Who we are.

As a passionate team of certified massage professionals, we embody the meaning of Meraki by committing our creativity and soul into the discipline we love.

June Yee

Owner & Founder

June sources her inspiration from wanting to help others and their bodies achieve a healthy and active lifestyle. This motivation, coupled with her keen interest in the human anatomy, propelled June to pursue the discipline of massage therapy. Too often she had heard of unsatisfied treatments and saw this as an opportunity to flex her passion, while providing knowledgeable treatments and promoting self-care. However, an unfortunate car accident in early 2016, injured her hand and rendering her ability to continue massage. While recovering, her curiosity spurred the research and pursuit of a more therapeutic approach to massage while helping people authentically connect, heal, and rejuvenate in a safe holistic environment.

Mizz Scarlett

CERTIFIED THERAPY FLOOF

Hi Everyone! My name is Mizz Scarlett!

I wanted to take a quick moment to introduce myself!

I am a sassy, foxy, intelligent little floof bean that needed an urgent foster…  Thankfully my mom officially adopted me and now I am part of the Meraki tribe!

I am taking my role as the unofficial supervisor very seriously! – Please be patient with me as I am still learning the ropes & shop etiquette!

I know my heavenly sister Pele would be very proud of me as I am working extremely hard to fill the big paw prints that she left behind here!
