Massage Therapist
Meranda blanchard
I have lived up here since 2010 and I try to explore all parts of Alaska whenever possible. In the summertime, I LOVE to kayak, hike, and explore Alaska by road trips. In the wintertime, I LOVE to leave Alaska....just kidding. My dog absolutely loves it when it snows, so I love to take him on walks in the winter because we both enjoy the cold and the beauty of Alaskan winters. I always get asked what made me become a massage therapist. When I was six years old I was in a horrible car accident with my mother and brother. My mother almost died and ended up needing 26 surgeries. She had to learn how to walk again after the steering wheel crushed both her femurs. I grew up seeing my mother struggle through unimaginable pain and the stress that comes with it. If anyone needed a massage to relieve pain and stress and improve their quality of life it was her. I decided to tour a massage school and signed up for classes that same day. I worked two jobs to pay my way through massage school. License #101451

Massage Therapist
Alicia Sanderson
Hello, my name is Alicia Sanderson, and I am a licensed massage therapist with 625 hours of massage therapy training at a respectable local school in Wasilla Alaska. I was born and raised in Alaska. I enjoy hiking, four wheeling, hunting, fishing, berry picking, snowboarding, skiing, if there is adventure in it, I am there! My hobbies are painting on canvases and woodworking projects. I am a mother of three wonderful children who keep me on my feet all day every day. My passion to be a massage therapist began after my career as an electronic warfare technician came to an end, and raising my children began. I have a strong desire to help others feel their best and achieve their health and wellness goals through the art of massage therapy. I am very excited to be part of the healthcare team and to apply what I have learned. License #220619

Massage Therapist
Mary Asher
My goal is to create a space where you can pause, breathe, and feel fully present in your own body. Every session I offer is guided by intuition, care, and a deep respect for your unique needs. I want you to leave feeling lighter, aligned, and renewed.
I believe massage is about reconnecting with your body’s natural flow, easing tension, and allowing yourself the space to simply be. I find deep fulfillment in helping you walk away feeling grounded, refreshed, and in harmony with yourself.
I specialize in deep tissue, gua sha, hot stone, and medical massage.
