About the Studio...

Acacia has continuously transformed itself since 1994 when Barbara began her practice in Cannon Falls. Just before the millennium, she took a leap of faith; buying the building, beginning the journey that has become Acacia. Many talented practitioners have graced her hallway and 6 rooms. Much gratitude...

Covid brought opportunity as well as challenges. Classes were put on hold before the two rooms were combined into one classroom (April 2020). Barbara seized the chance to remodel the front into a smaller wait area plus an additional treatment room (January 2021). It completes the rebirth of Acacia Massage & Healing Center as home for 5 practitioners plus the classroom. Instructors from within Acacia as well as others. See current list of classes.

Barbara's dream to create a healing space, bringing possibility to healthcare practitioners and clients together, continues...
