Recession, long days at work, screaming kids, and inept drivers leave us tired, sore and stressed.

When life hands you tense, aching bodies where do you go? Rejuvenation, of course.

Meet three Ballard residents, Mara McCune, Kelli Riddle and Darian Weaver. These three business partners come together with a vision and passion for wholeness and healing, and a sense that a unified, symbiotic massage practice is beneficial for them and the community.

The Ballard triumvirate opened the business in April of 2006.

“We wanted to do something beyond massage," said McCune. "We wanted to work with our community."

The three partners have a combined experience of nearly 25 years, in addition to a few other therapists who practice at Rejuvenation. A broad range of massage services is provided, from orthopedic rehabilitation, sacred hot stone, craniosacral therapy, essential oils aromatherapy, to pre-natal massage.

“We all do different things and have different styles so we decided to come together,” said Weaver. “We want to give people options. People’s bodies need different things and we all have different specialties.”

Echoing his sentiment, McCune explained, “A client can come in for half an hour and see Kelli for hip work, Darian for shoulder work. You get the best of both worlds and you don’t have to leave Ballard.”

There is a cozy feel to Rejuvenation. It lacks the sterile, clinical feel of most practices.

Enter and wait with a cup of tea. The whole point is to feel relaxed from the moment you enter. Then you leave feeling, indeed, rejuvenated.

When asked what she likes most about serving the Ballard community, Riddle said, “The people I’ve met [in Ballard] draw me here and I want to stay here.”

“I don’t ever have to leave. Everything I need is in Ballard,” chimed in Weaver.

These three Ballard loyalists also network within Ballard and promote other Ballard businesses and doctor’s offices, such as Ballard Neighborhood Doctors. This makes sense for a business running primarily on a Ballard clientele-base with most referrals coming through word of mouth.

Coupons and promotions for Rejuvenation can be found online and at other local shops and cafés, such as Fiore. Speaking of promotions, all summer long Rejuvenation is offering $15 off all hour-long services.

Take a moment to relax, find healing and renewal and provide wellness for your body. Rejuvenation is a one-stop shop for a wide range of massage practices.

Make an appointment to take a much-needed break from the stress and chaos of life.
