understood as well as empowered to direct the session according to my physical limitations and emotional needs. I can't wait to go back for my follow up!

I have been meeting with Phoenix for a while now for counseling. I am married with teenage children and a business owner. My busy lifestyle leaves little time for self-reflection. Meeting with Phoenix has proven helpful in multiple ways. He has extensive life experience and training which is great for an unbiased outside view of myself. He has helped with my internal conflicts as well as the emotional roller coaster of raising teenagers this day in age. I would recommend Blossom and Be to anyone looking for more clarity in their life.

Had my first massage with Phoenix today and he nailed it! Perfect blend of super deep work done smoothly - totally relaxing. I was able to drift off during the massage. Look forward to going back regularly.
