"Some places are hard to leave... places where time stands still, where new dreams are realized, and where the static noise of the world just fades away. Places that remind us about the fact that we’ve been given so much, yet we’ve actually given so little.
You can’t force people to care, to stop seeing the world in black and white, or to put their personal agendas aside... but, if you can get them to connect in the same way you have... you just might plant a seed." - Debbie Hanson (https://www.facebook.com/shefishes2/)
I saw the above post on a friends page as I was working on this post. It really hit home, because well... Heart & Soul Massage was one of those places.
Hi there guys, it's Aimee Smith. For the last four years, Heart & Soul was practically my second home. I may have massaged you, but even if I haven't, I'm sure you remember seeing me around the place.
Heart & Soul has completely deleted all of their social media and internet presence, and I feel that it has been left to me to compile a page and information for anyone out there searching for what happened to Heart & Soul Healing Arts and Massage Therapy.
It's sad to me that years of somewhere that I worked at has been reduced to a handful of words, links, and images... I made this both for me and also for any previous Heart & Soul Clients. I don't have many pictures, but the few there are speak a thousand words.
If you are looking for Heart & Soul Massage Therapy... sadly they closed on March 13th, 2020 and then permanently closed their doors on May 31, 2020.
But, don't despair, almost ALL your favorite massage therapists are still doing massage AND would love to get in contact with you. I along with many of them have started their own places.
Please reach out to me, as I will try to connect you with your LMT!
Text, Email, or Call me. (Texts and Emails will typically be answered faster as they are easier for me to check in between sessions)
... Now, here's some pictures from the past...
"Heart and Soul Healing Arts and Massage Therapy is family owned and operated. We've been serving Lee County Florida since 2003. We specialize in Massage, Reiki and Reflexology. We also offer two options for Himalayan Salt Therapy. A Salt Mist Serenity Lounge and a private salt treatment room."

The below excerpt is from a letter all LMT's received from the owners of Heart & Soul Massage Therapy prior to the May 31, 2020 permanent closure.
"Dear H&S Family,
We have always been up front with you. We keep you in the loop with regards to H&S updates, information and the "goings on" that you need to be made aware of. We value your time and consider all of you extended family. So in keeping with our tradition of being upfront and honest with you, we have to inform you about the decision we have made.
This was not an easy decision to arrive at. We've prayed, pondered, questioned, and what we kept coming back around to us, is that the time has come, and we will be closing H&S permanently.
We, like many of you, have incurred financial loss during the COVID-19 pandemic, causing numerous changes in the immediate, as well as in the near future.
We have owned/operated H&S for 17 wonderful years. We have made life long friends, we have helped give people job opportunities, and all of us have provided professional, unique, quality services to the people of our community.
Time really does fly by in a flash, so much life has happened over the past 17 years. We have had the best experience possible as the owners and proprietors of H&S and we could not have wished for a better set of circumstances. We are so blessed to have all of you in our lives. We have been blessed and enriched by all of you over the years.
Each of you means so much to us. We have worked as a team, and each one of you has played an integral role in the function of H&S.
We have been blessed by the giving of your talents, your loving heart for people and we want to thank you for bringing your gifts to share with everyone touched by H&S.
Along the way we have been very blessed with wonderful and dedicated clients that sing our praises. Without them, none of us could have had the opportunity and experiences we have been blessed to be a part of over the past 17 years.
God has been so good to us and to our entire H&S family.
From the bottom of our hearts, we all want to thank you for your friendships, your support, your dedication, your work ethics and we will forever consider all of you part of our H&S family.
Only God knows what tomorrow will bring. Everyone seems to be finding themselves in a place of great change, we know that each of us has new and exciting adventures to enjoy.
With much love and heartfelt thanks, Roger and Pat"

This was my reply to the now deleted Heart & Soul Massage Therapy Facebook post announcing their closure
"I was one of the therapists that had only been with Heart & Soul at their newest (and last) location on Nicholas Parkway West.
generous, caring, loving, and kind
that's how I would describe
all of my extended Heart & Soul family
No longer "bosses" or "employers"
No longer " clients or "coworkers"
Now just "family" and "friends"
I am honored to have been a small part of this seventeen year legacy. Thank you for the opportunity to have been part of something much greater than just one person or one place can contain.
Heart & Soul may be closing its building... but you will always remain a core part of me for your leadership, mentorship and friendship." - Aimee Smith, LMT
