LMBT #5773
Relaxation and stress management is my passion and specialty. I love helping people ease their stress by getting them deeply relaxed. I started this amazing career when I was 30. I went to a wonderful massage school called the Southeastern School of Neuromuscular Therapy. I received my cosmetology license at Avada Institute. I am always studying and doing research on what high end spas do that take an average massage & facial and make it uniquely and truly amazing. I want my clients to go out into the world so much more relaxed and peaceful all around with a feeling of serenity. Go ahead and spoil yourself. You deserve it! You will float away and enjoy the rest of your day!

Charlotte (Cat) T.
Hello My Name Is Charlotte. I relocated to North Carolina in 2016, since then Ive cherished every enriching moment. Having grown up amidst the hustle and bustle of Seattle, I sought a more serene environment as an adult, finding in North Carolina a place to lay down roots and expand.
My family hails from the picturesque Polynesian islands, specifically Samoa, with my father being part of a vibrant family of 13. Raised amidst 9 nurturing aunties, I imbibed the rich Polynesian ethos of laughter, diligence, and respect, always grounded in gratitude for life's blessings.
My vision is to offer a sanctuary for those seeking respite from life's hectic pace, where they can immerse themselves in a rejuvenating experience that nurtures both body and mind. My focus on prioritizing mental and physical well-being, that true success begins with self-care. I look forward to meeting every single beautiful so that I am aligned with and I cannot wait to continue my education in this field to bring more exciting opportunities along the way.

Jacqueline Muench
- If you are having any problems clearing up problems that you have with your skin, then Jacqueline Muench is the person who you definitely need to see! I had lived most of my life in Miami Fl and have been to some of the best Dermatologists around, including the late Dr. Frederic Brandt. Living in Fl alone presents numerous challenges for keeping one's skin in it's the best condition, but I was also an avid boater and outdoor girl. Yikes, the havoc I inflicted on my skin!I was so afraid when I moved to this area that I would not be able to find someone who could help me keep up with all the sun damage which I had inflicted on my poor skin - as well as the challenges that occur with dreaded aging skin. No worries, Jacque has you covered! Not only does she use the finest product lines, but she constantly researches and takes her profession very very seriously. I have had facials with Jacque, which are DIVINE - and most recently had 2 Micro-Needling sessions with her. I was AMAZED at the results after just session, and her prices are far more reasonable than other practitioners that I investigated. I have very sensitive skin and was a bit nervous about doing the Micro-Needling. I also found the prices daunting - But Jacque has it covered. She is VERY careful when she initially questions you about your skin and any concerns which you may have. In fact, I had questioned a local Dermatologist about something, as I had read something which was contrary to what she was saying. I wasn't comfortable with her response - and darned if Jacque didn't bring it up even before I asked her. I'm so very happy with my results and plan to continue with Micro-Needling with Jacque. She is kind, fun, professional, knowledgeable, and never attempts to "push" anything. I HIGHLY recommend all of the services she offers. It actually IS a "Blissful Journey" Thank you, Jacque! By the way, her Infrared Sauna is wonderful for getting out all those toxins as well as yummy during the winter!

- I made an appointment at Blissful Journey on a weekday afternoon for a permanent makeup treatment. I was skeptical about permanent makeup in general but my visit with Jacque was amazing. She was very professional and her attention to detail was exceptional. The results have changed the way I feel about my physical appearance and given me great confidence. I now feel like a rock star and I have received many compliments on my appearance. I couldn't be any more pleased with the outcome. Would I do it again? Without a doubt!!! I highly recommend Jacque and Blissful Journey and wouldn't go anywhere else.

- I cannot begin to express how happy I have been with the permanent make-up I had applied. It has made my appearance so much better and has saved me time as an added bonus. I guess the test is... would I do it again? The answer is absolute, without hesitation. It has made such a difference in the way I look on the outside, but more importantly, how I feel on the inside."

- I have been blessed to be a client of Lila Kirk, LBMT for 15 years. Lila is a truly gifted massage and bodyworker. Her skilled hands seek out the precise points that need attention. I can affirm that, with my many musculoskeletal issues, I can function on a daily basis with her intervention and care. I often gift certificates to friends who need everything from stress relief or palliative care to healing from muscle spasms and tightness. Being a Physical Therapist, I had high expectations and was seeking a practitioner who could provide bodywork and deep tissue manipulation, and I was looking for a therapist with precisely Lila's skills. Lila is a consummate professional, working to improve her skills and provide exactly what each client needs. I highly recommend allowing yourself the benefit of her healing touch."

-Lila has been my massage therapist for over 12 years and I love her massages! She regularly works out the stress-caused knots in my shoulders and she has helped with my bouts of sciatica and bursitis in my hip. I had some surgery a year ago to repair my foot and Lila has helped with sporadic swelling in that foot. When traveling to other places I have had massages by other practitioners but no one is as good as Lila. She will be my massage therapist until she retires, and then I’ll grieve losing her skilled and compassionate care. Plus she’s just a really nice person!

-For more than 40 years, I have been getting massage and bodywork done. I can say -- with absolutely no hesitation -- that Lila Kirk is the best-licensed massage and bodywork therapist I have ever had! I have never left a session where I did not physically feel much better; I have never had a night after a massage where I did not sleep like a log. Lila is also kind beyond measure. Whenever I've had an ache or a pain and needed an at-the-last-minute massage, she has always found a way to work me in. She is a jewel and a tremendous asset to Blissful Journeys Day Spa and Salon.

I have known Faith for quite a few years she is very thorough at what she does. She has given me manicures but her pedicures are out of this world! Your feet will feel like new when she is finished. If you have a problem with your nails she will nurse them back to health and you will be amazed at what she can accomplish. Once she gives you a pedicure you’ll never go to anyone else. I promise you! I know from experience!

We meet Faith over 3 years ago when she worked at The Blue House in Mebane. We were expecting your everyday run of the mill pedicure but boy were we surprised. Faith was not only professional but meeting her for the first time was like we had known her our whole life. She made us feel comfortable and met all of our needs. She always made sure everything was clean and sanitized at all times. Cleanliness was a plus for her, I've never seen anything like this anywhere else. I would give her a 10 across the board. Go see Faith and I promise you will not be disappointed.
