The Sanctuary is an alchemy of healing that entices you in a state of solitude, peace and total well-being of body, mind, heart and soul. We blend Ayurveda, Integrative Massage, Sound Healing, Energy Healing, Aromatherapy, and all things heart-centered to provide all you need to deeply unwind, release and surrender to the health, happiness and wholeness within you.
Inspired by the many modalities and world-renowned wellness centers in which our founder, Kelie Micho, has practiced throughout her 20 years of experience… she decided that it was finally time to create her own offering of sacred healing to the world through products, services and live events.

KELIE MICHO
Kelie is a seasoned Holistic Health Practitioner with a profound journey spanning 23 years in bodywork and massage therapy. Her expertise was cultivated at the renowned International Professional School of Bodywork in San Diego, where she delved into the intricacies of healing touch back in 1999. Over the years, Kelie has graced the corridors of esteemed spas across the country, including an enriching eight-year tenure at The Chopra Center for Wellbeing, where she specialized in the art of Ayurvedic massage.
Her credentials extend beyond massage, as Kelie holds certifications as a Reiki Master, and in Soul Memory Discovery, Thai Massage, Equine Massage and trainer in Ayurvedic body treatments.
However, her true calling lies in holding space for others' healing journeys. In her sessions, Kelie cultivates a nurturing and compassionate environment, allowing her clients to unravel and embark on a path of self-discovery and healing. She adeptly guides individuals in clearing old patterns, alleviating pain, and reconnecting with their authentic selves through a blend of bodywork, energy healing, sound therapy, and the profound healing power of animals.
For Kelie, animals are not just companions; they are cherished confidants, heart healers, and sources of daily joy and inspiration. She finds immense fulfillment in nurturing connections between people, animals, and nature, creating sacred spaces where genuine connections and transformative moments unfold effortlessly.
Kelie's personal joys extend beyond her professional pursuits. Nestled near Asheville, NC, amidst the serene beauty of the Appalachian mountains, she finds solace and joy in the simple pleasures of life. Whether she's immersing herself in the natural wonders of her surroundings, whipping up culinary delights to share with loved ones, tending to her plants, embarking on soul-enriching travels, or simply reveling in cozy comforts, Kelie's zest for life and laughter shines through in all she does
.“We are all radiant reflections of one another and have so many sweet blessings to share. Let us always remember to love unconditionally, connect consciously, and laugh a LOT!”
