What is A Healing Spot?

A Healing Spot was designed as a place where people can go to relax, renew, get in touch with their spirituality, and find healing through a variety of means massage therapy, personal coaching, workshops and groups, nature walk and meditation spots, communing with animals, use of library and resources, and relaxing with sauna and hot tub.

We have created this organization for everyone regardless of financial situation; all of our services are offered with a suggested donation, but we encourage people to pay what they can afford. For some, this may mean paying less than the suggested amount. Those with the ability who choose to pay more enable us to provide services to others who may have less.

Community is important to us at A Healing Spot, we encourage your involvement, your input and your attendance. If you have talents that you would like to share, classes you are able to teach, funds or assets that you would like to contribute, we are most appreciative.


Doug graduated from the Minneapolis School of Massage & Bodywork in 1997, and has been in private practice since then. Dana has her Masters in Counseling from SCSU, and took her massage coursework through UW Madison and Sister Rosalind's.

When Doug and Dana aren't doing massage and coaching, they stay busy with their seven children, twenty-seven animals (and counting), and enjoying life to its fullest. 

Our oldest son, Dan Peterson, recently graduated from the Minneapolis School of Massage and Bodywork and is now available for massage therapy at A Healing Spot.
