About us

Lotus Massage & Wellness was born from a simple desire: to share the healing power of massage with the Cheboygan community. The goal is to create a calm, safe space where clients feel truly listened to—working together as a team to support relaxation, healing, and relief from pain.

The name draws inspiration from the lotus flower, a symbol of growth, resilience, and beauty emerging from even the murkiest waters. At Lotus Massage & Wellness, that philosophy guides every session: creating space for stillness, self-care, and transformation—no matter what life has stirred up.

Meet Tori – Owner & Licensed Massage Therapist

I’m a Cheboygan local who grew up as the “family massage therapist,” always drawn to helping others feel better in their bodies. I felt a calling to this work early on, even before I knew it could be a career.

After moving to Chicago, life took a turn during the pandemic when my job shut down. That moment pushed me toward something I’d always felt pulled to—and I enrolled at the SOMA Institute of Chicago. I graduated in August 2021 and soon returned home to northern Michigan.

Over the next few years, I gained experience working in Cheboygan, Mackinac Island, and Boyne City, refining my skills and deepening my approach. In November 2024, I was able to open Lotus Massage & Wellness within Life Balance —a peaceful, collaborative space dedicated to holistic healing. Being surrounded by other wellness professionals allows me to offer clients not just a massage, but a calm environment that supports whole-body well-being.
