In a recent episode of The Day with Trae, host Trae Holiday welcomed Jamila April Johnson, a licensed massage therapist, Esthetician and founder of Beautiful Awakenings spa. This spa offers a unique blend of therapeutic services and special events, all designed to promote self-love and holistic healing.  

Jamila's journey to creating Beautiful Awakenings began with a desire to help people heal on a soul level. "I just kept going back to massage therapy," she says, "just a way that I can help people and really just meet their needs, but also just at a soul level, help people heal." After graduating from school for interior design, she felt a calling to pursue massage therapy as a way to connect with others and provide a truly transformative experience. Her passion for both design and healing arts led her to create a space that is not only visually stunning but also deeply nurturing.    

The spa itself is a testament to Jamila's keen eye for design. Housed in a renovated building from the 1950s, Beautiful Awakenings features a warm and inviting atmosphere, with thoughtful touches that create a sense of tranquility. "I just saw a vision for this space and what it could become," Jamila explains. "And I said, 'You know what? I trust God. I know that he is going to absolutely be with me on this journey.'"    

Beautiful Awakenings offers a range of services to cater to your individual needs. Whether you're seeking relief from muscle tension, a revitalizing facial, or a special event to celebrate a milestone, Jamila and her team are dedicated to providing exceptional care. "It's not always about nickel and diming," Jamila says. "It's about impact." The spa also hosts spa parties and bridal showers, offering a unique and memorable way to gather with friends and loved ones.    

In addition to its regular services, Beautiful Awakenings hosts a variety of events throughout the year. The upcoming End of Summer Soul Soiree promises to be a celebration of community, featuring live music, delicious soul food, and a book launch by local author Jesse Rhodes. "I'm able to support Black-owned businesses, and also just, again, create community collaboration and just have a great time," Jamila shares.    

One of the things that sets Beautiful Awakenings apart is its dedication to serving the local community. Jamila is proud to offer services that cater to people of all ethnicities, with a special focus on meeting the needs of clients with darker skin tones. "It feels great to really cater to, you know, darker skin tones and just help people to feel more comfortable with how I'm treating their skin and their body," she says.    

Beautiful Awakenings Spa is more than just a business; it's a labor of love and a testament to the power of healing and community. Whether you're seeking a moment of relaxation, a special event to celebrate with friends, or a deeper connection with your inner self, Beautiful Awakenings is the perfect destination. Book your appointment today and experience the transformative power of this unique oasis.
