Violet Fog Massage and Wellness

More than a year after Hurricane Helene, the lights are back on at Asheville Cotton Mill.

Built in 1887, Cotton Mill Studios is a historic mill building in Asheville’s River Arts District where visitors can step inside working artist studios and meet the makers behind the work.

Artists are back at work. The halls are open. The River Arts District keeps creating.

If you’ve been meaning to visit, now’s a good time.

Welcome back, Asheville Cotton Mill. ❤️

Friday’s event was the inaugural meeting of the Primal Scream Club, a program from the West Asheville Library. For Francie Genz, who wore a black t-shirt with the catchphrase “In the Flerd, We all Fam,” the scream was a meaningful way to commemorate all that Asheville has been through in the last year. “I think particularly today, we need to get it out and we need to feel it and we need to be together and know that we’re all feeling this,” she said. “A year ago, this bridge was underwater. Everything here was underwater.”

If you’re heading to volunteer at any of these places and coming from Asheville please bring a load of supplies 💗
This list will be relevant until at least Saturday 🫶🏼 I will keep it updated.

First I wanna say thank you to everyone putting so much time, effort, money , hours traveling to my hometown to try and help out in anyway possible. BUT PLEASE WAIT TO COME HELP WITH HELENE!!!!! There has been such a be influx of supplies & people eager to help. But right now it’s just all too much at once and roads are too busy to be helpful right now ! Mainly speaking for Asheville area !!

*People are traveling so far and spending so much money as well as wasting food because they’re are arriving to only have to sit idle or go home because 50 people are trying to go do the same thing *

I strongly encourage you to come mid to later next week whenever people are starting to forget about us and we have the bandwidth and infrastructure to deal with the amount of people and supplies that are being sent here to try to help!!!!

This whole region definitely needs as much help as they can get, but we need folks to realize this is going to be an ongoing devastation for WEEKS & MONTHS and need people to come help over that span of time not all at once !

Thank you to all of the beautiful souls and caring hearts that have put forth SO MUCH for our beautiful mountains !

Ok great :). So I specialize in integrated clinical massage. An overall relaxing massage with focus on trigger point work . A 60 minute session is $100 . But all tools I see fit are included in the session. Example hot stones l, aromatherapy, hot towels & cupping . I offer sliding scale for persons with disabilities & their care givers. For a package of 4 massages I offer 20% off . So therefore each 60 minute massage would be $80 . Please let me know if you have any questions :)
