Laura Strong, founder of the Holistic Chamber of Minnesota (HCMN), launched The Metamorphosis Center, in 2012, as a sacred and safe space for people to explore all things mind, body, and spirit for personal development. As her vision grew, so did the need for additional space and offerings. To that end, Strong has purchased Dynamic Journey Massage & Wellness, Inc. (DJMW) with plans to merge her two businesses as of July 1, under the name The Metamorphosis Wellness Center. Each business will remain at its current location in Burnsville, with the long-range plan of consolidating into one building.

Ann Scarborough, former owner and president of DJMW, is moving to Wyoming, which prompted her search for a buyer who shared her vision for the future of the collaborative business, honored the associates that leased her office space, and guaranteed continuity of care for her massage and lymph therapy clients.

As a member of the HCMN, Scarborough served for 14 months as a new member ambassador, where she forged relationships with area schools providing holistic training such as massage and shiatsu therapy and integrative health. She enjoyed promoting the Holistic Chamber because, in her 20 years as a massage therapist, that type of support had not previously been available.

Scarborough, who views Strong as ‘the patron saint of holistic practitioners,’ states, “Working with Laura was thrilling because of her passion and vision for helping holistic professionals develop their business skills for financial success.”

DJMW unredeemed gift certificates will be honored by massage therapists Dana Buddenbaum and Amy Dale. Other services available include craniosacral, faster EFT, advanced energy healing, hypnotherapy and nutritional counseling.
