Angie Johnson
Front Desk Associate
Originally from Florida, I selected the friendly and idyllic town of Morganton to escape to back in 2018. I am deeply passionate about seeking growth and nourishment through connection with nature and life experiences. I enjoy hiking, biking and any activity in or near water. While my hobbies allow for a renewed spirit, they tend to leave me with some aches and pains. Thank goodness I found Mindful Touch Massage when I did for the relief I need to allow me to keep doing the things I love!
I believe that massage therapy is the most soothing and nurturing path to feeling better physically and emotionally. In a consumer driven society where so many products claim to deliver quick results, massage therapy is one of the best services we can rely on to provide truly, instantaneous relief! I am honored to assist you or your loved ones in experiencing the gift of relaxation and therapeutic treatments on your journey to wellness.
By far the best massage I have ever had!! So clean and relaxing when you walk in and the service was top notch!

I booked a wrap with Nikki. This was a new service being offered and it was wonderful! Nikki was very mindful of my comfort level, making sure to ask periodically how I was feeling and making adjustments as necessary. COVID precautions were taken very seriously and I felt very comfortable. It was a well-needed pampering experience and I booked my next appointment right then and there! Highly recommend Mindful Touch! Thanks, Nikki!
